Si anode materials are promising candidates for next-generation Li-ion batteries (LIBs) because of their high capacities. However, expansion and low conductivity result in rapid performance degradation. Herein, we present a facile one-pot method for pyrolyzing polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) polymers at low temperatures (≤400 °C) to form a thin carbonaceous layer on the silicon surface.

The chemical recycling of polystyrene (PS) waste to value-added aromatic compounds is an attractive but formidable challenge due to the inertness of the C-C bonds in the polymer backbone. Here we develop a light-driven, copper-catalyzed protocol to achieve aerobic oxidation of various alkylarenes or real-life PS waste to benzoic acid and oxidized styrene oligomers. The resulting oligomers can be further transformed under heating conditions, thus achieving benzoic acid in up to 65% total yield through an integrated one-pot two-step procedure.

Polyfluoroalkanoic Acids as Fluoroalkylating Reagents: Strategy for Direct Access to R-Embedded Amides.

Org Lett

January 2025

Laboratory of Catalysis and Organic Synthesis, Department of Chemistry, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, Roorkee 247667, Uttarakhand, India.

Herein, we have reported the application of bench stable perfluoroalkanoic acids as fluoro-alkylating reagents in combination with DIB and primary amides for sequential one-pot transformation to R-embedded functionalized amides under metal-free conditions. The protocol is tolerant to a range of sensitive functional groups (>33 examples and up to 90% yield), and perfluoro acids. Preliminary mechanistic studies, control experiments, in situ F-NMR analyses, and the synthesis of intermediate species were performed to understand the reaction pathways.

Domino cascade reactions, which can construct multiple bonds in one pot, are efficient methods to synthesize N-heterocycles and other useful skeletons. Herein, we report an expedient synthesis of polysubstituted benzo[][1,5]naphthyridine via Mn(III)-mediated C-C bond cleavage of cyclopropanols. These reactions were initiated by addition of β-carbonyl radicals, generated from cyclopropyl alcohols in the presence of Mn(III), to 2-(2-isocyanophenyl)acetonitriles to give quinolin-3-amines, which went through intramolecular cyclizations and dehydrogenation to give the final products.

In this study, phosphoramide compounds were successfully synthesized a series of reaction transformations from P(O)H compounds. The process began with the formation of P-Se-Ar bonds, facilitated by the synergistic effect of phenylboronic acid, selenium, and appropriate ligands in the presence of copper. Following this, nucleophilic substitution reactions with amine compounds were conducted to create P-N bonds.
