Helical organosilica materials were synthesized for the first time using a novel binaphthyl-based chiral co-monomer in less than 1 hour. The incorporation of a chiral co-monomer in the wall was shown to influence the curvature of the helical materials. As the amount of the chiral co-monomer was increased, the degree of curvature increased, illustrating the importance of this monomer to the overall morphology.

The linked directed ortho and remote metalation (DoM and DreM) and cross-coupling reactions of aryl phospho­rodiamidates (Ar-OP­(O)­(NEt2)2) is reported. The o-iodo and o-boronato aryl tetraethylphosphorodiamidates 3, prepared by DoM, undergo orthogonal Ni- and Pd-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura cross coupling to furnish biaryls 4 and 5 in good to excellent yields. Silicon group protection of biaryl 4 via DoM followed by previously unobserved DreM phospha anionic Fries rearrangement affords biaryls 11 which, under acidic conditions, furnish oxaphosphorine oxides 12.

Exclusive aryl ring nitration of a series of 3‐arylsydnones 1 with electron donors (di‐ or tri‐methyl) on the aryl ring is reported.

Electrophilic substitution on the aryl or sydnone ring of some ortho‐substituted activated N‐aryl‐sydnones is reported.
