When RuH2(CO)(PPh3)3 was reacted with 2,2-dimethyl-1-(2-p-tolylphenyl)propan-1-one (2), the ruthenium-aryloxy complex 3 was obtained in 76% yield. The structure of this complex was determined from 1H and 31P NMR and X-ray data. Complex 3 showed the catalytic activity for the coupling of 2 with the phenylboronate 4. The 1H and 31P NMR studies of the reaction of Ru(CO)(PPh3)3 with o-aryloxy pivalophenone revealed that the C-H bond cleavage is a kinetically favorable process but the C-O bond cleavage is a thermodynamic one. The reaction of 2'-methoxyacetophenone with vinylsilane and organoboronate resulted in chemoselective C-C bond formation.

Article Synopsis
  • Developing polymer materials that can revert to monomers on demand is essential for creating a sustainable society.
  • Traditional recycling methods are limited to polymers with weaker bonds, but integrating directing groups can enhance polymer resilience and recyclability.
  • The study demonstrates that phenylene ether-based polymers, designed for selective disassembly with nickel catalysts, remain stable in harsh conditions while being capable of decomposing into repolymerizable molecules.

Super engineering plastics such as polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and polyetherethersulfone (PEES) exhibit thermal stability, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength. Such characteristics are attributed to their robust chemical structures composed of stable aryl ethers. These features make chemical recycling difficult.

In this paper, we present a novel and sustainable approach using choline chloride:triethanolamine as a green, efficient and reusable deep eutectic solvent (DES) for Pd-catalysed -arylation reactions with Pd/BaSO (10%). By using the unique properties of DESs, we successfully achieved C-O bond formation without the need for additional solvents, bases and ligands. This solvent/catalyst system ([ChCl][TEA]) functioned as a dual catalyst and solvent system, enabling fast and environmentally friendly C-O bond formation from phenol derivatives and electron-deficient aryl halides, leading to remarkable yields under mild reaction conditions.

The development of new methods for regio- and stereoselective activation of C-O bonds in ethers holds significant promise for synthetic chemistry, offering advantages in terms of environmental sustainability and economic efficiency. Moreover, the C-N atropisomers represent a fascinating and crucial chiral system, extensively found in natural products, pharmaceutical leads, and the frameworks of advanced materials. In this work, we have introduced a nickel-catalyzed regio- and enantioselective carbon-oxygen arylation reaction for atroposelective synthesis of N-arylisoquinoline-1,3(2H,4H)-diones.

In this study, the present research describes a high-yield method for the synthesis of sulfonyl 2-aryl-5-methylenetetrahydropyrans by one-pot straightforward DABCO-promoted intramolecular Michael addition of β-sulfonyl styrene with 2-chloromethyl-1-propenol followed by intramolecular alkylation. This Baylis-Hillman-type pathway provides a highly effective stereoselective annulation by forming one carbon-oxygen bond and one carbon-carbon bond.
