Quantitative catalytic nucleophilic fluorination of a range of acyl chlorides to acyl fluorides was promoted by a cyclometallated rhodium complex [(η,κC-CMeCHCFCHNCHNMe)- RhCl] (). can be prepared in high yields from commercially available starting materials using a one-pot method. The catalyst could be separated, regenerated, and reused. Rapid quantitative fluorination generated the fluoride analogue of the active pharmaceutical ingredient probenecid. Infrared in situ monitoring verified the clean conversion of the substrates to products. VTNA graphical kinetic analysis and DFT calculations lead to a postulated reaction mechanism involving a nucleophilic Rh-F bond.

The mechanism of the base-catalyzed thiol-epoxide stage of the thiol-ene/thiol-epoxide curing process was investigated using quantum chemical tools. This study searched for conventional tertiary amines with low to medium basicity as initiators to control reaction rates and tailor industrial applications. Challenges arise from the stronger basicity of initiators, leading to an uncontrollable and short curing application period.

The high potential of non-covalent arene-fluoroarene intermolecular interactions in the design of liquid crystals lies in their ability to strongly promote self-assembly, improve the order and stability of the supramolecular mesophases, and enable tuneability of the optical and electronic properties, which can potentially be exploited for advanced applications in display technologies, photonic devices, sensors, and organic electronics. We recently successfully reported the straightforward synthesis of several mesogens containing four lateral aliphatic chains and derived from the classical triphenylene core self-assembling in columnar mesophases based on this paradigm. These mesogenic compounds were simply obtained in good yields by the nucleophilic substitution (SFAr) of various types of commercially available fluoroarenes with the electrophilic organolithium derivatives 2,2'-dilithio-4,4',5,5'-tetraalkoxy-1,1'-biphenyl (2Li- ).

Organofluorine compounds are vital across multiple sectors, hence highly selective methods to install fluorine are of considerable importance. The deoxyfluorination of alcohols is a key approach to prepare organofluorine compounds, however, a highly secondary (2°)-selective deoxyfluorination of alcohols has not been realized to date. Herein, we report that borane-mediated deoxyfluorination results in high 2°-selectivity in inter- and intra-molecular competition reactions versus primary (1°), tertiary (3°) and even benzylic (Bn) alcohols.

The design and synthesis of unique two series of fluorinated sulfonamides 3a-f and 5a-g utilizing nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions of tetrafluorophthalonitrile 1 with various sulfonamides 2 under a variety of different reactions conditions were the key goals of the current research. The chemical composition of the generated products has been investigated via mass spectroscopy, HNMR, CNMR, infrared, and elemental analyzes. Antimicrobial studies were conducted in vitro to evaluate the activity of all new synthesized compounds against resistant strains.

The development of small-molecule catalysts that can effectively activate both reacting partners simultaneously represents a pivotal pursuit in advancing the field of stereoselective glycosylation reactions. We report herein the development of the singly protonated form of readily available phenanthroline as an effective cooperative catalyst that facilitates the coupling of a wide variety of aliphatic alcohols, phenols, and aromatic amines with α-glycosyl trichloroacetimidate donors. The glycosylation reaction likely proceeds via an S2-like mechanism, generating β-selective glycoside products.
