Neutral and cationic phosphoramide adducts of silicon tetrachloride: synthesis and characterization of their solution and solid-state structures

The solution and solid-state structures of hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA) adducts of tetrachlorosilane (SiCl4) are discussed. In solution, the meridional and facial isomers of the hexa-coordinate cationic complex 3 HMPASiCl3 + Cl(-) (2) predominate at all HMPA concentrations, and are in equilibrium with the hexa-coordinate neutral trans- and cis-2 HMPASiCl4 complexes (1), as well as the penta-coordinate cationic cis-2 HMPASiCl3 + Cl(-) (3). Single crystal X-ray analyses are reported for the ionized mer-3 HMPASiCl3 + HCl2 (-) and the neutral trans-2 HMPASiCl4 complexes.

MTO Schiff-base complexes: synthesis, structures and catalytic applications in olefin epoxidation

Several Schiff-base ligands readily form complexes with methyltrioxorhenium(VII) (MTO) by undergoing a hydrogen transfer from a ligand-bound OH group to a ligand N atom. The resulting complexes are stable at room temperature and can be handled and stored in air without problems. Due to the steric demands of the ligands they display distorted trigonal-bipyramidal structures in the solid state, as shown by X-ray crystallography, with the O(-) moiety binding to the Lewis acidic Re atom and the Re-bound methyl group being located either in cis or trans position to the Schiff base. In solution, however, the steric differences seem not to be maintained, as can be deduced from (17)O NMR spectroscopy. Furthermore, the Schiff-base ligands exchange with donor ligands. Nevertheless, the catalytic behaviour is influenced significantly by the Schiff bases coordinated to the MTO moiety, which lead either to high selectivities and good activities or to catalyst decomposition. A large excess of ligand, in contrast to the observations with aromatic N-donor ligands, is detrimental to the catalytic performance as it leads to catalyst decomposition.     

Enantioselective palladium-catalyzed total synthesis of vitamin e by employing a domino Wacker-Heck reaction

An enantioselective total synthesis of vitamin E in which a novel palladium-catalyzed domino reaction was employed as the key step is described. This reaction allows the formation of the chiral chroman framework and the concurrent introduction of part of the side chain of vitamin E. The sequence comprises an enantioselective Wacker cyclization and a subsequent Heck reaction. Accordingly, reaction of alkenylphenol 12 with methyl vinyl ketone (13) in the presence of catalytic amounts of Pd(OTFA)(2) (TFA = trifluoroacetate), the enantiopure ligand (S,S)-Bn-BOXAX (8 b; Bn = benzyl, BOXAX = 2,2'-bis(oxazolyl)-1,1'-binaphthyl, and p-benzoquinone (9) as an oxidant gives access to chiral chroman 10 with an enantioselectivity of 97 % ee in 84 % yield. Chroman 10 is then converted into 24 by an aldol condensation reaction with (3R)-3,7-dimethyloctanal (11). Subsequent 1,2-addition of methyllithium, elimination of water, and hydrogenation yields vitamin E.     

A stereospecific synthesis of vitamin A from 2,2,6-trimethyl-cyclohexanone.

An efficient synthesis of all-(E) vitamin A acetate from 2,2,6-trimethyl-cyclohexanone has been achieved via the intermediacy of 1-(9-acetoxy-3, 7-dimethyl-nona-3,5,7-trien-1-ynyl)-2,2,6-trimethyl-cyclohexanol ( 25 ), readily prepared in high yield by allylic rearrangement of tertiary propenols with glacial acetic acid. The key step in the synthesis is the transformation of 25 to the unsaturated ketone 27 (9-acetoxy-3,7-dimethyl-1-(2,6,6-trimethyl-cyclohex-1-enyl)-nona-3,5,7-trien- 2-one) using a novel vanadium(V)-catalysed rearrangement reaction. The carbonyl in 27 affords the means for the essential isomerization of the adjacent double bond to the (E) isomer and the product is readily transformed into the polyene by reduction and elimination. An overall yield of 18–31% of vitamin A acetate from 2,2,6-trimethyl-cyclohexanone has been realized.     

Multisite catalysis: a mechanistic study of beta-lactone synthesis from epoxides and CO--insights into a difficult case of homogeneous catalysis

Carbonylation of epoxides with a combination of Lewis acids and cobalt carbonyls was studied by both theoretical and experimental methods. Only multisite catalysis opens a low-energy pathway for trans opening of oxirane rings. This ring-opening reaction is not easily achieved with a single-site metal catalyst due to structural and thermodynamic constraints. The overall reaction pathway includes epoxide ring opening, which requires both a Lewis acid and a tetracarbonylcobaltate nucleophile, yielding a cobalt alkyl-alkoxy-Lewis acid moiety. After CO insertion into the Co-C(alkyl) bond, lactone formation results from a nucleophilic attack of the alkoxy Lewis acid entity on the acylium carbon atom. A theoretical study indicates a marked influence of the Lewis acid on both ring-opening and lactone-formation steps, but not on carbonylation. Strong Lewis acids induce fast ring opening, but slow lactone formation, and visa versa: a good balance of Lewis acidity would give the fastest catalytic cycle as all steps have low barriers. Experimentally, carbonylation of propylene oxide to beta-butyrolactone was monitored by online ATR-IR techniques with a mixture of tetracarbonylcobaltate and Lewis acids, namely BF(3), Me(3)Al, Et(2)Al(+).diglyme, and a combination of Me(3)Al/dicobaltoctacarbonyl. We found that the last two mixtures are extremely active in lactone formation.     

SPIONs as a nanomagnetic catalyst for the synthesis and anti-microbial activity of 2-aminothiazoles derivatives

A series of aminothiazole derivatives have been synthesized by using ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) nanomagnetic catalysis, which were prepared by reducing the Fe(II) and Fe(III) precursors using aqueous ammonia then characterized by the XRD, FTIR, SEM, and TEM. The 2-aminothiazole derivatives were obtained by coupling 2-aminothiazole diazonium salt with active methylene compounds then cyclization with hydrazine hydrate to afford pyrazolyl derivatives. The one-pot reaction of 2-aminothiazole with an aromatic aldehydes in the presence of Fe₃O₄ NPs to give Schiff bases derivatives. An efficient protocol is developed proudest yields and reduction reaction time and easy separation. Therefore, all synthesized compounds were evaluated for anti-microbial activity.

A direct synthesis of naturally occurring 9-methoxycarbazole-3-carbaldehyde 1, based on our methodology for the synthesis of 1-methoxyindoles, is reported. A novel benzannulation strategy was employed using ring closing metathesis as the key step in this total synthesis. The synthesis of the natural product 1 has been achieved in seven steps in 14% overall yield from commercial materials and in only four steps from a methoxyindole compound obtained using the new methodology.

A new catalytic route to synthesis of silylgermylethynes

Silylgermylethynes known to be potential organometallic reagents and precursors of optoelectronic materials can be efficiently synthesized via a recently reported catalytic method called silylative coupling of alkynes with vinylsilicon compounds. The reaction of triethylethynylgermane with vinyltrisubstituted silanes catalyzed by [RuHCl(CO)(PR₃)_n] (where R = ⁱPr, Cy, Ph; n = 2-3) under optimal conditions selectively yields respective silylgermylethynes. Silylation of ethynylgermane with divinylsilicon derivatives such as siloxanes, silazanes, bis(silyl)benzene and bis(silyl)ethane gives monoethynylgermyl substituted vinyldisilicon products with high yields and selectivity, however, accompanied by traces of dialkynylgermyl derivatives. All catalytic results as well as those of stoichiometric study on the insertion of ethynylgermane into Ru-Si bond have permitted proposing mechanistic schemes of the reaction examined.
