Reactions of heterocumulenes with organometallic reagents: XIX. Quantum-chemical study on S-alkylation and intramolecular cyclization of lithiated methoxyallene adducts with methyl, phenyl, and 3-(methylsulfanyl)phenyl isothiocyanates. Concurrent formation of pyrrole and/or thiophene rings

Concurrent reaction paths leading to the formation of thiophene and/or pyrrole rings from adducts of lithiated methoxyallene with methyl, phenyl, and 3-(methylsulfanyl)phenyl isothiocyanates were simulated by quantum-chemical methods. According to the calculations, pyrrole ring closure is kinetically more favorable for the adduct of 1-lithio-1-methoxyallene with methyl isothiocyanate, both reaction channels are equally probable for the adduct with phenyl isothiocyanate, and thiophene ring closure is the main reaction path for the adduct with 3-(methylsulfanyl)phenyl isothiocyanate.     

Oligomerization of Substituted Phenyl Glycidyl Ethers with Tertiary Amine

The oligomerization of substituted phenyl glycidyl ethers was studied kinetically in the presence of dimethylbenzylamine using toluene or dioxane as a solvent. The infrared spectra of the resultant oligomers suggest that the reaction products have the internal carbon-carbon double-bond un-saturation, which is confirmed by the catalytic hydrogenation. The molecular weights of the oligomers also suggest that γ-phenoxy allyl alcohol produced by the initial reaction step, in which the γ-proton of phenyl glycidyl ether is attracted by a base, amine, reacts with other phenyl glycidyl ether and thus proceeds further, yielding the oligomer. The value of the reaction constant ρ is obtained positive for this reaction, which indicates that electron-withdrawing substituents of phenyl gylcidyl ethers increase the rate of oligomerization. A kinetic analysis shows that the proposed reaction sequence accounts for all the characteristics of the polymerization including sigmoidal shapes of monomer consumption curves, reaction rates, and induction periods.     

Synthesis of 5-arylhistidines via a Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling

Microwave irradiation efficiently promoted the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction of a 5-bromohistidine with various arylboronic acids in the presence of a palladium catalyst. This methodology allowed the synthesis of histidines substituted at position 5 of the imidazole ring with a phenyl, a substituted phenyl, a pyridyl or a thienyl ring. The corresponding 5-arylhistidines were obtained in moderate to good yields.     

Polylithiumorganic compounds. Part 29: C,C Bond cleavage of phenyl substituted and strained carbocycles using lithium metal

The reaction of phenyl substituted cyclopropanes phenylcyclopropane and 1,1-diphenylcyclopropane, phenyl substituted bicyclobutanes 1-phenylbicyclobutane, 1-methyl-3-phenylbicyclobutane, 1-methyl-2,2-diphenylbicyclobutane, as well as phenyl substituted spiropentanes phenylspiropentane and 1,1-diphenylspiropentane with lithium metal or lithium di-t-butylbiphenyl (LiDBB) was investigated. Under suitable reaction conditions and choice of solvent in all cases cleavage of the single bond next to the activating phenyl group was observed. The dilithiumorganic compounds thus obtained are sufficiently stable and can be trapped with electrophiles. Lithium hydride elimination is observed as follow-up reaction only in a few cases. The corresponding anions of the strained ring systems 1-lithio-2,2-diphenylcyclopropane, 1-lithio-3-phenylbicyclobutane, 1-lithio-3-methyl-2,2-diphenylbicyclobutane, and 1-lithio-4-phenylspiropentane, which can be obtained by lithium bromine exchange or by metalation of the unsubstituted carbocycle, do not show any cleavage upon reaction with lithium metal.     

Solid-phase synthesis of 5-arylhistidines via a microwave-assisted Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling

Microwave irradiation efficiently promoted the solid-phase Suzuki-Miyaura reaction of a 5-bromohistidine with various arylboronic acids in the presence of a palladium catalyst. This methodology allowed the synthesis of peptides bearing a histidine residue substituted at position 5 of the imidazole ring with a phenyl, a substituted phenyl, a pyridyl, or a thienyl ring, as well as with the benzene ring of a tyrosine residue.     

Chemical ionization mass spectrometry of benzoyl peroxide: A radical aromatic substitution resulting in biphenylcarboxylic acid in the gas phase

A radical aromatic substitution resulting in biphenylcarboxylic acid is inferred for the decomposition of benzoyl peroxide from the chemical ionization and collision-induced dissociation mass spectra. The thermolysis of benzoyl peroxide gives rise to a benzoyloxy radical, which undergoes rapid decarboxylation and hydrogen abstraction leading to phenyl radical and benzoic acid, respectively. Attack of the resulting phenyl radical on the benzoic acid results in biphenylcarboxylic acid. On the other hand, the phenyl radical abstracts a hydrogen atom to yield benzene, which is then subjected to the attack of a benzoyloxy radical, affording phenyl benzoate. This substitution reaction rather than the recombination of benzoyloxy and phenyl radicals is found to be responsible for the formation of phenyl benzoate under the present conditions.     

Crystallization of bisphenol-A polycarbonate induced by organic salts: Chemical modification of the polymer. III. Reaction mechanism

In the presence of a sodium arylcarboxylate or arylphenoxide, bisphenol-A polycarbonate (PC) undergoes complex chemical modifications at high temperatures. The reaction mechanism is similar to the one previously established for model systems. Initially, the salt reacts with the carbonate groups of the polymer. This lowers the number-average molecular weight and produces ionic chain ends of the phenoxide type. A fast transesterification reaction is then induced by a continuous exchange between the phenoxide and the carbonate groups, affecting the molecular distribution until an equilibrium is attained. In the presence of CO₂, the phenoxide-terminated PC undergoes further chemical modifications (formation of phenyl salicylate and phenyl phenoxybenzoate groups) leading to progressive crosslinking of the polymer.     

S′H type reactions of substituted allylic compounds

S′_H reactions of allyl sulfides and halides with phenyl radicals are reported. Thermal decomposition of phenylazotriphenylmethane with allyl sulfides and bromide has been shown to give allylbenzene. This apparent substitution reaction involves attack of a phenyl radical on the terminal unsaturated carbon atom of the allyl sulfide; the reaction in α,α-dimethylallyl ethyl sulfide produced 2-methyl-4-phenylbutene-2. To estimate the relative reactivities of allylic substrates towards phenyl radicals, competitive reactions of phenyl radicals with allylic compounds and carbon tetrachloride were investigated. The data indicate that the radical formed by addition of a phenyl radical to the allylic sulfide looses thiyl radicals almost quantitatively.     

Synthesis of 3‐(2‐benzyloxy‐6‐hydroxyphenyl)‐1‐methylpyrazoles by the reaction of chromones with methylhydrazine

The 3‐(2‐benzyloxy‐6‐hydroxyphenyl)‐5‐(methyl, phenyl or styryl)pyrazoles were prepared from the reaction of 2‐(methyl, phenyl or styryl)chromones with methylhydrazine. The structure of these compounds has been determined by several nmr techniques, and the reaction mechanism is discussed.     

Introduction of a hydroxy group at the para position and N-iodophenylation of N-arylamides using phenyliodine(III) bis(trifluoroacetate)

The reaction of anilides with phenyliodine(III) bis(trifluoroacetate) (PIFA) in trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), TFA-CHCl3, or hexafluoroisopropyl alcohol (HFIP) is described. When the acyl group of the anilide is highly electronegative, such as trifluoroacetyl, or the phenyl group is substituted with an electron-withdrawing group, the 4-iodophenyl group is transferred from PIFA to the amide nitrogen to afford acetyldiarylamines. On the other hand, when the acyl group contains an electron-donating function, such as 4-methoxyphenyl, or the phenyl group is substituted with an electron-donating group, a trifluoroacetoxy group is transferred to the para position of the anilide aromatic ring. This group is hydrolyzed during workup to produce the corresponding phenol.     

Synthesis of 3‐phenyl‐5‐(trifluoromethyl)isoxazole and 5‐phenyl‐3‐(trifluoromethyl)isoxazole

Reaction of 4,4,4‐trifluoro‐1‐phenyl‐1,3‐butanedione with hydroxylamine led to the formation of 5‐hydroxy‐3‐phenyl‐5‐(trifluoromethyl)‐4,5‐dihydroisoxazole which was dehydrated to 3‐phenyl‐5‐(trifluoro‐methyl)isoxazole. This isomer can also be synthesized by reaction of 4‐chloro‐4‐phenyl‐1,1,1‐trifluoro‐3‐buten‐2‐one with sodium azide. The regioisomer, 5‐phenyl‐3‐(trifluoromethyl)isoxazole was synthesized by reaction of 1,1,1‐trifluoro‐4‐phenylbut‐3‐yn‐2‐one with hydroxylamine and by the reaction of 3‐chloro‐1‐phenyl‐4,4,4‐trifluorobut‐2‐en‐1‐one with sodium azide. Both isomers were characterized by mass and NMR spectroscopy.

Palladium-catalyzed carbonylation of aryl, alkenyl, and allyl halides with phenyl formate

Highly efficient palladium-catalyzed carbonylation of aryl, alkenyl, and allyl halides with phenyl formate is reported. This procedure does not use carbon monoxide and affords one-carbon-elongated carboxylic acid phenyl esters in excellent yields. The reaction proceeds smoothly under mild conditions and tolerates a wide range of functional groups including aldehyde, ether, ketone, ester, and cyano groups. Furthermore, a variety of heteroaromatic bromides can be converted to the corresponding phenyl esters in high yields.

Reactivities of dianions of pyridyl phenyl ketones

Substituted pyridylphenylcarbinols are formed in the reaction of the dianions of isomeric pyridyl phenyl ketones with alkyl halides, aldehydes, and benzonitrile. The reaction of the dianion of 3-pyridyl phenyl ketone with benzophenone, in contrast to the analogous reaction of the dianion of 2-pyridyl phenyl ketone, gives 5-benzoyl-2-diphenylhydroxymethyl-1,2-dihydropyridine. It is assumed that the observed reaction includes one-electron transfer and the formation of two anion radicals. Recombination of the anion radical of 3-pyridyl phenyl ketone leads to 5,5′-dibenzoyl-2,2′-di(1,2-dihydropyridyl).     

Ruthenium-catalyzed cyclization of epoxide with a tethered alkyne: formation of ketene intermediates via oxygen transfer from epoxides to terminal alkynes

Treatment of (o-ethynyl)phenyl epoxides with TpRuPPh(3)(CH(3)CN)(2)PF(6) (10 mol %) in hot toluene (100 degrees C, 3-6 h) gave 2-naphthols or 1-alkylidene-2-indanones very selectively with isolated yields exceeding 72%, depending on the nature of the epoxide substituents. Surprisingly, the reaction intermediate proved to be a ruthenium-pi-ketene species that can be trapped efficiently by alcohol to give an ester compound. This phenomenon indicates a novel oxygen transfer from epoxide to its terminal alkyne catalyzed by a ruthenium complex. A plausible mechanism is proposed on the basis of reaction products and the deuterium-labeling experiment. The 2-naphthol products are thought to derive from 6-endo-dig cyclization of (o-alkenyl)phenyl ketene intermediates, whereas 1-alkylidene-2-indanones are given from the 5-endo-dig cyclization pathway.     

Cyclopropylation of arylamines at the 2-position with cyclopropylmagnesium carbenoids

Direct cyclopropylation of arylamines at the 2-position with 1-chlorocyclopropyl phenyl sulfoxides was achieved. The reaction of N-lithio arylamines with cyclopropylmagnesium carbenoids, which are generated from 1-chlorocyclopropyl phenyl sulfoxides with i-PrMgCl via the sulfoxide-magnesium exchange reaction, is the key of this procedure. This method offers an unprecedented way for the synthesis of arylamines having a cyclopropane ring at the 2-position directly from arylamines.

In most cases, the reaction can be completed within 1 h using the appropriate Lewis base catalyst. An efficient method to synthesize beta-amino ketones, aldehydes and esters in high yields and short reaction time has been developed.     

Unexpected Side Reaction in the Intermolecular N-H Insertion of Phenyl Diazoacetates with Arylamines

Unexpected side reaction is discovered from the N-H insertion of phenyl diazoacetates with arylamines in the presence of Rh2(OAc)4 catalyst. This side reaction is not evident with copper catalysts such as Cu(acac)2 or Cu(OTf)2. Good yield of the N-H insertion was obtained by using 0.2% of copper catalyst.
