An efficient and versatile synthesis of chiral tetralins has been developed using both inter- and intramolecular Friedel-Crafts alkylation as a key step. The readily available hydronaphthalene substrates were prepared via a highly enantioselective metal-catalyzed ring opening of meso-oxabicyclic alkenes followed by hydrogenation. A wide variety of complex tetracyclic compounds have been isolated with high levels of regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity.

This study aimed to investigate the properties of tin(II) oxide (SnO) as an unconventional cross-linking agent for chloroprene (CR) and styrene-butadiene (SBR) rubbers compositions. The use of tin(II) oxide results from the need to reduce the use of zinc oxide as a cross-linking agent due to environmental regulations and its toxic impact on aquatic environments. The studied elastomeric blends can be cross-linked with tin(II) oxide, and the results demonstrate the significant potential of this oxide in such applications.

We present a pyridine-oriented transannular Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction. This reaction, despite being thermodynamically unfavorable, successfully yields a series of pyridine-containing fused seven- or eight-membered rings. The resulting products not only have a similar skeleton to some marketed pharmaceuticals, but also can be further transferred into synthetically promising pleiadienes.

Porous organic polymers (POPs) are novel emergent materials for heterogeneous organocatalysis owing to their remarkable physicochemical stabilities. Through a bottom-up approach entailing diligent design of twisted biaryl building blocks with in-built o-iodobenzoic acid (IA) moieties, a series of POP precatalysts, p-OMeIA-POP, DiMeIA-POP, and m-OMeIA-POP, were synthesized by employing Friedel-Crafts alkylation. These IA-POP precatalysts can undergo in situ oxidation in the presence of Oxone® to generate hypervalent iodine(V) species (λ5-iodanes), in particular, modified o-iodoxybenzoic acid, popularly termed IBX, which mediates diverse oxidative transformations.

In this study, a novel berberine based anion-exchanged hypercrosslinked polymer (BBR-HCPs) was synthesized via Friedel-Crafts alkylation using dimethoxymethane as a cross-linking agent. The proposed BBR-HCPs polymer exhibited excellent adsorption capacities for aristolochic acids (AAs). Moreover, there are various interactions such as hydrophobic, π-π stacking, hydrogen bonding, and electrostatic interactions between BBR-HCPs and AAs.

Optically active spirocycles were prepared in a sequence of two palladium-catalyzed reactions. In the first step, racemic α-(-iodophenyl)-β-oxo allyl esters were submitted to the palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative asymmetric allylic alkylation reaction, furnishing the α-allylated products with a quaternary stereocenter with good yields and enantioselectivities. Subsequently, these intermediate products were converted in a Heck reaction yielding the spirocyclic structures as a mixture of - and -cyclic regioisomers.
