One-Pot Facile Synthesis of Pyridyl Annelated Perylene Bisimides

Two regiospecifically pyridyl annelated perylene bisimides have been prepared in one pot by the combination of the Suzuki cross-coupling reaction and subsequent light-promoted cyclization in high yields.

Direct Functionalization of Polycyclic Aromatics via Radical Perfluoroalkylation

Direct functionalization of electron-deficient and electron-rich polycyclic aromatics via copper-mediated radical perfluoroalkylation was achieved in high yields.

Highly regiospecific synthetic approach to monobay-functionalized perylene bisimide and di(perylene bisimide).

Monobay-dichlorinated perylene bisimide and diperylene bisimide have been regiospecifically synthesized from tetrachlorinated perylene bisimide in different copper-mediated reaction conditions, thus opening a new avenue to their monobay-functionalization.
