Synthesis, structures and some chemical and electrochemical properties of E-1,2-diferrocenyl-3-methylthioprop-2-enone and its ketals

2,3-Diferrocenyl-1-methylthiocyclopropenylium iodide reacts with water, metal alkoxides, phenolates and with alcohols in the presence of Et₃N to give E-1,2-diferrocenyl-3-methylthioprop-2-enone or its ketals. Their structures were established based on data from ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. The mechanistic aspects of these reactions are discussed. Electrochemical properties of 8 and 13b have been studied. The compounds present two oxidation processes (I-II), attributed to the oxidations of the ferrocenes groups, E^0′(I), E^0′(II), ΔE^0′(II-I) and comproportionation constant K_com are reported.     

The protonation of three-membered ring molecules Theab initio SCF versus the electrostatic picture of the proton approach

The protonation processes for eight three-membered ring molecules have been investigated using the SCF LCAO MO method with Gaussian basis sets and the results are compared with those obtained at the first order approximation, i.e. the electrostatic approximation. The electrostatic results are linearly connected with the SCF ones and are sufficient to get an ordering of the protonation energies in different chemical sites and to obtain reliable representations of the proton approaching paths.

Ring-Cleavage Reactions of Five- and Six-Membered Cyclic Ethers with Organolithium Compounds

In the presence of one equivalent of boron trifluoride etherate, organolithium compounds cause the ring cleavage reactions of tetrahydrofurans and tetrahydropyran to give the corresponding long-chain alcohols in moderate yields. These reactions are highly regioselective for unsymmetric cyclic ethers.     

三正丁基膦参与的二苯联硒与吖啶及环氧化合物的开环反应

Aziridines and epoxides were reacted with diphenyl diselenide in the presence of a stoichiometric amount of （n-Bu）3P, respectively, giving β-amino- or β-hydroxy selenides in moderate to excellent yields under mild conditions. In the reactions the （n-Bu）3P might act as a reductant though it was a nucleophilic catalyst in other similar ring-opening reactions.     

Reactions of phenyllithium with lithium aluminum hydride in diethyl ether

Reactions of phenyllithium with LiAlH₄ in diethyl ether have been studied in detail. Lithium hydride, as an insoluble solid, and LiAlPh_n H_4?n (where n = 2 or 3)_in solution, are formed when the PhLi to LiAlH₄ ratio is 2/1and 3/1. However, Li₃AlH₆ is formed when LiAlH₄ is added to an equimolar solution of PhLi in diethyl ether. The integrity of the products have been established by IR, NMR and X-ray powder diffraction pattern.

非对称环氧乙烷的区域选择性亲核开环反应

本文总结了常用亲核试剂对非对称环氧乙烷的亲核开环反应及其区域选择性。强亲核性的亲核试剂通常只受空间效应影响,进攻非对称环氧乙烷位阻小的碳原子,对于烯基取代环氧乙烷还可以进攻烯基的β-碳原子发生S_N2'开环反应,其他亲核试剂同时受空间效应和电子效应的影响,对于烷基环氧乙烷通常进攻其取代少的碳原子, 空间效应起主导作用,而对芳基和烯基取代环氧乙烷开环反应通常发生在环氧乙烷芳甲位和烯丙位的碳原子上, 电子效应起主导作用。在质子酸或强Lewis酸存在下,虽然单烷基环氧乙烷的开环仍然发生在其取代少的碳原子上,但对于芳基、烯基和同碳双取代环氧乙烷,亲核开环反应将主要受电子效应控制,一般亲核试剂倾向于进攻环氧乙烷的芳甲位、烯丙位或多取代的碳原子。分子内的亲核开环反应主要受成环时环大小的控制, 成环时的倾向是五元环> 六元环> 七元环。环氧乙烷亲核开环的区域选择性是环氧乙烷和亲核试剂空间效应和电子效应平衡的结果。     

非对称环硫乙烷的区域选择性亲核开环反应

环硫乙烷与它的氧类似物环氧乙烷和氮类似物氮杂环丙烷一样,是一类重要的有机合成中间体,在医药和农用化学品工业领域也得到广泛应用。通过开环和异构化反应,还广泛用于制备硫醇和硫醚等含硫化合物。本文总结了常用亲核试剂对非对称环硫乙烷的亲核开环反应及其区域选择性。环硫乙烷的亲核开环反应通常只受空间效应影响,亲核试剂进攻非对称环硫乙烷位阻小的碳原子,对于烯基取代的环硫乙烷有时可以进攻烯基的β碳原子发生SN2’开环反应。强亲核性的亲核试剂容易致使环硫乙烷脱硫生成烯烃,而亲核性相对较弱的亲核试剂容易发生多聚反应生成多硫醚。在Lewis酸存在下,电子效应会对开环反应的区域选择性产生影响,甚至起主导作用。虽然烷基取代环硫乙烷在Lewis酸存在下的开环仍然主要发生在其取代基少的碳原子上(位阻控制),但受电子效应影响,芳基和烯基取代环硫乙烷的亲核开环,其亲核试剂一般倾向于进攻环硫乙烷的芳甲位和烯丙位碳原子(电子效应控制)。

Acylpyruvic acids readily react with 2,3-diaminopyridine to form (Z)-3-acylmethylene-1H-3,4-di- hydropyrido[2,3-b]pyrazin-2-ones. 5-Aryl-2,3-dihydrofuran-2,3-diones which can be regarded as lactones derived from -enolized aroylpyruvic acids react with 2,3-diaminopyridine under mild conditions, yielding regioisomeric (Z)-2-aroylmethylene-4H-1,2-dihydropyrido[2,3-b]pyrazin-3-ones. The structure of the products and reaction chemoselectivity are discussed.     

Chemoselectivity Control in the Reactions of 1,2‐Cyclic Sulfamidates with Amines

Although 1,2‐cyclic sulfamidates derived from α‐methylisoserine undergo nucleophilic displacement at the quaternary center, to the best of our knowledge their behavior with amines as nucleophiles has never been explored. We have found that a broad range of amines can be used, demonstrating the scope of the reaction, and that excellent control of the chemoselectivity can be achieved. Application of this methodology for the synthesis of a chiral α,β‐diamino acid and an important piperazinone heterocycle is also presented. Additionally, we have found that DMF and DMSO behave not only as polar aprotic solvents but also as O‐nucleophilic reagents, allowing the incorporation of an oxygen atom at a quaternary center of the electrophile, with inversion of configuration.     

Rhodium-catalyzed Asymmetric Ring-opening Reactions of N-Boc-azabenzonorbornadiene with N-Substituted Piperazine Nucleophiles

Asymmetric ring‐opening reactions of N‐Boc‐azabenzonorbornadiene with N‐substituted piperazine nucleophiles in the presence of 5 mol% of [Rh(COD)Cl]₂ and 10 mol% of chiral ligand, (R,S)‐PPF‐P‐t‐Bu₂, gave the corresponding 1,2‐diamine product in moderate to excellent yields (up to 95%) with reasonable enantiomeric excesses (up to 70% ee). The results showed that the nature of ligands had significant influence on the yields and the enantiomeric excesses.     

Reactions of 2(3)-ethoxycarbonyl-5,6,7,8-tetrafluorochromones with methylamine

2-Ethoxycarbonyl-5,6,7,8-tetrafluorochromone reacts with methylamine differently, depending on the solvent nature and the amount of the amine: in DMSO and MeCN, the fluorine atom at the C(7) atom is initially replaced and then the C(2) and/or C(9) are attacked, while in ethanol, the reaction involves the C(2) atom with opening of the pyrone ring. The reaction of 3-ethoxycarbonyl-5,6,7,8-tetrafluoro-2-methylchromone with methylamine results, regardless of the solvent, in opening of the chromone ring and the formation of intermediate ethyl 3-(3,4,5,6-tetrafluoro-2-hydroxyphenyl)-2-(1-methylamino)ethylidene-3-oxopropionate, which undergoes intramolecular cyclization to give 5,6,7,8-tetrafluoro-3-(1-methyl-amino)ethylidene-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzopyran-2,4-dione. Dedicated to Academician N. S. Zefirov on the occasion of his 70th birthday. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 9, pp. 2093–2098, September, 2005.     

Highly Active Organocatalysts for Asymmetric anti-Mannich Reactions

Lighten the load! A family of enantiopure 4-oxy-substituted 3-aminopyrrolidines arising from the enantioselective ring-opening of meso-3-pyrroline oxide have been developed as catalysts for the asymmetric, anti-selective Mannich reaction (see scheme; PMP=p-methoxyphenyl; PG=protecting group). Very high catalytic activity (down to 0.01 mol?% loading) and stereoselectivity have been recorded.     

Reactions of perfluorobenzocycloalkenes with ethyl cyanoacetate and methyllithium and some transformations of the products

Reactions of perfluorobenzocycloalkenes (Ar_FF) with methyllithium and ethyl cyanoacetate involved replacement of fluorine atoms in positions 3 and 4 of perfluorocyclobutabenzene, position 5 of perfluoroindan, and position 6 of perfluorotetralin by CH₃ and CH(CN)COOEt groups. Hydrolysis of the resulting esters Ar_FCH(CN)COOEt gave the corresponding perfluoroarylacetic acids Ar_FCH₂COOH which were converted into dichloroacetyl chlorides Ar_FCCl₂COCl by treatment with PCl₅. The reaction of Ar_FCCl₂COCl with SbF₅ produced trifluoromethyl derivatives Ar_FCF₃. Decarboxylation of Ar_FCCl₂COOH in DMF afforded dichloromethyl derivatives Ar_FCCl₂H which reacted with CsF on heating to form difluoromethyl analogs Ar_FCF₂H.     

Highly Enantioselective Ring‐Opening Reactions of Aziridines with Indole and Its Application in the Building of C3‐Halogenated Pyrroloindolines

A magnesium‐catalyzed asymmetric ring‐opening reaction of aziridine with indole has been realized by employing commercially available chiral ligands. Both of the enantiomers of the ring‐opening product could be obtained with good yields and a high level of enantioselectivity. The corresponding ring‐opening product could be further transformed to various types of enantioenriched C₃‐halogenated‐pyrroloindolines.
