Reaction of 2-bromo-1,3-diethyl-1,3,2-benzodiazaborole (1) with equimolar amounts of thienyl lithium or 2,2-dithienyl lithium led to the generation of benzodiazaboroles 2 and 3 which are functionalized at the boron atom by a 2-thienyl or a 5-(2,2-dithienyl) unit. Similarly 2-bromo-1,3-diethyl-1,3,2-naphthodiazaborole (4) and thienyl lithium or 2,2-dithienyl lithium afforded the naphthoborolyl-substituted thiophene 5 or dithiophene 6. Treatment of 2,5-bis(dibromoboryl)-thiophene 7 with 2 eq. of tBuN=CH-CH=NtBu in n-hexane followed by sodium amalgam reduction of the obtained bis(diazaborolium) salt 8 gave the 2,5-bis(diazaborolyl)thiophene 9. The 2,5-bis(diazaborolidinyl)-thiophene 10 resulted from the cyclocondensation of 7 with 2 eq. of N,N-di-tert-butylethylenediamine in the presence of NEt3. Analogously, cyclocondensation of 7 with N,N-diethylphenylenediamine gave the bis(benzodiazaborolyl) functionalized thiophene 11. The novel compounds were characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopy (1H-, 11B-, 13C-NMR, MS and UV-VIS). The molecular structure of 3 was elucidated by X-ray diffraction. Cyclovoltammograms show an irreversible oxidation wave at 298-598 vs. Fc/Fc+. The borolylated thiophenes and dithienyls show intense blue luminescence with Stokes shifts of 30-107 nm.

Self-assembly of 4,4'-linked dipyrromethanes from 2-(vinyloxy)ethyl isothiocyanate, tertiary propargylamines, and alkylating agents has been discovered. The plausible reaction mechanism, the major stages of which have been confirmed experimentally, includes (1) the lithiation of propargylamine (with -BuLi); (2) the formation of lithium -[2-(vinyloxy)ethyl]but-2-ynimidothioate (product of the addition of monolithiated propargylamine to isothiocyanate); (3) isomerization of the latter in the corresponding allenylimidothioate (under the action of the -BuOK/-BuOH system); (4) low-temperature (<15 °C) intramolecular cyclization of the latter into potassium -(5-amino-2-thienyl)--[2-(vinyloxy)ethyl]amide; (5) the base-induced cleavage of the C-O bond of the -[2-(vinyloxy)ethyl] group and removal of vinyloxide-anion leading to acetaldehyde; (6) interaction of acetaldehyde with two molecules of -(5-amino-2-thienyl)--[2-(vinyloxy)ethyl]amide-anion resulting in dithienomethane N-anionic intermediate; (7) recyclization of the latter into dipyrromethane S-anionic intermediate. Final S-alkylation affords synthetically challenging 4,4'-dipyrromethanes in a yield of 22-51%.

As a promising cathode material for high-performance lithium-ion batteries, olivine LiFeMnPO (0 < x < 1, LFMP) combines the high safety of LiFePO and the high energy density of LiMnPO. During the charge-discharge process, poor interface stability of active materials leads to capacity decay, which prevents its commercial application. Here, to stabilize the interface, a new electrolyte additive potassium 2-thienyl tri-fluoroborate (2-TFBP) is developed to boost the performance of LiFeMnPO at 4.

The 2-aryl-3,4,5,6-tetraphenyl-1,2-azaborinines 1-EMe and 2-EMe (E=Si, Sn; aryl=Ph (1), Mes (=2,4,6-trimethylphenyl, 2)) were synthesized by ring-expansion of borole precursors with N EMe -derived nitrenes. Desilylative hydrolysis of 1- and 2-SiMe yielded the corresponding N-protonated azaborinines, which were deprotonated with nBuLi or MN(SiMe ) (M=Na, K) to the corresponding group 1 salts, 1-M and 2-M. While the lithium salts crystallized as monomeric Lewis base adducts, the potassium salts formed coordination polymers or oligomers via intramolecular K⋅⋅⋅aryl π interactions.

Recently, increased attention has been focused on the synthesis of soluble and processable conducting polymers due to interest in their potential application. For this purpose a new type electroactive 2,5-di(2-thienyl)pyrrole derivative was synthesized and its novel solution-processable and fluorescent polymer, namely poly(N-(2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)-3,4,5-tris(dodecyloxy)benzamide) (P(TPDOB)), was electrochemically synthesized. Characterization of the monomer and the polymer was performed by (1)H-NMR, (13)C-NMR, cyclic voltammetry, and UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy.

Deproto-metallation of N-arylated pyrroles and indoles using a mixed lithium-zinc base and regioselectivity-computed CH acidity relationship.

The synthesis of N-arylated pyrroles and indoles is documented, as well as their functionalization by deprotonative metallation using the base in situ prepared from LiTMP and ZnCl2·TMEDA (1/3 equiv). With N-phenylpyrrole and -indole, the reactions were carried out in hexane containing TMEDA which regioselectively afforded the 2-iodo derivatives after subsequent iodolysis. With pyrroles and indoles bearing N-substituents such as 2-thienyl, 3-pyridyl, 4-methoxyphenyl and 4-bromophenyl, the reactions all took place on the substituent, at the position either adjacent to the heteroatom (S, N) or ortho to the heteroatom-containing substituent (OMe, Br).
