Article Abstract
The dehydrogenative cross-coupling of arenes and alkenes is a particularly ideal approach for the synthesis of aryl alkenes. Herein, we report a photo-induced C-H/C-H cross-coupling between electron-rich arenes and styrene derivatives using a dual catalytic system containing an acridinium photosensitizer and a cobaloxime proton-reducing catalyst. This catalytic system enables the Csp-Csp bond formation accompanying H evolution. Various substituted aryl alkenes can be afforded with good to excellent yields and high β-regioselectivity.

Structural insights into 1,4-bis-(neopent-yloxy)pillar[5]arene and the pyridine host-guest system.

The crystal structure of 1,4-bis-(neopent-yloxy)pillar[5]arene, CHNO (, featuring two encapsulated pyridine mol-ecules, reveals significant host-guest inter-actions. Inter-estingly, the pyridine guests are positioned near the neopent-yloxy substituents instead of the electron-rich aromatic core of the pillar[5]arene. This spatial arrangement suggests a preference for the pyridine mol-ecules to engage with the aliphatic regions of the host.

This study reports a method for enhancing the functions and properties of traditional organic macrocyclic hosts by fully encapsulating them within a large ML cage to form host-in-host complexes. Within the cage host, the macrocyclic organic hosts with electron-rich aromatic rings, such as cyclotriveratrylene and calix[8]arene, adopt specific orientations enhancing their inherent molecular recognition abilities. Due to the high crystallinity of the ML cage, the guest encapsulation behavior of the host-in-host complexes can be observed by X-ray structural analysis.

Since the initial report, the Friedel-Crafts reaction has become a powerful tool to functionalize arenes. Nevertheless, the use of nitrogen heterocycles as electrophiles in Friedel-Crafts reactions has been less explored. Here, we show a Friedel-Crafts-like reaction of electron-rich arenes with quinazolin-4(3H)-ones, enabling late-stage C2-H arylation of quinazolin-4(3H)-ones via triflic anhydride (TfO) activation.

A metal- and solvent-free, one-pot and TFA-promoted method for the construction of hetero/aryl-substituted quinoxalin-2-ones, pyrazin-2(1)-ones, and pyrimidin-4(3)-ones is reported. This method involves the reaction of chloro-derivatives of nitrogen heterocycles with electron-rich arenes/heteroarenes, followed by hydroxylation. This protocol is easy to use, providing access to (hetero)aryl-substituted -heterocycles in good yields.

Photocatalytic N-to-C aryl migration allows for quick construction of highly useful amide derivatives from readily available compounds. By developing the reactions of sodium sulfinates with the N-aryl-propiolamides, we herein demonstrate that the CO-promoted visible-light-induced method enables a large variety of aryl groups on nitrogen atoms of the N-arylamides to undergo efficient aryl migration from N atom to C atom to synthesize tetra- and tri-substituted alkenyl amides selectively. 1,4-N-to-C aryl migration is a key step in this transformation which is achieved through photocatalytic radical-polar crossover pathway.
