A study of the reaction of cis-[PdRf2(AsPh3)2] (Rf = 3,5-C6Cl2F3) with ISnBu3 (that is the reversal of the natural Stille reaction of [PdRfI(AsPh3)2] with RfSnBu3) allows for the observation of cis-[PdRf2(AsPh3)(ISnBu3)], the expected intermediate from a cyclic transmetalation in the direct Stille reaction, thus providing experimental support to the operation of cyclic transmetalation pathways.

Xanthine nucleosides play a significant role in the expansion of the four-letter genetic code. Herein, 7-functionalized 8-aza-7-deazaxanthine ribo- and 2'-deoxyribonucleosides are described. 2-Amino-6-alkoxy nucleosides were converted to halogenated 8-aza-7-deazaxanthine nucleosides by deamination followed by hydroxy/alkoxy substitution.

An isomerized bithiazole imide (iBTzI) acceptor was effectively synthesized and functionalized via Suzuki or Stille coupling reactions. Compared with the isomerized bithiophene imide (iBTI) and bithiazole imide (BTzI), iBTzI has a more planar skeleton. Furthermore, the conjugated skeleton of iBTzI can be extended by hydrogen and chalcogen bonds.

Due to their defined structure and large molecular size, giant molecular acceptors (GMAs) have achieved significant progress in device efficiency and stability for organic solar cells. Unlike the classical synthesis of GMAs by Stille coupling, which still suffers from high cost and lack of environmental sustainability, this work develops three GMAs metal-free catalyzed reactions. By introducing varying quantities of malononitrile groups into the linker, the optoelectric properties of GMAs can be significantly regulated.

Article Synopsis
  • Organic solar cells (OSCs) are lightweight and can be made semitransparent, making them appealing for various applications since the introduction of the bulk heterojunction concept in 1995.
  • Fullerene derivatives were once the go-to electron acceptors for OSCs but have reached a power conversion efficiency (PCE) plateau of around 12% due to limitations like poor light absorption and energy level tunability.
  • Nonfullerene electron acceptors (NFAs), particularly fused-ring electron acceptors (FREAs), have emerged as superior alternatives since 2015, achieving PCEs up to 20% but face challenges in complex and costly synthesis; nonfused ring electron acceptors (NFREAs

The synthesis of the spirocyclic imine fragment of the portimine family of marine toxins has been achieved. A densely functionalized key lactone-ester intermediate was assembled via a highly diastereoselective Diels-Alder cycloaddition, involving a novel γ-hydroxymethyl-α,β-butenolide dienophile. A Stille coupling was employed to install the vinyl group.
