Cu-catalyzed C-H/C-O cyclization of 2,2'-binaphthol, using air as an oxidant, was developed. C-H functionalization of binaphthols occurred at the 8,8'-position to form peri-xanthenoxanthenes that exhibit high charge-carrier mobility. The reaction can tolerate a wide variety of functional groups and afforded the corresponding peri-xanthenoxanthene derivatives via an efficient procedure.

Efficient synthesis of 3,6,13,16-tetrasubstituted-tetrabenzo[,,,]coronenes by selective C-H/C-O arylations of anthraquinone derivatives.

Beilstein J Org Chem

March 2020

Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science and Technology, Keio University, 3-14-1 Hiyoshi, Kohoku-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa 223-8522, Japan.

An efficient synthesis of tetrabenzo[,,,]coronene derivatives having alkyl and alkoxy substituents at the 3, 6, 13, and 16-positions was achieved based on the ruthenium-catalyzed coupling reactions of anthraquinone derivatives with arylboronates via C-H and C-O bond cleavage. The reaction sequence involving the arylation, carbonyl methylenation, and oxidative cyclization effectively provided various tetrabenzo[,,,]coronenes in short steps from readily available starting materials. Tetrabenzo[,,,]coronenes possessing two different types of substituents were obtained selectively by sequential chemoselective C-O arylation and C-H arylation.

Conversion of industrial biowastes to clean solid fuels via hydrothermal carbonization (HTC): Upgrading mechanism in relation to coalification process and combustion behavior.

Bioresour Technol

November 2018

Key Laboratory of Renewable Energy, CAS, Guangdong Key Laboratory of New and Renewable Energy Research and Development, Guangzhou Institute of Energy Conversion, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Guangzhou 510640, People's Republic of China.

The aim of this work was to study the correlation between dynamic mechanisms of carbon structure associated with their upgrading effects with the help of XPS, C NMR and 2D-PCIS methods. Results showed the fuel qualifies of biowastes were improved and became comparable to lignite or even bitumite after HTC. The carbon chemical bonds of -C-H and -C-O in biowaste components (mainly protein and polysaccharide) were thermally cracked and enriched in liquid phase in the form of soluble intermediates, which subsequently generated coal-like structures via cyclization as well as polymerization at higher temperatures.
