Simple, mild, and efficient conditions are reported for a Pd(0)-catalyzed Heck reaction that delivers high yields and selectivity for (E)-styrenyl products using electronically nonbiased olefin substrates bearing a range of useful functionality. Preliminary mechanistic studies demonstrate that the σ-donating DMA solvent is crucial for high selectivity. Further studies suggest that the catalyst distinguishes between β-hydrogens on the basis of their relative hydridic character, in contrast to previously reported Pd(II)-catalyzed oxidative reaction conditions.

Kinetics and mechanism of triethylamine-catalyzed 1,3-proton shift: Optimized and substantially improved reaction conditions for biomimetic reductive amination of fluorine-containing carbonyl compounds

Kinetic study of the triethylamine (TEA)-catalyzed isomerization of imine, derived from benzylamine and trifluoroacetophenone to the corresponding N-benzylidene-2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(phenyl)ethylamine has revealed concerted nature of the mechanism of this reaction via a virtually unionized transition state. As a synthetic bonus of this kinetic study, we found that application of a polar solvent (acetonitrile) and four equivalents of TEA provide for optimal reaction conditions at high concentrations. We demonstrate that application of these reaction conditions allows to substantially increase the reaction rates, chemical yields and results in cleaner formation of the target products.

Efficient synthesis of meso-substituted corroles in a H2O-MeOH mixture

New and efficient conditions for the synthesis of meso-substituted corroles were developed. The first step, involving the reaction of aldehydes with pyrrole, was carried out in a water-methanol mixture in the presence of HCl. A relatively narrow distribution of aldehyde-pyrrole oligocondensates was obtained through careful control of their solubility in the reaction medium. After thorough optimization of various reaction parameters (cosolvent, reagent, and acid concentration), high yields of bilanes were obtained. Additionally, the bilane derived from 4-cyanobenzaldehyde was isolated, and the oxidative macrocyclization reaction was performed under various reaction conditions (different solvents, different concentrations, and various oxidants). As a result, triphenylcorrole was obtained in the highest yield (32%) reported to date. The scope and limitations studied showed that this method was particularly efficient for moderately reactive aldehydes and those bearing electron-donating groups (yields 14-27%). Using these conditions, corroles bearing strongly electron-donating groups were obtained for the first time. In addition, it was found that the reaction of unhindered dipyrromethanes with aldehydes under analogous conditions afforded trans-A2B-corroles in very high yields (45-56%; 8-fold higher than previously reported) without scrambling. The fact that scrambling was not observed in this reaction despite a very high HCl concentration (0.3 M) is unprecedented. Detailed studies on the oxidation of bilane, derived from sterically hindered dipyrromethane, allowed us to unequivocally establish that the yield of macrocyclization is insensitive to the concentration. It was found the 1H NMR spectra of corroles in deuterated TFA gave very sharp signals.
