A novel strategy has been developed for the synthesis of indoline-2,3-diones through a metal-free radical-coupling reaction. Alkyl radicals derived from indolin-2-ones through a radical-transfer reaction combine with the tert-butylhydroperoxy radical readily generated from commercially available tert-butyl hydroperoxide to afford 3-(tert-­butylperoxy)indolin-2-one intermediates that can be further transformed into indoline-2,3-diones under air. This strategy provides a ­simple and efficient route to the construction of a C=O bond without the use of any metal catalyst or base.

An efficient route to meso-β doubly connected fused porphyrin dimers was developed. Synthesis of the dimers incorporated two successive C–C bond-forming steps selectively coupling unsubstituted meso- and β-positions. Using Cu(BF4)2 as an oxidant in nitromethane solvent, the radical coupling of Cu(II) -porphyrins occurred in high yield and without side-products, allowing chromatography-free purification. Efficient demetalation of the product yielded free-base derivatives and the possibility to incorporate other metals into the macrocycles. The absorption and electrochemical properties vary with the inserted metal, showing broad UV-visible-NIR absorption and multiple one-electron oxidations/reductions in a relatively narrow electrochemical window.

Carbon monoxide is a unique reducing agent that is only gaining popularity in organic chemistry. This review highlights the main approaches to the application of CO as a reducing agent, summarizes and critically analyzes the key trends in this field, and describes the current development prospects. Potentially the most selective and efficient route for the realization of these processes is demonstrated.

AbstractPalladium nanowires have been electrodeposited into mesoporous silica thin film templates. Palladium continually grows and fills silica mesopores starting from a bottom conductive substrate, providing a ready and efficient route to fabricate a macroscopic palladium nanowire thin films for potentially use in fuel cells, electrodes, sensors, and other applications. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) indicate it is possible to create different nanowire morphology such as bundles and swirling mesostructure based on the template pore structure.

Lignin is an abundant biopolymer important for plant function while holding promise as a renewable source of valuable chemicals. Although the lignification process in plant cell walls has been long-studied, a comprehensive, mechanistic understanding on the molecular scale remains elusive. A better understanding of lignification will lead to improved atomistic models of the plant cell wall that could, in turn, inform effective strategies for biomass valorization. Here, using first-principles quantum chemical calculations, we show that a simple model of kinetically-controlled radical coupling broadly rationalizes qualitative experimental observations of lignin structure across a wide variety of biomass types, thus paving the way for predictive, first-principles models of lignification while highlighting the ability of computational chemistry to help illuminate complex biological processes.

Here we report a greener approach for the synthesis of enamines from enols of 1,3-alkyl-2- thioxodihydropyrimidine-4,6(1H,5H)-dione (thiobarbituric acid) acid using ammonium chloride and ethanol as solvents. This protocol removes the need for catalysts or harsh conditions.
