A palladium/norbornene (NBE)-catalyzed 2-fold C-H/C-X coupling reaction of aryl iodides is reported. Bromine-substituted benzimidazoles were chosen as electrophilic and termination reagents, the versatile polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon products successfully obtained. The strategy overcomes challenge catalyst poisoning by heterocyclic substrates. In addition, imidazole moiety in product endowed with a localization role, thus enabling compounds to be applied wider synthetic scenario, fluorescence persisted. Furthermore, bioactivity evaluation has identified three promising leading 3b, 4e, 4i.

Tetracoordinate boron-based fluorescent materials have shown extensively applications in chemistry, biology and science owing to their unique optoelectronic properties. However, constructing chiral boron-stereogenic fluorophores through practical universal strategies remains rare challenging. Herein, as a proof of concept, we report an enantioselective postfunctionalization boron dipyrromethene dyes (BODIPYs), acess BODIPYs moderate good yields with commendable enantioselectivity. Chiral attracted increasing attention not only distinctively photophysical properties circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) materials, but also diversely structural modification. In this·work, present phase-transfer-catalyst enabled C–N coupling reaction diverse nucleophiles. This method serves SNAr (nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction) route achieve series amido/amino well demonstrates promising CD and·CPL·activities, excellent biocompatibility, high specificities, showing potential imaging agents.
