Catalyst-Free Intermolecular Sulfonyl/Fluoromethyl Heteroarylation of Vinyl Ethers via Visible-Light-Induced Charge Transfer

We report a visible-light-induced three-component sulfonyl-heteroarylation of vinyl ethers with sulfinates and five-membered heteroaryl chlorides. This protocol proceeds via electron-donor-acceptor (EDA) complexes between sulfinates and heteroaryl chlorides, giving β-sulfonyl alkyl five-membered heteroarenes with high efficiency and excellent regioselectivity under mild and catalyst-free conditions. Utilization of CF₃SO₂Na or CF₂HSO₂Na as coupling partners further achieves three-component fluoromethyl-arylation of vinyl ethers, furnishing a series of valuable CF₃/CF₂H-incorporated alkyl heterocycles under mild conditions.     

Relaxor-like dielectric behavior and its effect on energy storage performance in P(TFE-HFP-VDF) terpolymers

Capacitors are critical components in many advanced electronic and electrical systems,such as pulse power systems,due to their fast charging-discharging speed and high power density[1-4].The ever-increasing demand for compact energy storage devices requires the dielectrics,which are the energy storage materials in capacitors,to have a higher energy density and low dielectric loss[2,3].Furthermore,a stable high-temperature performance is another important parameter to be considered for some applications in which high-temperature conditions are present,such as hybrid vehicles[4-7].

Chiral P,N‐ligands for the highly enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aromatic aldehydes

A new sterically hindered chiral P,N‐ligand was synthesized and successfully applied to copper catalyzed asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to aromatic aldehydes. Various aromatic aldehydes can react smoothly to give the corresponding addition products with good to excellent enantioselectivities, which provides a readily accessible method for the preparation of chiral secondary alcohols.
