A Pyridine–Pyridine Cross‐Coupling Reaction via Dearomatized Radical Intermediates
Pyridyl phosphonium salts react with cyanopyridines and B2pin2 to form 2,4‐bipyridines with complete regiocontrol. Mechanistic studies support a radical–radical coupling process between two boryl‐stabilized pyridyl radical anions rather than a Minisci‐type pathway, and the process is unique to pyridyl phosphonium salts. Abstract A pyridine–pyridine coupling reaction has been developed between pyridyl phosphonium salts and cyanopyridines using B2pin2 as an electron‐transfer reagent. Complete...

Polyethylene aerogels combining physical and chemical crosslinking allow improved mechanical resilience and shape‐memory properties.
While the introduction of polymers in aerogels strongly enhances their toughness, truly elastic monolithic aerogels able to restore their dimensions upon extensive compression are still challenging to synthesize. In this context hydrophobic semi‐crystalline polymers with low glass transition temperatures that combine both stiffness and flexibility have only recently gained attention. We show that polyethylene aerogels with low density combining chemical crosslinking and high crystallinity display...
