Highly Conjugated Bis(benzo[b]phosphole)-P-oxides: Synthesis and Electrochemical,Optical, and Computational Studies

The first examples of a π-conjugated benzo[b]phosphole P-oxide in which two phosphole P-oxide units are connected by a carbon-carbon double bond are described. The molecules are synthesized as E isomers with respect to the carbon-carbon double bond and exist as stable cis and trans isomers (chiral and meso one respectively) relatively to the two stereogenic P atoms. The optical and electrochemical properties of both isomers have been investigated by experiment and computations.     

Synthesis of 1,3-Dioxan-2-ones by Photo-Aerobic Selenium-π-Acid Multicatalysis

An expedient method for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates from homoallylic carbonic acid esters by means of photo-aerobic selenium-π-acid multicatalysis is reported. Until now, conceptually related methods commonly relied either on the stoichiometric addition of electrophiles onto the substrate's alkene moiety or the presence of pre-installed leaving groups in allylic position of said alkene to – in part, catalytically – initiate an intramolecular attack by an adjacent carbonic acid ester group. In sharp contrast, the current study shows that the C−C double bond of homoallylic carbonic acid esters can be directly activated by the catalytic interplay of a pyrylium dye and a diselane using ambient air as the sole oxidant and visible light as an energy source.     

One-Step Synthesis of Cyclobutene-Annulated Fullerenes through a Cascade Reaction

The physicochemical properties of fullerene-based materials typically vary depending on the type and mode of addition of functional groups; therefore, developing fullerene derivatives with novel structures is imperative for further progress in materials science. In this study, we develop an efficient one-step strategy for synthesizing cyclobutene-annulated fullerene derivatives (cyclobutenofullerenes) and characterize their electronic properties. Despite the steric strain, cyclobutenofullerenes can be easily prepared via a one-step reaction of C₆₀ with a secondary propargylic phosphate. Structural analysis of the reaction intermediates suggests that the cascade reaction proceeds through a formal [2+2] cycloaddition of C₆₀ with an allene, caused by the 1,3-migration of the propargylic phosphate, followed by an additional 1,3-migration and the subsequent 1,2-elimination of the phosphodiester moiety.     

Aqua substitution from mononuclear Pt(II) complexes with 2-(pyrazol-1-ylmethyl)quinoline non-leaving ligands

The rates of aqua substitution from [Pt{2-(pyrazol-1-ylmethyl)quinoline}(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂, [Pt(H₂Qn)], [Pt{2-(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-ylmethyl)quinoline}(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂, [Pt(dCH₃Qn)], [Pt{2-[(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)pyrazol-1-ylmethyl]quinoline}(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂, [Pt(dCF₃Qn)], and [Pt{2-[(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)pyrazol-1-ylmethyl]pyridine}(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂, [Pt(dCF₃Py)], with three sulfur donor nucleophiles were studied. The reactions were followed under pseudo-first-order conditions as a function of nucleophile concentration and temperature using a stopped-flow analyzer and UV/visible spectrophotometry. The substitution reactions proceeded sequentially. The second-order rate constants for substituting the aqua ligands in the first substitution step increased in the order Pt(dCH₃Qn) < Pt(dCF₃Qn) < Pt(H₂Qn) < Pt(dCF₃Py), while that of the second substitution step was Pt(dCH₃Qn) < Pt(dCF₃Qn) < Pt(dCF₃Py) < Pt(H₂Qn). The reactivity trends confirm that the quinoline substructure in the (pyrazolylmethyl)quinoline ligands acts as an apparent donor of electron density toward the metal center rather than being a π-acceptor. Measured pK_a values from spectrophotometric acid–base titrations were Pt(H₂Qn) (pK_a1 = 4.56; pK_a2 = 6.32), Pt(dCH₃Qn) (pK_a1 = 4.88; pK_a2 = 6.31), Pt(dCF₃Qn) (pK_a1 = 4.07; pK_a2 = 6.35), and Pt(dCF₃Py) (pK_a1 = 4.76; pK_a2 = 6.27). The activation parameters from the temperature dependence of the second-order rate constants support an associative mechanism of substitution.

Benzo[7,8]indolizinoquinoline scaffolds based on Mg(ClO4)2-promoted regiospecific imide reduction and π-cyclization of N-acyliminium species. Analogues of the topo-1 poison rosettacin and 22-hydroxyacuminatine alkaloids

A general five-step synthesis of a short library of benzo[7,8]indolizinoquinolinine analogues of the topoisomerase-1 (topo-1) poison rosettacin and 22-hydroxyacuminatine alkaloids from DMAD and ortho-ketoanilines is reported. This consists on successively, the tandem aza-Michael addition/cyclodehydration, the hydrolysis of the resulting diesters into corresponding o-dicarboxylic acids, and the tandem intermolecular amidation/cyclodehydration into N-substituted imides. The regioselective reduction of one imide carbonyl into corresponding α-hydroxy lactams promoted by a Lewis acid Mg(ClO₄)₂ was followed ultimately with TFA-promoted π-cationic cyclization via stable N-acyliminiums species as an important key step.
