The linear paired electrolysis was then optimized upon these insights, and a number of electron-rich arenes could be brominated in high yields with excellent regioselectivity. The use of O2 as a sacrificial starting material in combination with 2-ethylanthraquinone as a catalyst leads to the enhanced formation of H2O2 at the cathode, resulting in current efficiencies >150% for a considerable number of examples.","PeriodicalId":57,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Organic Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.354,"publicationDate":"2024-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142321241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite their value, the regioselective synthesis of unsymmetric azoxybenzenes has remained a real challenge in the field. Herein, the product selectivity in oxidative homocoupling of anilines into symmetric azoxybenzenes was first achieved by an asparagine-functionalized CQD catalyst. Subsequently, in the cross-coupling of anilines into the unsymmetric azoxybenzenes via an ortho H-bond acceptor (HBA) on one of the coupling anilines, the regioselectivity was effectively controlled. It was demonstrated that ortho-HBA could mechanistically establish a six-membered intramolecular hydrogen-bonded ring on an <i>N</i>,<i>N</i>′-dihydroxy intermediate. The formed hydrogen bond makes the nearby nitrogen eminently suitable for the slow dehydration step. As a result, the functional oxygen of the azoxy compound is placed far from the HBA. The o-HBA mechanism also controls the regioselectivity ratio in which 1:0 (with an intramolecular H-bonded hexagonal ring), 2:1 (with an intramolecular H-bonded pentagonal ring), and 1:1 (without an ortho-HBA) isomeric mixtures could be achieved. The HBA mechanism was exploited by different substituted anilines, and various unsymmetric azoxybenzenes were synthesized. Finally, with the aid of mechanistic studies, a plausible mechanism for the reaction was proposed.","PeriodicalId":57,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Organic Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.354,"publicationDate":"2024-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142317772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
