Direction of deprotonation of 4-(3-indolyl)pyridinium salts in alkaline media

A proton is split out from the NH group of indole to give the anhydro bases in all cases when 4-(3-indolyl)pyridinium salts with alkyl, benzyl, phenacyl, and quinolylmethyl residues attached to the pyridinium nitrogen atom are treated with alkali.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1645–1647, December, 1981.     

Tridentate, anionic tethered N-heterocyclic carbene of Pd(II) complexes

The synthesis of a series of azolium salts such as azolium iodides and chlorides having both N-anionic functional group and N-alkyl group have been developed. Reaction of azolium iodides or chlorides with Ag₂O gave the corresponding NHC-Ag complexes. It was found that the resulting NHC-Ag complexes derived from azolium iodides or chlorides differ in their physical properties. The azolium chlorides as well as azolium iodides were successfully converted into the NHC-Ag complexes, which subsequently reacted with PdCl₂(CH₃CN)₂ to give the anionic amidate/NHC-Pd complexes. Thus, a variety of the NHC-Pd complexes could be obtained from benzimidazolium and imidazolium salts.     

An efficient route to unsymmetrical bis(azolium) salts: CCC-NHC pincer ligand complex precursors

The coupling of N-heterocyclic azoles (imidazoles, benzimidazoles, triazoles) to bromobenzenes (1,2-; 1,3-; or 1,4) in a step-wise, sequential manner was accomplished by manipulation of reaction time and stoichiometry, which provided straight-forward access to unsymmetrical bis(azolium) salts in only three isolation steps from commercially-available starting materials. Eight mono(azole) substituted bromobenzenes, four mono(azolium)bromobenzene salts, twelve unsymmetrical bis(azole)benzenes, and fourteen unsymmetrical bis(azolium) salts, which are precursors for pincer ligand complexes, are reported.     

Solvent effect on chemical shift non-equivalence of methylene protons in dibenzyl-, diphenacyl- and benzyl phenacyl sulphoxides

The methylene protons of dibenzyl sulphoxide are magnetically equivalent in low dielectric and non-equivalent in high dielectric constant solvents, while for diphenacyl sulphoxide this behaviour is reversed. In both cases, the variation in the magnitude of the non-equivalence reflects a greater downfield shift of one methylene proton than the other on passing from non-polar to polar solvents. By contrast, the chemical shift difference between the benzyl methylene protons or between the phenacyl methylene protons of benzyl phenacyl sulphoxide varies only slightly with solvent polarity.     

Azolium and acetate ions in DMF: Formation of free N-heterocyclic carbene. A voltammetric analysis

In order to reveal the possible formation of free N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) in DMF-azolium and acetate solutions, the proton exchange equilibrium between azolium cations and CH₃COO⁻ was investigated (by cyclic voltammetry) by adding CH₃COOH or tetrabutylammonium acetate to DMF solutions of imidazolium or thiazolium salts of different acidity.The voltammetric analysis confirms that the deprotonation of the azolium cation by CH₃COO⁻ (with the formation of free NHC) is significant in the case of the more acidic thiazolium cations, while it is not effective with the less acidic imidazolium ones.Accordingly, the NHC-catalyzed benzoin condensation was carried out in DMF solutions of azolium salts, tetrabutylammonium acetate, and benzaldehyde. Benzoin was isolated only starting from the more acidic thiazolium salts.

Probing the efficiency of N-heterocyclic carbene promoted O- to C-carboxyl transfer of oxazolyl carbonates

Screening of a range of azolium salts, bases and solvents for reactivity indicates that triazolinylidenes, generated in situ with KHMDS in THF, promote the Steglich rearrangement of oxazolyl carbonates with high catalytic efficiency (typical reaction time 5 min at <1.5 mol % NHC). This protocol shows wide substrate applicability, even allowing the efficient generation of vicinal quaternary centers. An improved experimental procedure is also described that allows a simplified one-pot reaction protocol to be employed with similarly high catalytic efficiency.     

Phenacyl onium salt photoinitiators: synthesis, photolysis, and applications

Onium salts, namely sulfonium, phosphonium, ammonium, and pyridinium salts containing phenacyl group are photoinitiators appropriate for the polymerization of monomers such as oxiranes and vinyl ethers, which are not polymerizable by a free-radical mechanism. The initiation is accomplished by direct or indirect (sensitized) photolysis of the salts. Depending on the type of the salt, the direct photoinitiation of cationic polymerization involves reversible or irreversible processes. The photolysis of phenacylsulfonium compounds proceeds by a reversible process, while the other types undergo irreversible photolysis leading to complete fragmentation of the photoinitiator. An additionally useful tool, namely photosensitized generation of initiating species enlarges the versatility of these salts as photoinitiators. Photoinitiated free-radical and zwitterionic polymerizations by using phenacyl-type salts are also addressed. Keto-enol tautomerization of phenacyl pyridinium salts is discussed. Moreover, an interesting application concerning in situ synthesis of clay-poly(methyl methacrylate) nanocomposites with the aid of the phenacyl anilinium salt-based photopolymerization technique is noted.

Azolium-linked cyclophanes: effects of structure, solvent, and counteranions on solution conformation behavior

This paper describes the synthesis, structural characterization, and solution behavior of some xylyl-linked imidazolium and benzimidazolium cyclophanes decorated with alkyl or alkoxy groups. The addition of alkyl/alkoxy chains to the cyclophanes allows for studies in chlorinated solvents, whereas previous solution studies of azolium cyclophanes have generally required highly polar solvents. The azolium cyclophanes may exist in a syn/syn conformation (azolium rings mutually syn, arene rings mutually syn) or a syn/anti conformation (azolium rings mutually syn, arene rings mutually anti). The preferred conformation is significantly affected by (i) binding of bromide (ion pairing) to the protons on the imidazolium or benzimidazolium rings, which occurs in solutions of bromide salts of the cyclophanes in chlorinated solvents, and (ii) the addition of alkoxy groups to the benzimidazolium cyclophanes. These structural modifications have also led to cyclophanes that adopt conformations not previously identified for similar azolium cyclophane analogues. Detailed (1)H NMR studies for one cyclophane identified binding of bromide at two independent sites within the cyclophane.

Polyketoetheresters from 4,4′-Dichloroacetyldiphenyl Ether and their Characterization

Benzyl chloride and phenacyl chloride are reported to condense with sodium acetate or sodium benzoate, affording the corresponding esters [1–4]. This suggested that a dichloride monomer can poly condense with a sodium dioate, affording a polyester. Akhmedzade and Yasnopolskii reported one such polyester synthesis based on polycondensation of p-xylylene dihalide with sodium terephthalate [5]. As phenacyl chloride is more reactive than benzyl chloride is more reactive than benzyl chloride [4], 4,4′-dichloroacetyldiphenyl ether (DADE) should prove even more reactive than a dichloride of the Ar(CH₂Cl)₂ type. The work presented here comprises a study of the polycondensation of DADE with sodium adipate (ADP), sebacate (SEB), or terephthalate (TER).     

Stevens rearrangement of heterocyclic ammonium salts containing prop-2-yn-1-yl group

Stevens rearrangement was studied of ammonium salts where piperidinium or morpholinium groups are linked to prop-2-yn-1-yl moiety and labile hydrogen atom functions (methoxycarbonylmethyl, phenacyl, cyanomethyl). In the case of phenacyl analog furan derivatives were formed, in other cases dienamines were the reaction products.     

Synthesis of modified pyrimidine nucleosides via Vorbrüggen-type N-glycosylation catalyzed by 2-methyl-5-phenylbenzoxazolium perchlorate

Several acidic azolium salts prepared from oxazole, thiazole, and imidazole derivatives were investigated as catalysts in N-glycosylation reaction using a silylated modified pyrimidine and an acylated ribose or glucose to afford the corresponding pyrimidine nucleoside. Among the salts, 2-methyl-5-phenylbenzoxazolium perchlorate showed the highest catalytic activity. This salt is a nonhygroscopic crystalline compound that shows higher activity than the frequently used trimethylsilyl triflate. Reactions with this salt can be conducted in gram scales.

Interaction of (z)-4-bromo-1,3-di(2-thienyl)- 2-buten-1-one with amines,synthesis of di(2-thienyl)azolo[<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]pyridines

(Z)-4-Bromo-1,3-di(2-thienyl)-2-buten-1-one was obtained by the bromination of 1,3-di(2-thienyl)-2-buten-1-one by NBS in anhydrous CCl₄. The starting butanone was obtained by the condensation of 1-(2-thienyl)-1-ethanone by the action of SOCl₂. The reaction of (Z)-4-bromo-1,3-di(2-thienyl)-2-buten-1-one with tertiary amines such as Et₃N, pyridine, 1-alkyl-1,3-diazole, 1-alkylbenzimidazole, and 1-alkyl-1,2,4-triazole leads to quaternary salts. The azolium salts cyclize by the action of base to give di(2-thienyl)azolo[a]pyridinium derivatives. 3-Methyl-6,8-di(2-thienyl)[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyridin-4-ium and 2,4-di(2-thienyl)pyrido[2,1-b]benzothiazol-10-ium bromides were obtained by the same procedure but without separating the intermediate quaternary salts.
