  • Patent number: 10611786
    Abstract: Reactions that directly install nitrogen into C—H bonds of complex molecules are significant because of their potential to change the chemical and biological properties of a given compound. Selective intramolecular C—H amination reactions that achieve high levels of reactivity, while maintaining excellent site-selectivity and functional-group tolerance is a challenging problem. Herein is reported a manganese perchlorophthalocyanine catalyst [MnIII(ClPc)] for intermolecular benzylic C—H amination of bioactive molecules and natural products that proceeds with unprecedented levels of reactivity and site-selectivity. In the presence of Brønsted or Lewis acid, the [MnIII(ClPc)]-catalyzed C—H amination demonstrates unique tolerance for tertiary amine, pyridine and benzimidazole functionalities. Mechanistic studies indicate that C—H amination proceeds through an electrophilic metallonitrene intermediate via a stepwise pathway where C—H cleavage is the rate-determining step of the reaction.

  • Patent number: 8633473
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a high-contrast light-emitting device without using a polarization plate. In particular, it is an object of the present invention to make contrast control simpler for a light-emitting device provided with a color filter. A light-emitting device according to the present invention has a feature of having a structure for reducing reflection of light from a light-emitting later at a reflective electrode, and further, has a feature of absorbing wavelengths other than the light by a color filter to enhance the contrast. Accordingly, contrast control can be performed in consideration of only a luminescence component from the light-emitting layer, and is thus made simpler.
