Abstract
A simple and effective organolithium approach to the synthesis of 2-substituted benzo[cd]indoles from peri-dihalonaphthalenes and nitriles has been developed. The reaction proceeds via a surprisingly easy intramolecular aromatic nucleophilic substitution facilitated by the "clothespin effect". The discovered transformation provides good isolated yields, allows usage of an extensive range of nitriles, and demonstrates a good substituents tolerance. UV-absorption and NMR spectra of the obtained benzo[cd]indoles and their protonated forms demonstrated exclusive protonation to the indole nitrogen atom even in the presence of two NMe2 groups in positions 5 and 6 (i. e. "proton sponge" moiety).

Abstract
One-pot reductive N,N-dimethylation of suitable nitro- and amino-substituted (hetero)arenes can be achieved using a DMSO/HCOOH/Et3N system acting as a low-cost but efficient reducing and methylating agent. The transformation of heteroaryl-amines can be accelerated by using dimethyl sulfoxide/oxalyl chloride or chloromethyl methyl sulfide as the source of active CH3SCH2+ species, while the exclusion of HCOOH in the initial stage of the reaction allows avoiding N-formamides as resting intermediates. The developed procedures are applicable in multigram-scale synthesis, and because of the lower electrophilicity of CH3SCH2+, they also work in pathological cases, where common methylating agents provide N,N-dimethylated products in no yield or inferior yields due to concomitant side reactions. The method is particularly useful in one-pot reductive transformation of 2-H-nitrobenzazoles to corresponding N,N-dimethylamino-substituted heteroarenes. These, upon Cu(II)-catalyzed oxidative homocoupling, afford 2,2'-bibenzazoles substituted with dimethylamino groups as charge-transfer N^N ligands with intensive absorption/emission in the visible region. The fluorescence of NMe2-functionalized bibenzothiazoles remains intensive even upon complexation with ZnCl2, while emission maxima are bathochromically shifted from the green/yellow to orange/red spectral region, making these small-molecule fluorophores, exhibiting large emission quantum yields and Stokes shifts, an attractive platform for the construction of various functional dyes and light-harvesting materials with tunable emission color upon complexation.

Manipulating electron transfer – the influence of substituents on novel copper guanidine quinolinyl complexes. Chem Sci 2022; 13:8274-8288.

Abstract
Copper guanidine quinolinyl complexes act as good entatic state models due to their distorted structures leading to a high similarity between Cu(i) and Cu(ii) complexes. For a better understanding of the entatic state principle regarding electron transfer a series of guanidine quinolinyl ligands with different substituents in the 2- and 4-position were synthesized to examine the influence on the electron transfer properties of the corresponding copper complexes. Substituents with different steric or electronic influences were chosen. The effects on the properties of the copper complexes were studied applying different experimental and theoretical methods. The molecular structures of the bis(chelate) copper complexes were examined in the solid state by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and in solution by X-ray absorption spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealing a significant impact of the substituents on the complex structures. For a better insight natural bond orbital (NBO) calculations of the ligands and copper complexes were performed. The electron transfer was analysed by the determination of the electron self-exchange rates following Marcus theory. The obtained results were correlated with the results of the structural analysis of the complexes and of the NBO calculations. Nelsen's four-point method calculations give a deeper understanding of the thermodynamic properties of the electron transfer. These studies reveal a significant impact of the substituents on the properties of the copper complexes. Copper guanidine quinolinyl complexes act as good entatic state models for the electron transfer due to a high similarity between the corresponding Cu(i) and Cu(ii) complexes. The introduction of substituents leads to a further enhancement.![]()
