Synthesis and catalytic properties of N -functionalised carbene complexes of rhodium(I)

Reaction of [RhCl(COD)]₂, with 1,3-dialkylimidazolinylidene (1) or 1,3-dialkylbenzimidazolinylidene (2) resulted in the formation of rhodium(I) 1,3-dialkylimidazolin-2-ylidene (3a-c) and 1,3-dialkylbenzimidazolin-2-ylidene (4a,b) complexes. Triethylsilane reacts with acetophenone derivatives in the presence of catalytic amounts of RhCl(COD)(1,3-dialkylimidazolin-2-ylidene) or RhCl(COD)(1,3-dialkylbenzimidazolin-2-ylidene) to give the corresponding silylethers in good yield (57–98%).     

Acetals and ethers,XVII. One- or two-step syntheses of 2-(2-alkoxyethyl)-1,3-dioxacyclanes

2-(2-Alkoxyethyl)-1,3-dioxanes (1) were prepared by ap-toluenesulfonic acid-catalyzed, one-step reaction of propenal with a mixture of aliphatic alcohol and trimethylene glycol in good yields. The transacetalization reaction of 1,1,3-trialkoxypropanes (3) with ethylene glycol or propylene-(1,2)glycol afforded good yields of pure 2-(2-alkoxyethyl)-1,3-dioxolanes (5 or6), respectively. This reaction proceeds through an intermediate 1,3-dialkoxy-1-(2-hydroxyalkoxy)-propane.

Interaction of benzimidazole-2-thione with propargyl bromide and 1,3-dibromopropyne

Interaction of benzimidazole-2-thione with propargyl bromide under found conditions permitted the direct synthesis of 2-(2-propynylsulfanyl)-3H-1,3-benzimidazolium bromide, the base 2-(2-propynylsulfanyl)-1H-1,3-benzimidazole, stable crystalline 2-(1,2-propadienylsulfanyl)-1H-1,3-benzimidazole, and 3-methyl[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a][1,3]benzimidazole. The reaction of benzimidazole-2-thione with 1,3-dibromopropyne in chloroform or absolute methanol gave 2-(3-bromo-2-propynylsulfanyl)-3H-1,3-benzimidazolium bromide, and in absolute methanole in the presence of a twofold excess of sodium methoxide the reaction proceeded stereo-and regioselectively to give 3-[(Z)-bromomethylidene][1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a][1,3]benzimidazole.

Synthesis of 1-Bromo-3-butyn-2-one and 1,3-Dibromo-3-buten-2-one

Synthetic procedures for the preparation of 1-bromo-3-butyn-2-one and 1,3-dibromo-3-buten-2-one are given. These compounds are prepared from 2-bromomethyl-2-vinyl-1,3-dioxolane, which can readily be prepared from 2-ethyl- 2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane. The synthetic routes are as follows: 2-bromomethyl-2-vinyl-1,3-dioxolane is converted to 2-(1,2-dibromoethyl)-2-bromomethyl-1,3-dioxolane. Double dehydrobromination with ^tBuOK affords 2-ethynyl-2-bromomethyl-1,3-dioxolane. Formolysis with formic acid gives 1-bromo-3-butyn-2-one. Deacetalized 2-bromoethyl-2-vinyl-1,3-dioxolane was treated with Br₂ and Li₂CO₃/12-crown-4 in tetrahydrofuran to give 1,3-dibrom-3-buten-2-one in moderate yield.

Structure elucidation of acetylation products of 2-acyl-1,3-indanediones by correlation of infrared spectral data

Summary 2-(1-Acetoxyalkylidene)- and 2-(1-acetoxybenzylidene)-1,3-indanediones (1a–1e) were proven to be the products of acetylation of 2-acyl-1,3-indanediones (2a–2e) by ketene using a detailed investigation and correlation analysis of infrared spectral data as well as¹H-NMR and¹³C-NMR spectra. Study by means of CNDO/2 and MMPI methods also demonstrates that the structure1 is more stable as the alternative one of 2-acyl-3-acetoxy-2-indene-1-ones (5). It was shown that the recently proposed general correlations v(C=O)_s vs. v(C=O)_as and v(C=O) vs. X⁺(R) as well as the mechanical anharmonicities of asymmetric C=O stretching vibration can be successfully used as a tool of structural diagnostics of cyclic 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds.

Zusammenfassung 2-(1-Acetoxyalkyliden)- und 2-(1-Acetoxybenzyliden)-1,3-indandione (1a–1e) wurden mittels einer detaillierten infrarot-spektroskopischen Untersuchung (IR-Korrelation) und¹H-NMR und¹³C-NMR Spektroskopie als Acetylierungsprodukte von 2-Acyl-1,3-indandionen (2a–2e) mit Keten nachgewiesen. CNDO/2- und MMPI-Rechnungen zeigten auch, daß Struktur1 stabiler ist, als die der alternativen 2-Acyl-3-acetoxy-2-inden-1-one5. Es wird gezeigt, daß die kürzlich vorgeschlagenen allgemeinen Korrelationen v(C=O)_s gengen v(C=O)_as und v(C=O) gegen X ⁺(R) und auch die mechanischen Anharmonizitäten der asymmetrischen C=O Streckschwingung erfolgreich als Werkzeug zur Strukturaufklärung cyclischer 1,3-Dicarbonyl-Verbindungen eingesetzt werden können.
