Abstract
Herein, a series of new 1,1,2-trimethyl-1H-benzo[e]indole dyes was prepared via Knoevenagel condensation reaction between 1,1,2-trimethyl-1H-benzo[e]indole and benzaldehydes, and characterized using various spectroscopic methods. The obtained compounds showed cytotoxic properties in G361 melanoma cell line upon irradiation with 414 nm blue light at submicromolar doses. The mechanism of action of the most potent compound 15 was further investigated. The treatment induced substantial generation of reactive oxygen species, leading to DNA damage followed by cell death depending on the concentration of the photosensitizer compound and the irradiation intensity.

Abstract
CONTEXT Milk has nutrient-rich but thermal sensitive matrix that undergoes varying degrees of Maillard reaction (MR) at heating conditions. The MR mainly occurs between lysine residues (Lys) and lactose composed of glucose (Glc) and galactose (Gal), which are abundantly sourced from dairy products. In the present study, the MRs of Glc and Gal with Lys at the initial and intermediate stages have been investigated theoretically using density functional theory (DFT) to simulate the gaseous and aqueous phases. Reaction mechanisms have been proposed, and relative energy changes of different steps were calculated according to the total mass balance. The calculations reveal that both Nα- and Nε-amine groups of Lys can react with the carbonyl functional group of Glc and Gal with the similar potential energy profiles, and Gal is more reactive than Glc. However, the barrier in Nε-channel is lower than in Nα-channel, indicating a faster reaction rate through the former channel compared with the latter. The 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfural (HMF) and derivative are formed under 3-deoxysone route in the intermediate stage. The calculation results are helpful for proposing a reasonable MR mechanism and suggesting possible control methods of the MRs. METHODS In this study, different levels of DFT calculations have been conducted to investigate the mechanisms and favorability of generating MR products in Glc-Lys and Gal-Lys models at initial and intermediate stages in the gaseous and aqueous conditions. In order to elucidate the molecular models from the perspectives of chemistry and geometry, DFT calculations were performed by the mean of B3LYP functional at basis sets of 6-311 + + G (d, p) and 6-311 + + G (2df, 2p) with optional solvation settings. To examine the solvation effect, the study further constructed models with solvent H2O and calculated in wB97XD functional with 6-31 + G (d) basis set. All computations were carried out Gaussian 09 suite of quantum chemistry software.

Abstract
Organic aerogels are emerging as promising materials due to their versatile properties, rendering them excellent candidates for a variety of applications in the fields of thermal insulation, energy storage, pharmaceuticals, chemical adsorption, and catalysis. However, current aerogel designs rely on cross-linked polymer networks, which lack efficient end-of-use solutions, thereby hindering their overall sustainability. In this study, a facile synthesis of organic aerogels with a unique combination of imine and cyanurate moieties is presented, resulting in high-performance, lightweight insulating materials. The aerogels' structure, ensures mechanical robustness, thermal resistance, and hydrophobicity without additional treatments, crucial for long-term performance. Additionally, in response to the currently unsustainable use of cross-linked polymer materials, the molecular design offers diverse avenues of chemical recycling. These include full depolymerization back into the original monomers, partial network fragmentation producing soluble oligomers that can be promptly employed to fabricate new aerogels, and upcycling of aerogel waste into useful building blocks. This work pioneers a novel approach to material design, emphasizing recyclability as a core feature while maintaining high-performance excellence.

Abstract
ConspectusLewis π acids, particularly high-valent transition metals with vacant orbitals, can coordinate with unsaturated compounds such as alkynes and alkenes by means of π-bonding. The coordination enhances the electrophilicity of the bound compounds, thereby facilitating reactions─such as nucleophilic addition─that take place at the ligated carbon-carbon multiple bonds. This activation phenomenon occurs at the ligand rather than at the metal atom, and it has been extensively utilized in the development of catalytic methods. In addition to alkynes and alkenes, aromatic compounds featuring a phenyl ring can be activated by an electrophilic transition-metal unit (e.g., Cr(CO)3, [Mn(CO)3]+, [CpFe]+, or [CpRu]+, where Cp = cyclopentadienyl) through π coordination. Over the past several decades, remarkable advances have been achieved in the development of reactions occurring on bound arenes, capitalizing on the highly electron-withdrawing nature of these transition-metal units and on the thermodynamic stability of η6-arene complexes. A prime example is the extension of nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) reactions to electron-neutral and -rich halobenzenes. Such arenes, which are normally inert to classical SNAr, can undergo sequences involving complex formation, substitution, and complex decomposition. Despite the successes achieved through the utilization of preformed complexes, the application of reversible arene coordination to catalytic systems has seen only limited progress. Consequently, in π-coordination activation, transition-metal units are commonly considered to be components of bound arene complexes rather than π-acid catalysts.In this Account, we summarize our recent research on catalytic SNAr reactions of halobenzenes and phenols enabled by reversible π-coordination of the arenes with electrophilic Ru or Rh catalysts, which we refer to as arenophilic π-acids. First, we developed a method for SNAr amination of fluorobenzenes with catalysis by a Ru(II) complex with a hemilabile P,O-bidentate ligand. The use of the hemilabile ligand significantly enhanced catalytic efficiency, allowing electron-rich and -neutral arenes to undergo amination without the need of excess fluorobenzenes. In a subsequent study of hydroxylation and alkoxylation reactions, we found that Rh(III) catalysts bearing a Cp-type ligand had a substantial activating effect. In addition, by isolating an η5 complex as the reaction intermediate, we obtained evidence in support of the long-standing hypothesis that SNAr of η6-arene complexes proceeds via a stepwise mechanism. Next, we extended the Rh-catalyzed SNAr to chloro- and bromobenzenes, which are abundant and readily available but are less reactive than corresponding fluorides toward SNAr. When the weakly nucleophilic alcohol hexafluoroisopropanol was used as a reaction partner, we were able to synthesize hexafluoroisopropyl aryl ethers, which are challenging to obtain by means of conventional approaches. Beyond halobenzenes, we successfully applied π-coordination strategy to achieve umpolung substitution reactions of phenols, which are typically nucleophilic. We found that an arenophilic Rh or Ru catalyst activated the phenol ring by π coordination instead of κ-O coordination, generating transient η5-phenoxo complexes that subsequently underwent carbonyl-amine condensation to produce anilines without the need for an exogenous oxidant or reductant. We anticipate that our research on catalyst development and reactions involving π-coordination activation will facilitate further advances in the application of arenophilic π acids.

Abstract
Nucleophilic vinylic substitution (SNV) by carbon nucleophiles allows the formation of vinylic C-C bonds without transition metal catalysts. In this paper, we show that tethering two alkenes together through a urea linkage can lead to the formation of a diene by an intramolecular SNV reaction. The starting materials are fully substituted N,N'-diallyl ureas; the reaction proceeds in the presence of base, and entails a cascade of deprotonations, reprotonations, and an SNV reaction of an allylic carbanion on a rare electrophile: a vinylic urea. As a result, two allylic substituents couple to form a diene, despite the fact that neither is activated towards electrophilic attack. The reaction is tolerant of significant steric bulk, and exhibits regioselectivity with unsymmetrical diallyl ureas: β-substituted allyl groups invariably behave as nucleophiles, while electrophilic behavior may be enforced by the use of an E-vinylic urea substituent that cannot be deprotonated under the reaction conditions.

Abstract
Pentafluoropyridine was used as a molecular building block for the installation of aryl bromides, affording a series of multisubstituted halogenated arenes. This operationally simplistic methodology offers precise regioselectivity, ease of scalability, and high purity. 19F Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) served as a key diagnostic tool for structural characterization, given the sensitivity with various aryl bromine substitutions on the fluorinated pyridine ring. Furthermore, molecular modeling simulations offered insight into this new class of halogenated phenylpyridines and their unique electronic and reactive properties. This study also demonstrates examples of efficient chemo-selectivity upon either metal-catalyzed aryl-aryl coupling or nucleophilic aromatic substitution of the aryl bromide or fluorinated pyridine scaffold, respectively. A diverse pool of polyarylene structures with high degree of complexity, functionalized linear polymers, and controlled network architectures were achieved from this simple methodology.

Abstract
Covalent network polymers, as materials composed of atoms interconnected by covalent bonds in a continuous network, are known for their thermal and chemical stability. Over the past two decades, these materials have undergone significant transformations, gaining properties such as malleability, environmental responsiveness, recyclability, crystallinity, and customizable porosity, enabled by the development and integration of dynamic covalent chemistry (DCvC). In this review, we explore the innovative realm of covalent network polymers by focusing on the recent advances achieved through the application of DCvC. We start by examining the history and fundamental principles of DCvC, detailing its inception and core concepts and noting its key role in reversible covalent bond formation. Then the reprocessability of covalent network polymers enabled by DCvC is thoroughly discussed, starting from the significant milestones that marked the evolution of these polymers and progressing to their current trends and applications. The influence of DCvC on the crystallinity of covalent network polymers is then reviewed, covering their bond diversity, synthesis techniques, and functionalities. In the concluding section, we address the current challenges faced in the field of covalent network polymers and speculates on potential future directions.

Abstract
Since the discovery of the palladium/norbornene (Pd/NBE)-catalyzed ortho amination in 2013, escaping the limitation of only yielding tertiary anilines has been a long-standing challenge. Here, we describe that, by carefully choosing the phosphine ligand and NBE mediator, the installation of a N-mono-alkylamino group becomes feasible. The reaction tolerates a wide range of aryl iodide substrates and various N-mono-tertiary alkylamine-derived electrophiles. Both ipso alkenylation and alkynylation can be realized. The synthetic utility of this method is exemplified by the formation of primary amino group via selective deprotection and streamlined access to N-heterocycles. Preliminary success of installing a bulky N-secondary alkylamino group and a mechanistic understanding of the decomposition pathways of mono N-alkylamine electrophiles have been obtained.

Abstract
The complexes of first-row transition metals can undergo elementary reactions by multiple pathways due to their propensity to undergo both one- and two-electron redox steps. Classic and recent studies of the oxidative addition of aryl halides to Ni(0)-a common step in widely practised cross-coupling processes-have yielded contradictory conclusions about stepwise, radical versus concerted mechanisms, but such information is crucial to the design of catalysts based on earth-abundant metals. Here we show that the oxidative addition of aryl halides to Ni(0) ligated by monophosphines occurs by both mechanisms and delineate how the branching of radical and non-radical pathways depends on the electronic properties of both the ligand and reactant arene as well as the identity of the halide. The one-electron pathway occurs by outer-sphere electron transfer to form an aryl radical rather than the often-proposed halogen atom transfer.

Abstract
Covalent inhibitors and other types of covalent modalities have seen a revival in the past two decades, with a variety of new targeted covalent drugs having been approved in recent years. A key feature of such molecules is an intrinsically reactive group, typically a weak electrophile, which enables the irreversible or reversible formation of a covalent bond with a specific amino acid of the target protein. This reactive group, often called the "warhead", is a critical determinant of the ligand's activity, selectivity, and general biological properties. In 2019, we summarized emerging and re-emerging warhead chemistries to target cysteine and other amino acids (Gehringer, M.; Laufer, S. A. J. Med. Chem. 2019, 62, 5673-5724; DOI: 10.1021/acs.jmedchem.8b01153). Since then, the field has rapidly evolved. Here we discuss the progress on covalent warheads made since our last Perspective and their application in medicinal chemistry and chemical biology.

Abstract
HIV-1 capsid protein (CA) is the molecular target of the recently FDA-approved long acting injectable (LAI) drug lenacapavir (GS-6207). The quick emergence of CA mutations resistant to GS-6207 necessitates the design and synthesis of novel sub-chemotypes. We have conducted the structure-based design of two new sub-chemotypes combining the scaffold of GS-6207 and the N-terminal cap of PF74 analogs, the other important CA-targeting chemotype. The design was validated via induced-fit molecular docking. More importantly, we have worked out a general synthetic route to allow the modular synthesis of novel GS-6207 subtypes. Significantly, the desired stereochemistry of the skeleton C2 was confirmed via an X-ray crystal structure of the key synthetic intermediate 22a. Although the newly synthesized analogs did not show significant potency, our efforts herein will facilitate the future design and synthesis of novel subtypes with improved potency.

Abstract
Dearomatizations provide powerful synthetic routes to rapidly assemble substituted carbocycles and heterocycles found in a plethora of bioactive molecules. Harnessing the advantages of dearomatization typically requires vigorous reagents because of the difficulty in disrupting the stable aromatic core. A relatively mild dearomatization strategy is described that employs lithiated nitriles or isocyanides in a simple SNAr-type addition to form σ-complexes that are trapped by alkylation. The dearomatizations are diastereoselective and efficient and rapidly install two new carbon-carbon bonds, one of which is a quaternary center, as well as nitrile, isocyanide, and cyclohexadiene functionalities.

Abstract
We report the design and development of a transition-metal-free cross-coupling reaction of phenols and primary amines using a simple and readily available multifunctional reagent. The reactions work by induced proximity and electronic activation of both the nucleophile and the electrophile for net dehydrative C-N coupling reactions. Notably, the reactions do not involve the use of a transition metal for C-N bond formation, preactivation of the phenol electrophile, or exclusion of air or moisture. The mild conditions tolerate a broad range of functional groups and allow for this to be applied to the late-stage functionalization of complex substrates with a wide scope of coupling partners.

Abstract
Dechlorination of chloropyridines can eliminate their detrimental environmental effects. However, traditional dechlorination technology cannot efficiently break the C-Cl bond of chloropyridines, which is restricted by the uncontrollable nonselective species. Hence, we propose the carbonate species-activated hydrogen peroxide (carbonate species/H2O2) process wherein the selective oxidant (peroxymonocarbonate ion, HCO4-) and selective reductant (hydroperoxide anion, HO2-) controllably coexist by manipulation of reaction pH. Taking 2-chloropyridine (Cl-Py) as an example, HCO4- first induces Cl-Py into pyridine N-oxidation intermediates, which then suffer from the nucleophilic dechlorination by HO2-. The obtained dechlorination efficiencies in the carbonate species/H2O2 process (32.5-84.5%) based on the cooperation of HCO4- and HO2- are significantly higher than those in the HO2--mediated sodium hydroxide/hydrogen peroxide process (0-43.8%). Theoretical calculations confirm that pyridine N-oxidation of Cl-Py can effectively lower the energy barrier of the dechlorination process. Moreover, the carbonate species/H2O2 process exhibits superior anti-interference performance and low electric energy consumption. Furthermore, Cl-Py is completely detoxified via the carbonate species/H2O2 process. More importantly, the carbonate species/H2O2 process is applicable for efficient dehalogenation of halogenated pyridines and pyrazines. This work offers a simple and useful strategy to enhance the dehalogenation efficiency of halogenated organics and sheds new insights into the application of the carbonate species/H2O2 process in practical environmental remediation.

Abstract
A noncovalent organocatalytic concerted addition of phenol to glycal is developed for the stereoselective and regioselective construction of biologically important phenolic 2-deoxyglycosides, featuring wide substrate tolerance. The method relies on an anion-bridged dual hydrogen bond interaction which is experimentally proved by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Ultraviolet and visible (UV-vis), and fluorescence analysis. Experimental evidence including kinetic analysis, Kinetic Isotope Effect (KIE) studies, linear free energy relationship, Hammett plot, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations is provided for a concerted mechanism where a high-energy oxocarbenium ion is not formed. In addition, the potential utility of this method is further demonstrated by the synthesis of biologically active glycosylated flavones. The benchmarking studies demonstrate significant advances in this newly developed method compared to previous approaches.

Abstract
In this study, we delve into the regioselectivity of nucleophilic reactions involving brominated perylene bisimides (PBIs) and various bidentate aryloxide anions, previously associated with an SRN1 mechanism. We present herein a new perspective, suggesting that a single-electron-transfer aromatic nucleophilic substitution (SeT-SNAr) mechanism is a more plausible scenario. Our study reveals the favorable impact of photostimulation on reaction yields, making our method a convenient approach for accessing O-arylated PBIs.

Abstract
We disclose the features of a category of reversible nucleophilic aromatic substitutions in view of their significance and generality in dynamic aromatic chemistry. Exchange of sulfur components surrounding arenes and heteroarenes may occur at 25 °C, in a process that one may call a "sulfur dance". These SN Ar systems present their own features, apart from common reversible reactions utilized in dynamic covalent chemistry (DCC). By varying conditions, covalent dynamics may operate to provide libraries of thiaarenes with some selectivity, or conversion of a hexa(thio)benzene asterisk into another one. The reversible nature of SN Ar is confirmed by three methods: a convergence of the products distribution in reversible SN Ar systems, a related product redistribution between two per(thio)benzenes by using a thiolate promoter, and from kinetic/thermodynamic data. A four-component dynamic covalent system further illustrates the thermodynamically-driven formation of a thiacalix[2]arene[2]pyrimidine by sulfur component exchanges. This work stimulates the implementation of reversible SN Ar in aromatic chemistry and in DCC.

Abstract
Anilines are potentially high-value arylating agents, but are limited by the low reactivity of the strong C-N bond. We show that the reactive intermediate benzyne can be used to both activate anilines, and set-up an aryl transfer reaction in a single step. The reaction does not require any transition metal catalysts or stoichiometric organometallics, and establishes a metal-free route to valuable biaryl products by functionalizing the aniline C-N bond.

Abstract
Much progress has been made in the development of methods to both create compounds that contain C-F bonds and to functionalize C-F bonds. As such, C-F bonds are becoming common and versatile synthetic functional handles. This review summarizes the advantages of defluorinative functionalization reactions for small molecule synthesis. The coverage is organized by the type of carbon framework the fluorine is attached to for mono- and polyfluorinated motifs. The main challenges, opportunities and advances of defluorinative functionalization are discussed for each class of organofluorine. Most of the text focuses on case studies that illustrate how defluorofunctionalization can improve routes to synthetic targets or how the properties of C-F bonds enable unique mechanisms and reactions. The broader goal is to showcase the opportunities for incorporating and exploiting C-F bonds in the design of synthetic routes, improvement of specific reactions and advent of new methods.

Abstract
A novel tandem method to synthesize 2-azaaryl indoline promoted by LiN(SiMe3)2 from 2-azaaryl methyl amine and 2-fluoro benzyl bromides was developed. Mechanistic investigation indicated that this tandem cyclization was initiated by selective benzyl C-SN2 substitution followed by an intramolecular SNAr reaction. Diverse 2-azaaryl indoles could also be obtained via simple functional transformations.

Abstract
The use of nanomaterials in drug delivery has gained significant attention in recent years. In this project, we developed a novel localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) nanoprobe on single gold triangular nanoplates (AuNTs) for dynamic monitoring of the drug carrier release process. Graphene, as the drug carrier, could be immobilized on the AuNT surface through the π-π* stacking effect. Upon loading or releasing the model drug (doxorubicin, DOX), subtle changes in the local microenvironment's dielectric constant around the AuNTs induced notable red-shifts or blue-shifts in the LSPR scattering spectra of single AuNTs. Furthermore, the spectral shifts led to a continuous enhancement in the red channel of the dark field microscopy (DFM) images during the drug release process in vitro, demonstrating that the drug release system is not susceptible to potential confounding factors. These release kinetics results under different conditions could be well-fitted using the Higuchi desorption model, further proving that this nanoprobe could be employed for evaluating the controlled release ability of 2D nanocarriers. These findings are expected to inspire new ideas and technologies in the preparation of more effective drug carriers, making a significant contribution to the development of drug delivery nanosystems and nanomedicine.

Abstract
The HBr-assisted electrophilic aromatic bromination of benzene, anisole and nitrobenzene was investigated using static DFT calculations in gas phase and implicit apolar (CCl4) and polar (acetonitrile) solvent models at the ωB97X-D/cc-pVTZ level of theory. The reaction profiles corresponding to either a direct substitution reaction or an addition-elimination process were constructed and insight into the preferred regioselectivity was provided using a combination of conceptual DFT reactivity indices, aromaticity indices, Wiberg bond indices and the non-covalent interaction index. Our results show that under the considered reaction conditions the bromination reaction preferentially occurs through an addition-elimination mechanism and without formation of a stable charged Wheland intermediate. The ortho/para directing effect of the electron-donating methoxy-group in anisole was ascribed to a synergy between strong electron delocalisation and attractive interactions. In contrast, the preferred meta-addition on nitrobenzene could not be traced back to any of these effects, nor to the intrinsic reactivity property of the reactant. In this case, an electrostatic clash between the ipso-carbon of the ring and the nitrogen atom resulting from the later nature of the rate-determining step, with respect to anisole, appeared to play a crucial role.

Abstract
Direct C-H fluorination is an efficient strategy to construct aromatic C-F bonds, but the cleavage of specific C-H bonds in the presence of other functional groups and the high barrier of C-F bond formation make the transformation challenging. Progress for the electrophilic fluorination of arenes has been reported, but a similar transformation for electron-deficient azaarenes has remained elusive due to the high energy of the corresponding Wheland intermediates. Nucleophilic fluorination of electron-deficient azaarenes is difficult owing to the identity of the Meisenheimer intermediate after fluoride attack, from which fluoride elimination to regenerate the substrate is favored over hydride elimination to form the product. Herein, we report a new concept for C-H nucleophilic fluorination without the formation of azaarene Meisenheimer intermediates through a chain process with an asynchronous concerted F--e--H+ transfer. The concerted nucleophilic aromatic substitution strategy allows for the first successful nucleophilic oxidative fluorination of quinolines.

Abstract
A one-pot cascade reaction for 2,3-dihydropyridinone synthesis was accomplished with 3-fluoro-2-iodo-1-methylpyridinium triflate as the halogen bond catalyst. The desired [4+2] cycloaddition products, bearing aryl, heteroaryl, alkyl, and alicyclic substituents, were successfully furnished in 28-99% yields. Mechanistic investigations proved that a strong halogen-bonding interaction forged between the iodopyridinium catalyst and imine intermediate was essential to dynamically masking the vulnerable C-I bond on the catalyst and accelerating the following aza-Diels-Alder reaction.

Abstract
Sulfonyl fluorides have emerged as powerful tools in chemical biology for the selective labelling of proteins. A photocatalytic method is described for the conversion of aryl diazonium salts to aryl sulfonyl fluorides. The diazonium substrates are easily obtained in one step from functionalized anilines. We present the optimization of this mild method for the synthesis of sulfonyl fluorides, the scope of the transformation with a series of functionalized diazonium salts, and we discuss photophysical measurements that provide detailed information about the mechanism of the photochemical process.

Abstract
The aim of this essay is to disclose the similarity of a great variety of reactions that proceed between nucleophiles and π-electrophiles-both aromatic and aliphatic. These reactions proceed via initial reversible addition, followed by a variety of transformations that are common for the adducts of both aliphatic and aromatic electrophiles. We hope that understanding of this analogy should help to expand the scope of the known reactions and inspire the search for new reactions that were overlooked.

Abstract
Although the cross-couplings of aryl halides with diarylmethanes are mostly achieved by transition-metal catalysis, aryl fluorides are rarely used as coupling partners owing to the high inertness of C-F bonds. Herein, we describe the efficient silylboronate-mediated cross-coupling reaction of aryl fluorides with arylalkanes under transition-metal-free, room-temperature conditions. The combination of silylboronate and KO t Bu is critical for driving a radical process via the cleavage of C-F and C-H bonds in two appropriate coupling precursors, resulting in a cross-coupling product. This practical cross-coupling protocol is applicable to a wide variety of aryl fluorides with a C(sp2)-F bond. This method can be extended to other coupling partners with a C(sp3)-H bond, including diarylmethanes, diarylethanes, and monoarylalkanes. Many di- and triarylalkanes with tertiary or quaternary carbon centers can be obtained easily in moderate to high yields. We believe that the developed silylboronate-mediated cross-coupling method is a valuable contribution to C-F and C-H activation chemistry.

Abstract
Sulfonated-polychlorinated biphenyls (sulfonated-PCBs) are a newly discovered class of PCB metabolites. They were observed for the first time in polar bear serum and lately, in soil, together with hydroxy-sulfonated-PCBs. Their presence is ubiquitous in soils, and their estimated physical chemical properties show high mobility in water, compared to the parent compounds. However, no single pure standards exist so far and therefore their quantification in the environmental matrices is not accurate. Additionally, pure standards are needed to experimentally determine their physical chemical properties, as well as the ecotoxicological and toxicological characteristics. In the present work, the challenging goal of preparing a polychlorinated biphenyl monosulfonic acid was achieved exploring different synthetic approaches, along which the selection of the starting material resulted in a crucial point. Using PCB-153 (2,2'-4,4'-5,5'-hexachloro-1,1'-biphenyl) the synthesis afforded, as the major species, a side compound. On the contrary, the use of PCB-155 (2,2'-4,4'-6,6'-hexachloro-1,1'-biphenyl), a symmetric hexachlorobiphenyl derivative showing chlorine atoms at all the ortho positions, gave the target sulfonated-PCB compound. In this case, sulfonation was successfully carried out through a two-step procedure, involving chlorosulfonylation and the subsequent hydrolysis of the chlorosulfonyl intermediate.

Abstract
A one-step method for the conversion of nitroarenes into phenols under operationally simple, transition-metal-free conditions is described. This denitrative functionalization protocol provides a concise and economical alternative to conventional three-step synthetic sequences. Experimental and computational studies suggest that nitroarenes may be substituted by an electron-catalysed radical-nucleophilic substitution (SRN 1) chain mechanism.

Abstract
Carbenes, once considered laboratory curiosities, now serve as powerful tools in the chemical and material sciences. To date, all stable singlet carbenes are single-site ambiphiles. Here we describe the synthesis of a carbene which is a carbon-based dual ambiphile (both single-site and dual-site). The key is to employ imino substituents derived from a cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene (CAAC), which imparts a 1,3-dipolar character to the carbene. Its dual ambiphilic nature is consistent with the ability to activate simple organic molecules in both 1,1- and 1,3-fashion. Furthermore, its 1,3-ambiphilicity facilitates an unprecedented reversible intramolecular dearomative [3 + 2] cycloaddition with a proximal arene substituent, giving the carbene the ability to "mask" itself as an air-stable cycloadduct. We perceive that the concept of dual ambiphilicity opens a new dimension for future carbene chemistry, expanding the repertoire of applications beyond that known for classical single-site ambiphilic carbenes.

Abstract
We report a new method for the synthesis of nitrogen-doped (N-doped) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by a Suzuki coupling/intramolecular SNAr cascade reaction. A one- or two-fold [3 + 3] naphtho-annulation of halogenated aniline was conducted under Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling conditions to yield a series of fully fused N-doped PAHs. In contrast to reported methods to synthesize pyridinic or pyrrolic nitrogen-doped PAHs, our method enables preparation of PAHs doped with graphitic nitrogen, for which few reports are known in the literature. The crystal structure as well as absorption, fluorescence and electrochemical properties of these N-doped PAHs were investigated, which demonstrated the capability of N-doping to adjust optical and electronic properties and alter the LUMO energy level.

Abstract
Chemical recycling of polymers is critical for improving the circular economy of plastics and environmental sustainability. Traditional thermoset polymers have generally been considered permanently crosslinked materials that are difficult or impossible to recycle. Herein, we demonstrate that by activating 'dormant' covalent bonds, traditional polycyanurate thermosets can be recycled into the original monomers, which can be circularly reused for their original purpose. Through retrosynthetic analysis, we redirected the synthetic route from forming conventional C-N bonds via irreversible cyanate trimerization to forming the C-O bonds through reversible nucleophilic aromatic substitution of alkoxy-substituted triazine derivatives by alcohol nucleophiles. The new reversible synthetic route enabled the synthesis of previously inaccessible alkyl-polycyanurate thermosets, which exhibit excellent film properties with high chemical resistance, closed-loop recyclability and reprocessing capability. These results show that 'apparently dormant' dynamic linkages can be activated and utilized to construct fully recyclable thermoset polymers with a broader monomer scope and increased sustainability.

Abstract
While heteroatom-centered radicals are understood to be highly electrophilic, their ability to serve as transient electron-withdrawing groups and facilitate polar reactions at distal sites has not been extensively developed. Here, we report a new strategy for the electronic activation of halophenols, wherein generation of a phenoxyl radical via formal homolysis of the aryl O-H bond enables direct nucleophilic aromatic substitution of the halide with carboxylate nucleophiles under mild conditions. Pulse radiolysis and transient absorption studies reveal that the neutral oxygen radical (O•) is indeed an extraordinarily strong electron-withdrawing group [σp-(O•) = 2.79 vs σp-(NO2) = 1.27]. Additional mechanistic and computational studies indicate that the key phenoxyl intermediate serves as an open-shell electron-withdrawing group in these reactions, lowering the barrier for nucleophilic substitution by more than 20 kcal/mol relative to the closed-shell phenol form of the substrate. By using radicals as transient activating groups, this homolysis-enabled electronic activation strategy provides a powerful platform to expand the scope of nucleophile-electrophile couplings and enable previously challenging transformations.

Abstract
We report a multivariate linear regression model able to make accurate predictions for the relative rate and regioselectivity of nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) reactions based on the electrophile structure. This model uses a diverse training/test set from experimentally-determined relative SNAr rates between benzyl alcohol and 74 unique electrophiles, including heterocycles with multiple substitution patterns. There is a robust linear relationship between the experimental SNAr free energies of activation and three molecular descriptors that can be obtained computationally: the electron affinity (EA) of the electrophile; the average molecular electrostatic potential (ESP) at the carbon undergoing substitution; and the sum of average ESP values for the ortho and para atoms relative to the reactive center. Despite using only simple descriptors calculated from ground state wavefunctions, this model demonstrates excellent correlation with previously measured SNAr reaction rates, and is able to accurately predict site selectivity for multihalogenated substrates: 91% prediction accuracy across 82 individual examples. The excellent agreement between predicted and experimental outcomes makes this easy-to-implement reactivity model a potentially powerful tool for synthetic planning.

Abstract
Heteroaryl sulfoxides are an integral part of several bioactive molecules and pharmaceuticals. We have described a transition-metal-free route for the direct sulfinylation of 2-halobenzothiazoles and 2-halobenzimidazoles using β-sulfinyl esters as the source of the sulfenate ion in the presence of a Brønsted base such as LiOtBu, and the corresponding heteroaryl sulfoxides were isolated in yields of 30 to 94%. Moreover, we hypothesized a plausible concerted nucleophilic aromatic substitution (cSNAr) pathway for the direct incorporation of sulfinyl functionality into the 2-haloheteroarenes.

Abstract
The preparation, structure, physical properties, and reactivities of sodium isopropyl(trimethylsilyl)amide (NaPTA) are described. The solubilities at room temperature range from n-heptane (0.55 M), n-hexane (0.60 M), toluene (0.65 M), MTBE (1.7 M), Et3N (3.2 M), and THF (>6.0 M). The half-life to destruction in neat THF is >1 year at 25 °C and 7 days at 70 °C, which compares favorably to 2.5 months and 1.5 days, respectively, for LDA in neat THF. This study focuses on NaPTA in THF. 29Si NMR spectroscopy shows exclusively a mixture of cis and trans stereoisomeric dimers in 0.10-12 M THF in hexane. Density functional theory (DFT) computations suggest that the pKb is intermediate between dimeric sodium diisopropylamide (NaDA) and dimeric sodium hexamethyldisilazide (NaHMDS). Metalations of arenes, epoxides, ketones, hydrazones, alkenes, and alkyl halides show higher reactivities than LDA (kNaPTA/LDA = 1-30). While the rates of arene metalation are high, the lower pKb of NaPTA limits the substrates. Metalation of pseudoephedrate-based carboxamides to form disodiated Myers enolates solves several challenging technical problems.

Abstract
![]()
The branched-chain
amino acid transaminases (BCATs) are
enzymes
that catalyze the first reaction of catabolism of the essential branched-chain
amino acids to branched-chain keto acids to form glutamate. They are
known to play a key role in different cancer types. Here, we report
a new structural class of BCAT1/2 inhibitors, (trifluoromethyl)pyrimidinediones,
identified by a high-throughput screening campaign and subsequent
optimization guided by a series of X-ray crystal structures. Our potent
dual BCAT1/2 inhibitor BAY-069 displays high cellular activity and
very good selectivity. Along with a negative control (BAY-771), BAY-069
was donated as a chemical probe to the Structural Genomics Consortium.

Abstract
A successful DNA-encoded library (DEL) will consist of diverse skeletons and cover chemical space as comprehensive as possible to fully realize its potential in drug discovery and chemical biology. However, the lack of versatile on-DNA arylation methods for phenols that are less nucleophilic and reactive poses a great hurdle for DEL to include diaryl ether, a privileged chemotype in pharmaceuticals and natural products. This work describes the use of "substrate activation" approach to address the arylation of DNA-conjugated phenols. Diaryliodonium salt, a highly electrophilic and reactive arylation reagent, is employed as Ar+ sources to ensure highly selective on-DNA arylation of phenols and oximes with both high yields and DNA fidelity. Notably, the new on-DNA arylation reaction can be applied to the late-stage modification of peptides containing tyrosine side-chain and to synthesize DNA-tagged analogues of existing drug molecules such as sorafenib, a known pan-kinase inhibitor. The new on-DNA diaryliodonium salts chemistry affords a greater flexibility in DEL design and synthesis.

Abstract
Nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) reactions of non-activated aryl fluorides with amide enolates are reported. The reaction proceeds under relatively mild reaction conditions. Lactams also participate in the reaction to give 2-arylated lactams. DFT calculations suggest that the reaction proceeds through a concerted SNAr pathway.

Abstract
A mechanistic investigation into the amination of electron-neutral and electron-rich arenes using organic photoredox catalysis is presented. Kinetic and computational data support rate-limiting nucleophilic addition into an arene cation radical using both azole and primary amine nucleophiles. This finding is consistent with both fluoride and alkoxide nucleofuges, supporting a unified mechanistic picture using cation radical accelerated nucleophilic aromatic substitution (CRA-SNAr). Electrochemistry and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy confirm the key role solvents play in enabling selective arene oxidation in the presence of amines. The synthetic limitations of xanthylium salts are elucidated via photophysical studies. An alternative catalyst scaffold with improved turnover numbers is presented.

Abstract

The first example
of an aromatic haloform reaction is reported,
defining a conceptually new haloform-type approach to the metal-free
functionalization of arenes. We demonstrated that heteroarenes bearing
a vinylogous nitromethane system, via the stage of a trichloromethane
derivative, could undergo aromatic amination to produce N-functionalized
arenes in quantitative yields and without the need for transition-metal
catalysis. The haloform-type amination was implemented in the development
of effective orthogonal N-protection strategies, establishing a new
promising N-protecting reagent.

Abstract
The asymmetric synthesis of heavily substituted benzylic stereogenic centers, prevalent in natural products, therapeutics, agrochemicals, and catalysts, is an ongoing challenge. In this Account, we outline our contribution to this endeavor, describing our discovery of a series of new reactions that not only have synthetic applicability but also present significant mechanistic intrigue. The story originated from our longstanding interest in the stereochemistry and reactivity of functionalized organolithiums. While investigating the lithiation chemistry of ureas (a "Cinderella" sister of the more established amides and carbamates), we noted an unexpected Truce-Smiles (T-S) rearrangement involving the 1,4-N → C transposition of a urea N'-aryl group to the α-carbanion of an adjacent N-benzyl group. Despite this reaction formally constituting an SNAr substitution, we found it to be remarkably tolerant of the electronic properties of the migrating aryl substituent and the degree of substitution at the carbanion. Moreover, in contrast to classical SNAr reactions, the rearrangement was sufficiently rapid that it took place under conditions compatible with configurational stability in an organolithium intermediate, enabling enantiospecific arylation at benzylic stereogenic centers. Experimental and computational studies confirmed a low kinetic barrier to the aryl migration arising from the strong preference for a trans arrangement of the urea N'-aryl and carbonyl groups, populating a reactive conformer in which spatial proximity was enforced between the carbanion and N'-aryl group, hugely accelerating ipso-substitution.This discovery led us to uncover a whole series of conformationally accelerated intramolecular N → C aryl transfers using different anilide-based functional groups, including a diverse range of urea, carbamate, and thiocarbamate-substituted anions. Products included enantioenriched α-tertiary amines (including α-arylated N-heterocycles) and alcohols, as well as rare α-tertiary thiols. Synthetically challenging diarylated centers with differentiated aryl groups featured heavily in all product sets. The absolute enantiospecificity (retention versus inversion) of the reaction was dependent on the heteroatom α to the lithiation site: the origin of this stereodivergence was probed both experimentally and computationally. Asymmetric variants of the rearrangement were realized by enantioselective deprotonation, and connective strategies were developed in which an intermolecular C-C bond-forming event preceded the anionic rearrangement. Substrates where the N'-nucleofuge (at the aryl ipso position) was tethered to the migrating arene allowed us to use the rearrangement as a ring expansion method to generate 8- to 12-membered medium-ring N-heterocycles from very simple precursors. Stabilized carbon nucleophiles such as alkali metal enolates also readily promoted intramolecular N → C aryl transfer in N'-arylureas, opening up access to biologically relevant hydantoins, and enabling a "chiral memory" approach for the (hetero)arylation of chiral α-amino acids with programmable retention or inversion of configuration. Collectively, our studies of electronically versatile T-S rearrangements in anilide-based systems have culminated in a practical and general strategy for transition metal-free C(sp3)-arylation. More broadly, our results highlight the power of conformational activation to achieve unprecedented reactivity in the construction of challenging C-C bonds.

Abstract
Abstract
A computational study of the chemical kinetics and thermodynamics study of the SNAr between 3,5-dinitroethoxypyridine 1a and 3,5-dinitromethoxypyridine 1b with piperidine 2 in the gas phase is reported using hybrid density functional theory method B3PW91 and 6–31G(d,p) basis set. The reaction was modeled via both the catalyzed and base-catalyzed pathways which proceeded with the initial attack of the nucleophile 2 on the substrates 1 to yield the Meisenheimer complex intermediate that is stabilized with hydrogen bonding. Calculations show that the reaction goes via the formation and decomposition of a Meisenheimer complex, which was observed to be stabilized by hydrogen bonding. Along the uncatalyzed pathway, the decomposition of the Meisenheimer complex was the slow step and requires about 28 kcal/mol. This barrier was reduced to about 14.8 kcal/mol with the intervention of the base catalyst, thus making the formation of the Meisenheimer complex rate determining. All reactions were calculated to be exothermic, about −6.5 kcal/mol and −0.6 kcal/mol, respectively, for the reaction of 1a and 1b with 2.

Abstract
Herein, a density functional theory (DFT) study was performed to investigate thoroughly the cascade reaction mechanism for the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to methanol catalyzed by ruthenium pincer complex [RuH2(Me2PCH2SiMe2)2NH(CO)]. Three catalytic stages involving the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide (stage I), formic acid (stage II) and formaldehyde (stage III) were studied. The calculated results show that the dominant H2 activation strategy in the hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol may not be the methanol-assisted H2 activation, but the formate-assisted H2 activation. In this cascade reaction, all energy spans of stage I, II and III are 20.2 kcal mol-1 of the formate-assisted H2 activation. This implies that it could occur under mild conditions. Meanwhile, the catalyst is proposed to be efficient for the transfer hydrogenation using isopropanol as the hydrogen resource, and the ruthenium pincer complexes [RuH2(Me2PCH2SiMe2)2NH(CO)], [RuH2(Ph2PCH2SiMe2)2NH(CO)] and [RuH2(Me2PCH2SiMe2)2NH(CO)] exhibit similar catalytic activities for the hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol.

Abstract
SignificanceChlorination reactions are widely applied in organic synthesis, with aryl chlorides being key intermediates in the synthesis of many pharmaceutical products. Here, we demonstrate that waste materials such as chlorophenol pollutants can be valorized as chlorination reagents via catalytic transfer of the chloro group during their mineralization for the generation of valuable aryl chlorides. This process adds value to the destruction of chlorophenol pollutants, and the concept could potentially be extended to the valorization of other classes of stockpiles awaiting mineralization.
