  • Patent number: 10422047
    Abstract: An electrochemical method for C—C coupling a phenol and an aniline in a reaction vessel containing a suitable solvent or solvent mixture and a conductive salt to produce biaryls having both hydroxyl and amino functions, wherein the difference in the oxidation potentials ?E of the substrates ranges from 10 mV to 450 mV and the substrate with the highest oxidation potential is in excess, which method dispenses with multi-step syntheses using metallic reagents.

  • Patent number: 10266955
    Abstract: An electrochemical method for coupling anilines. When coupling two different anilines, the difference of the oxidation potential of the substrates is in the region of between 10 mV to 450 mV, and the aniline with the highest oxidation potential is added in excess. The method allows biaryldiamines to be electrochemically produced, and can avoid the need for multi-step syntheses using metallic reagents.

  • Patent number: 10131607
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing unsymmetric compounds from the group of the m-terphenyls which can be used as unsymmetric OCO pincer ligands, comprising the process steps of a) reacting a first substituted or unsubstituted phenol with a 1,3-disubstituted arene which may likewise be substituted in the 2 and 5 positions to obtain a phenol-arene coupling product and b) optionally protecting the OH group of the phenol-arene coupling product with a protecting group to obtain a protected phenol-arene coupling product, and c) reacting the phenol-arene coupling product from a) or b) with a second substituted or unsubstituted phenol to obtain an unsymmetric m-terphenyl, with the proviso that the first phenol and the second phenol have different substitution, characterized in that at least one of process steps a) and c) is conducted as an electrochemical process step.

  • Patent number: 10131628
    Abstract: An electrochemical treatment of differently protected aniline or napthylamine results in the preparation of unsymmetrical 2, 2?-diaminebiaryls provided with different protecting groups. The treatment involves the protecting groups prior to the C, C coupling step. The co-reactants generally have different oxidation potentials which results from the selection of the protecting groups. The treatment also enables controlled access to the individual amino functions of the 2, 2?-diaminobiaryls by subsequent selective deprotection.
