Amine‐Imine tautomerization in 2‐amino‐pyrimidine (I), 2‐amino‐4,6‐dichloropyrimidine (II), 2‐amino‐4,6‐dimethylpyrimidine (III), and 2‐amino‐4,6‐dimethoxypyrimidine (IV) and their 1:1 and 1:2 H‐bonded complexes with water have been studied using the B3LYP/6‐31++G** method. Optimum molecular geometries, electronic properties, and energetics of these systems have been discussed. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2011

Figure-of-eight Shaped Metal-free Amide-containing Schiff-base Macrocycles and Two Dicobalt(III) Amide Complexes

Abstract

Two 36-membered (2+2) Schiff-base macrocycles have been prepared and characterised without the use of template ions or high dilution techniques. Rather, intramolecular hydrogen-bonding and π-π interactions promote the isolation of these “figure-of-eight” products in good yields. Two cobalt(III) complexes of the 18-membered (1+1) Schiff-base macrocycles are formed when cobalt(II) is used as a template. The structures of one “figure-of-eight' metal-free (2+2) macrocycle and of one dicobalt(III) complex of a (1+1) macrocycle, in which the cobalt centres are octahedral, are presented.

(Bromodimethyl)sulfonium bromide: an inexpensive reagent for the solvent-free, one-pot synthesis of α-aminophosphonates

A novel solvent-free, one-pot synthesis of α-aminophosphonates in the presence of catalytic (bromodimethyl)sulfonium bromide at room temperature in high yields is reported.     

Carbon-carbon bond formation via a tandem cationic 2-aza-Cope rearrangement-Lewis acid promoted Petasis reaction

Potassium alkynyltrifluoroborates and potassium (2-phenyl)vinyltrifluoroborates react with N-3-butenyl-(2,2-dichloro-1-propylidene)amine in the presence of BF₃·Et₂O as a Lewis acid to synthesize rearranged Mannich products. The reaction starts with a cationic 2-aza-Cope rearrangement of the imine, followed by the Lewis acid promoted borono-Mannich-type reaction on the rearranged imine to result in a new class of functionalized N-homoallylamines.     

Experimental and Theoretical Study of Phosphine-Catalyzed Reaction Modes in the Reaction of α-Substituted Allenes with Aryl Imines

A new phosphine-catalyzed reaction of α-substituted allenes with aryl imines, in stark contrast to classic cycloaddition reactions, has been developed. This reaction delivers valuable highly functionalized itaconimides with excellent stereoselectivities by a new «un-cyclizing» reaction mode involving β′-carbon of α-substituted allenes. Moreover, the present «un-cyclizing» reaction can also be carried out in a one-pot fashion and scaled up to the gram scale by using aryl aldehydes, without the need to isolate the aryl imines. Mechanistic studies and control experiments reveal the crucial role of H₂CO₃ for the present reaction mode. In addition, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to understand the possible mechanism.
