Kettenverlängerung funktionalisierter Alkanone durch Umlagerung

Chain Expansion of Functionalized Alkanones by Rearrangement Reactions In analogy to the transamidation reactions which were published earlier a method is described to prolong aliphatic C-chains by two or four C-atoms. 1,3-Diketones or 2-nitro alkanones which are monosubstituted at C(2) are condensed with e.g. methyl vinyl ketone. The reaction product is transformed to its chain-prolonged isomer in the presence of strong base via a 4- or 6-membered intermediate. The most effective reagent for the Michael reaction is methyl 3-oxo-4-pentenoate ( 20 ). In this case it was possible to convert 3-nitro-2-butanone ( 21 ) to methyl 2-acetyl-6-nitro-3-oxoheptanoate ( 26 ) in 82% yield.     

Das P(SiMe2)3P

P(SiMe₂)₃P Li₃P (produced from the elements) forms with Me₂SiCl₂ at 20°C in toluene the bicyclic compound P(SiMe₂)₃P 4 beside small amounts of ClMe₂Si? P(SiMe₂)₂P? SiMe₂Cl and traces of P₄(SiMe₂)₆ 7. 4 can be transformed into 7 by thermal treatment. With the formation of 4 the existence of a bicyclic silylphosphane is confirmed which has already been mentioned in connection with P(SiEt₂)₃P [1], but could not be proven until now.     

Das iso-Tetraphosphan P[P(SiMe3)Me]2[P(SiMe3)2]

H ? C Bond Cleavage in Ferrocene by Organylruthenium Complexes Cp*(Me₃P)₂RuCH₂CMe₃ ( 1 ) reacts at 85°C with ferrocene ( 2 ) by cleavage of one H? C bond in 2 to give CpFe[η⁵-C₅H₄Ru(PMe₃)₂Cp*] ( 3 ) (Cp = η⁵-C₅H₅; Cp* = η⁵-C₅Me₅) and neopentane. The ruthenium atom in 3 has a distorted tetrahedral geometry, the planar Cp ligands in the ferrocenyl fragment are eclipsed. Solutions of 3 in [D₆]benzene or [D₈]THF exhibit H? D exchange of the ferrocenyl protons. In the [D₈]THF molecule only the α-deuterium atoms are exchanged. Reaction pathways for this exchange are discussed.     

Zur Reaktion von NiCl2 mit PhP(SiMe3)2 Die Kristallstruktur von [Ni12Cl2(PPh)2(P2Ph2)4(PHPh)8]

Reaction of NiCl₂ with PhP(SiMe₃)₂, The Crystal Structure of [Ni₁₂Cl₂(PPh)₂(P₂Ph₂)₄(PHPh)₈] [Ni₁₂Cl₂(PPh)₂(P₂Ph₂)₄(PHPh)₈] ( 1 ) has been prepared by the reaction of NiCl₂ with PhP(SiMe₃)₂. The structure has been characterized by X-ray crystal structure analysis. 1 contains a Ni₁₂-cluster with m?₄-PPh- and m?₆-P₂Ph₂- as bridging ligands. The terminal PHPh- and Cl-ligands are bound to Ni-atoms. The Ni₁₂-cluster can be described as an Ni₈-cube, in which four edges are bridged by Ni-atoms.

Investigations on the Reactivity of [Me₂AlP(SiMe₃)₂]₂ with Base‐stabilized Organogalliumhalides and ‐hydrides [Me₂AlP(SiMe₃)₂]₂ ( 1 ) reacts with dmap?Ga(Cl)Me₂, dmap?Ga(Me)Cl₂, dmap?GaCl₃ and dmap?Ga(H)Me₂ with Al‐P bond cleavage and subsequent formation of heterocyclic [Me₂GaP(SiMe₃)₂]₂ ( 2 ) as well as dmap?AlMe_xCl_3?x (x = 3 8 ; 2 3 ; 1 4 ; 0 5 ). The reaction between equimolar amounts of dmap?Al(Me₂)P(SiMe₃)₂ and dmap?Ga(t‐Bu₂)Cl yield dmap?Ga(t‐Bu₂)P(SiMe₃)₂ ( 6 ) and dmap?AlMe₂Cl ( 3 ). 2 – 8 were characterized by NMR spectroscopy, 2 and 6 also by single crystal X‐ray diffraction.     

Bildung und struktur der Cyclophosphane P4(CMe3)2[P(CMe3)2]2 und P4(SiMe3)2[P(CMe3)2]2

Formation and Structure of the Cyclophosphanes P₄(CMe₃)₂[P(CMe₃)₂]₂ and P₄(SiMe₃)₂[P(CMe₃)₂]₂ n-Triphosphanes showing a SiMe₃ and a Cl substituent at the atoms P¹ and P², like (Me₃C)₂P? P(SiMe₃)? P(CMe₃)Cl 3 or (Me₃C)₂P? P(Cl)? P(SiMe₃)₂ 4 are stable only at temperatures below ?30°C. Above this temperature these compounds lose Me₃SiCl, thus forming cyclotetraphosphanes, P₄(CMe₃)₂[P(CMe₃)₂]₂ 1 out of 3 , P₄(SiMe₃)₂[P(SiMe₃)₂]₂ 2a (cis) and 2b (trans) out of 4 . The formation of 1 proceeds via (Me₃C)₂P? P?PCMe₃ 5 as intermediate compound, which after addition to cyclopentadiene to give the Diels-Alder-adduct 6 (exo and endo isomers) was isolated. 6 generates 5 , which then forms the dimer compound 1 . Likewise (Me₃C)₂P? P?P-SiMe₃ 8 (as proven by the adduct 7 ) is formed out of 4 , leading to 2a (cis) and 2b (trans). Compound 1 is also formed out of the iso-tetraphosphane P[P(CMe₃)₂]₂[P(CMe₃)Cl] 9 , which loses P(CMe₃)₂Cl when warmed to a temperature of 20°C. 1 crystallizes monoclinically in the space group P2₁/a (no. 14); a = 1762.0(15) pm; b = 1687.2(18) pm; c = 1170.5(9) pm; β = 109.18(5)° and Z = 4 formula units in the elementary cell. The molecule possesses E conformation. The central four-membered ring is puckered (approx. symmetry 4 2m; dihedral angle 47.4°), thus bringing the substituents into a quasi equatorial position and the nonbonding electron pairs into a quasi axial position. The bond lengths in the four-membered ring of 1 (d (P? P) = 222.9 pm) are only slightly longer than the exocyclic bonds (221.8 pm). The endocyclic bond angles \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \bar \beta $\end{document}(P/P/P) are 85.0°, the torsion angles are ±33° and d (P? C) = 189.7 pm.     

Zur Bildung der Cyclotetraphosphane cis- und trans-P4(SiMe3)2(CMe3)2 bei der Umsetzung von (Me3C)PCl2 mit LiP(SiMe3)2 · 2 THF

Formation of the Cyclotetraphosphanes cis- und trans-P₄(SiMe₃)₂(CMe₃)₂ in the Reaction of (Me₃C)PCl₂ with LiP(SiMe₃)₂ · 2 THF The mechanism of the reaction of (Me₃C)PCl₂ 1 with LiP(SiMe₃)₂ · 2 THF 2 was investigated. With a mole ration of 1:1 at ?60°C quantitatively (Me₃C)(Cl)P? P(SiMe₃)₂ 3 is formed. This compound eliminates Me₃SiCl on warming to 20°C, yielding Me₃Si? P?P? CMe₃ 4 (can be trapped using 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene in a 4+2 cycloaddition), which dimerizes to produce the cyclotetraphosphanes cis-P₄(SiMe₃)₂(CMe₃)₂ 5 and trans-P₄(SiMe₃)₂(CMe₃)₂ 6 . Also with a mole ratio of 1:2 initially 3 is formed which remarkably slower reacts on to give [(Me₃Si)₂P]P₂P? CMe₃ 8 . Remaining LiP(SiMe₃)₂ cleaves one Si? P bond of 8 producing (Me₃)₂P? P(CMe₃)? P(SiMe₃)₂Li. Via a condensation to the pentaphosphide 10 and an elimination of LiP(SiMe₃)₂ from this intermediate, eventually trans-P₄(SiMe₃)₂(CMe₃)₂ 6 is obtained as the exclusive cyclotetra-phosphane product.     

Die Reaktion der Zweikomponentensysteme P(OR)3 − x(NR2)x (x = 0–3)/CCl4 und P4/CCl4 mit HF-Donatoren

Reaction of the Two-component Systems P(OR)_{3 ? x}(NR₂)_x (x = 0–3)/CCl₄ and P₄/CCl₄ with HF-Donators The combination of organylammonium fluorides and carbon tetrachloride is a good agent for oxidative fluorination of trivalent phosphorus compounds. As oxidation products [(RO)PF₅]^? and (RO)₂P(O)F are obtained from P(OR)₃, (Et₂N)₂P(O)F and (Et₂N)₂(EtO)PF₂ from P(OEt)(NEt₂)₂ as well as (Et₂N)₃PF₂ and [(Et₂N)₃PF]⁺ from P(NEt₂)₃. In the system R₂NH/CCl₄/Et₃N · n HF P₄ is fast oxidized forming [HPF₅]^?, R₂NH · PF₅ and (R₂N)₂P(O)F. In the case of simultaneous addition of alcohols [(RO)PF₅]^?, (RO)₃PO and (R₂N)₂P(O)F are formed. The reactions are controlled by the nucleophilic power and the concentration of fluoride, the acidity of the system, and the temperature.     

Desoxy-nitrozucker. 3. Mitteilung. Synthese von Ketosen durch Kettenverlängerung von 1-Desoxy-1-nitro-aldosen. Nucleophile Additionen und Solvolyse von Nitroaethern

Synthesis of Ketoses by Chain Elongation of 1-Deoxy-1-nitroaldoses. Nucleophilic Additions and Solvolysis of Nitro Ethers A method for the preparation of chain elongated uloses based upon the base-catalyzed addition of 1-deoxy-1-nitroaldoses to aldehydes and Michael acceptors and subsequent solvolytic replacement of the nitro group by a hydroxy group is described. Thus, addition of 1 , 3 and 9 to formaldehyde, followed by solvolysis gave the chain elongated ulose derivatives 2 , 8 and 10 (63–76%), respectively. The configuration at the anomeric center of the addition products was deduced from ¹³ C – NMR . spectra and mutarotation. In the case of 3 , the primary addition products 4 and 6 were isolated and acetylated to 5 and 7 . The nitro derivatives 4 – 7 do not follow Hudson's rule of isorotation. Addition of 1 to benzaldehyde (44%) and to nonanal (74%) preceded with a small degree of diastereoselectivity to give 15a / 15b , and 11 / 12 , respectively. The configuration of the secondary hydroxyl group of 12 was determined by correlation with methyl 2-hydroxydecanoate ( 14 ). Addition of 1 to the galacroaldehyde 16 gave a single compound 17 (78%). The structure of this dodecosulose was determined by X-ray crystallography. Solvolysis of the acetylation product 18 in formamide gave the hemiacetal 19 (69%). Michael addition of 1 to acrylonitrile, methyl vinyl ketone and cyclohexenone under solvolytic conditions gave the hemiacetals 27 , 30 and 31a , b (49%, 71% and 76%, respectively). Under non-solvolytic conditions (Bu₄NF), 1 reacted with acrylonitrile, and crotononitrile to give the anomeric nitro ethers 23 and 24 (67%) and 25 and 26 (84%). respectively. Similarly. 3 added to acrylonitrile to give 28 and 29 (55%, 4:1). This reaction appears to proceed under kinetic control. Addition of 1 to ethyl propiolate and solvolysis yielded the unsaturated spirolactone 32 (50%) and the hemiacetal 33 (17%). Hydrogenation of 32 gave the saturated spirolactone 34 (100%) which was also obtained from 1 and methyl acrylate (63%). Addition of 1 to dimethylmaleate gave the unsaturated ester 35 (48%).     

LiE(SiMe3)2 (E = P,As) als Synthesebaustein zur Darstellung von Molybdänkomplexen mit EH funktionellen Liganden

LiE(SiMe₃)₂ (E = P, As) as Building Unit of Molybdenum Complexes with EH Ligands The complex [{CpMo(CO)₂}₂(μ‐H)(μ‐PH₂)] ( 1 ) can be obtained in a one‐pot reaction using [CpMo(CO)₂]₂, LiP(SiMe₃)₂, MeOH and HBF₄. Experiments to synthesize [{CpMo(CO)₂}₂(μ‐H)(μ‐AsH₂)] in an analogous reaction sequence using [CpMo(CO)₂]₂ and LiAs(SiMe₃)₂ failed. However, the products ‐[{CpMo(CO)₂}₂(μ, η²‐As₂)] and [{CpMo(CO)₂}₂(μ‐H)(μ₄‐As){CpMo(CO)₂}₂(μ₄, η¹:η¹‐As₂H){CpMo(CO)₂}₂(μ‐H)] ( 3 ) could be obtained via this reaction. The deprotonated derivative of 1 , K[{CpMo(CO)₂}₂(μ‐PH₂)] ( 2 ), which can be obtained by reaction of 1 with KH, doesn't react with GaCl₃ under KCl elimination as expected. Instead, the Lewis acid/base adduct K[{CpMo(CO)₂}₂(μ‐PH₂)(GaCl₃)] ( 4 ) is formed, which adopts a polymeric chain structure in the solid state. The structural and the spectroscopic data of the products are discussed.
