A selective convenient ruthenium-mediated synthesis of mixed acetals

Addition of alcohols and phenols to allyl ethers catalyzed mainly by ruthenium complexes was studied. Complexes of ruthenium generated in situ from precursors such as {[RuCl₂(1,5-COD)]_x} or [Ru₃(CO)₁₂] and from external ligands such as phosphines (e.g. PPh₃, PBu₃, BINAP) or phosphites (e.g. P(OPh)₃, P(OMe)₃) were found to be particularly efficient catalysts of the studied reactions. Transacetalization reaction could be practically completely eliminated by the addition of a base (particularly Na₂CO₃) to the catalytic systems. It was observed that the selectivity of mixed acetals formation increases with increasing value of Θ parameter of phosphines. Especially interesting results (0–5% of transacetalization) have been obtained for catalytic systems generated from {[RuCl₂(1,5-COD)]_x} or [Ru₃(CO)₁₂], phosphines (PPh₃, BINAP, dppe, tris(2,4,6-tri-metylphenyl)phosphine, or dppf) and Na₂CO₃. The mechanism of mixed acetals formation has been investigated using deuterated reagents. It is postulated that the examined reaction is a nucleophilic addition of ROH to a hydrido-π-allyl complex formed during oxidative addition of allyl substrate to metal complex. As a result, a new, selective, and convenient method of the synthesis of symmetrical and, in particular, unsymmetrical (mixed) acetals has been developed. Mixed acetals CH₃CH₂CH(OR¹)(OR²) may be obtained in the reaction of R¹-O-allyl with R²OH or R¹OH with R²-O-allyl, depending on the structure of R¹ and R².     

A convenient synthesis of long-chain 4-substituted benzyloxycarbonyl alkanethiols for the formation of self assembled monolayers on metal substrates

New 4-substituted benzyl esters of 16-mercaptohexadecanoic acid were prepared by developing a practicable synthetic procedure and using readily available staring materials. The compounds synthesized have been characterized by NMR, MS, IR spectra and elemental analysis. The mercapto derivatives are precursors for the formation of self-assembled monolayers on metal substrates. Dedicated to Professor Dr. Manfred Hesse on the occasion of his 70 ^th birthday     

Rational design and convenient synthesis of a novel family of ruthenium complexes with O,N-bidentate ligands

A two step procedure for the synthesis of a novel family of homogeneous and immobilized Ru-complexes containing Schiff bases as O,N-bidentate ligands is described. The new Ru-complexes have been structurally characterized by IR, Raman,¹H-,¹³C-NMR spectroscopy. The Schiff bases were associated with a diversity of inorganic and organic ligands such as chloride, phosphane, arenes, various carbenes (alkylidene, vinylidene, indenylidene and allenylidene as well as N-heterocyclic carbenes) and cyclodienes. By choosing a selective range of substituents for the Schiff base, useful physical and chemical properties of the prepared Rucomplexes can be induced. This synthetic approach is promising in creating a valuable and diverse selection of Ru-complexes, valuable for future applications.     

Darstellung,Struktur und Reaktionsfähigkeit von Metallderivaten des 1-Propinphosphonsäure-diethylesters

Metallation of diethyl ester of 1-propynephosphonic acid (1-DEPP) is achieved by treatment with alkaline amides, calcium amid and calcium in liquid ammonia, with isopropylmagnesium chloride in ether or via metal exchange from the potassium derivative of 1-DEPP with copper(II) and cobalt(II) chloride resp.On the basis of IR-and¹H-NMR-spectra the calcium derivative appears as a mixture of an allene and its isomeric acetylene. The IR-spectrum of the lithium derivative is consistent with an analogous phenomenon while an acetylene structure is attributed only to the cobalt and copper derivatives. The alkylation of the potassium derivative with alkyl halides and the hydroxy-alkylation with benzaldehyde occur with low yield at the -position of the parent compound.

Facile and convenient strategy towards synthesis of 4-substituted 2-aminothiazolo[4,5-d]pyridazinones

Convenient synthesis of 4-substituted 2-aminothiazolo[4,5-d]pyridazinones has been achieved in 12 steps with overall yield of 19% by employing Grignard reaction as the key step. The route utilizes well established thiazole ring formation followed by Grignard reaction to introduce substitution at 4-position effectively. In addition to the use of inexpensive chemicals, the present route first time gave access to the 4-substituted 2-aminothiazolo [4,5-d]pyridazinones with free amino group at C-2 position.

Michael reaction. IV. NaNH2 catalyzed one stage reaction between phenylacetic acid dialkylamides and cinnamic acid methyl ester or dialkylamides. Influence of reaction conditions on the stereochemistry

The NaNH₂ catalyzed one stage reaction between phenylacetic acid dialkylamides and cinnamic acid methyl ester or dialkylamides was studied under various conditions. Conditions were found for easy preparation of each of the both possible diastereomeric derivatives of 2,3-diphenylglutaric acid. It was proved that catalytic amounts of NaNH₂ take part in the reaction. It is assumed that the observederythro/threo equilibrium ratios are determined by an isomerization via two different carbanions (at C₂ and C₄) of the reaction products.Part III:J. Stefanovsky andL.
