Energy-Transfer Enabled 1,4-Aryl Migration.

Functional group translocation is undoubtedly a pivotal synthetic transformation in organic chemistry. Numerous types of reactions involving radical 1,2-aryl or 1,4-aryl migration via electron transfer mechanism have been extensively investigated. Nevertheless, energy-transfer enabled 1,4-arylation remains unknown.

Di-π-ethane Rearrangement of Cyano Groups via Energy-Transfer Catalysis.

Molecular rearrangement occupies a pivotal position among fundamental transformations in synthetic chemistry. Radical translocation has emerged as a prevalent synthetic tool, efficiently facilitating the migration of diverse functional groups. In contrast, the development of di-π-methane rearrangement remains limited, particularly in terms of the translocation of cyano functional groups.
