Tandem intramolecular electrophilic arene borylation was developed to facilitate access to B-doped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). DFT calculations revealed that electrophilic arene borylation occurred via a four-membered ring transition state, in which C-B and H-Br bonds formed in a concerted manner. An organic light-emitting diode employing the B-doped PAH as an emitter and a B-doped PAH-based field-effect transistor were successfully fabricated, demonstrating the potential of B-doped PAHs in materials science.

Due to the special structure and physicochemical properties of sulfoximines, research on sulfoximines has achieved great progress in recent decades, especially in chemical and medicinal fields. This review highlights recent advancements in the N-functionalization of NH-sulfoximines, focusing on classical cross-coupling reactions with electrophilic agents and oxidative coupling reactions with extensive organic compounds, including specific (hetero)arenes, alkenes (1,4-naphthoquinones), alkanes (cyclohexanes), nucleophiles (thiols, disulfides, sulfinates, diarylphosphine oxides), organyl boronic acids, and arylhydrazines. Transition metal-catalyzed, metal-free, electrochemical and radical oxidative coupling reactions are discussed.

The high potential of non-covalent arene-fluoroarene intermolecular interactions in the design of liquid crystals lies in their ability to strongly promote self-assembly, improve the order and stability of the supramolecular mesophases, and enable tuneability of the optical and electronic properties, which can potentially be exploited for advanced applications in display technologies, photonic devices, sensors, and organic electronics. We recently successfully reported the straightforward synthesis of several mesogens containing four lateral aliphatic chains and derived from the classical triphenylene core self-assembling in columnar mesophases based on this paradigm. These mesogenic compounds were simply obtained in good yields by the nucleophilic substitution (SFAr) of various types of commercially available fluoroarenes with the electrophilic organolithium derivatives 2,2'-dilithio-4,4',5,5'-tetraalkoxy-1,1'-biphenyl (2Li- ).

Arene borylation reactions provide direct access to aryl organoboranes, including aryl boronic esters. Precious metals, namely Ir, Rh, Pt, remain the go-to for metal-catalysed borylation reactions, however, significant efforts have been expended in developing Earth-abundant metal alternatives. The iron-catalysed borylation of 2-aryl pyridine derivatives with 9-borabicyclo[3.

ConspectusElectrochemistry has been used as a tool to drive chemical reactions for more than two centuries. With the help of an electrode and a power source, chemists are provided with a system whose potential can be precisely dialed in. The theoretically infinite redox range renders electrochemistry capable of oxidizing or reducing some of the most tenacious compounds.

Article Synopsis
- The study used quantum-chemical calculations to explore how nitroalkanes activate when combined with protic acids, focusing on the Nef and Meyer reactions.
- It identified that specific cationic species, including -bis(hydroxy)iminium and -oxoiminium, form independently from nitroalkanes, and -hydroxynitrilium cations result from C-H bond cleavage in -oxoiminium.
- The findings suggest these cations are strong electrophiles that can react with nonactivated arenes under normal conditions, offering insights into the mechanisms of the Nef and Meyer reactions and hinting at possible new reaction pathways.
