An AIE active fluorescence sensor for measuring Fe in aqueous media and an iron deficiency anemia drug.

In this study, a new tetraphenylethene derivative bearing triazole and pyridine moieties (TPE-TAP) was synthesized using click chemistry. The fluorescence sensing properties of TPE-TAP were investigated in almost 100% aqueous media. For this purpose, first of all, structural characterization of the newly synthesized compound TPE-TAP was performed by NMR and HRMS analyses.

Four-Winged Propeller-Shaped Indole-Modified and Indole-Substituted Tetraphenylethylenes: Greenish-Blue Emitters with Aggregation-Induced Emission Features for Conventional Organic Light-Emitting Diodes.

Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) is an extraordinary photochemical phenomenon described by Tang's group in 2001, where the aggregation of some organic molecules enhances their light emission by limiting intramolecular activity in the aggregate state. This phenomenon offers new opportunities for researchers due to its potential applications in optoelectronics, energy, and biophysics. Tetraphenylethylenes (TPEs) are reliable AIE luminogens with a wide range of successful applications in material chemistry.

Solvent-controlled regioselective C(5)-H/N(1)-H bond alkylations of indolines and C(6)-H bond alkylations of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines with -quinone methides.

Solvent-promoted and -controlled regioselective bond alkylation reactions of -quinone methides (-QMs) with -H free-indoline and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (THQ) under metal-free conditions have been developed. In the presence of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) as the solvent, 1,6-addition alkylation reactions of -QMs with NH-free indolines and THQs efficiently gave C5-alkylated indolines and C6-alkylated THQs. Using catalytic amounts of HFIP in DCM, the reaction of indolines and -QMs resulted in the alkylation of indolines at the N1-position.

Site-selective C5-H and -H alkylation of unprotected 8-aminoquinolines.

8-Aminoquinolines are the building blocks of many pharmaceutical compounds, which has motivated the scientific community to develop new ways to derivatize these compounds. In this work, we performed a site-selective C5-H and -H alkylation of 8-aminoquinolines using -quinone methides under extremely mild conditions. C5-H alkylation was performed using protecting group-free 8-aminoquinolines and in metal-free conditions.

Magnetically recoverable nickel-palladium alloy nanocatalysts for direct C-H arylation reactions.

Novel magnetically recoverable nanocatalyst comprising nickel-palladium (NiPd) alloy nanoparticles (NPs) supported on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) modified with cobalt ferrite (CoFeO) NPs was fabricated for the direct C-H arylation of imidazopyridine, imidazole, indolizine and furan with aryl halides. To prepare the presented catalyst, rGO nanosheets were first modified with as-synthesized CoFeO NPs and then the obtained CoFeO-rGO nanocomposites served as a support material for the synthesis of bimetallic NiPd alloy NPs at various compositions. The obtained CoFeO-rGO/NiPd nanocatalysts were characterized by many advanced analytical techniques including TEM, STEM-EDS, XRD, XPS, and ICP-MS.

Light-controlled self-assembly of a dithienylethene bolaamphiphile in water.

The self-assembly of bolaamphiphiles comprised of a central photochromic dithienylethene (DTE) chromophore was investigated in aqueous media. Irradiation at 254 nm induced a conversion from the open to closed states of the DTE chromophores. Whereas, in water, irradiation produced a photostationary state of 20 : 80 (open/closed), in methanol the ratio improved to 10 : 90 (open/closed).

Black phosphorus as a metal-free, visible-light-active heterogeneous photoredox catalyst for the direct C-H arylation of heteroarenes.

Black phosphorus (BP) is for the first time employed as a metal-free, heterogeneous photoredox catalyst for the direct C-H arylation of heteroarenes with aryl diazonium salts. The arylated heteroarenes are obtained in moderate to good yields under visible-light illumination, and the protocol is shown to be applicable for the scale-up synthesis.

Protocols for the Syntheses of 2,2'-Bis(indolyl)arylmethanes, 2-Benzylated Indoles, and 5,7-Dihydroindolo[2,3-]carbazoles.

The electrophilic substitution reaction of 4,7-dihydroindole with aryl-aldehydes as an electrophilic partner followed by an oxidation step to deliver 2,2'-bis(indolyl)arylmethanes was studied for the first time. The reaction afforded regioselectivity at the 2,2'-positions of indole in an operationally simple and inexpensive procedure with a variety of substrates. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first set of examples of 2,2'-bis(indolyl)arylmethanes obtained in a substituent-free manner.

Access to C5-Alkylated Indolines/Indoles via Michael-Type Friedel-Crafts Alkylation Using Aryl-Nitroolefins.

A straightforward synthetic route toward C5-alkylated indolines/indoles has been developed. The strategy is composed of Zn(OTf)-catalyzed Friedel-Crafts alkylation of N-benzylindolines with nitroolefins, and a series of diverse indolines was first obtained in up to 99% yield. This reaction provides a direct and practical route to a variety of the C5-alkylated indolines which were also utilized for accessing corresponding indoles.
