Herein, we present an efficient and straightforward strategy enabling access to 2,3-disubstituted benzo[]furans. The whole synthetic process proceeds a domino intermolecular Sonogashira coupling of 2-(2-bromophenoxy)-1-phenylethan-1-ones/alkyl 2-(2-bromophenoxy)acetates/2-(2-bromophenoxy)acetonitrile/1-(2-bromophenoxy)propan-2-one with terminal acetylenes followed by an intramolecular carbanion-yne cyclization in a 5-- manner and subsequent double-bond isomerization. Notably, two C-C bonds have been constructed in a one-pot manner and a wide variety of (3-benzylbenzofuran-2-yl)(phenyl)methanones were accomplished with good functional group tolerance.

Article Synopsis
  • Thin films of poly(arylene ethynylene)-conjugated polymers can be created using a specialized method called surface-confined Sonogashira cross-coupling, which offers precise control over their structure and organization.
  • These polymers boast high stability and significant electronic interactions between chains, enhancing their electronic and spectroscopic properties.
  • The resulting fluorescent films are highly sensitive in chemosensing applications, effectively detecting nitroaromatic explosives in water at extremely low concentrations (sub-ppt level) due to improved exciton mobility.

Optical detection of the HSO ion in pure aqueous medium is rare, owing to the very high Gibbs free energy of hydration and ambiguity to distinguish with the isostructural HPO ion. Herein, a pair of triphenylamine-based push-pull dyes with different numbers of terminal pyridine fragments, connected via an acetylenic linker, were synthesized by Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction. These two dyes displayed highly selective (LOD = 15.

In this report, we describe Pd-catalyzed cascade reactions in which two internal alkynes undergo two -carbocarbonation reactions, leading to new carbon-carbon bonds across the emerging double bonds. The resulting vinyl Pd intermediate being obtained after two carbopalladations is involved in either terminating Suzuki or Sonogashira reactions leading to either highly substituted butadienes or hexadienynes. A variety of different precursors as well as boronic acids and alkynes, respectively, were employed, yielding a broad spectrum of the corresponding products in yields of up to 82%.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on enhancing metal center cooperation through tailored ligand design for improved multimetallic catalysis.
  • A bimetallic Pd NHC/pyridine complex was synthesized using a novel ligand featuring an ethynylbenzene framework, allowing the creation of more complex dinuclear complexes.
  • The dinuclear complexes exhibited superior catalytic performance, particularly those with acetylene linkers, compared to mononuclear and other dinuclear complexes, which was evidenced by better results in specific chemical reactions.

A new family of symmetrical fluorene derivatives with different types of substituents attached to the C-2 and C-7 positions of the fluorene core synthesized by the Sonogashira coupling reactions is reported. The electronic structures and the properties of the compounds investigated by means of photoelectron emission spectroscopy, UV-Vis absorption and photoluminescent spectroscopy as well as by DFT and TD-DFT theoretical calculations are discussed. It is shown that the nature of substituents influences the π-conjugation of the molecules.
