The ruffle of the porphyrin increases with the number of meso substituents. (Octaethylporphyrin)nickel(II) undergoes nucleophilic substitution reactions upon treatment with alkylating reagents such as butyllithium, hydrolysis with water, and oxidation with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone [DDQ; Eq. (a)]. Alkylation can be achieved at all four meso positions, and access is provided to new nonplanar porphyrins and asymmetrically substituted systems.

Aims: Organic thiocyanates are important pharmaceutical intermediates. This study aimed to develop a selective and efficient approach for synthesizing organic thiocyanates.

Methods: Under mild reaction conditions, an array of alkenes, KSCN, and diaryliodonium salts are considered good substrates, providing various aryl-substituted alkylthiocyanates with modest to excellent yield.

It is highly required to rationally design fluorescent probes a molecular engineering strategy with desired analytical performance for applications in sensing and imaging. Reaction-based fluorescent probes for highly selective sensing of cysteine (Cys) are mainly based on the participation of Cys in reactions such as, addition-cyclization with acrylates, cyclization with aldehydes, coordination displacement, Michael addition reactions, and cleavage reactions. Cys-triggered reactions with the O atoms of ether bonds has also been used to construct reaction-based fluorescent probes based on the substitution of the ether with the nucleophilic thiolate of Cys.

ConspectusThe manipulation of strained rings is a powerful strategy for accessing the valuable chemical frameworks present in natural products and active pharmaceutical ingredients. Aziridines, the smallest N-containing heterocycles, have long served as building blocks for constructing more complex amine-containing scaffolds. Traditionally, the reactivity of typical aziridines has been focused on ring-opening by nucleophiles or the formation of 1,3-dipoles.

Nitroarenes are readily accessible bulk chemicals and can serve as versatile starting materials for a series of synthetic reactions. However, due to the inertness of the C-NO bond, the direct denitrative substitution reaction with unactivated nitroarenes remains challenging. Chemists rely on sequential reduction and diazotization followed by the Sandmeyer reaction or the nucleophilic aromatic substitution of activated nitroarenes to realize nitro group transformations.
