The kinetics of the oxidative additions of haloheteroarenes HetX (X=I, Br, Cl) to [Pd(0) (PPh3 )2 ] (generated from [Pd(0) (PPh3 )4 ]) have been investigated in THF and DMF and the rate constants have been determined. In contrast to the generally accepted concerted mechanism, Hammett plots obtained for substituted 2-halopyridines and solvent effects reveal a reaction mechanism dependent on the halide X of HetX: an unprecedented SN Ar-type mechanism for X=Br or Cl and a classical concerted mechanism for X=I. These results are supported by DFT studies.

We report the facile photochemical generation of a library of Ni(I)-bpy halide complexes (Ni(I)(bpy)X (R = -Bu, H, MeOOC; X = Cl, Br, I) and benchmark their relative reactivity toward competitive oxidative addition and off-cycle dimerization pathways. Structure-function relationships between the ligand set and reactivity are developed, with particular emphasis on rationalizing previously uncharacterized ligand-controlled reactivity toward high energy and challenging C(sp)-Cl bonds. Through a dual Hammett and computational analysis, the mechanism of the formal oxidative addition is found to proceed through an SAr-type pathway, consisting of a nucleophilic two-electron transfer between the Ni(I) 3() orbital and the C-Cl σ* orbital, which contrasts the mechanism previously observed for activation of weaker C(sp)-Br/I bonds.

Judiciously applied oriented external electric fields (OEEFs) exert catalytic effects on the kinetics and improve the thermodynamics of chemical reactions. Herein, we examine the ability of OEEFs to assist catalysts and show that the rate of oxidative addition between palladium catalysts and alkyl/aryl electrophiles can be controlled by an OEEF applied along the direction of electron reorganization (the "reaction axis"). The concerted mechanism of oxidative addition proceeds through a transition state with moderate charge transfer character.

Rationale: Stressful life events are suggested to contribute to the development of various pathologies, such as cardiovascular disorders, whose etiopathogenesis is highly associated with elevated levels of serum amyloid A (SAA) proteins. SAA synthesis in the liver is regulated by a complex network of cytokines acting independently or in concert with various hormones/stimulants including the stress-activated sympathetic nervous system.
Objective: This study aims to investigate the underlying mechanisms that regulate the stress-induced hepatic synthesis of SAA, with particular focus on adrenoceptors (AR), major components of the sympathoadrenal response to stress.

Trifluoromethylthio-substituted corannulene can be easily synthesized in good yield by the reaction of iodocorannulene with CuSCF . Oxidation with meta-chloroperbenzoic acid (mCPBA) yields the corresponding sulfonyl compound which exhibits the largest anodic shift of the redox potential caused by a single substituent. Similarly, four SCF , SC F and SeC F substituents are introduced in the 1,2,5,6-positions of corannulene starting with 1,2,5,6-tetraiodo- or 1,2,5,6-tetrabromocorannulene, respectively.
