Phosphine-Free Tetradentate Salicylaldimine Ligand Complexed with Palladium: First Application in Heck Reactions

Heck reactions were carried out using phosphine-free tetradentate salicylaldimine ligand complexed with PdCl₂ under mild reaction conditions, short reaction time, and low palladium loading. All aryl iodides underwent coupling reactions with olefins, giving corresponding trans-products, with good to excellent yields, whereas aryl bromides gave very poor yields and aryl chlorides failed to react.

ArS-Mediated Ad E Reaction of the Cobaltcarbonyl-Complexed Conjugated Enynes

Abstract

A novel approach to the synthesis of functionalized enynes is elaborated based on the protocol of the three-component coupling of arenesulfenyl chlorides, dicobalthexacarbonyl complexes of the conjugated enynes, and nucleophiles of the π-donor type and a possibility to employ the 1,6-enyne derivatives thus prepared as the substrates for the intramolecular Pauson–Khand cyclization is demonstrated.     

Escape from Hydrofunctionalization: Palladium Hydride-Enabled Difunctionalization of Conjugated Dienes and Enynes

Palladium hydrides are traditionally employed in hydrofunctionalization (i.e. monofunctionalization) of conjugated dienes and enynes, owning to its facile protic hydropalladation of electron-rich (or neutral) unsaturated bonds. Herein, we report a mild PdH-catalyzed difunctionalization of conjugated dienes and enynes. This protocol is enabled by the chemoselectivity switch of the initial hydropalladation step achieved by visible light enhancement of hydricity of PdH species. This method allows for cascade annulation of dienes and enynes with various easily available and abundant substrates, such as acrylic acids, acrylic amides, and Baylis–Hillman adducts, toward a wide range of alkenyl or alkynyl lactones, lactams, and tetrahydrofurans. This protocol also provides an easy access to complex spiro-fused tricyclic frameworks.     

Syntheses of Some Oyclopopxl Conjugated 1, 2-Diketojjes

A very recent publication by Guillaud, Pierre and Arnaud ¹ on the preparation and reactivity in basic media of some cyclopropyl conjugated 1,2-diketones prompted us to report our synthetic results in the same field. In connection with our interest in cyclopropyl conjugated carbonyl systeams way of preparing cyclopropyl conjugated 1,2-diketones is by oxidation of aither compound (I)or (II) with selenium dioxide.     

The First Conjugated Allene Polymer

A novel conjugated polymer with allene moieties in the polymer main chain, poly(4,4′‐biphenylylene‐1,3‐diphenylpropadien‐1,3‐ylene), was synthesized from 1,3‐bis(4‐bromophenyl)‐1,3‐diphenylpropadiene by dehalogenative polycondensation using Ni(cod)₂. The polymer shows good solubility in common organic solvents, good processability for making thin films, intense blue fluorescence in solution and acid sensitivity resulting in coloration. The conductivity increased by an order of 10⁴ upon exposure to trifluoroacetic acid vapor.     

Reactions of Sulfenyl,Sulfinyl, and Sulfonyl Halides with Conjugated Dienes and Enynes. Synthesis of Unsaturated Sulfides,Sulfoxides, and Sulfones

The reactivities of sulfenyl, sulfinyl, sulfonyl halides in additions to conjugated dienes'enynes, and their derivatives are compared. Despite the fact that all these reactions involve cleavage offormally similar S-Cl bonds, the addition direction and rate depend on the structure of the reactants (dienes and enynes; organosulfur acid chlorides).

采用Heck反应合成出6个带有不同推拉电子基团的二苯乙烯衍生物,产率68%～84%.研究了反应物分子结构对Heck偶联反应的影响,对实验条件进行了优化并探讨了其反应机理.结果表明,反应温度120℃,溶剂DMF 和Et3N体积比为2: 1时可以获得较高产率.同时我们还发现,不同的反应物结构对Heck反应产率的影响较大,随着反应物中双键的电子云密度的降低(对甲基苯乙烯>苯乙烯>4-乙烯吡啶),反应产率依次降低;芳卤的反应活性表现为:NO2-Ar-Br>H-Ar-Br>CH3-Ar-Br.     

Functionalization of Intramolecular Frustrated Lewis Pairs by 1,1‐Carboboration with Conjugated Enynes

The vicinal P/B frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) Mes₂PCH₂CH₂B(C₆F₅)₂ undergoes 1,1‐carboboration reactions with the Me₃Si‐substituted enynes to give ring‐enlarged functionalized C₃‐bridged P/B FLPs. These serve as active FLPs in the activation of dihydrogen to give the respective zwitterionic [P]H⁺/[B]H^? products. One such product shows activity as a metal‐free catalyst for the hydrogenation of enamines or a bulky imine. The ring‐enlarged FLPs contain dienylborane functionalities that undergo “bora‐Nazarov”‐type ring‐closing rearrangements upon photolysis. A DFT study had shown that the dienylborane cyclization of such systems itself is endothermic, but a subsequent C₆F₅ migration is very favorable. Furthermore, substituted 2,5‐dihydroborole products are derived from cyclization and C₆F₅ migration from the photolysis reaction. In the case of the six‐membered annulation product, a subsequent stereoisomerization reaction takes place and the resultant compound undergoes a P/B FLP 1,2‐addition reaction with a terminal alkyne with rearrangement.     

First palladium-catalyzed Heck reactions with efficient colloidal catalyst systems

For the first time it has been shown that palladium colloids are effective and active catalysts for the olefination of aryl bromides (Heck reaction). Worthy of note are the high activities of the catalyst system for activated aryl bromides under optimized reaction conditions, which are better than or comparable with “classical” palladium phosphine complexes. Addition of phosphines strongly retards the reaction rate of the colloid catalyst. Nevertheless, this type of catalyst is not suitable for the activation of non-activated substrates, especially technically interesting aryl chlorides.     

Nucleophilic reactivity of 1-zirconacyclopent-3-ynes: Carbon-carbon bond formation with aldehydes

Nucleophilic reactions of 1,1-bis(η⁵-cyclopentadienyl)-1-zirconacyclopent-3-yne (1) with proton and aldehydes were studied. The reaction with HCl gave a mixture of 2-butyne and 1,2-butadiene. Complex 1 reacted with benzaldehyde to give 1-phenyl-2-methyl-2,3-butadien-1-ol (3) in moderate yields in the presence of a proton source such as triethylammonium hydrochloride, while it gave 2-methylene-1-phenyl-3-buten-1-ol (4) on using triethylammonium tetraphenylborate.     

Palladium-catalyzed cycloreduction of 5-allen-1-ynes

The palladium-catalyzed cycloreduction of 5-allen-1-ynes gave the corresponding 1,2-bisalkylidenecyclopentanes in excellent chemoselectivity and chemical yields. Incorporating an electron-withdrawing group at the acetylenic position showed to be better substrates for the present cycloreduction.
