A novel naphthotetraindole (NTI) core was synthesized in two steps via the McMurry reaction and a [Cu]/[Ag]-promoted intramolecular dehydrogenative homocoupling reaction. NTI shows a unique X-shaped double-helical structure as determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The hole-transport mobility of the bare NTI core was measured to be 2.3 × 10 cm V s, which is comparable with the commonly used Spiro-OMeTAD.

ConspectusChiral organosilicon compounds bearing a Si-stereogenic center have attracted increasing attention in various scientific communities and appear to be a topic of high current relevance in modern organic chemistry, given their versatile utility as chiral building blocks, chiral reagents, chiral auxiliaries, and chiral catalysts. Historically, access to these non-natural Si-stereogenic silanes mainly relies on resolution, whereas their asymmetric synthetic methods dramatically lagged compared to their carbon counterparts. Over the past two decades, transition-metal-catalyzed desymmetrization of prochiral organosilanes has emerged as an effective tool for the synthesis of enantioenriched Si-stereogenic silanes.

Herein, we present a Pd(OAc)/Dppp-catalyzed synthesis of 4-arylphenanthridinones from 2-bromobenzamides and iodobenzene, which undergoes successive Ullman cross-coupling, C-H activation, and oxidative coupling dehydrogenation process. The presented methods offer an adaptable and modular synthesis route for efficiently producing a wide array of valuable phenanthridiones, demonstrating exceptional compatibility with functional groups. Alternatively, a 1:1 cross-coupling reaction utilizing an intramolecular norbornene moiety as the ligand resulted in phenanthridinones through -arylation and C-H activation.

Domino cascade reactions, which can construct multiple bonds in one pot, are efficient methods to synthesize N-heterocycles and other useful skeletons. Herein, we report an expedient synthesis of polysubstituted benzo[][1,5]naphthyridine via Mn(III)-mediated C-C bond cleavage of cyclopropanols. These reactions were initiated by addition of β-carbonyl radicals, generated from cyclopropyl alcohols in the presence of Mn(III), to 2-(2-isocyanophenyl)acetonitriles to give quinolin-3-amines, which went through intramolecular cyclizations and dehydrogenation to give the final products.

This study presents a method for synthesizing functionalized hydrodibenzofuran derivatives. Using palladium catalysis, -aryl cyclic vinylogous esters undergo dehydrogenative intramolecular arylation at the vinylic carbon. Preliminary kinetic isotope effect studies suggest that the C(aryl)-H bond cleavage may be the rate-determining step.

Conjugated polymers have revolutionized the field of conductometric gas sensors for sensing toxic gases arising from the fast urbanization and industrialization. In this work, we report the synthesis of a series of 5,15-diaryl Ni(II) porphyrin-conjugated polymers () and their integration as the top layer on an octafluorinated copper phthalocyanine () sublayer to construct bilayer heterojunction (BLH) devices for ammonia sensing. For the first time, we report the pioneering demonstration of polarity engineering within a BLH device by manipulating the -substituent of the 5,15-diaryl Ni(II) porphyrin-conjugated polymer constituting the top layer of the BLH device.
