Photohomolysis and Photoionization of Substituted Tetraphenylethanes and C-C Fragmentation of 1,1,2,2-Tetra(p-R-phenyl)ethane Radical Cations (R=H, CH3, OCH3, Cl)
摘要:
On photolysis of a series of tetraphenylethanes in 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) solution with 248 nm light, homolysis of the central C-C bond occurs to yield the corresponding substituted diphenylmethyl radicals, in a process requiring one quantum of light. A second process takes place under conditions of high photon fluxes, namely biphotonic photoionization to produce a radical cation, which subsequently undergoes efficient C-C scission of the aliphatic central bond to yield the radical and carbocation fragments. Photoionization and photohomolysis are the preferred processes of excited state deactivation in the solvents acetonitrile, TFE, and 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol. The lifetime of the radical cation could be directly determined by following the formation rates of the fragments in solution. The cations were characterized by their UV absorption spectra and electrophilic reactivities.

Facile reductive coupling of benzylic halides is reported with ferrous oxalate dihydrate in DMF or HMPA under nitrogen atmosphere at 155–160 °C. The coupling is proposed to proceed by two successive oxidative additions of benzylic halides to ferrous oxalate to give an intermediate organoiron complex which undergoes concerted dimerization to give the corresponding reductively coupled dimers in high yields.

The nanosecond electronic spectra and kinetics of the radical pairs from various crystalline tetraarylacetones were obtained using transmission laser flashphotolysis methods by taking advantage of aqueous nanocrystalline suspensions in the presence of submicellar CTAB, which acts as a surface passivator. After showing that all tetraarylacetones react efficiently by a photodecarbonylation reaction
Titanium‐catalyzed dehydroxylative dimerization of benzylic alcohols using isopropyl alcohol as a reductant has been realized by photoirradiation. The key step is photohomolysis of the Ti−O bond, which enables the utilization of isopropyl alcohol as a hydrogen‐atom donor. The reaction can also proceed under visible‐light irradiation in the presence of thioglycolic acid as a ligand.

Traditional cross-couplings catalyzed by transitionmetal catalysts generally rely on the classic oxidative addition–transmetalation–reductive elimination process, which requires low-valent precious metals and an inert atmosphere and which initiates from carbon–alide or pesudo carbon–halide bonds. Herein, an unprecedented molybdenum–oxo-complex-catalyzed intermolecular cross-coupling of benzyl alcohols
