Traxler, Michael; Gisbertz, Sebastian; Pachfule, Pradip; Schmidt, Johannes; Roeser, Jerome; Reischauer, Susanne; Rabeah, Jabor; Pieber, Bartholomaus; Thomas, Arne published an article in 2022. The article was titled 《Acridine-Functionalized Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) as Photocatalysts for Metallaphotocatalytic C-N Cross-Coupling》, and you may find the article in Angewandte Chemie, International Edition.Formula: C7H4BrN The information in the text is summarized as follows:
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are structurally tuneable, porous and crystalline polymers constructed through the covalent attachment of small organic building blocks as elementary units. Using the myriad of such building blocks, a broad spectrum of functionalities has been applied for COF syntheses for broad applications, including heterogeneous catalysis. Herein, we report the synthesis of a new family of porous and crystalline COFs using a novel acridine linker and benzene-1,3,5-tricarbaldehyde derivatives bearing a variable number of hydroxy groups. With the broad absorption in the visible light region, the COFs were applied as photocatalysts in metallaphotocatalytic C-N cross-coupling. The fully β-ketoenamine linked COF showed the highest activity, due to the increased charge separation upon irradiation The COF showed good to excellent yields for several aryl bromides, good recyclability and even catalyzed the organic transformation in presence of green light as energy source. The results came from multiple reactions, including the reaction of 2-Bromobenzonitrile(cas: 2042-37-7Formula: C7H4BrN)
2-Bromobenzonitrile(cas: 2042-37-7) is a precursor to the quinazolinones, a class of drugs used to treat autoimmune diseases and coronary heart disease. In addition, 2-bromobenzonitrile can be used for the Suzuki coupling reaction.Formula: C7H4BrN
