Magnesiation of functionalized iodobenzenes at room temperature: clarification of the stability of ethoxycarbonylphenylmagnesium iodides

Magnesiation of functionalized aromatic halide, ethyl 3- or 4-iodobenzoate, was accomplished using active magnesium. The resulting phenylmagnesium iodides decomposed little by little in proportion to extension of the reaction time at room temperature. The magnesiation followed by addition of carbonyl compounds gave the corresponding adducts in good to moderate yields.

Treatment of N(3)-[(2-cyano-2-ethoxycarbonyl)vinyl]amino-N(4),N(4)-dimethylaminomethylenehydrazones of aromatic carbonyl compounds with hot acetic acid resulted in the formation of symmetrical gem-bis-(3-dimethylamino-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methanes, (3-dimethylamino-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)arylmethyl acetates, and (3-dimethylamino-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)alkenes of a gem-diaryl type depending upon whether the carbonyl compound was aldehyde or ketone.     

Nucleophilic Addition to Carbonyl Compounds. Competition Between Hard (Amine) and Soft (Phosphite) Nucleophile

Abstract

In the reaction mixture of carbonyl compound, amine and diethyl phosphite several different reactions are observed. The formation of aminophosphonate (Kabachnik- Fields reaction) is frequently accompanied with the formation of hydroxyphosphonate (Pudovik reaction) or product of its rearrangement. ^1–3 This is due to the presence of one electrophile (carbonyl compound) and two nucleophiles (amine and phosphite) in the reaction mixture, which may compete for the electrophilic center.     

Magnesium-mediated benzothiazole activation: a room-temperature cascade of ch deprotonation, cc coupling, ring-opening, and nucleophilic addition reactions

Synthesis of Quinolines via a Metal‐Catalyzed Dehydrogenative N‐Heterocyclization

Efficient ruthenium‐, rhodium‐, palladium‐, copper‐ and iridium‐catalysed methodologies have been recently developed for the synthesis of quinolines by the reaction of 2‐aminobenzyl alcohols with carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones) or the related alcohols. The reaction is assumed to proceed via a sequence involving initial metal‐catalysed oxidation of 2‐aminobenzyl alcohols to the related 2‐aminobenzaldehydes, followed by cross aldol reaction with a carbonyl compound under basic conditions to afford α,β‐unsaturated carbonyl compounds. These aldehydes or ketones can be also generated in situ via dehydrogenation of the related primary and secondary alcohols. In the final step cyclodehydration of the α,β‐unsaturated carbonyl compound intermediates gives quinolines. Good yields of quinolines were also obtained by reacting 2‐nitrobenzyl alcohols and secondary alcohols in the presence of a ruthenium catalyst. Finally, aniline derivatives afforded also a useful access to quinolines by the reaction with 1,3‐propanediol or 3‐amino‐1‐propanol, or in a three‐component reaction with benzyl alcohol and aliphatic alcohols.     

Synthesis of Highly Functionalized gamma-Butyrolactones from Activated Carbonyl Compounds and Dimethyl Acetylenedicarboxylate

A triphenylphosphine-catalyzed cyclization of alpha-keto esters, alpha-keto nitriles, or alpha,alpha,alpha-trifluoroacetophenone with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate is reported to produce highly functionalized alpha,beta-unsaturated gamma-butyrolactones in moderate yields. Thus treating a mixture of methyl 4-nitrophenylglyoxylate and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate with 20 mol % of triphenylphosphine afforded 5,5'-disubstituted 3-methoxy-4-(methoxycarbonyl)-2(3H)-furanone in 94% yield. In the reaction of alpha-keto esters R(1)COCOOMe, an electron-withdrawing R(1) substituent is required for satisfactory reactivity. On the other hand, electron-donating R(1) substituents give higher yields with alpha-keto nitriles R(1)COCN. Another electron-deficient carbonyl compound, alpha,alpha,alpha-trifluoroacetophenone, gave the corresponding lactone in good yield. The use of an alpha-hydroxy ketone as an electrophilic carbonyl compound with more than 1 equiv of triphenylphosphine produced dihydrofuran derivatives. One equivalent of triphenylphosphine oxide was obtained as a major product. An intramolecular Wittig reaction is proposed as a reaction mechanism.     

Synthesis of novel thermosetting imide compounds having phenylethynyl carbonyl groups at both terminal ends and production of new network polymers based on the imide compounds

A novel thermosetting imide compound having a respective phenylethynyl carbonyl group at both terminal ends was newly synthesized from an acid anhydride having a phenylethynyl carbonyl group and various diamine compounds. The thermosetting behavior of the obtained novel thermosetting imide compound having phenylethynyl carbonyl groups was analyzed through differential scanning calorimetry measurements and infrared spectroscopic analysis. As a result, it became clear that a curing reaction of phenylethynyl carbonyl groups proceeds at approximately 200°C and that the curing reaction thereof proceeds at a temperature that is lower by 150°C or more compared with that of phenylethynyl groups. Examination of the polymerization reaction of the imide compounds having phenylethynyl carbonyl groups using model compounds revealed that a reaction that imparted an alkene C=C and polycyclic aromatic structure progressed. Moreover, a network polymer obtained from a thermosetting imide compound having respective phenylethynyl carbonyl groups at both terminal ends exhibited extremely superior heat resistance and thermal decomposition resistance. These superior thermal properties are thought to be due to the strong molecular interaction (molecular packing) that results from the polycyclic aromatic structures and alkenes produced through polymerization of the phenylethynyl carbonyl groups and to the suppression of the movement of the molecular chains.     

Synthesis of β-amino carbonyl compounds via a Zn(OTf)2-catalyzed cascade reaction of anilines with aromatic aldehydes and carbonyl compounds

A Zn(OTf)₂-catalyzed cascade reaction of anilines with aromatic aldehydes and carbonyl compounds was described.

The reaction was also applied for the liquid-phase synthesis of β-amino carbonyl compound library using PEG as a support.     

New,improved procedure for the synthesis of structurally diverse N-spiro C2-symmetric chiral quaternary ammonium bromides

Selective, direct ortho magnesiation of (S)-2,2'-bis(isopropoxycarbonyl)-1,1'-binaphthyl (6) has been achieved under mild conditions, using magnesium bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperamide) [Mg(TMP)(2)]. In combination with the subsequent reaction with the appropriate electrophiles, bromine and iodine, this method constitutes a key step in establishing a new and concise synthetic route to a wide variety of N-spiro C(2)-symmetric chiral quaternary ammonium bromides of type 1.     

A photocatalytic acid- and base-free Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley-type reduction using a [Ru(bpy)3]2+/viologen couple

A photocatalytic system to effect the Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley reduction of carbonylic compounds to alcohols has been developed. The system comprises [Ru(bpy)3]2+ as a photosensitizer, triethanolamine as a sacrificial electron donor, viologen as an electron acceptor, and the carbonyl compound and iPrOH as Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley reagents. The photocatalytic reaction can be performed in neat iPrOH or in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium ionic liquid. Mass spectrometric detection of the viologen hydride derivative VH+ confirms that this species is the reducing agent responsible for the carbonyl compound reduction. The reaction intermediates involved in the photocatalytic system have also been characterized by laser flash photolysis.

Synthesis of nitrogen-containing heterocycles. 4. A facile route to new 1, 2, 4-triazole derivatives

The reaction of amino-N(4),N(4)-dimethylaminornethylenehydrazones 1 of some aliphatic carbonyl compounds with ethyl ethoxymethylenecyanoacetate 2 gave directly symmetrical gem-bis(3-dimethylamino-1, 2, 4-triazol-1-yl)alkanes 4 and (3-dimethylamino-1, 2, 4-triazol-1-yl)alkenes 5 at room temperature, with the former being major product. On the other hand, the reaction of amino- N (4)-methylaminomethylenehydrazone homologue 1 of aliphatic ketone with 2 gave ethyl 2-alkyl-5-methylamino[1, 2, 4]triazolo[1, 5-c]pyrimidine-8-carboxylate 7 as the only product with elimination of alkane.

Effects of Conjugated Structure on the Magnesium Storage Performance of Dianhydrides

Inorganic cathodes of rechargeable Mg batteries suffer from limited selections, while organic materials provide more options. Herein, three conjugated dianhydrides, pyromellitic dianhydride, 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride and 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride are comparatively investigated to elucidate the effects of conjugated structure on the Mg²⁺ storage performances. It is observed that the reversible Mg²⁺ storage capacity is more dependent on the conjugated structure than carbonyl numbers. Ex-situ mechanism study illustrates that the extended conjugated structure delocalizes the electron density, hence enhancing carbonyl enolization and increasing the Mg²⁺ storage capacity. Furthermore, the largely conjugated structure buffers the charge density change during repeated magnesiation/demagnesiation resulting in better cyclability. Prominently, 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride shows a high Mg²⁺ storage capacity (160 mAh g⁻¹) and a good cycling stability (80 % capacity retention after 100 cycles) with the largest conjugated structure. This work provides a low-cost cathode for rechargeable Mg batteries that can be utilized for designing high-performance organic Mg battery cathodes.

Molecular recognition of alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds using aluminum tris(2,6-diphenylphenoxide) (ATPH): structural and conformational analysis of ATPH complexes and application to the selective vinylogous aldol reaction

Various alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds were coordinated with aluminum tris(2,6-diphenylphenoxide) (ATPH) to give the corresponding Lewis acid-base complexes in a distinctive coordination fashion (selective coordination). ATPH recognizes carbonyl substrates and subsequently orients itself as it forms a stable complex through selective coordination with the carbonyl oxygen. Selective coordination also confers a conformational preference to each carbonyl compound under the steric and electronic influence of ATPH, which enables the vinylogous aldol reaction of alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds to give the corresponding gamma-aldol products with different regio- and stereoselectivities.
