Title: Spectral diffusion and scaling of many‐body delocalization transitions

We analyze the role of spectral diffusion in the problem of many‐body delocalization in quantum dots and in extended systems. The spectral diffusion parametrically enhances delocalization, modifying the scaling of the delocalization threshold with the interaction coupling constant.image

  1. The analytical solution of a many‐body localization problem in a quantum Sherrington‐Kirkpatrick spin glass model in a random longitudinal field is proposed matching the problem with a model of Anderson localization in a Bethe lattice. The localization transition is dramatically sensitive to the relationship between interspin interaction and random field revealing different regimes in which the interaction can either suppress or enhance the delocalization. The localization is enhanced by decreasing the temperature and the localization transition shows a remarkable universality in a spin glass phase. The observed trends should be qualitatively relevant for other systems showing many‐body localization.image

  2. Abstract

    A straightforward method for the palladium‐catalyzed triarylation of heteroarylmethanes at the methyl group has been developed. The reaction works with a variety of aryl halides, enabling the rapid synthesis of triaryl(heteroaryl)methanes in moderate to excellent yields.

  3. Abstract

    A one‐pot synthesis of tetrasubstituted acrylaldehydesviadifunctionalization of aryl propynyl ethers has been achieved, which involves a trifluoromethylthiolation process and a radical 1,4‐aryl migration from oxygen to carbon. The reaction shows excellent conversion of aryl propynyl ethers into trifluoromethyl‐containing α,β‐unsaturated aldehydes through a radical pathway.

  4. Abstract

    A new organocatalyst, the selenolate anion [RSe], generated from bench‐stable and commercially available diphenyl diselenide or from phenyl benzyl selenide (10 mol%) is introduced. Benchmarking is performed in the conversion of benzylic chlorides intotrans‐stilbenes selectively at room temperature. Mechanistic studies support the intermediacy of the selenolate anion and of 1,2‐diphenylethyl phenyl selenide.

  5. Abstract

    The enantioselective palladium‐catalyzed decarboxylative allylic alkylation of fully substituted α‐hydroxy acyclic enol carbonates providing tetrasubstituted benzoin derivatives is reported. Investigation into the transformation revealed that preparation of the starting material as a single enolate isomer is crucial for optimal enantioselectivity. The obtained alkylation products contain multiple reactive sites that can be utilized toward the synthesis of stereochemically rich derivatives.
