2-Substituted indoles (5a,b and 7) and fused indoles (9a-c, 11a,b, and 12) have been obtained by the S(RN)1 mechanism from photostimulated reactions of o-iodoaniline (1) and 1-halo-2-naphthalen-2-ylamines (3a,b) with enolate ions of acyclic (acetophenone (6), 2- (4a) and 4-acetylpyridine (4b)) and cyclic ketones (1- (8a) and 2-indanone (10a), 1- (8b) and 2-tetralone (10b) and 1-benzosuberone (8c)) in DMSO and liquid ammonia as solvents. The carbanions derived from 4a,b, 8a, and 10b are novel nucleophiles that form new C-C bonds by the S(RN)1 mechanism.

Transition-Metal Free Amination and Hydrodefluorination of Aryl Fluorides Promoted by Solvated Electrons.

Article Synopsis
- - The study presents a new method for forming C-N bonds without the use of transition-metal catalysts, which can be costly and toxic.
- - The process utilizes solvated electrons generated from granulated lithium and sonication to activate aryl halides, allowing for efficient reactions at near ambient conditions.
- - This innovative approach not only expands the types of aryl compounds that can be used in these reactions, including aryl fluorides, but also examines the underlying mechanisms of the process, revealing a competitive path for reductive dehalogenation.
-Substitution of Perylene Bisimides with Bidentate Nucleophiles: The Case of Aryloxide Anions.

In this study, we delve into the regioselectivity of nucleophilic reactions involving brominated perylene bisimides (PBIs) and various bidentate aryloxide anions, previously associated with an S1 mechanism. We present herein a new perspective, suggesting that a single-electron-transfer aromatic nucleophilic substitution (SeT-SAr) mechanism is a more plausible scenario. Our study reveals the favorable impact of photostimulation on reaction yields, making our method a convenient approach for accessing arylated PBIs.

Distinct among the enediyne antitumor antibiotics, the dynemicin subgroup is comprised of two discrete halves, an enediyne and an anthraquinone, but each is ultimately derived from the same linear β-hydroxyhexaene precursor. The linkage of these two halves by an aryl C-N bond is examined here using a variety of experimental approaches. We demonstrate that this heterodimerization is specific for anthracenyl iodide as the corresponding bromo- and amino-substituted anthracenes do not support dynemicin biosynthesis.

A one-step method for the conversion of nitroarenes into phenols under operationally simple, transition-metal-free conditions is described. This denitrative functionalization protocol provides a concise and economical alternative to conventional three-step synthetic sequences. Experimental and computational studies suggest that nitroarenes may be substituted by an electron-catalysed radical-nucleophilic substitution (S 1) chain mechanism.

We have proven that pyridine-boryl complexes can be used as superelectron donors to promote the coupling of thiols and aromatic halides through a S1 mechanism. The reaction is efficient for a broad substrate scope, tolerating heterocycles including pyridines, enolizable or reducible functional groups. The method has been applied to intermediates in drug synthesis as well as interesting functionalized polythioethers through a controlled and consecutive intramolecular electron transfer process.
