- Room temperature living cationic polymerization of styrene with HX-styrenic monomer adduct/FeCl3 systems in the presence of tetrabutylammonium halide and tetraalkylphosphonium bromide salts
-
Living cationic polymerization of styrene was achieved with a series of initiating systems consisting of a HX-styrenic monomer adduct (X?=?Br, Cl) and ferric chloride (FeCl3) in conjunction with added salts such as tetrabutylammonium halides (nBu4N+Y-; Y-?=?Br-, Cl-, I-) or tetraalkylphosphonium bromides [nR′4PBr; R′?=?CH3CH2-, CH3(CH2)2CH2-, CH3(CH2)6CH2-] or tetraphenylphosphonium bromide [(C6H5)4PBr] in dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) and in toluene. Comparison of the molecular weight distributions (MWDs) of the polystyrenes prepared at different temperatures (e.g., -25?°C, 0?°C and 25?°C) showed that the polymerization is better controlled at ambient temperature (25?°C). The polymerization was almost instantaneous (completed within 1?min) and quantitative (yield ~100%) in CH2Cl2. In CH2Cl2, polystyrenes with moderately narrow (Mw/Mn?~?1.33-1.40) and broad (Mw/Mn?~?1.5-2.4) MWDs were obtained respectively with and without nBu4N+Y-. However, in toluene, the MWDs of the polystyrenes obtained respectively with and without nBu4N+Y-/nR′4P+Br- were moderately narrow (Mw/Mn?=?1.33-1.5) and extremely narrow (Mw/Mn?=?1.05-1.17). Livingness of this polymerization in CH2Cl2 was confirmed via monomer-addition experiment as well as from the study of molecular weights of obtained polystyrenes prepared simply by varying monomer to initiator ratio. A possible mechanistic pathway for this polymerization was suggested based on the results of the 1H NMR spectroscopic analysis of the model reactions as well as the end group analysis of the obtained polymer.

By the reactions of olefins with an equimolar mixture of SbCl5 and I2 in carbon tetrachloride, various chloroiodoalkanes are obtained in fair to good yields.This method is applicable to various deactivated olefins, the reactions of which to not proceed by the reported method using a mixture of CuCl2 and I2.Iodine monocloride can also be used for this reaction, but in this case both the yield and the regiospecificity of the products are sometimes inferior.

- N-Heterocyclic Iod(az)olium Salts – Potent Halogen-Bond Donors in Organocatalysis
-
This article describes the application of N-heterocyclic iod(az)olium salts (NHISs) as highly reactive organocatalysts. A variety of mono- and dicationic NHISs are described and utilized as potent XB-donors in halogen-bond catalysis. They were benchmarked in seven diverse test reactions in which the activation of carbon- and metal-chloride bonds as well as carbonyl and nitro groups was achieved. N-methylated dicationic NHISs rendered the highest reactivity in all investigated catalytic applications with reactivities even higher than all previously described monodentate XB-donors based on iodine(I) and (III) and the strong Lewis acid BF3.

- Nickel-Catalyzed Multicomponent Coupling: Synthesis of α-Chiral Ketones by Reductive Hydrocarbonylation of Alkenes
-
A nickel-catalyzed, multicomponent regio- and enantioselective coupling via sequential hydroformylation and carbonylation from readily available starting materials has been developed. This modular multicomponent hydrofunctionalization strategy enables the straightforward reductive hydrocarbonylation of a broad range of unactivated alkenes to produce a wide variety of unsymmetrical dialkyl ketones bearing a functionalized α-stereocenter, including enantioenriched chiral α-aryl ketones and α-amino ketones. It uses chiral bisoxazoline as a ligand, silane as a reductant, chloroformate as a safe CO source, and a racemic secondary benzyl chloride or an N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHP) ester of a protected α-amino acid as the alkylation reagent. The benign nature of this process renders this method suitable for late-stage functionalization of complex molecules.

- Ferric chloride–catalyzed deoxygenative chlorination of carbonyl compounds: A comparison of chlorodimethylsilane and dichloromethylsilane system
-
Deoxygenative chlorination of carbonyl compounds using the HMe2SiCl/FeCl3/EtOAc and HMeSiCl2/FeCl3/EtOAc systems has been systemically investigated. The HMe2SiCl-FeCl3 system showed the advantages of good substrate applicability, mild reaction conditions, simple operation, low cost, and easy availability of raw materials. Also, it provided a simple and efficient synthesis route for carbonyl deoxychlorination via a one-pot method. Using the HMeSiCl2/FeCl3/EtOAc system, the β-methylchalcone derivative could be obtained in good yields in addition to obtaining the chlorinated compound. Finally, two plausible reaction routes were proposed to describe the formation of the chlorinated compound and the β-methylchalcone derivative.

- Visible Light-Catalyzed Benzylic C-H Bond Chlorination by a Combination of Organic Dye (Acr+-Mes) and N-Chlorosuccinimide
-
By combining "N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS)"as the safe chlorine source with "Acr+-Mes"as the photocatalyst, we successfully achieved benzylic C-H bond chlorination under visible light irradiation. Furthermore, benzylic chlorides could be converted to benzylic ethers smoothly in a one-pot manner by adding sodium methoxide. This mild and scalable chlorination method worked effectively for diverse toluene derivatives, especially for electron-deficient substrates. Careful mechanistic studies supported that NCS provided a hydrogen abstractor "N-centered succinimidyl radical,"which was responsible for the cleavage of the benzylic C-H bond, relying on the reducing ability of Acr?-Mes.

- Unprecedented Reactivities of Highly Reactive Manganese(III)-Iodosylarene Porphyrins in Oxidation Reactions
-
We report that Mn(III)-iodosylarene porphyrins, [MnIII(Porp)(sArIO)]+, are capable of activating the C-H bonds of hydrocarbons, including unactivated alkanes such as cyclohexane, with unprecedented reactivities, such as a low kinetic isotope effect, a saturation behavior of reaction rates, and no electronic effect of porphyrin ligands on the reactivities of [MnIII(Porp)(sArIO)]+. In oxygen atom transfer (OAT) reactions, the sulfoxidation of para-X-substituted thioanisoles by [MnIII(Porp)(sArIO)]+ affords a very unusual behavior in the Hammett plot with the saturation behavior of reaction rates and no electronic effect of porphyrin ligands on reactivities. The reactivities and mechanisms of [MnIII(Porp)(sArIO)]+ are then compared with those of the corresponding MnIV(Porp)(O) complex. The present study reports the first example of highly reactive Mn(III)-iodosylarene porphyrins with unprecedented reactivities in C-H bond activation and OAT reactions.

- Thiourea-Mediated Halogenation of Alcohols
-
The halogenation of alcohols under mild conditions expedited by the presence of substoichiometric amounts of thiourea additives is presented. The amount of thiourea added dictates the pathway of the reaction, which may diverge from the desired halogenation reaction toward oxidation of the alcohol, in the absence of thiourea, or toward starting material recovery when excess thiourea is used. Both bromination and chlorination were highly efficient for primary, secondary, tertiary, and benzyl alcohols and tolerate a broad range of functional groups. Detailed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies, isotopic labeling, and other control experiments suggest a radical-based mechanism. The fact that the reaction is carried out at ambient conditions, uses ubiquitous and inexpensive reagents, boasts a wide scope, and can be made highly atom economic, makes this new methodology a very appealing option for this archetypical organic reaction.

The first stereoconvergent Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction was developed to afford enantioenriched 1,1-diarylalkanes. An iron-based complex containing a chiral cyanobis(oxazoline) ligand framework was best to obtain enantioenriched 1,1-diarylalkanes from cross-coupling reactions between unactivated aryl boronic esters and benzylic chlorides. Enhanced yields were obtained when 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene was used as an additive, which is hypothesized to extend the lifetime of the iron-based catalyst. Exceptional enantioselectivities were obtained with challenging ortho-substituted benzylic chlorides. This journal is

- Lewis Base Catalysis Enables the Activation of Alcohols by means of Chloroformates as Phosgene Substitutes
-
Nucleophilic substitutions (SN) are typically promoted by acid chlorides as sacrificial reagents to improve the thermodynamic driving force and lower kinetic barriers. However, the cheapest acid chloride phosgene (COCl2) is a highly toxic gas. Against this background, phenyl chloroformate (PCF) was discovered as inherently safer phosgene substitute for the SN-type formation of C?Cl and C?Br bonds using alcohols. Thereby, application of the Lewis bases 1-formylpyrroldine (FPyr) and diethylcyclopropenone (DEC) as catalysts turned out to be pivotal to shift the chemoselectivity in favor of halo alkane generation. Primary, secondary and tertiary, benzylic, allylic and aliphatic alcohols are appropriate starting materials. A variety of functional groups are tolerated, which includes even acid labile moieties such as tert-butyl esters and acetals. Since the by-product phenol can be isolated, a recycling to PCF with inexpensive phosgene would be feasible on a technical scale. Eventually, a thorough competitive study demonstrated that PCF is indeed superior to phosgene and other substitutes.

- N -Hydroxyphthalimide/benzoquinone-catalyzed chlorination of hydrocarbon C-H bond using N -chlorosuccinimide
-
The direct chlorination of C-H bonds has received considerable attention in recent years. In this work, a metal-free protocol for hydrocarbon C-H bond chlorination with commercially available N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS) catalyzed by N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) with 2,3-dicyano-5,6-dichlorobenzoquinone (DDQ) functioning as an external radical initiator is presented. Aliphatic and benzylic substituents and also heteroaromatic ones were found to be well tolerated. Both the experiments and theoretical analysis indicate that the reaction goes through a process wherein NHPI functions as a catalyst rather than as an initiator. On the other hand, the hydrogen abstraction of the C-H bond conducted by a PINO species rather than the highly reactive N-centered radicals rationalizes the high chemoselectivity of the monochlorination obtained by this protocol as the latter is reactive towards the C(sp3)-H bonds of the monochlorides. The present results could hold promise for further development of a nitroxy-radical system for the highly selective functionalization of the aliphatic and benzylic hydrocarbon C-H.

- Synthetic method of alpha-chloroethylbenzene
-
The invention belongs to the field of organic synthesis and specifically relates to a synthetic method of alpha-chloroethylbenzene. The synthetic method comprises the following steps: carrying out a reaction between styrene, thionyl chloride and water to obtain alpha-chloroethylbenzene. During the synthetic process, hydrochloric acid or hydrogen chloride is not used. The synthetic method is easierto control than a chlorination process of ethyl benzene illumination and chlorine introduction. The preparation method of the invention is a new preparation method for the region with no hydrogen chloride resources. A catalyst used in the method is common silica gel, and the catalyst is cheaper and more easily available than a catalyst used in the preparation of alpha-chloroethylbenzene by an addition reaction between styrene and HCl. In addition, the catalyst can be repeatedly used, and the catalyst can keep high catalytic activity in the repeated use process. The recovery process of the catalyst is simple. The synthetic method has simple process, and the product is easy to separate. The yield of the product is high, and purity is high. The product purity can meet users' requirements, and is beneficial to production in the future.

- Oxygenation of styrenes catalyzed by N-doped carbon incarcerated cobalt nanoparticles
-
NCI-Co catalyzed olefin oxygenation reactions were investigated. Among the metals examined, including noble metals, the reaction proceeded specifically on Co catalysts, and nitrogen dopant was crucial for the catalytic activity. The presence of NaBH4 as a hydride source, the corresponding alcohols were obtained in high yields. The substrates bearing a reductant-sensitive functional group were made tolerant by changing the reductant and using an additive, and furthermore, the corresponding ketones were accessed by changing reaction conditions. A preliminary examination of other SOMOphiles suggested that the heterogeneous catalyst systems have the potential to be applied to more general hydrofunctionalization of olefins to form various kinds of bonds. Several mechanistic studies suggested that the reaction proceeded in a heterogeneous manner and formed a radical intermediate on cobalt nanoparticle species.

- Optically Active 1-Deuterio-1-phenylethane – Preparation and Proof of Enantiopurity
-
Enantiopure (S)-(1-2H)ethylbenzene was prepared in two steps from optically active (S)-1-phenylethanol via (R)-(1-chloroethyl)benzene (two inversions of configuration). Since the value for the specific rotation [α] is very low for the enantiomers of (1-2H)ethylbenzene, the enantiopurity of the synthetic product could not be determined with certainty by polarimetry. Therefore, bis-sulfonamides were prepared by twofold chlorosulfonation (para and ortho) of (S)-(1-2H)ethylbenzene and subsequent amidation with (R)- and (S)-α-phenethylamine. For both diastereoisomers, the (R,R,S)- and the (S,S,S)-sulfonamides, 92 % de was determined by 1H NMR spectroscopy. Therefore, it could be concluded, that (S)-(1-2H)ethylbenzene had been obtained with 92 % ee.

-
α-Diimine niobium complexes serve as catalysts for deoxygenation of benzyl ethers by silicon tetrachloride (SiCl4) to cleanly give two equivalents of the corresponding benzyl chlorides, where SiCl4 has the dual function of oxygen scavenger and chloride source with the formation of a silyl ether or silica as the only byproduct. The reaction mechanism has two successive trans-etherification steps that are mediated by the niobium catalyst, first forming one equivalent of benzyl chloride along with the corresponding silyl ether intermediate that undergoes the same reaction pathway to give the second equivalent of benzyl chloride and silyl ether.

- Highly selective halogenation of unactivated C(sp3)-H with NaX under co-catalysis of visible light and Ag@AgX
-
The direct selective halogenation of unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds into C-halogen bonds was achieved using a nano Ag/AgCl catalyst at RT under visible light or LED irradiation in the presence of an aqueous solution of NaX/HX as a halide source, in air. The halogenation of hydrocarbons provided mono-halide substituted products with 95% selectivity and yields higher than 90%, with the chlorination of toluene being 81%, far higher than the 40% conversion using dichlorine. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that the reaction is a free radical process using blue light (450-500 nm), with visible light being the most effective light source. Irradiation is proposed to cause AgCl bonding electrons to become excited and electron transfer from chloride ions induces chlorine radical formation which drives the substitution reaction. The reaction provides a potentially valuable method for the direct chlorination of saturated hydrocarbons.

- Selective C-H halogenation over hydroxylation by non-heme iron(iv)-oxo
-
Non-heme iron based halogenase enzymes promote selective halogenation of the sp3-C-H bond through iron(iv)-oxo-halide active species. During halogenation, competitive hydroxylation can be prevented completely in enzymatic systems. However, synthetic iron(iv)-oxo-halide intermediates often result in a mixture of halogenation and hydroxylation products. In this report, we have developed a new synthetic strategy by employing non-heme iron based complexes for selective sp3-C-H halogenation by overriding hydroxylation. A room temperature stable, iron(iv)-oxo complex, [Fe(2PyN2Q)(O)]2+ was directed for hydrogen atom abstraction (HAA) from aliphatic substrates and the iron(ii)-halide [FeII(2PyN2Q)(X)]+ (X, halogen) was exploited in conjunction to deliver the halogen atom to the ensuing carbon centered radical. Despite iron(iv)-oxo being an effective promoter of hydroxylation of aliphatic substrates, the perfect interplay of HAA and halogen atom transfer in this work leads to the halogenation product selectively by diverting the hydroxylation pathway. Experimental studies outline the mechanistic details of the iron(iv)-oxo mediated halogenation reactions. A kinetic isotope study between PhCH3 and C6D5CD3 showed a value of 13.5 that supports the initial HAA step as the RDS during halogenation. Successful implementation of this new strategy led to the establishment of a functional mimic of non-heme halogenase enzymes with an excellent selectivity for halogenation over hydroxylation. Detailed theoretical studies based on density functional methods reveal how the small difference in the ligand design leads to a large difference in the electronic structure of the [Fe(2PyN2Q)(O)]2+ species. Both experimental and computational studies suggest that the halide rebound process of the cage escaped radical with iron(iii)-halide is energetically favorable compared to iron(iii)-hydroxide and it brings in selective formation of halogenation products over hydroxylation.

- Manganese-salen catalyzed oxidative benzylic chlorination

Abstract: Metalloporphyrins are well-known to serve as the model for mimicking reactivities exhibited by cytochrome P450 hydroxylase. Recent developments on selective C–H halogenation using Mn-porphyrins provided the way for understanding the reactivity as well as mechanism of different halogenase enzymes. In this report, we demonstrated a method for benzylic C–H chlorination using easily prepared Mn(salen) complex as the catalyst, which shows a complementary reactivity of Mn-porphyrins. Here, NaOCl has been used as a chlorinating source as well as the oxidant. Efforts towards understanding the mechanism suggested the formation of the high-valent Mn(V)=O species which is believed to be the key intermediate to conduct this transformation. Graphical abstract: SYNOPSIS Mn(salen)-catalyzed selective benzylic chlorination protocol has been developed using aqueous NaOCl solution. Reactions proceeded efficiently at room temperature and displayed good functional group tolerance. The mechanistic investigation demonstrated that Mn (V) = O species is likely to be the key intermediate which is responsible to generate benzylic radical. EPR and ESI-MS studies confirmed the in situ formation of Mn(IV)-species.[Figure not available: see fulltext.].

A combined acid HCl/DMPU-acetic acid catalytic system was used in the hydrochlorination of a wide range of unactivated alkenes. This hydrochlorination strategy is remarkably greener than previous reported methods in terms of high atom efficiency, no toxic waste generated and metal-free process. The higher efficiency, compared with other commercially available HCl reagents, was augmented by the good regioselectivity and functionality tolerance found. A stepwise mechanism for this hydrochlorination process was proposed based on kinetic studies.

Particulary interesting is the observation that the respective alkyl bromides and iodides can be generated from alcohols when either LiBr or LiI are present in the reaction mixtures.

- A General Catalytic Method for Highly Cost- and Atom-Efficient Nucleophilic Substitutions
-
A general formamide-catalyzed protocol for the efficient transformation of alcohols into alkyl chlorides, which is promoted by substoichiometric amounts (down to 34 mol %) of inexpensive trichlorotriazine (TCT), is introduced. This is the first example of a TCT-mediated dihydroxychlorination of an OH-containing substrate (e.g., alcohols and carboxylic acids) in which all three chlorine atoms of TCT are transferred to the starting material. The consequently enhanced atom economy facilitates a significantly improved waste balance (E-factors down to 4), cost efficiency, and scalability (>50 g). Furthermore, the current procedure is distinguished by high levels of functional-group compatibility and stereoselectivity, as only weakly acidic cyanuric acid is released as exclusive byproduct. Finally, a one-pot protocol for the preparation of amines, azides, ethers, and sulfides enabled the synthesis of the drug rivastigmine with twofold SN2 inversion, which demonstrates the high practical value of the presented method.

- Systematic Evaluation of Sulfoxides as Catalysts in Nucleophilic Substitutions of Alcohols
-
Herein, a method for the nucleophilic substitution (SN) of benzyl alcohols yielding chloro alkanes is introduced that relies on aromatic sulfoxides as Lewis base catalysts (down to 1.5 mol-%) and benzoyl chloride (BzCl) as reagent. A systematic screening of various sulfoxides and other sulfinyl containing Lewis bases afforded (2-methoxyphenyl)methyl sulfoxide as optimal catalyst. In contrast to reported formamide catalysts, sulfoxides also enable the application of plain acetyl chloride (AcCl) as reagent. In addition, it was demonstrated that weakly electrophilic carboxylic acid chlorides like BzCl promote Pummerer rearrangement of sulfoxides already at room temperature. This side-reaction also provided the explanation, why sulfoxide catalyzed SN-reactions of alcohols do not allow the effective production of aliphatic and electron deficient chloro alkanes. Comparison experiments provided further insight into the reaction mechanism.

- Aliphatic C-H Bond Halogenation by Iron(II)-α-Keto Acid Complexes and O2: Functional Mimicking of Nonheme Iron Halogenases
-
α-Ketoglutarate-dependent nonheme halogenases catalyze the halogenation of aliphatic C-H bonds in the biosynthesis pathway of many natural products. An iron(IV)-oxo-halo species has been established as the active oxidant in the halogenation reactions. With an objective to emulate the function of the nonheme halogenases, two iron(II)-α-keto acid complexes, [(phdpa)Fe(BF)Cl] (1) and [(1,4-tpbd)Fe2(BF)2Cl2] (2) (where phdpa = N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)aniline, 1,4-tpbd = N,N,N′,N'-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)benzene-1,4-diamine, and BF = benzoylformate), have been prepared. The iron complexes are capable of carrying out the oxidative halogenation of aliphatic C-H bonds using O2 as the terminal oxidant. Although the complexes are not selective toward C-H bond halogenation, they are the only examples of nonheme iron(II)-α-keto acid complexes mimicking the activity of nonheme halogenases. The dinuclear complex (2) exhibits enhanced reactivity toward C-H bond halogenation/hydroxylation.

Acetophenone is the most effective catalyst for functionalization of unactivated C–H groups while benzophenone provides better yields for benzylic C–H functionalization. Activation of both acetophenone and benzophenone can be achieved by irradiation with a household compact fluorescent lamp. This light-dependent reaction provides a better control of the reaction as compared to the traditional chlorination methods that proceed through a free radical chain propagation mechanism.

- Visible Light-Induced Oxidative Chlorination of Alkyl sp3 C-H Bonds with NaCl/Oxone at Room Temperature
-
A visible light-induced monochlorination of cyclohexane with sodium chloride (5:1) has been successfully accomplished to afford chlorocyclohexane in excellent yield by using Oxone as the oxidant in H2O/CF3CH2OH at room temperature. Other secondary and primary alkyl sp3 C-H bonds of cycloalkanes and functional branch/linear alkanes can also be chlorinated, respectively, under similar conditions. The selection of a suitable organic solvent is crucial in these efficient radical chlorinations of alkanes in two-phase solutions. It is studied further by the achievement of high chemoselectivity in the chlorination of the benzyl sp3 C-H bond or the aryl sp2 C-H bond of toluene.

- Mild Aliphatic and Benzylic Hydrocarbon C-H Bond Chlorination Using Trichloroisocyanuric Acid
-
We present the controlled monochlorination of aliphatic and benzylic hydrocarbons with only 1 equiv of substrate at 25-30 °C using N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) as radical initiator and commercially available trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) as the chlorine source. Catalytic amounts of CBr4 reduced the reaction times considerably due to the formation of chain-carrying ·CBr3 radicals. Benzylic C-H chlorination affords moderate to good yields for arenes carrying electron-withdrawing (50-85%) or weakly electron-donating groups (31-73%); cyclic aliphatic substrates provide low yields (24-38%). The products could be synthesized on a gram scale followed by simple purification via distillation. We report the first direct side-chain chlorination of 3-methylbenzoate affording methyl 3-(chloromethyl)benzoate, which is an important building block for the synthesis of vasodilator taprostene.

- Formamides as Lewis Base Catalysts in SNReactions—Efficient Transformation of Alcohols into Chlorides, Amines, and Ethers
-
A simple formamide catalyst facilitates the efficient transformation of alcohols into alkyl chlorides with benzoyl chloride as the sole reagent. These nucleophilic substitutions proceed through iminium-activated alcohols as intermediates. The novel method, which can be even performed under solvent-free conditions, is distinguished by an excellent functional group tolerance, scalability (>100 g) and waste-balance (E-factor down to 2). Chiral substrates are converted with excellent levels of stereochemical inversion (99 %→≥95 % ee). In a practical one-pot procedure, the primary formed chlorides can be further transformed into amines, azides, ethers, sulfides, and nitriles. The value of the method was demonstrated in straightforward syntheses of the drugs rac-Clopidogrel and S-Fendiline.

- Iron catalyzed halogenation of benzylic aldehydes and ketones
-
A simple and efficient iron-catalyzed method for chlorination of aromatic carbonyl compounds is reported. By using 4-10 mol% Fe(iii) oxo acetate catalyst, prepared by solid state atmospheric oxidation of Fe(ii) acetate, in combination with triethylsilane and chlorotrimethylsilane, hydrosilylation of benzylic carbonyl compounds with subsequent chlorination is achieved within a few hours at room temperature. This new method is mild and rapid compared to the conventional two step approach involving reduction and chlorination reactions in separate stages. Development of synthetic methodology is also supplemented here by kinetic investigation of the reaction mechanism, which supports the tentative mechanisms suggested previously for similar reactions.

- A Visible-Light-Induced α-H Chlorination of Alkylarenes with Inorganic Chloride under NanoAg@AgCl
-
An efficient, photocatalytic chlorination of alkylarene α-H groups using NaCl/HCl as a chlorine source has been developed, which involves a radical mechanism under visible-light (including sunlight) conditions. A chlorine radical is proposed to be formed by an electron transfer from chloride ion to O2 in air through the bandgap hole of the semiconductor AgCl. The chlorination protocol is characterized by its use of natural sunlight or other visible light, mild conditions, cheap source of chlorine, green solvent, and high selectivity. The yield of benzylchloride is 95 % with a toluene conversion as high as 40 %, which rivals traditional chlorination methods.

- Rasta resin-triphenylphosphine oxides and their use as recyclable heterogeneous reagent precursors in halogenation reactions
-
Heterogeneous polymer-supported triphenylphosphine oxides based on the rasta resin architecture have been synthesized, and applied as reagent precursors in a wide range of halogenation reactions. The rasta resin-triphenylphosphine oxides were reacted with either oxalyl chloride or oxalyl bromide to form the corresponding halophosphonium salts, and these in turn were reacted with alcohols, aldehydes, aziridines and epoxides to form halogenated products in high yields after simple purification. The polymersupported triphenylphosphine oxides formed as a byproduct during these reactions could be recovered and reused numerous times with no appreciable decrease in reactivity.

- Chlorination of benzylic and allylic alcohols with trimethylsilyl chloride enhanced by natural sodium montmorillonite
-
A new and practical method for the efficient chlorination of tertiary, secondary, and primary benzylic and allylic alcohols is described. The method is characterized by the formation of hydrogen chloride from trimethylsilyl chloride and trace water, the formation of a carbenium ion through the protonation of an alcohol and subsequent dehydration, and the chlorination of the carbenium ion. During the process, sodium ion-exchanged montmorillonite plays a crucial role in capturing the generated hydrogen chloride, stabilizing the carbenium intermediate as well as promoting the chlorination.

- DMSO-catalyzed chlorination of alcohols using N-phenylbenzimidoyl chloride
-
N-phenylbenzimidoyl chloride has been demonstrated as an efficient chlorination reagent catalyzed by dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in conversion of alcohols to corresponding chlorides. The reaction conditions were mild, and most of the substrates gave satisfactory yields. The configuration inversion of the chlorination was proved using optically active phenyl alcohols. The amount of DMSO can be as low as 0.001 eq without reducing the efficiency of the chlorination. A plausible mechanism for the reaction was proposed and proved by experiments. The reaction is stereoselective and potentially chemoselective among primary benzyl alcohols, secondary benzyl alcohols, and unactivated aliphatic alcohols.

- Mechanism of halogen exchange in ATRP
-
Detailed mechanistic studies reveal that halogen exchange (HE) in ATRP can occur not only by a radical pathway (atom transfer) but also by an ionic pathway (SN2 reaction) because Cu(I)(L)X and Cu (II)(L)X2 complexes contain weakly associated halide anion that can participate in the SN2 reaction with alkyl halide (ATRP initiator). Both pathways were kinetically studied, and their contributions to the HE process were quantitatively evaluated for seven alkyl halides and three Cu(I)(L)Cl complexes. Radical pathway dominates the HE process for 3° and 2° alkyl bromides with more active complexes such as Cu (I)(TPMA)Cl. Interestingly, ionic pathway dominates for 1° alkyl bromides and less active ATRP catalysts. These studies also revealed that degree of association of alkyl halide anion depends on the structure of copper complexes. In addition, radical pathway is accompanied by the reverse reactions such as deactivation of radicals to alkyl bromides and also activation of alkyl chlorides, reducing the efficiency of halogen exchange.

- Hydrocarbon chlorination promoted by manganese and iron complexes with methylated derivatives of bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,2-ethanediamine
-
Non-heme iron halogenases, such as SyrB2 and CytC3, catalyze the regioselective chlorination and bromination of aliphatic C-H bonds. Reported here is the hydrocarbon chlorination promoted by manganese and iron complexes with methylated derivatives of bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,2-ethanediamine (bispicen). The reactions between these coordination compounds and meta-chloroperbenzoic acid generate oxidants capable of oxidizing weak C-H bonds to C-Cl bonds. This chemistry is regioselective, with a strong preference for activating C-H bonds on secondary carbons over weaker C-H bonds on tertiary carbons. The reactivity is consistent with the methyl groups on the ligands preventing more sterically encumbered substrates from accessing the reactive portions of a [MIV(LMen)(O)Cl2] oxidant. The iron compounds promote more hydrocarbon chlorination than their manganese analogs.

- Treatment of alcohols with tosyl chloride does not always lead to the formation of tosylates

Treatment of substituted benzyl alcohols with tosyl chloride resulted in the formation of the corresponding chlorides, not the usual tosylates. A series of experiments demonstrated that it was possible to predict whether chlorination or tosylation would occur for substituted benzyl alcohols and pyridine methanols. Treatment of electron withdrawing group-substituted benzyl alcohols with tosyl chloride gave the corresponding chlorides in moderate yields under mild conditions, which provided a simple way to directly prepare chlorides from alcohols.

- Catalytic phosphorus(V)-mediated nucleophilic substitution reactions: Development of a catalytic appel reaction
-
Catalytic phosphorus(V)-mediated chlorination and bromination reactions of alcohols have been developed. The new reactions constitute a catalytic version of the classical Appel halogenation reaction. In these new reactions oxalyl chloride is used as a consumable stoichiometric reagent to generate the halophosphonium salts responsible for halogenation from catalytic phosphine oxides. Thus, phosphine oxides have been transformed from stoichiometric waste products into catalysts and a new concept for catalytic phosphorus-based activation and nucleophilic substitution of alcohols has been validated. The present study has focused on a full exploration of the scope and limitations of phosphine oxide catalyzed chlorination reactions as well as the development of the analogous bromination reactions. Further mechanistic studies, including density functional theory calculations on proposed intermediates of the catalytic cycle, are consistent with a catalytic cycle involving halo- and alkoxyphosphonium salts as intermediates.
