Abstract
The development of environmentally friendly and safe chemical processes using renewable energy sources is important. In this study, a photoelectrochemical (PEC) cell was used for the tandem bromination of sp3 carbon within a unique two-phase electrolyte system. By incorporation of a RuOx cocatalyst, the Ta3N5 photoelectrode demonstrated a remarkable selectivity for Br2 close to 100%. The kinetic study for charge carriers of photoelectrodes reveals that the improved charge transfer at Ta3N5/RuOx interfaces contributed to excellent photoelectrochemical Br2 evolution activity. The photoelectrochemically produced Br2 was utilized for bromination of α-sp3 carbon in toluene, 1-methylnaphthalene, ethylbenzene, or cyclohexane by the Ta3N5/RuOx photoanode with 100% regioselectivity. The coupling of the Ta3N5 photoanode and InP photocathode generated H2 and Br2 under light illumination without external bias. This study provides systematic insights into the design of photoelectrodes for solar-driven tandem bromination systems within the unique environment of a two-phase electrolyte system.

Abstract
meta-Aminophenols are formed by the action of DBU on 3-amino-2-chlorocyclohex-2-en-1-ones at room temperature in MeCN. The chloro compounds are generated by treating 3-aminocyclohex-2-en-1-ones with the easily prepared halogenating agent BnNMe3·ICl2 in MeOH-CH2Cl2. The amino group must carry two substituents, either two aryl, one aryl and one alkyl, or two alkyl groups; 3-aminocyclohex-2-en-1-ones of this type are readily made from cyclohex-2-en-1-one and a primary or secondary amine.

Abstract
All rate constants for fluorination and enolization are determined.
Fluorine-containing 1,3-dicarbonyl derivatives are essential building blocks for drug discovery and manufacture. To understand the factors that determine selectivity between mono- and di-fluorination of 1,3-dicarbonyl systems, we have performed kinetic studies of keto–enol tautomerism and fluorination processes. Photoketonization of 1,3-diaryl-1,3-dicarbonyl derivatives and their 2-fluoro analogues is coupled with relaxation kinetics to determine enolization rates. Reaction additives such as water accelerate enolization processes, especially of 2-fluoro-1,3-dicarbonyl systems. Kinetic studies of enol fluorination with Selectfluor™ and NFSI reveal the quantitative effects of 2-fluorination upon enol nucleophilicity towards reagents of markedly different electrophilicity. Our findings have important implications for the synthesis of α,α-difluoroketonic compounds, providing valuable quantitative information to aid in the design of fluorination and difluorination reactions.

Abstract
By altering the amount of Selectfluor, the highly selective mono- and difluorination of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds has been achieved, affording a variety of 2-fluoro- and 2,2-difluoro-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds in good to excellent yields. The reaction can be readily performed in aqueous media without any catalyst and base, which features practical and convenient fluorination. Importantly, a gram-scale reaction, transformation of 2-fluoro-1,3-diphenylpropane-1,3-dione to 4-fluoro-1,3,5-triphenyl-1H-pyrazole, and chlorination and bromination of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds are realized to further exhibit its synthetic utility.

Abstract
Two independent samples of the title compound, alternatively 2-chloro-N-(4-methylphenyl)prop-an-amide, C10H12ClNO, 1, were studied using Cu Kα, 1a, and Mo Kα, 1b, radiation as part of a continuous crystallization study. The mol-ecule crystallizes with disorder in the Cl/terminal methyl positions [occupancies for the major disorder component of 0.783 (2) in 1a and and 0.768 (2) in 1b] and exhibits N-C bond lengths of 1.3448 (19), 1.344 (2) Å, C=O bond lengths of 1.2233 (18) and 1.2245 (19) Å and an acetamide moiety C-N-C-C torsion angle of 179.00 (13), 178.97 (14) ° for 1a and 1b, respectively. In the crystal, chains along the a axis are formed via N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between acetamide groups, as well as C-H⋯O inter-actions. These chains arrange themselves into parallel running stacks which display weak C-Cl⋯O=C halogen bonding as well as weak C-H⋯π inter-actions.
