A copper-catalyzed, directed C-H diarylamination of indoles, indolines, anilines, and -aryl-7-azaindoles has been established. Only copper salt as the catalyst and oxygen as the terminal oxidant are used to synthesize triarylamines using various diarylamines including carbazole and phenothiazine. Mechanistic interrogation reveals that copper plays a dual role.

Copper complexes of tripodal ligands have been used as model systems for electron transfer proteins for decades, displaying a broad range of electron self-exchange rates. We herein report a group of six tripodal tetradentate triarylamine ligands which display a varying number of guanidine and 2-methylquinolinyl moieties. Their corresponding Cu(I) complexes have been (re)synthesized and studied with regard to their electron transfer properties.

Article Synopsis
  • * A one-pot synthesis method has been developed, using aryl halides and NaNH as a nitrogen source and base, demonstrating simplicity and effectiveness with the Pd/Xantphos catalyst particularly favoring aryl bromides.
  • * The study shows that various aryl ring substituents adapt well, yielding TAAs in moderate to excellent amounts, while the reaction mechanism involves three C-N cross-coupling steps, with material properties being tunable based on these substitutions.

Two new triarylamine-based diamine monomers, namely, ,'-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-,'-bis(4-(4-aminophenyl-4'-methoxyphenylamino)phenyl)--phenylenediamine () and ,'-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-,'-bis(4-((4-aminophenyl-1-naphthyl)amino)phenyl)--phenylenediamine (), were successfully synthesized and led to two series of electroactive polyamides by polycondensation reactions with common aromatic dicarboxylic acids. The polymers demonstrated multicolored electrochromism, high optical contrast, and remarkable enhancements in redox and electrochromic stability. Compared to other triarylamine-based polymers, the studied polyamides exhibited enhanced electrochromic stability (only 3~6% decay of its coloration efficiency at 445 nm after 14,000 switching cycles) at the first oxidation stage.

The bipodal compounds [(TMGbiphen)Cu-NCMe](PF) (R = Me, Ar (4-CFPh-)) and [(TMGbiphen)Cu-I] have been synthesized with ligands that feature a diarylmethyl- and triaryl-amine framework and superbasic tetramethylguanidinyl residues (TMG). The cationic Cu(I) sites mediate catalytic nitrene-transfer reactions between the imidoiodinane PhI = NTs (Ts = tosyl) and a panel of styrenes in MeCN, to afford aziridines, demonstrating comparable reactivity profiles. The copper reagents have been further explored to execute C-H amination reactions with a variety of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons and two distinct nitrene sources PhI = NTs and PhI = NTces (Tces = 2,2,2-trichloroethylsulfamate) in benzene/HFIP (10:2 v/v).

Redox-active organic compounds gather significant attention for their potential application as electrodes in alkali ion batteries, owing to the structural versatility, environmental friendliness, and cost-effectiveness. However, their practical applications of such compounds are impeded by insufficient active sites with limited capacity, dissolution in electrolytes, and sluggish kinetics. To address these issues, a naphthol group-containing triarylamine polymer, namely poly[6,6'-(phenylazanediyl)bis(naphthol)] (poly(DNap-OH)) is rationally designed and synthesized, via oxidative coupling polymerization.
