Copper-catalyzed free-radical C-H arylation of pyrroles.

A room temperature copper-catalyzed radical arylation of pyrroles with anilines, through in situ generated aryl diazonium salts, has been developed under neutral conditions. Experimental and theoretical studies explain the crucial role of CaCO3 and the high regioselectivity observed.

C-H arylation of benzoquinone in water through aniline activation: synergistic effect of graphite-supported copper oxide nanoparticles.

A homemade CuONPs/Gr catalyst was found to be efficient for the C-H arylation of benzoquinone. This methodology represents the first example of a Meerwein arylation catalyzed by a heterogeneous catalyst.

Ethyl 2-[N-(tert-butyl-sulfin-yl)carbamo-yl]benzoate.

The title compound, C(14)H(19)NO(4)S, was obtained in quanti-tative yield by Lewis acid-catalysed alcoholysis of a phtalimide precursor. An intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs. In the crystal, centrosymmetric dimers are formed by pairs of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the sulfinyl O atoms and the carbamoyl N-H group of a neighboring mol-ecule.
