Preparation of 2,2-difluoro-1-trialkylsilylethenylstannanes and their cross-coupling reactions

Reaction of 2 with bis(tributyltin) in the presence of 3 mol % Pd₂(dba)₃, 6 mol % XPhos, and 30 equiv of LiBr in wet and air bubbled THF at reflux for 8 h afforded the desired products 3 in 73–74% yields. The cross-coupling reaction of 3a with aryl iodides in the presence of 10 mol % Pd(PPh₃)₄ and 10 mol % CuI afforded the coupled products 4a–p in 47–90% yields. The coupling reaction of 3b with various alkynyl bromides having aryl-, alkyl, or trialkylsilyl group also afforded the corresponding 1,3-enynes 5a–g in 61–77% yields.     

Efficient synthesis and antioxidant activity of coelenterazine analogues

A convenient and highly convergent method for the synthesis of new imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-based coelenterazine analogues is reported. The imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine core was constructed through a condensation between 2-aminopyridine analogues and arylglyoxals. Additionally, a new approach to the synthesis of benzylglyoxals was introduced. The imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines display moderate antioxidant activities at a low micromolar level in 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH).     

Turn-on fluorescence sensing of cyanide ions in aqueous solution简

A sensitive fluorescent probe, 2,2＇-bisbenzimidazole （L）, for CN has been developed. This structurally simple receptor displays great selectivity for the cyanide anion over other common inorganic anions in an aqueous environment. In addition, further study demonstrates the lower detection of the fluorescence response of the sensor to CN is in 10 9 mol/L range. Thus, the present probe should be applicable as a practical system for the monitoring of cyanide concentrations in aqueous samples.

The Rearrangement of 2,2‐Diphenyl‐1‐[(E)‐2‐phenylethenyl]cyclopropane to 3,4,4‐Triphenylcyclopent‐1‐ene: a DFT Analysis

A computational study on the rearrangement of 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐[(E)‐2‐phenylethenyl]cyclopropane ( 1 ) is presented, using density functional theory (DFT), (U)B3LYP with the 6‐31G* basis set (DFT1) and (U)M05‐2X with the 6‐311+G** basis set (DFT2). In agreement with a biradical character of the transition structure (TS) or intermediate, the potential‐energy hypersurface is lowered by the influence of three conjugated Ph groups. Surprisingly, two conformations of the geminal diphenyl group (different twist angles) induce two different minimum‐energy pathways for the rearrangement. Independent of the functional used, the first hypersurface harbors true biradical intermediates, whereas the second energy surface is a flat, slightly ascending slope from the starting material to the TS. The functional (U)M05‐2X with the basis set 6‐311+G** provides realistic energies which seem to be close to experiment. The activation energy for racemization of enantiomers of 1 is lower than that of rearrangement by 2.5 kcal mol^?1, in agreement with experiment.     

Synthesis, spectroscopic and DFT investigation of dimethyl-2-(5-acetyl-2,2-dimethyl-4,6-dioxo-1,3-dioxan-5-yl)-3-(triphenylphosphinylidene)succinate

Dimethyl-2-(5-acetyl-2,2-dimethyl-4,6-dioxo-1,3-dioxan-5-yl)-3-(triphenylphosphinylidene)succinate has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR and ¹H, ¹³C and ³¹P NMR. The vibrational wavenumbers, gauge including atomic orbital (GIAO) ¹H and ¹³C chemical shift values of title compound in the ground state have been computed with density functional theory method (DFT) and the B3LYP functional. The basis sets used are 6-311G(d,p) and 6-31G(d). The harmonic vibrational wavenumbers have been computed and the scaled values have been compared with the experimental FT-IR spectra. The complete assignments have been performed on basis of the total energy distribution (TED) of the vibrational modes, calculated with scaled quantum mechanics (SQM) method. Most of the computed wavenumbers are found to be in good agreement with the observed spectrum.     

BF3·SiO2-catalyzed one-pot synthesis of α-aminophosphonates in ionic liquid and neat conditions

α-Aminophosphonates were synthesized in a simple and efficient method from the three-component condensation reaction of 5-amino 2,2-difluoro-1,3-benzodioxole, aromatic aldehydes, and diethyl phosphite by silica-supported boron trifluoride (BF₃·SiO₂) in ionic liquid ([bmim][HCl]) under solvent-free conditions at room temperature in good to excellent yields and short reaction times. The catalyst can be recovered and reused for several times without any significant loss of activity. It was observed that a homogeneous reaction medium proved beneficial for the yield of the reaction.     

Supramolecular Ammine-Copper rac-BINOLAT Salts through in-situ R- or S-BINOL Racemization

The molecule rac-1,1'-binaphthalene-2,2'-diol (rac-1,1'-bi-2-naphthol, rac-BINOL) shows a propensity for supramolecular, charge-assisted O–H ··· O^– hydrogen-bonded strand formation when crystallized with its deprotonated form BINOLAT^2– and Cu²⁺ in conc. ammonia. The naphthyl-paneled cavities in the {(rac-BINOLAT^2–)(rac-BINOL)₂} strands host the [Cu(NH₃)₅]²⁺-guest cation through second-sphere N–H ··· O hydrogen bonding in the structure of [Cu(NH₃)₅]²⁺(rac-BINOLAT^2–)(rac-BINOL)₂. Decreasing the copper(II) and ammonia concentrations in the crystallization leads to {(rac-BINOLAT^2–)(rac-BINOL)} strands, in which rac-BINOLAT^2– coordinates to two copper(II) atoms in the structure of [Cu(NH₃)₂(μ-rac-BINOLAT^2–-κ²O,O':κO)]₂(rac-BINOL)₂. In the {Cu²⁺(NH₃)₂} moiety two BINOLAT-oxide atoms act as bridging ligands. Both copper structures could be obtained by using the racemic rac-BINOL or the enantiomeric R- or S-BINOL, through an in-situ racemization of the latter.
