-nitro type reagents have been demonstrated as mild nitration tools in recent years. This work presents an exploration of direct nitration of aryl alkenes mediated by DNDMH, a novel -nitro type reagent developed in our previous study. It exhibits herein a new property of DNDMH as an effective direct nitration reagent for aryl alkenes, through probably the delivery of nitro radicals with the aid of TEMPO and Cu(OAc).

A route for nitrification and C-H activation/cyclization of ()--allyl-'-benzylidenebenzenesulfonohydrazide and cobalt nitrate via an iron(II)-catalyzed cascade reaction to synthesize nitrated dihydropyrazoles has been developed. The method features convenient operation and good functional group tolerance. In addition, it employs insensitive and inexpensive FeSO as the catalyst and provides a direct approach for the preparation of dihydropyrazoles.

Reactive Nitrogen Species Generated from Far-UVC Photolysis of Nitrate Contribute to Pesticide Degradation and Nitrogenous Byproduct Formation.

Climate change has resulted in increased use of pesticides and fertilizers in agriculture, leading to elevated pesticide and nitrate levels in aquatic ecosystems that receive agricultural runoff. In this study, we demonstrate that far-UVC (UV) photolysis of nitrate rapidly degrades four pesticides in surface water, with a degradation rate constant 37.1-144.

Facile Access to Terminal Nitroalkanes via Anti-Markovnikov Hydronitration and Hydronitroalkylation of Alkenes Using Photoredox Catalysis.

Department of Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Bern (UniBe), Freiestrasse 3, 3012, Bern, Switzerland.

The evolution of catalysis and functional group transfer reagents play a significant role in the development of anti-Markovnikov alkene hydrofunctionalization reactions, facilitating the access to value-added molecules. We herein report the first rational design of a modular intermolecular anti-Markovnikov hydronitration of alkenes, enabling the direct synthesis of terminal nitroalkanes under visible light-mediated photoredox catalysis. By employing the redox-active organic nitrating reagent N-nitrosuccinimide, the produced nitryl radicals, in the presence of an olefin and a hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) mediator, lead to an anti-Markovnikov addition with complete regioselectivity.

Article Synopsis
  • High valent metal species like Cu(III), Mn(III), and Fe(IV) are important in breaking down pollutants, but research on Cu(III) is less developed.
  • Researchers synthesized copper(III) periodate to test its effectiveness on six sulfonamide antibiotics, finding that Cu(III) can nearly fully degrade them in just 10 minutes if used in a 3:1 molar ratio.
  • SAs with 6-ring structures were degraded more easily, especially when they had electron-rich groups; however, factors like pH and the presence of certain compounds influenced the degradation process.

In the realm of organic synthesis, direct C-H alkynylation with arylacetylenes has remained a daunting challenge due to competing annulations or alkenylation. Addressing this long-standing issue, herein we demonstrate the merging of copper and photocatalysis to achieve the elusive C-H alkynylation of benzamides using arylacetylenes or arylpropiolic acids. Unlike conventional copper-mediated C-H activations, our protocol circumvents the need for high temperatures and stoichiometric amounts of copper salts or metal/non-metal oxidants.
