Previous experimental work identified 2-iodoanisole as the best precatalyst for oxidative cyclization of N-alkenylamides into 2-oxazolines. Herein, we describe our investigation effect on reaction rate based structure iodoarene precatalyst. We also reveal mechanism DFT modeling and obtain a clear correlation between observed rates computationally derived activation energies different iodoarenes. In addition, rate-limiting step is shown to be substrate that zero order in concentration The found correlate with ease oxidation iodoarene; however, most easily oxidized iodoarenes generate iodine(III) species decompose readily. Finally, loss from cyclized intermediate can proceed by either ligand-coupling or SN2 displacement (reductive elimination), this substrate-dependent.

They excellent surrogates to aryl halides, and moreover they exhibit better reactivity, which allows the corresponding arylation reactions be performed under mild conditions. In past decades, acyclic aryliodoniums widely explored However, unmet need for is improvement of their notoriously low reaction economy because coproduced iodides during often wasted. Cyclic have intrinsic advantage in terms economy, started receive considerable attention due valuable synthetic applications initiate cascade reactions, can enable construction complex structures, including polycycles with potential pharmaceutical functional properties. Here, we summarizing recent advances made research field cyclic aryliodoniums, nascent design aryliodonium species applications.

Laboratory-scale all-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs) have exhibited remarkable power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) exceeding 19%. However, the utilization of hazardous solvents and nonvolatile liquid additives poses challenges for eco-friendly commercialization, resulting in trade-off between device efficiency operation stability. Herein, an innovative approach based on isomerized solid additive engineering is proposed, employing volatile dithienothiophene (DTT) isomers to modulate intermolecular interactions facilitate molecular stacking within photoactive layers. Through elucidating underlying principles DTT-induced polymer assembly level, a PCE 18.72% achieved devices processed with environmentally benign solvents, ranking it among highest record values all-PSCs. Significantly, such superiorities DTT-isomerized strategy afford excellent compatibility large-area blade-coating techniques, offering promising pathway industrial-scale manufacturing Moreover, these demonstrate enhanced thermal stability extrapolated T80 lifetime 14 000 h, further bolstering their potential sustainable technological advancement.

Although halogen‐based additives capable forming non‐covalent bonds with molecules can effectively adjust morphology layer, inner mechanism positional isomerization on crystallization kinetics bulk heterojunction ignored, which hinders further development this technique. Herein, a new additive‐assisted optimization strategy for high‐efficiency OSCs based three isomeric is proposed, have different sites two bromine substituents benzene ring. results demonstrate that symmetrically structured smallest dipole moment, lowest steric hindrance and most uniformly distributed electrostatic potential, form more suitable interactions acceptor, resulting in reasonable molecular spatial distribution better π–π stacking behavior. For other non‐fullerene systems, additive also shows best effect optimizing aggregation stacking.

Catalyst design has traditionally focused on rigid structural elements to prevent conformational flexibility. Ishihara's elegant of conformationally flexible C2-symmetric iodoarenes, a new class privileged organocatalysts, for the catalytic asymmetric dearomatization (CADA) naphthols is notable exception. Despite widespread use Ishihara catalysts CADAs, reaction mechanism remains subject debate, and mode induction not been well established. Here, we report an in-depth computational investigation three possible mechanisms in literature. Our results, however, reveal that this best rationalized by fourth called "proton-transfer-coupled-dearomatization (PTCD)", which predicted be strongly favored over other competing pathways. The PTCD consistent with control experiment further validated applying it rationalize enantioselectivities.
