Plasmon-driven surface functionalization of nanoparticles is receiving increasing attention as it allows locally tailored chemical reactivity to be generated on the nanoparticle surface. The extension to surface multi-functionalization still represents a major breakthrough in chemistry. We address this issue by triggering regiospecific surface double-functionalization under plasmon excitation, using diazonium salts as surface functionalization agents.

Herein, we present an efficient approach for developing electrochemical aptasensing interfaces, by "click" postfunctionalization of phenylethynyl-grafted glassy carbon substrates with mixed monolayers containing biorecognition elements and phosphorylcholine zwitterionic groups. Typically, controlling the composition of multicomponent surface layers by grafting from a mixture of aryldiazonium salts is challenging due to differences in their chemical reactivity. Our approach circumvents this issue by employing the electrochemical reduction of a single aryldiazonium salt containing a silyl-protected alkyne group followed by deprotection, to create phenylethynyl monolayers which can subsequently accommodate the concurrent immobilization of bioreceptors and zwitterionic groups through "click" postfunctionalization.

Herein, we report a direct diazenylation of active methylene compounds that is environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and scalable, utilizing a heterogeneous TiO catalyst that is both accessible and recyclable. The scope of this transformation shows excellent compatibility with both electron-rich and electron-poor diazonium salts, yielding the desired products in very good yields at room temperature.

The synthesis of coumarin- and flavonoid-chalcone hybrids via Pd-catalyzed Heck-type coupling of arene diazonium salts and 8-allylcoumarins and -flavonoids is reported. The β-hydride elimination step proceeds with high regioselectivity if an OMOM-substituent is present at the position C7, adjacent to the allyl group. A selective allylic oxidation of the coupling products was accomplished using DDQ in the presence of silica to furnish the chalcones.

While aromatic diazonium salts are important reagents in organic synthesis, 'Diazonium ions generated from ordinary aliphatic primary amines are usually useless for preparative purposes, since they lead to a mixture of products giving not only substitution by any nucleophile present, but also elimination and rearrangements if the substrate permits.' In this work, we report that this statement is no longer valid, and it is now possible to control diazotization of aliphatic amines by utilizing isopentyl nitrite in HFIP. This transformation enabled electrophilic aromatic substitution with these highly abundant and commercially available alkyl reagents, as well as transforming them into building blocks typically employed in organic synthesis.

A convenient and practical method has been developed for synthesizing various -aryl pyrazoles from vinyl sulfoxonium ylides and diazonium salts. When using 1,3-disubstituted vinyl sulfoxonium ylides, the reaction selectively yields 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazoles. On the other hand, employing 2,3-disubstituted vinyl sulfoxonium ylides results in the formation of 1,3,4-trisubstituted pyrazoles.
