Recently, the rapid development of organic electrochemistry has led to new advancements in DDQ-catalyzed C—H bonds functionalization. Moreover, the challenging C—H functionalization of electron-deficient arenes has been achieved through the merger of electrochemical DDQ catalysis and photoirradiation. In addition, the synthetic utility of electrophotochemical DDQ catalysis was further demonstrated by the nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) reaction of unactivated aryl fluorides. The recent developments in electro- and electrophotochemical DDQ-catalyzed C—H/C—F func- tionalizations with attention to their strategies and mechanistic insights are summarized. It is hoped that this not only deepens the understanding of this field, but also helps relevant researchers expand the application scope of DDQ catalysis.展开更多

In this regard, impressive progress has been made on the defluorinative functionalization reactions that proceed via radical intermediates. Nevertheless, it is still a great challenge to precisely control the defluorination process, due to the continuous decrease of the C-F bond strength after the replacement of one or two fluorine atoms with various functionalities. This review article is aimed to provide a brief overview of recently reported methods used to functionalize C-F bonds of CF_(3) groups via radical intermediates. An emphasis is placed on the discussion of mechanistic aspects and synthetic applications.展开更多

These modification strategies could provide functionalized nonproteinogenic analogues with enhanced biological activities or improved therapeutic capabilities compared to their natural counterparts. Recent years, transition-metal-promoted functionalization of ubiquitous C-H bonds has been emerged as a powerful and tunable tool in this area, both for backbone diversifications and labeling of specific moieties. These reactions were flexible and expedient in both academic and industrial laboratories, especially considering their atom and step-economy, good functional group compatibility, accurate site selectivity. This review surveys the progress achieved in the late-stage modification of peptides and proteins utilizing transition-metal-catalyzed C-H functionalization with C-C and C-X(F, Cl, O, N, B, etc.) bonds formation.展开更多

Relative state energies, equilibrium bond lengths, vibrational frequencies, and ground-state dissociation energies were evaluated. It was found that the ground state is a triplet state irrespective of the type of functional and RECP used. This result is in contrast with a previous DFT calculation which gave a singlet ground state for Lu2. By comparing with the high-level ab initio and available experimental results, it is evident that the hybrid-GGA functionals combined with the Stuttgart smallcore RECP yield the best overall agreement for the properties under study. The effects of Hartree-Fock exchange in B3LYP functional on the calculated bond length and dissociation energy of the ground state were examined, and rationalized in terms of 5d participation in Lu-Lu covalent bonding.展开更多

The accurate prediction of Ni-L bond dissociation enthalpies （BDEs） is potentially important to understand these Ni-complex involving reactions.

We compared the different binding energies for two epoxy groups, as well as one hydroxyl group and one epoxy group on all possible positions within a 6-fold ring, respectively. The calculated results suggest that two oxygen-containing groups always tend to bind with the neighboring carbon atoms at the opposite sides. Moreover, two hydroxyl groups on the meta position are unstable, and one of the hydroxyl groups easily migrates to the para position. In contrast to the disperse arrangement, the aggregation of multiply hydroxyl groups largely enhances the binding energy of every hydroxyl group. It is worth noting that the binding sites and hydrogen bonds play an important role in stability. Our work further points out the number of oxygen-containing groups and the location of oxide region largely influence the electronic properties of graphene oxide.展开更多

文摘Density functional theory and GGA-PW91 exchange correlation function were performed to simulate the bonding behavior of hydroxyl and epoxy groups on the graphene surface. We compared the different binding energies for two epoxy groups, as well as one hydroxyl group and one epoxy group on all possible positions within a 6-fold ring, respectively. The calculated results suggest that two oxygen-containing groups always tend to bind with the neighboring carbon atoms at the opposite sides. Moreover, two hydroxyl groups on the meta position are unstable, and one of the hydroxyl groups easily migrates to the para position. In contrast to the disperse arrangement, the aggregation of multiply hydroxyl groups largely enhances the binding energy of every hydroxyl group. It is worth noting that the binding sites and hydrogen bonds play an important role in stability. Our work further points out the number of oxygen-containing groups and the location of oxide region largely influence the electronic properties of graphene oxide.

文摘The palladium-catalyzed late-stage aroylation of 4-methyl-1,5-diaryl-lH-pyrazole-3-carboxylates has been developed via direct and exclusive mono-Csp^2-H bond activation with broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance. A dual-core dimeric palladacycle is confirmed by X-ray single crystal crystallography, and probably serves as an active species in the catalytic cycle.
文摘The photo-/electrocatalytic functionalization of quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones has emerged as a promising and powerful approach for post-synthetic modification of quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones.This review provides an overview of recent developments in photo-/electrocatalytic functionalization of quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones including arylation,alkylation,fluoroalkylation,amination,phosphorylation,acylation,alkoxylation,thiolation,silylation,and annulation.The reaction scope and the related mechanism are also well discussed.
