Reaction of quercetin (QR) (1) with bromine under various conditions was studied. Interaction of QR with 2-3 equiv. of bromine in glacial acetic acid at 35-40°C for 2-4 h and 20-22°C for 24 h led to the formation of QR 6,8-dibromide (2) (52-54% yields, 96-98% purity by HPLC). Interaction of QR with 2-5 equiv. bromine in absolute ethanol at 0-5°C and 20-22°C for 24 h led to the formation of 3-O-ethyl-QR-2,3,6,8,5'-pentabromide (3) (95-97% purity by HPLC) the output of which depends on the quantity of bromine. It was shown in MDCK cell culture that compound 2 exhibits a moderate inhibitory activity against pandemic influenza virus A/H1N1/pdm09 (EC50 6.0 µg/mL, CTD50 97.7 µg/mL, SI 16). Compound 3 was inactive.

The synthesis, structures, and reactivity of the first neutral 2π-aromatic Si rings [LSiSiAr(X)] (: X = Br; : X = Cl; L = PhC(NBu), Ar = 2,4,6-MeCH) were described. Compounds and were obtained by 1,3-halogenation of tetrasilacyclobutadiene (LSiSiAr) (), which was prepared by the reductive cross-coupling of trisilane (ArSiCl)SiHAr with two equiv of chlorosilylene LSiCl. The reaction of with two equiv of PhLi yielded the corresponding substitution Si ring [LSiSiAr(Ph)] ().

Herein, we report the highly enantioselective α-fluorination of both cyclic and acyclic β-dicarbonyl compounds, including β-diketones, β-ketoesters, and β-ketoamides. The reactions with β,β-diaryl serines as primary amine organocatalysts were enhanced by adding alkali carbonates, such as NaCO or LiCO, and enabled the reaction to be conducted with only 1.1 equiv of Selectfluor.

The oxidative chlorination of the plutonium metal was achieved through a reaction with gallium(III) chloride (GaCl). In DME (DME = 1,2-dimethoxyethane) as the solvent, substoichiometric (2.8 equiv) amounts of GaCl were added, which consumed roughly 60% of the plutonium metal over the course of 10 days.

A simple electrical mortar-pestle was used for the development of a green and facile mechanochemical route for the catalyst-free halogenation of phenols and anilines via liquid-assisted grinding using PEG-400 as the grinding auxiliary. A series of mono-, di-, and tri-halogenated phenols and anilines was synthesized in good to excellent yields within 10-15 min in a chemoselective manner by controlling the stoichiometry of -halosuccinimides (NXS, X = Br, I, and Cl). It was observed that PEG-400 plays a key role in controlling the reactivity of the substrates and to afford better regioselectivity.
