Modular synthesis of C2-symmetric nitrogen-containing polyaromatics via visible light-enabled reductive aza-6π electrocyclization

Org. Chem. Front., 2024, Advance Article
DOI: 10.1039/D4QO00140K, Research Article
Qun-Liang Zhang, Qing-Tian Fan, Yirong Zhou, Jingli Zhang, Fang-Lin Zhang
Here, an unprecedented one-step modular construction of C2-symmetric N-PACs through  reduction/aza-6π electrocyclization was reported and the resultant C2-symmetric N-PAC could be  converted into  a powerful organic photocatalyst.

Electroacoustic Piano Concert via Modular Synthesis

The last time I performed a series of electroacoustic piano pieces was November of 2016 (click the link for an audio example). However, I am always imagining interesting ways that the piano, one of the most ancient of all synthesizers … Continue reading

Modular synthesis of triphenylphosphine-derived cage ligands for rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation applications

Dalton Trans., 2024, Advance Article
DOI: 10.1039/D4DT02627F, Paper
Wenlong Wang, Cunyao Li, Wenhao Wang, Yuqin Qiu, Hongguang Liu, Jinlong Lu, Yizhou Zhan, Li Yan, Yunjie Ding
Cage ligands can be easily synthesized via dynamic imine chemistry, and a specific cage ligand exhibits excellent performance in Rh-catalyzed hydroformylation reaction (TOF up to 2665 h−1 and the l/b ratio reaches 2.6).

Modular synthesis of oligoacetylacetones via site-selective silylation of acetylacetone derivatives

Org. Biomol. Chem., 2020, 18,3297-3302
DOI: 10.1039/D0OB00501K, Paper
Parantap Sarkar, Yuya Inaba, Hayato Shirakura, Tomoki Yoneda, Yasuhide Inokuma
Aliphatic oligoketones with tailored carbonyl and substituent sequences were modularly synthesized utilizing site-selective formation of enol silyl ethers. Their unique conformational preferences in solid-state were revealed by X-ray crystallography.
