A palladium catalyzed cascade process involving syn-chloropalladation, intramolecular olefin insertion, and oxidative C-Cl bond formation reactions was demonstrated for the synthesis of dichlorinated tetrahydroquinolines in high yields (up to 93%). The N-propargyl arylamines having a tethered α,β-unsaturated carbonyl moiety underwent a regioselective syn-chloropalladation followed by a Heck-type reaction to deliver the tetrahydroquinoline scaffold. The rare insertion of the second chlorine atom was rationalized comprising a Pd catalytic cycle and oxidative cleavage of the C-Pd bond.

The growing demand for chemical production continues to drive the development of sustainable and efficient methods for introducing molecular complexity. In this context, the exploration of unconventional functional group transfer reagents (FGTRs) has led to significant advancements in practical and atom-efficient synthetic protocols. Aiming to advance the field of valuable organic synthesis, herein we report the successful development of carbon-based, bench-stable, modular, and inexpensive reagents implemented in dual halogen transfer to unsaturated hydrocarbons via photocatalytic activation of reagents based on a radical-polar crossover mechanism.

Bioaugmentation is a bioremediation approach to treat groundwater contaminated with chlorinated ethenes, but currently it faces challenges such as poor microbiome stability and effectiveness, due to blind species integration and metabolic inhibition. The objective of this study was to create a controllable and functionally stable microbial community for dichlorination application. For this, we utilized targeted screening to identify dechlorinating bacteria from contaminated groundwater, that in combination would form an anaerobic dechlorination microbial community with stabilizing metabolic interactions between the constituents.

Humic electron mediators can facilitate the reductive dehalogenation of organohalogenated compounds by accelerating electron transfer. To investigate the effect of humic electron mediators on the microbial anaerobic reductive dechlorination of Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), three types of humic electron mediators, humin (HM), humic acid (HA), and anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonic acid (AQDS, HA analogs), were added to PCB dechlorination cultures enriched from different sources in terrestrial and marine environments (T and M cultures). The results showed that meta- and para-site dechlorination occurred in the M culture, while only meta-site dechlorination occurred in the T culture.
