Dynamic Interconversion between Boroxine Cages Based on Pyridine Ligation

Dynamic interconversion between large covalent organic cages was achieved simply by heating or acid/base treatment. A mixture of the boroxine cages 12‐mer and 15‐mer was cleanly converted into a pyridine adduct of the 9‐mer boroxine cage upon treatment with pyridine, and the geometry of N‐coordinated boron atoms changed from trigonal to tetrahedral. The reverse reaction was achieved by heating or acid treatment. In this process, the larger boroxine cages 12‐mer and 15‐mer were found to be entropically favored owing to the release of free pyridine molecules from 9‐mer ?6 Py.     

Reaction of B2(o‐tol)4 with CO and Isocyanides: Cleavage of the C≡O Triple Bond and Direct C−H Borylations

The reaction of highly Lewis acidic tetra(o‐tolyl)diborane(4) with CO afforded a mixture of boraindane and boroxine by the cleavage of the C≡O triple bond. ¹³C labeling experiments confirmed that the carbon atom in the boraindane stems from CO. Simultaneously, formation of boroxine 3 could be considered as borylene transfer to capture the oxygen atom from CO. The reaction of diborane(4) with ^tBu?NC afforded an azaallene, while the reaction with Xyl?NC furnished cyclic compounds by direct C?H borylations.     

The synthesis and characterization of phenylacetylene tripodal compounds containing boroxine cores

A convergent synthesis of phenylacetylene tripodal compounds containing boroxine cores has been accomplished. The boroxine cores are assembled in high yield either by chemical dehydration or ligand-facilitated trimerization of the corresponding monomeric boronic acids.     

Bromination of tri(isopropyl)boroxine and asymmetric synthesis of (2-cyano-3,3-dimethylcyclopropyl)boronic esters

Bromination of triisopropylboroxine to tris(1-bromo-1-methylethyl)boroxine is far more facile than -bromination of sec-alkylboronic esters. Normal fluorescent room light is sufficient to initiate the free radical reaction, which can be carried out as a titration. The steric environment for replacement of the bromine by lithioacetonitrile and subsequent asymmetric insertion of a chloromethyl group into the carbon---boron bond is more highly hindered than what has been studied previously, and the pinanediol ester proved to be the only useful chiral boronic ester in such circumstances. Cyclization of the cyano-substituted boronic ester to the corresponding cyclopropylboronic ester yielded a mixture of diastereomers, presumably the result of base-induced epimerization of the initially formed major isomer having the boronic ester and cyano groups trans.

Lewis acid stabilized methylidene and oxoscandium complexes

The methylidene scandium complex (PNP)Sc(mu3-CH2)(mu2-CH3)2[Al(CH3)2]2 (PNP = N[2-P(CHMe2)2-4-methylphenyl]2-) can be prepared from the reaction of (PNP)Sc(CH3)2 and 2 equiv of Al(CH3)3. The Lewis acid stabilized methylidenes candium complex has been crystallographically characterized, and its bonding scheme analyzed by DFT. In addition, we report preliminary reactivity studies of the Sc-CH2 ligand with substrates such as H2NAr and OCPh2. While the former results in an Br?nsted acid-base reaction, the latter reagent produces the olefin H2C CPh2 along with the novel oxoscandium complex (PNP)Sc(mu3-O)(mu2-CH3)2[Al(CH3)2]2, quantitatively.     

A Neutral Geminal Tin/Phosphorus Frustrated Lewis Pair

The geminal frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) (F₅C₂)₃SnCH₂P(tBu)₂ ( 2 ) was prepared by reacting (F₅C₂)₃SnCl with LiCH₂P(tBu)₂. It is neutral and contains an extremely electronegatively substituted, but relatively soft (hard–soft acid–base, HSAB) acidic tin function. Its FLP‐type reactivity was proven by reaction with a variety of small molecules (CO₂, SO₂, CS₂, PhNCO, HCl, (Ph₃P)AuCl). However, it shows no reaction in H/D scrambling experiments with H₂/D₂ mixtures and binds CO₂ reversibly, as was observed by VT‐NMR spectroscopy. Compound 2 and all its adducts were completely characterized by means of multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and X‐ray diffraction experiments.     

Efficient Lewis Acids Catalyzed Aza-Michael Reactions of Enones with Carbamates

The β-amino carbonyl functionality is not only a segment of biologically important natural products but also a versatile intermediate for the synthesis of nitrogen-containing compounds.1 The development of novel synthetic methods leading to β-amino ketone, β-amino acids or their derivatives has attracted much attention in organic synthesis.2 Among the traditional methods for generating β-amino carbonyl compounds, Mannich-type reaction is one of the classical and powerful methods.3 However,…

A novel Pt/Au/C cathode catalyst for direct methanol fuel cells with simultaneous methanol tolerance and oxygen promotion

A novel Pt/Au/C catalyst was prepared by depositing the Pt and Au nanoparticles on the carbon support. The synthesized catalysts were characterized by energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and electrochemically analyzed for activity towards oxygen-reduction reaction and methanol oxidation reaction. EDX and TEM results reveal that Pt nanoparticles supported on carbon supports were separated by Au nanoparticles. The electrochemical analysis indicate that the novel catalyst showed the enhanced methanol tolerance while maintaining a high catalytic activity for the oxygen-reduction reaction, which could be attributed to the less methanol adsorption on Pt/Au/C catalyst.     

Novel polyesters and polyester/Cloisite 30B nanocomposites based on a new rhodanine-based monomer

A novel bis-diol monomer, 3,3'-bis-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2,2'-dithioxo-[5,5']bithiazolidinylidene-4,4'-dione, was prepared in a one-pot three component reaction and used in a polyesterification reaction with various aromatic dicarboxylic acids using tosyl chloride/dimethylformamide/pyridine system as a condensing agent in order to generate a series of new polyesters. The prepared polyesters were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. In the next part, a series of polyester/clay nanocomposites were synthesized through a polyesterification reaction of the synthesized monomer with iso-phthalic acid. Cloisite 30B was used as the filler at different concentrations. Wide-angle X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy studies showed that the organoclay layers are mainly exfoliated in the nanocomposites containing 1 wt % of Cloisite 30B.

Unambiguous cis-coordination of mono- and bi-dentate Lewis bases to Ni(SN)2 Schiff-base complexes derived from S-alkyl dithiocarbazate

The bidentate Schiff-base ligand, HL¹, prepared by condensation of equivalent molar amount of o-nitrobenzaldehyde with S-benzyl dithiocarbazate, yielded the neutral square-planar complex, NiL¹₂ (1) in the presence of Ni(OAc)₂·4H₂O. Addition of pyridine to (1) and phenanthroline (phen) to NiL (3) afforded the adducts NiL¹₂(py)₂·1.5H₂O (2) and NiL(phen) (4), respectively, where H₂L is a known quadridentate (NS)₂ ligand. Single crystal X-ray analysis of (2) and (4) showed that the pyridine rings and phen occupy cis-positions in the octahedral adducts. In both cases, one N–Ni bond in the parent Ni(NS)₂ complexes is severely perturbed, thus facilitating cis-addition of the Lewis bases. The present results together with those reported previously show that cis-addition is preferred in the addition reaction of Ni(NS)₂ Schiff-base complexes derived from S-alkyl dithiocarbazate. Addition of pyridine and 2,2′-bipyridine to NiL (3) is also discussed.     

Planar Chiral Organoborane Lewis Acids Derived from Naphthylferrocene

Enantiomerically pure metalated 2‐(1‐naphthyl)ferrocene (NpFc) derivatives NpFcM (M=SnMe₃, HgCl) were prepared and characterized by multinuclear NMR and UV/Vis spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and elemental analysis. Optical rotation measurements were performed and the absolute configuration of the new planar chiral ferrocene species was confirmed by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. The mercuriated species NpFcHgCl proved suitable as a reagent for the preparation of the chiral organoborane Lewis acid NpFcBCl₂, which can in turn be converted to other ferrocenylboranes by replacement of Cl with nucleophiles. The highly Lewis acidic perfluoroarylborane derivatives NpFcB(C₆F₅)Cl and NpFcB(C₆F₅)₂ were successfully prepared by treatment with CuC₆F₅. The structures were studied by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction and variable‐temperature ¹⁹F NMR spectroscopy, which suggested that π stacking of a C₆F₅ group on boron with the adjacent naphthyl group is energetically favorable. UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry measurements were performed to examine the electronic properties of these novel redox‐active chiral Lewis acids.
