过渡金属参与C―H键切断模式的理论研究进展

过渡金属催化活化C―H键来构建新共价键因具有原子经济和合成简捷的特点,已成为合成化学中最为有效策略之一。本文中,我们总结了过渡金属参与的C―H键切断的理论研究进展,并系统性提出了C―H键切断的相关模式,包括:C―H键对金属的氧化加成、碱协助的去质子化、σ-复分解、Friedel-Crafts型亲电芳香取代、α-或β-氢消除以及夺氢活化等。理论计算表明,当使用还原性较强的零价金属催化剂时,反应可按照氧化加成模式进行。当使用金属羧酸盐作为催化剂时,通常以协同金属化-去质子化机理模式实现C―H键切断。当使用阳离子金属催化剂,富电子芳烃比缺电子芳烃优先反应时,C―H键切断则会经历碱协助的内部亲电取代模式。σ-复分解是协同金属化-去质子化机理的另一种模式。如果亲电体对芳烃进行加成时,则可按照Friedel-Crafts型亲电芳香取代方式活化C―H键。α-或β-氢消除也是比较常见的活化C―H键模式。此外,夺氢活化可通过自由基过程实现C―H键活化。本文通过对过渡金属参与的C―H键活化模式的论述旨在为实验提供理论指导。

Well-Defined Alkyne Metathesis Catalysts: Developments and Recent Applications

Although alkyne metathesis has been known for 50 years, rapid progress in this field has mostly occurred during the last two decades. In this article, the development of several highly efficient and thoroughly studied alkyne metathesis catalysts is reviewed, which includes novel well-defined, in situ formed and heterogeneous systems. Various alkyne metathesis methodologies, including alkyne cross-metathesis (ACM), ring-closing alkyne metathesis (RCAM), cyclooligomerization, acyclic diyne metathesis polymerization (ADIMET), and ring-opening alkyne metathesis polymerization (ROAMP), are presented, and their application in natural product synthesis, materials science as well as supramolecular and polymer chemistry is discussed. Recent progress in the metathesis of diynes is also summarized, which gave rise to new methods such as ring-closing diyne metathesis (RCDM) and diyne cross-metathesis (DYCM).     

Total synthesis of greensporone C

The first total synthesis of greensporone C, a cytotoxic 14-membered resorcylic acid lactone, has been accomplished via a longest linear sequence of 16 steps in 3.3% overall yield. The key features of the synthesis include Mitsunobu esterification and ring-closing metathesis to construct the macrocycle and establish the (E)-olefin geometry, respectively.

Olefin Metathesis in Organic Chemistry

Transition metal catalyzed C? C bond formations belong to the most important reactions in organic synthesis. One particularly interesting reaction is olefin metathesis, a metal-catalyzed exchange of alkylidene moieties between alkenes. Olefin metathesis can induce both cleavage and formation of C? C double bonds. Special functional groups are not necessary. Although this reaction—which can be catalyzed by numerous transition metals—is used in industry, its potential in organic synthesis was not recognized for many years. The recent abrupt end to this Sleeping-Beauty slumber has several reasons. Novel catalysts can effect the conversion of highly fictionalized and sterically demanding olefins under mild reaction conditions and in high yields. Improved understanding of substrate–catalyst interaction has greatly contributed to the recent establishment of olefin metathesis as a synthetic method. In addition to the preparation of polymers with fine-tuned characteristics, the metathesis today also provides new routes to compounds of low molecular weight. The highly developed ring-closing metathesis has been proven to be key step in the synthesis of a growing number of natural products. At the same time interesting applications can be envisioned for newly developed variants of bimolecular metathesis. Improvements in the selective cross-metathesis of acyclic olefins as well as promising attempts to include alkynes as viable substrates provide for a vivid development of the metathesis chemistry.
