Rapid Microwave-promoted Base-free Suzuki Coupling Reaction of Sodium Tetraphenylborate with Hypervalent Iodonium Salts in Water

The palladium chloride-catalyzed Suzuki coupling reaction of sodium tetraphenylborate with hypervalent iodonium salts was achieved under microwave irradiation in water without base in excellent yield. A convenient and rapid method for formation of carbon-carbon bonds was afforded.

Reaction of Arylselenium Titanocene Complexes with Diaryl Iodonium Salts——a Convenient Synthesis of Unsymmetrical Diarylselenides

The diaryldiselenides reacted with titanocene hydried （Cp2TiH） generted from Cp2TiCl2/i-BuMgBr to give arylselenium complexes of titanocene. They reacted readily with diaryliodoiums salt to give unsymmetical diarylselenides.

DYE-SENSITIZED PHOTOPOLYMERIZATION OF METHYL METHACRYLATE INITIATED BY COUMARIN DYE/IODONIUM SALT SYSTEM

The photosensitive initiating system composed of 7-diethylamino-3-(2'-benzimidazolyl)coumarin dye (DEDC) and diphenyliodonium hexafluorophosphate (DIHP) which act as the sensitizer and the initiator respectively, can be used to initiate the polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA). The results showed that when exposed to visible light, coumarin dye/iodonium salt undergoes quick electron transfer from DEDC to DIHP and free radicals are produced. The visible light photoinduced reaction between DEDC and DIHP is mainly through the excited singlet state of DEDC and thus it is a little sensitive to O-2. The influence of concentration of DEDC, DIHP and MMA on the rate of photopolymerization of MMA was also investigated.

PHOTOPOLYMERIZATION INITIATED BY DIMETHYLAMINOCHALCONE/DIPHENYLIODONIUM SALT COMBINATION SYSTEM SENSITIVE TO VISIBLE LIGHT

Several dimethylamino-substituted chalcone (i .e. dimethylaminobenzal acetophenone) (DBA) derivatives with intramolecular charge transfer transition character were used as visible light sensitizers for radical photopolymerization initiated by iodonium salt (DPIO). Initiating radical species is produced from DBA sensitized photolysis of DPIO through the single electron transfer, accompanying the bleaching of DBA, The activity of DBA decreases as a function of substituent attached to phenyl ring in the order: DBA-2 (OCH_3) >DBA-1(H)> DBA-3 (Cl). The kinetic study on photopolymerization of MMA was carried out in CH_3CN solution at 30 ℃ by dilatometry. The polymerization rate was determined to be proportional to the concentration with exponents of 0.42, 0.25 and 0.86 for DPIO, DBA-1 and MMA, respectively.

Reduction of diaryldiselenides by the system of Cp2TiCl2/Bu'MgBr/THF gave the nucleophilic arylselenium complex. They reacted with diaryl iodonium salts to afford unsymmetrical diaryl selenides in high yields.

The Pd-catalyzed synthesis of difluoroethyl and difluorovinyl compounds with a chlorodifluoroethyl iodonium salt(CDFI)

Herein, we report a simple and efficient method for the direct installation of chlorodifluoroethyl group onto aromatic molecules of various aromatic amides with a new 2-chloro,2,2-difluoroethyl(mesityl)iodonium salt(CDFI). Moreover, the chlorodifluoroethyl compounds could be smoothly converted into difluorovinyl compounds in a one-pot or discrete procedure and regarded as a steady source of difluorovinyl compounds with “HCl-mask”.
