Reaction of halides with tricarbonylcyclohexadienyliron cation: Preparation of tricarbonyl(5exo-Fluorocyclohexa-1,3-diene)iron

Tricarbonyl(5-exo-fluorocyclohexa-1,3-diene)iron has been prepared by reaction of tricarbonyl(cyclohexadienyl)iron cation with KF in the presence of 18-crown-6. Reactions of chloride and bromide salts of potassium also give unstable 5-substituted compounds while the iodo salt reacts to form a mixture of the ring and metal substituted products.     

Rh2(oac)4-catalyzed reactions of methyl diazoacetate with 1,3-oxazolidines and 1,3-oxathiolanes

Methoxycarbonylcarbene generated by catalytic decomposition of methyl diazoacetate in the presence of Rh₂(OAc)₄, is regioselectively inserted into the C(2)-O bond of 3-alkyl-2-phenyl-1,3-oxazolidines and into the C(2)-S bond of 2-phenyl-1,3-oxathiolane. Study by the competitive reaction method demonstrated that the relative reactivity toward the insertion of the methoxycarbonylcarbene fragment into the C-heteroatom bond increases in the series of 1,3-dioxolane, 1,3-oxazolidine, and 1,3-oxathiolane.

Reaction of tricarbonyl(dienal)iron complexes with B-allyldiisopinocampheylborane

Addition of allyldiisopinocampheylborane to racemic (dienal)iron complexes, followed by oxidation, affords diastereomeric (1,4,6-trien-3-ol)iron complexes with moderate to low enantioselectivity. The high enantioselectivity typically observed for this allylborane reagent is attenuated by steric interaction between the Fe(CO)₃ group and the chiral isopinocampheyl groups. Further diminution of the enantioselectivity is observed for dienal complexes in which one rotomer predominates.     

3(1,3-Heterazolidin-3-yl-methyl)-1,3-oxazolidines and their reduction with borane–THF

Preparation of bis-heterazolidines bonded by a CH₂, CH₂–S–CH₂ or CH₂SCH₂SCH₂ groups through their nitrogen atoms is reported: 3-(1,3-oxazolidin-3-ylmethyl)-1,3-oxazolidine 1, 3-(4,4-dimethyl-1,3-oxazolidin-3-ylmethyl)-1,3-oxazolidine 2, 3-(1,3-diazolidin-3-ylmethyl)-1,3-diazolidine 3, 3-(1,3-thiazolidin-3-ylmethyl)-1,3-thiazolidine 4, 3-(1,3-thiazolidin-3-ylmethylsulfanylmethyl)-1,3-thiazolidine 5 and 3-(1,3-oxazolidin-3-ylmethylsulfanylmethyl-sulfanylmethyl)-1,3-oxazolidine 6. The solid state structures of 4 and 5 were determined by X-ray diffraction analyses. BH₃–THF reduction reactions of compounds 1–6 were investigated. N→BH₃ mono- and di-adducts of 1–6 were prepared and their structures calculated (ab initio 3-21G*).     

Regioselective lithiation of II-(arene)chromium tricarbonyl complexes

Chromium tricarbonyl complexes of 3-methoxybenzyl alcohol and related compounds were selectively lithiated at the 4-position in contrast to the corresponding metal free arene compounds. The resulting 4-lithio complexes were converted to the 4-substituted arene compounds in moderate to excellent yields through the reactions with proper electrophiles and subsequent demetalation.     

Synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted-1,3-oxazolidines

A series of 2-aryl-3-alkyl or aryl carbamoyl- and thiocarbamoyl-1,3-oxazolidines was prepared by the reactions of alkyl and aryl isocyanates and isothiocyanates with N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-benzalamincs. The nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of these compounds are discussed.     

New tricarbonyl(amido-substituted-1,3-diene)iron complexes

X-substituded benzamides (X = H; 2-OH; 4-MeO; 3-MeO; 3,5-(MeO)₂; 4-Cl and 2,4-Cl₂) have been shown to add reversibly to the dienyl rings of the organometallic compounds [(dienyl)Fe(CO)₃]BF₄ (dienyl = C₆H₇, 2-MeOC₆H₆ or C₇H₉) to give the corresponding cationic tricarbonyl(substituted-diene)iron complexes.     

Radical additions to (eta6-styrene) chromium tricarbonyl

[reaction: see text] Alkyl radical addition reactions to styrene chromium tricarbonyl can be accomplished using alkyl halides and tris(trimethylsilyl)silane in the presence of AIBN in refluxing benzene. The ketyl generated from acetone with SmI2 in THF/HMPA also underwent successful addition. These addition reactions are believed to proceed through intermediates in which the radical is interacting with an adjacent arene chromium tricarbonyl functionality and do not appear to be complicated by polymerization.     

Diastereoselective addition of organolithiums to 1,3-oxazolidines complexed with aluminum tris(2,6-diphenylphenoxide) (ATPH)

1,3-Oxazolidines were easily obtained by condensation of N-substituted (R)-phenylglycinol with aldehydes. Addition of organolithium reagents to 1,3-oxazolidines by complexation with the bulky Lewis acid aluminum tris(2,6-diphenylphenoxide) (ATPH) readily produced the corresponding chiral amines with good yield and high diastereoselectivity. The configuration of the new stereogenic center was shown to be opposite to that of adducts obtained for the same 1,3-oxazolidines using Grignard reagents. The best diastereoselectivity was achieved using N-isopropyl-1,3-oxazolidines. The mechanism of addition was deduced by determining the stereochemistry of the iminium-aluminum complex by NOE experiments.

1,3-双(N-取代苯氨基)方酸内鎓盐的合成

在方酸内鎓盐中,四碳环的电荷分离使其氧原子带部分负电荷,成为潜在的良好配位基。 据此,作者于前文中合成了以双苯氨基方酸内鎓盐为骨架、苯环的2—位对称引入多甘醇醚氧 链的多齿配体,并以它们为萃取剂或电活性物质成功地实现了水相中UO_2~(2 )的萃取及碱水中NH_3 的测定。如果配基链由苯环的2—位移至N上,整个配体分子的几何及电子结构将发生改变, 四碳环上的氧与侧链的匹配情况也将不同。此外,苯环上的取代基将可能通过共轭体系直接影响 四碳环上氧的电荷状态及配位能力。因此,本文合成并研究了一类新的1,3—双(N—取代苯氨基) 方酸内鎓盐型多齿配体2(a～h)(见下式)。     

N-substituted tetrahydro-1,3-oxazines and -oxazolidines. 2. Nitration of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(ω-acylamino-β,β-dinitroalkyl)tetrahydro-1,3-oxazines and -oxazolidines

Nitration of N-(ω-acylamino0-β,β-dinitroalkyl)tetrahydro-1,3-oxazines and N-(ω-acylamino-β,β-dinitroalkyl)oxazolidines resulted in O-nitrates bearing amide, dinitromethylene, and nitroamine groups. It was found that nitration can be accompanied by N-hydroxymethylation of the amide group. Three nitrates synthesized were tested for, and exhibited good level of, cardioprotection.     

Linkage isomerism in 5-exo thiocyanate and isothiocyanate substituted tricarbonyl(η-cyclohexa-1,3-diene)iron and tricarbonyl(η-cyclohepta-1,3-diene)iron

Nucleophilic addition to the tricarbonyl(η-cyclohexadienyl)iron cation and the tricarbonyl(η-cycloheptadienyl)iron cation by the thiocyanate ion forms initially the 5-exo-isothiocyanate (NCS) isomers, C₆H₇NCSFe(CO)₃ and C₇H₉NCSFe(CO)₃, both of which isomerise to the corresponding 5-exo thiocyanate isomers C₆H₇SCNFe(CO)₃ and C₇H₉SCNFe(CO)₃ on exposure to air.     

Photodecomposition of chromium tricarbonyl complexes with styrene, stilbene, and 1,4-diphenylbuta-1,3-diene in solution

Photolytic decomposition of styrene, stilbene, and 1,4-diphenylbuta-1,3-diene tricarbonyl chromium complexes in solution results in elimination of the carbonyl ligands and formation of binuclear alkenylarene chromium complexes. The quantum yields and activation and kinetic parameters of these processes were determined, and a scheme was proposed to rationalize photoinitiated transformations of the organochromium compounds under study.     

The crystal and molecular structure of tricarbonyl(η-methoxytropylium)chromium tetrafluoroborate

The structure of tricarbonyl(η-methoxytropylium)chromium tetrafluoroborate has been determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The salt crystallises in the triclinic space group P$\text{1}$ with lattice constants a 740.3(2), b 956.7(3), c 1038.4(2) pm; α 89.10(2), β 73.32(2), γ 74.31(3)°; Z = 2. The final R index for 2914 observed reflections (F ≥ 4σ) is 0.045. The cation contains an approximately planar seven-membered ring symmetrically bonded to a Cr(CO)₃ group. The C(1)O(Me) distance (133.8 pm) is intermediate between usual single- and double-bond values.     

Ring-opening reactions of cyclic acetals and 1,3-oxazolidines with halosilane equivalents

Reactions of acetal and 1,3-oxazolidine rings were examined using two kinds of iodosilane equivalent reagents, a 1:2 mixture of Me3SiNEt2 and MeI (reagent 1a) and a 1:1 mixture of Et3SiH and MeI containing a catalytic amount of PdCl2 (reagent 1b). In the reactions of alkanone ethylene acetals with reagent 1a, a C-O bond in the acetal ring readily cleaved to give 2-(trimethylsiloxy)ethyl enol ethers. Similarly, the C-O bond of 1,3-oxazolidine rings cleaved to give ring-opened imine or enamine derivatives. The reactions of aromatic ketone ethylene acetals and cyclohexanone trimethylene acetal led to deprotection of the acetal unit to liberate free ketones. With reagent 1b, cycloalkanone ethylene acetal afforded a dimeric product with 2-iodoethyl alkenoate moieties, while aromatic ketone ethylene or trimethylene acetals produced deprotected ketones.     

The electrophilic acetylation of tricarbonyl(cyclohexa-1,3-diene)iron

Friedel—Crafts acetylation of the title compound yielded as the major reaction product a $\text{4}\text{1}$ mixture of the 5-exo- and 5-endo-acetyl complexes. The major component of the mixture was shown to be the exo isomer by comparison with an authentic sample, synthesised stereospecifically.
