Electrooxidation Enables Highly Regioselective Dearomative Annulation of Indole and Benzofuran Derivatives
ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-13829-4 OPEN Electrooxidation enables highly regioselective dearomative annulation of indole and benzofuran derivatives Kun Liu1, Wenxu Song1, Yuqi Deng1, Huiyue Yang1, Chunlan Song1, Takfaoui Abdelilah1, Shengchun Wang 1, Hengjiang Cong 1, Shan Tang1 & Aiwen Lei1* 1234567890():,; The dearomatization of arenes represents a powerful synthetic methodology to provide three-dimensional chemicals of high added value. Here we report a general and practical protocol for regioselective dearomative annulation of indole and benzofuran derivatives in an electrochemical way. Under undivided electrolytic conditions, a series of highly functio- nalized five to eight-membered heterocycle-2,3-fused indolines and dihydrobenzofurans, which are typically unattainable under thermal conditions, can be successfully accessed in high yield with excellent regio- and stereo-selectivity. This transformation can also tolerate a wide range of functional groups and achieve good efficiency in large-scale synthesis under oxidant-free conditions. In addition, cyclic voltammetry, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and kinetic studies indicate that the dehydrogenative dearomatization annulations arise from the anodic oxidation of indole into indole radical cation, and this process is the rate- determining step. 1 College of Chemistry and Molecular Sciences, Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS), Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072, P.

Poly( Ethylene-Co-Methyl Acrylate)-Solvent- Cosolvent Phase Behaviour at High Pressures
Poly( ethylene-co-methyl acrylate)-solvent- cosolvent phase behaviour at high pressures Melchior A. Meilchen, Bruce M. Hasch, Sang-Ho Lee and Mark A. McHugh* Department of Chemical Engineering, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD 21278, USA (Received 5 April 7991; accepted 75 July 1997 ) Cloud-point data to 160°C and 2000 bar are presented showing the effect of cosolvents on the phase behaviour of poly(ethylene-co-methyl acrylate) (EMA) (64 mo1%/36 mol%) with propane and chlorodifluoromethane (F22). Ethanol shifts the EMA-propane cloud-point curves to lower temperatures and pressures, but above _ 10 wt% ethanol, the copolymer becomes insoluble. Up to 40 wt% acetone monotonically shifts the EMA-propane cloud-point curves to lower temperatures and pressures. Acetone and ethanol both shift the cloud-point curves of EMA-F22 mixtures in the same monotonic manner for cosolvent concentrations of up to 40 wt%.

Reversible Deactivation Radical Polymerization: State-Of-The-Art in 2017
Chapter 1 Reversible Deactivation Radical Polymerization: State-of-the-Art in 2017 Sivaprakash Shanmugam and Krzysztof Matyjaszewski* Center for Macromolecular Engineering, Department of Chemistry, Carnegie Mellon University, 4400 Fifth Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15213, United States *E-mail: [email protected]. This chapter highlights the current advancements in reversible-deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) with a specifc focus on atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The chapter begins with highlighting the termination pathways for acrylates radicals that were recently explored via RDRP techniques. This led to a better understanding of the catalytic radical termination (CRT) in ATRP for acrylate radicals. The designed new ligands for ATRP also enabled the suppression of CRT and increased chain end functionality. In addition, further mechanistic understandings of SARA-ATRP with Cu0 activation and comproportionation were studied using model reactions with different ligands and alkyl halide initiators. Another focus of RDRP in recent years has been on systems that are regulated by external stimuli such as light, Downloaded via CARNEGIE MELLON UNIV on August 17, 2020 at 15:07:44 (UTC). electricity, mechanical forces and chemical redox reactions.

Annulation of Propargylic Dithioacetals Leading to Furan-Containing Oligoaryls*
Pure Appl. Chem., Vol. 77, No. 7, pp. 1213–1219, 2005. DOI: 10.1351/pac200577071213 © 2005 IUPAC Annulation of propargylic dithioacetals leading to furan-containing oligoaryls* Tien-Yau Luh Department of Chemistry, National Taiwan University, Taipei 106, Taiwan Abstract: Reaction of propargylic dithioacetals with BuLi followed by treatment with di- aldehydes yields the corresponding allenyl carbinols which can be cyclized to give the 2,3,5-trisubstituted furans. The use of this strategy for the synthesis of a range of alternating benzene-furan oligoaryls is described. Keywords: annulation; propargylic dithioacetals; oligoaryls; furans; optoelectronic applica- tions; cyclophanes; convergent synthesis. INTRODUCTION Direct conversion of carbon–sulfur bonds in dithioacetal functionality into the corresponding car- bon–carbon bonds has been extensively studied in recent years [1]. Representative examples are shown in Scheme 1. The substituents R1 and/or R2 can be aryl, alkenyl alkynyl, or, more recently, alkyl groups. Since carbon and sulfur atoms have similar electronegativities, the polarity of the carbon–sulfur bond can vary depending on the nature of the substrates and reaction conditions. In general, the carbon end of a carbon–sulfur bond can serve as a carbocationic equivalent to reaction with a nucleophile. Alternatively, the nucleophile can attack at the sulfur end of a carbon–sulfur bond to generate the car- banion, which can then react with an electrophile leading to the corresponding substitution product. In this case, the carbanionic moiety must be stabilized by a neighboring stabilizing substituent(s). Ikehira and Krief have shown that benzylic dithiolanes react with butyllithium followed by protonolysis to give the corresponding mono-desulfurized products (eq. -

S. Yadav, in honor of his distinguished career in synthetic organic chemistry, and of his 65th birthday DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3998/ark.5550190.p009.282 Abstract In this account our own research results on the methods of annulation and hetero-annulation across alkynes are summarized, especially emphasizing the annulation and hetero-annulation through C-H and X-Y activation. A wide range of quinolines, isoquinolines, indoles, benzofurans, indenes, and benzothiophenes can be synthesized via mono-annulation of ortho-alkynylaryl derivatives using transition metal catalysts and/or iodine reagents. Benzocarbazoles, benzonaphthothiophenes, and indenochromenes can be synthesized via cascade annulation of 1,2-dialkynyl substituted benzene derivatives. Palladium-catalyzed crossover annulation of compounds bearing two vicinal CC triple bonds attached to an unsaturated ring gives dibenzopentalenes through C-H activation, and intramolecular cross annulation of bis- biarylalkynes affords 9,9-bifluorenylidenes via dual C-H activation.

Herein, we report a photocontrolled, additive-free iniferter polymerization that operates in completely open vials utilizing the “polymerizing through oxygen” mechanism. Trithiocarbonates are directly activated with high intensity 450 nm light to produce narrowly dispersed (Mw/Mn = 1.1–1.6) polyacrylates and poly- acrylamides. Living behavior is demonstrated through chain extension, block copolymer synthesis, and control over molecular weight through varying the monomer : iniferter ratio.

Adhesion to Plastic
Adhesion to Plastic Marcus Hutchins Scientist I TS&D Industrial Coatings-Radcure Cytec Smyrna, GA USA Abstract A plastic can be described as a mixture of polymer or polymers, plasticizers, fillers, pigments, and additives which under temperature and pressure can be molded into various items1. Plastic materials have become a staple of our everyday life in applications ranging from food packaging to home construction. In automotive applications alone, over four billion pounds2 of plastic were used in cars and light trucks and that figure is expected to grow 30 percent by 2011. The demand for plastic is growing at a rate faster than metal because of advantages such as reduced weight, reduced material cost, corrosion resistance and increased durability over metal. As the demand for plastic increases, the need to effectively and efficiently coat plastic parts will also increase. For most plastics, that will mean starting with a good primer coating. This paper will present three new ultraviolet (UV) curable resins that may be used to formulate primers for a variety of plastic substrates. ©RadTech e|5 2006 Technical Proceedings Introduction Once a plastic part is formed, a coating is usually applied for decorative or protective purposes. Typically, that starts with a primer coating. There are many factors that positively affect the adhesion of the primer to the substrate, and several will be discussed here. One of the more important properties in achieving adhesion is the ability of the coating to wet the substrate3. In order for wetting to occur, the surface tension of the coating must be less than the surface energy of the substrate. -
