Regioselective orthopalladation of (Z)-2-aryl-4-arylidene-5(4H)-oxazolones: scope, kinetico-mechanistic, and density functional theory studies of the C-H bond activation

Orthopalladated complexes derived from (Z)-2-aryl-4-arylidene-5(4H)-oxazolones have been prepared by reaction of the oxazolone with palladium acetate in acidic medium. The reaction is regioselective, only the ortho C-H bond of the arylidene ring being activated, producing a six-membered ring. The scope and reaction conditions of the orthopalladation are dependent on the acidity of the solvent. In CF(3)CO(2)H a large number of oxazolones can be metalated under mild conditions. As acidity decreases a lesser number of oxazolones can be efficiently palladated and harsher conditions must be used to achieve similar yields. The C-H bond activation in acidic medium agrees with an ambiphilic mechanism, as determined from kinetic measurements at variable temperature and pressure for different oxazolones substituted at the arylidene ring. The mechanism has been confirmed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, where the formation of the six-membered ring is shown to be favored from both a kinetic and a thermodynamic perspective. In addition, the dependence of the reaction rate on the acidity of the medium has also been accounted for via a fine-tuning between the C-H agostic precoordination and the proton abstraction reaction in the overall process occurring on coordinatively saturated [Pd(κ(N)-oxazolone)(RCO(2)H)(3)](2+).     

Structure, Spectra, and Reaction Energies of the Aluminum-Nitrogen (HAl-NH)(2) and (H(2)Al-NH(2))(2) Rings and the (HAl-NH)(4) Cluster

Rings of four-coordinate aluminum and nitrogen are easily synthesized and well studied, as are clusters of four-coordinate Al and N. Only recently, however, have rings that are derivatives of the model compounds (HAl-NH)(n)() (n = 2, 3) with three-coordinate Al and N been synthesized. Ab initio investigations of the structure, bonding, vibrational spectra, and reaction energies for the three-coordinate ring (HAl-NH)(2), the four-coordinate ring (H(2)Al-NH(2))(2), and the four-coordinate cluster (HAl-NH)(4) are presented. Even in the absence of differences in steric factors, the four-membered ring has longer Al-N bonds than either the six-membered ring or the unassociated aluminum amide, H(2)Al-NH(2). This is due to both rehybridization and pi interactions. Theoretical reaction energies for formation of the (HAl-NH)(4) cluster from the (H(2)Al-NH(2))(2) ring are consistent with intermolecular loss of hydrogen, or the necessity of surface catalysis.     

(R/S)A2- or (R,S/S,R)p,p'-[Pd(kappa(2)-P,P-[P(OC6H3But2-2,4)2N(Me)C(O)N(Me)PPh(2)]Cl2]: chirality created by ring tilting

The reaction of the unsymmetric bisphosphanyl urea ligand P(OC(6)H(3)Bu(t)(2)-2,4)(2)N(Me)C(O)N(Me)PPh(2) with [Pd(cod)Cl(2)] (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) results in the chiral palladacycle (R,S)(A2)-[Pd(kappa(2)-P,P-[P(OC(6)H(3)Bu(t)(2)-2,4)(2)N(Me)C(O)N(Me)PPh(2)]Cl(2)]. The chirality of the title compound is caused by the tilting of the central, six-membered PdP(2)N(2)C ring along one of the two P-N vectors and comprises two chiral planes and one chiral axis.     

Structure and behavior of organic analytical reagents : Chelates of 2-(o-hydroxyphenyl)-benzoxazole, 2-(o-hydroxyphenyl)-benzothiazole and 2-(o-hydroxyphenyl)-benzothiazoline.

The reactions of the chelating reagents named in the title, with a number of metal ions, have been studied in order to evaluate the behavior of reagents containing reactive groupings analogous to those of 8-hydroxyquinoline, but so arranged as to form six-membered ring chelates with metal ions. All three reagents have been found to give less stable chelates than 8-hydroxyquinoline, indicating that for this type of reagent, six-membered ring chelates are less stable than five. 2-(o-Hydroxy-phenyl)-benzoxazole and 2-(o-hydroxyphenyl)-benzothiazole have been found to be potentially useful as organic precipitating agents for metal ions, being more selective than 8-hydroxyquinoline, which they somewhat resemble in behavior. In contrast to the oxazole and thiazole, 2-(o-hydroxyphenyl)-benzothiazoline was found to react with most of the metal ions tried. Because of the solubility of its chelates in organic solvents, 2-(o-hydroxyphenyl)-benzothiazoline may be a useful solvent extraction agent for metal ions.

Synthesis, structure, and electrochemical properties of a family of 2-(arylazo)phenolate complexes of ruthenium with unusual C-C coupling and N=N cleavage

Reaction of 2-(4'-R-phenylazo)-4-methylphenols (R = OCH3, CH3, H, Cl, and NO2) with [Ru(dmso)(4)Cl2]affords a family of five ruthenium(III) complexes, containing a 2-(arylazo)phenolate ligand forming a six-membered chelate ring and a tetradentate ligand formed from two 2-(arylazo)phenols via an unusual C-C coupling linking the two ortho carbons of the phenyl rings in the arylazo fragment. A similar reaction with 2-(2'-methylphenylazo)-4-methylphenol with [Ru(dmso)(4)Cl2] has afforded a similar complex, in which one 2-(2'-methylphenylazo)-4-methylphenolate ligand is coordinated forming a six-membered chelate ring, and the other two ligands have undergone the C-C coupling reaction, and the coupled species is coordinated as a tetradentate ligand forming a five-membered N,O-chelate ring, a nine-membered N,N-chelate ring, and another five-membered chelate ring. Reaction of 2-(2',6'-dimethylphenylazo)-4-methylphenol with [Ru(dmso)(4)Cl2] has afforded a complex in which two 2-(2',6'-dimethylphenylazo)-4-methylphenols are coordinated as bidentate N,O-donors forming five- and six-membered chelate rings, while the third one has undergone cleavage across the N=N bond, and the phenolate fragment, thus generated, remains coordinated to the metal center in the iminosemiquinonate form. Structures of four selected complexes have been determined by X-ray crystallography. The first six complexes are one-electron paramagnetic and show rhombic ESR spectra. The last complex is diamagnetic and shows characteristic 1H NMR signals. All the complexes show intense charge-transfer transitions in the visible region and a Ru(III)-Ru(IV) oxidation on the positive side of SCE and a Ru(III)-Ru(II) reduction on the negative side.     

Square planar complexes of nickel(II), palladium(II) and platinum(II) with 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3,5-diphenylformazan

Summary A novel series of formazan complexes of general formula FoML [H₂Fo = 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3,5-diphenylformazan; M = Ni^II, Pd^II or Pt^II; L = NH₃, py and Ph₃P] are described. The formazan nickel(II) system shows linkage isomerism; one isomer, A, contains an unusual five-membered formazan chelate ring, whereas the other, isomer B, has the usual six-membered ring.¹³C n.m.r., u.v. and i.r. spectra are presented and interpreted. From these the palladium and platinum complexes appear to contain the six-membered ring of the B type isomer.     

Chemistry of organosilicon compounds : LXXI. Ring closure of (4-pentenyl)hydrosilanes by intramolecular hydrosilylation with transition metal salts

The intramolecular hydrosilylation of (4-pentenyl)hydrosilanes with transition metal salt catalysts afforded five- and six-membered ring-closure products in high yields, with the former predominating. This has been rationalized in terms of a reaction scheme based on the Harrod—Chalk mechanism in which both Si-metal and C-metal bonds were involved. The seven-membered intermediate leading to the six-membered ring products is apparently less favorable than the six-membered intermediate. However, with dicobalt octacarbonyl, no ring closure occurred, and only izomerization was observed.     

The Crystal Structure of (2 R, 7 S, 10 R)-2,10-diamino-5,5,7-trimethyl-4,8-diazaundecanenickel (II) perchlorate

The structure of the title compound, a tricyclic Ni(II) tetra-amine complex has been determined from analysis of photographic X-ray data. The crystal system is orthorhombic, space group P2₁2₁2₁, with unit cell dimensions a = 9.802, b = 8.998, c = 24.378 Å. The Ni atom is square planar coordinated. The six-membered chelate ring has a chair conformation. One of the five-membered chelate rings has a distorted gauche (λ) conformation with the methyl substituent in an equatorial position, the other has an unsymmetrical gauche (δ) conformation with the methyl substituent axial.     

Highly efficient, base-catalysed, intramolecular hydroamination of non-activated olefins

The intramolecular hydroamination of a large variety of non-activated alkenes can be efficiently catalysed by small amounts of lithium bases, providing smoothly and in high yields the corresponding five- and six-membered ring heterocycles. Fused and bridged bicyclic amines, of varying ring sizes, can be readily prepared either by a sequential hydroamination process or by a tandem, double addition reaction.

Über den pentacylischen Chrom (III)-Komplex aus 1,6-Di-(2-amino-benzolsulfonamido)-hexan ⇉β-Naphtol

A five- or six-membered ring in pentacyclic azo-dyestuff-chromium complexes with the sandwich arrangement, having sulphonamido groups as complex formers, was extended into a nine-membered ring. This altered not only the electron spectrum but also the stability of the complex. Whilst the five- and six-membered pentacycles are very stable, the corresponding nine-membered ring complex is considerably less stable. Its stability approaches that of the corresponding 1:2-Cr complexes which, because of deformed valency angles, are very strained and, therefore, are also very unstable. This tension is counteracted in pentacycles having a lower number of members (5 and 6), and so the system is stabilised. If the number of ring members is increased, this counteraction is reduced and, therefore, the stabilising effect is lessened.     

[Me2AlBi(SiMe3)2]3—The First Structurally Characterized Organometallic Compound Containing a Bond between an Element of Group 13 and Bi

Dehydrosilylation of Bi(SiMe₃)₃ with Me₂AlH gave the title compound. This has a trimeric structure, the central unit of which is a six-membered Al₃Bi₃ ring (see structure). In agreement with the VSEPR model the angles are greater at the Al centers and smaller at the Bi centers.     

Das cyclische Thioarsenat(III) (PPh4)2As2S6

The Cyclic Thioarsenate(III) (PPh₄)₂As₂S₆ The reaction of Na₃AsS₄ with tetraphenylphosphonium chloride in ethanol or dimethylformamide proceeds with an intramolecular redox reaction, yielding (PPh₄)₂As₂S₆. According to its X-ray crystal structure analysis (4071 reflections, R = 0.070) the anion consists of a six-membered ring of two As and four S atoms in the chair conformation. The As atoms occupy the ring positions 1 and 3, and each of them has an additional terminal S atom.     

Synthetic procedure for various selenium-containing electron donors of the bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (BEDT-TTF) type

Six selenium variants of BEDT-TTF have been successfully synthesized by a newly developed synthetic method that involves a combination of two key reactions for the construction of two kinds of heterocyclic rings: the first is a one-pot formation of 1,3-dichalcogenole-2-chalcogenones from a common starting material, THP-protected 2-(ethynylthio)ethanol, leading to the inner five-membered rings, and the other is the annelation of the outer six-membered heterocyclic ring onto the inner ring by an intramolecular transalkylation reaction on a chalcogen atom. This method turned out to be widely applicable to the syntheses of the electron donors of bis(ethylenedithio)- and bis(ethyleneselenothio)-substituted types. However, synthetic attempts to form analogous donors of the bis(ethylenediseleno)-substituted type from THP-protected 2-(ethynylseleno)ethanol were unsuccessful. This is attributable to the predominance of side-reactions via a seleniranium (episelenonium) salt over the desired six-membered ring formation by transalkylation via a seleninium salt.     

Synthesis of methyl epijasmonate and cis-3-(2-oxopropyl)-2-(pent-2Z-enyl)-cyclopentan-1-one

A novel and efficient synthesis of both (±)-methyl epijasmonate and (±)-cis-3-(2-oxopropyl)-2-(pent-2Z-enyl)-cyclopentan-1-one is described. The key step to establish the cis-stereochemistry on the 5-membered ring is an ionic Diels–Alder reaction, which is high yielding and highly regioselective. Subsequent key steps include oxidative cleavage of the six-membered ring, Wittig coupling and for the synthesis of epijasmonate, the haloform reaction.     

Six-membered ring chelate complexes of Ru(II): structural and photophysical effects

The structural and photophysical properties of Ru(II)-polypyridyl complexes with five- and six-membered chelate rings were studied for two bis-tridentate and two tris-bidentate complexes. The photophysical effect of introducing a six-membered chelate ring is most pronounced for the tridentate complex, leading to a room-temperature excited-state lifetime of 810 ns, a substantial increase from 180 ns for the five-membered chelate ring model complex. Contrasting this, the effect is the opposite in tris-bidentate complexes, in which the lifetime decreases from 430 ns to around 1 ns in going from a five-membered to six-membered chelate ring. All of the complexes were studied spectroscopically at both 80 K and ambient temperatures, and the temperature dependence of the excited-state lifetime was investigated for both of the bis-tridentate complexes. The main reason for the long excited-state lifetime in the six-membered chelate ring bis-tridentate complex was found to be a strong retardation of the activated decay via metal-centered states, largely due to an increased ligand field splitting due to the complex having a more-octahedral geometry.

Atrane-analogous Compounds. III. Atrane-analogous Compounds of the Type Me₂DCH₂CH₂OSi(Me)(OCH₂ CH₂)₂ D′Me (I) and Type Me₂DCH₂CH₂OSi(Me) OCH₂CH₂₂D″Me₂ (II) (Me?CH₃; D, D′, D″?N, P, As) Atrane analogous compounds I and II (Abb. 1) have been prepared by condensation reactions of trifunctional silanes RSiX₃ (X?Cl, OEt, NMe₂) with N-methyldiethanolamine, ß-chloroethanol, ß-dimethylaminoethanol, and ß-dimethylarsanoethanol according to eqn. (1) to (3) and reaction schemes of Figs. 2 and 3, respectively. For compounds of type I weak N→Si adduct bonding is indicated for the MeN-donor of the eight-membered ring by significant shifts of the MeNCH₂ and OCH₂ proton n.m.r. signals. For compounds of type II there is no n.m.r. evidence for D→Si interactions. In spite of equal Lewis acidity of the Si atoms differences in adduct formation are observed for cage, ring, and acyclic podand systems, which can be explained mainly by entropy effects connected to the formation of five-membered rings.     

Simplified analogues of qinghaosu (artemisinin)

Three new simplified analogues of qinghaosu have been designed and synthesized through simple routes without recourse to the commonly employed photosensitized oxidation. The peroxy bonds in the target molecules were taken from UHP with the first peroxy-carbon bond formed through a hemiketal exchange reaction and the second by either an intramolecular Michael addition or a Hg(II)-mediated ring-closure reaction. All three peroxides possess a seven-membered peroxy ring fused to an all-carbon six-membered ring, a structural motif required for generating the carbon-centered substituted ethyl radicals.
