New Syntheses of Diazo Compounds

Diazo compounds (R¹R²C?N₂) are known as versatile and useful substrates for an array of chemical transformations and, therefore, diazo chemistry is still far from losing anything of its long‐standing fascination. In addition to many studies on the subsequent chemistry of the diazo group, the inventory of methods for the preparation of diazo compounds is continuously supplemented by new methods and novel variations of established procedures. Several of these synthetic approaches take into account the lability and remarkable chemical reactivity of certain classes of diazo compounds, and environmentally more benign procedures also continue to be developed.     

Organomercury Compounds. 32. Syntheses of Fluorophenylmercurials by Decarboxylation

The organomercury compounds HgR₂ (R = 2-Cl,6-FC₆H₃, 2,6-F₂C₆H₃, 2,3,6-F₃C₆H₂, m-HC₆F₄, p-HC₆F₄, or C₆F₅) and RHg(O₂CR) (R = 2-Cl,6-C₆H₃, 2,6-F₂C₆H₃ or 2,3,6-F₃C₆H₂) have been obtained in moderate – good and low yields respectively from decarboxylation reactions of the corresponding mercury(II) fluorobenzoates in boiling pyridine. By contrast, mercury(II) 2,3,4-5-tetrafluorobenzoate gave a low yield of CO₂, a trace of Hg(o-HC₆F₄)₂ and a very low yield of o-HC₆F₄Hg(O₂CC₆F₄H-o). The ¹⁹⁹Hg NMR spectra of the diorganomercurials (R = 2-Cl,6-FC₆H₃, 2,6-F₂C₆H₃, 2,3,6-F₃C₆H₂, 2,4,6-F₃C₆H₂, 2,6-Cl₂C₆H₃, o-HC₆F₄, m-HC₆F₄, p-HC₆F₄ or C₆F₅) are discussed.

Syntheses and Structural Aspects of Cyclodextrin/Dialkylamine Inclusion Compounds

We report the syntheses and structural aspects of cyclodextrin host–guest inclusion compounds containing linear secondary alkylamines (dipropyl, dibutyl, dipentyl, dihexyl, and dioctyl) at 25 °C. Elemental analysis, ¹³C CP-MAS NMR spectroscopy, and powder X-ray diffraction analysis confirm the inclusion process. The basic host structure of the products is similar to that of typical cyclodextrin inclusion systems. ¹³C MAS NMR experiments show a different resonance pattern for the confined guest molecules with respect to the amine in the liquid phase. The presence of different resonance signals for the homologous carbon atoms of both dialkylamine branches is evidence for the non-symmetric location of the amine in the cyclodextrin channels.     

Aluminum(I) and Gallium(I) Compounds: Syntheses,Structures, and Reactions

By the end of the last century there were already the first indications of the possible existence of Al¹ halides. However, it was only through the pioneering works of W. Klemm, who would have celebrated his 100th birthday on January 6, 1996, that detailed spectroscopic investigations became possible. Since the end of the 1970s the reactivity of AlX and GaX species in solid noble gases has been confirmed by numerous examples. In recent years formally monovalent Al and Ga species have been successfully synthesized on a preparative scale. In addition to the first halides, organometallic compounds with metal–metal bonds have been isolated and investigated with regard to their chemical properties. The fundamental importance of such species has been documented in this journal among others in the form of two highlight articles in which experimental and theoretical aspects have been examined with examples, and parallels and differences with respect to boron chemistry have been illustrated. This review is intended to give an account of the chronological development of this research area over the last few years, but an attempt is also made to categorize the experimental results achieved not only with respect to structure, thermodynamics, and reactivity, but also with the aid of quantum chemical calculations and by comparative considerations.

Cyclization of dienols, polyenes, and dienyne mediated by mercuric salts: course of cyclizations controlled by stability of cationic intermediates

Course of cyclization of dienols, polyenes, and dienyne mediated by mercuric salts were controlled by stability of cationic intermediates and source of mercuric salts. Reaction of (E)-5,9-dimethyl-4,8-decadiene-1-ol with mercuric acetate gave the intramolecular oxymercuration product, whereas one with mercuric triflate produced the olefin cyclization products.     

Radical Cyclization of Fluorinated 1,3‐Dicarbonyl Compounds with Dienes Using Manganese(III) Acetate and Synthesis of Fluoroacylated 4,5‐Dihydrofurans

Radical cyclizations of fluorinated 1,3‐dicarbonyl compounds with dienes mediated by Mn(OAc)₃ afforded 4,5‐dihydrofurans containing difluoroacetyl, trifluoroacetyl, or heptafluorobutanoyl groups in good‐to‐excellent yields. Additionally, 2‐(difluoromethyl)‐4,5‐dihydrofurans and a 4,7‐dihydrooxepin derivative were obtained as unexpected products in the reaction of 4,4‐difluoro‐1‐phenylbutane‐1,3‐dione with 1,3‐diphenylbuta‐1,3‐diene. The radical cyclization of symmetrical dienes such as 2,3‐dimethylbuta‐1,3‐diene and 1,4‐diphenylbuta‐1,3‐diene with 1,3‐diketones furnished the corresponding products in low yields. However, treatment of 1‐phenylbuta‐1,3‐diene with 1,3‐dicarbonyl compounds afforded 4,5‐dihydrofurans containing fluoroacyl groups. The radical cyclizations with 3‐methyl‐1‐phenylbuta‐1,3‐diene and 1,3‐diphenylbuta‐1,3‐diene led to 4,5‐dihydrofurans in good yields, since Me and Ph groups at C(3) of these dienes increase the stability of the radical intermediate.

Syntheses of Seven- and Five-Membered Rings from Allyl Cations

The cycloaddition of allyl cations to conjugated dienes offers an efficient and general tool for the construction of seven-membered carbocycles. The silver salt route is highly suitable for generating allyl cations and can be used even in most difficult cases, i. e. for elusive and intractable allyl cations such as 2-methylallyl, 2-methoxyallyl, and the parent allyl cation. Cycloadditions to the 2-methoxyallyl cation come very close to the prototype of a 6π, 7C reaction, since the carbonyl group introduced into the new ring can either be used for further transformations or be removed altogether. The combination of an allyl cation with π reactants, especially conjugated dienes, is a powerful and strongly convergent synthetic method since it permits one-step assembly, from a C₃ and a C₄ unit, of a cluster of up to four chiral centers in a ring which is larger than six-membered. Allyl cations combine with electron-rich 2π systems to form novel five-membered rings. The nature of the organometallic intermediates has been elucidated in many cases.

Urothermal Syntheses of two New Luminescent Zinc(II) Compounds via Dual-ligand Strategy

Urothermal reaction of Zn(NO₃)₂ · 6H₂O, Htrz and NH₂H₂pdc or H₂pdc affords two new compounds, namely [Zn₂(NH₂bdc)(trz)₂]_n · 2n(e-urea) ( 1 ) and [Zn₄(bdc)₂(trz)₄(H₂O)(e-urea)]_n · n(e-urea) ( 2 ) (Htrz = 1,2,4-triazole, NH₂H₂bdc = 2-aminoterephthalic acid, H₂bdc = terephthalic acid, e-urea = 1,3-ethyleneurea). X-ray structural analyses revealed that both compounds 1 and 2 feature e-urea-templated 3D pillar-layer framework with 2D Zn^II-triazole layer and 6-connected pcu topological network. These two compounds not only have high thermal stabilities but also show intense luminescence at room temperature.     

Electrochemical and Chemical Syntheses of Trifluoromethylating Reagents and Trifluoromethyl Substituted Compounds

The electroreduction of the halofluoromethanes CF₃Br, CF₂Br₂ and CF₂BrCl has been studied in high‐pressure stainless steel autoclaves at different cathodes [Pt, steel (V2A, V4A), glassy carbon (GC)] and in various solvent‐supporting electrolyte systems (SSE), e.g. DMF/[Bu₄N]Br, NMP/[Bu₄N]BF₄ etc. The reduction potentials for CF₃Br increase from Pt (–1.6 V) < V2A (–1.8 V) < GC (–2.1 V) and are lower for CF₂Br₂ and CF₂BrCl suggesting a reductive cleavage of C‐X bonds as the first step. CF₂Br₂ and CF₂BrCl show a two‐step reduction in accord with the C–X bond energies (C–F > C–Cl > C–Br) and the “Perfluoro‐effect”. The electrolysis of CF₃Br in different SSE‐systems with sacrificial zinc or cadmium anodes has been reinvestigated with our experimental set‐up to elucidate the influence of the experimental conditions on the type and ratio of the products. The observed products CF₃MBr·42L and (CF₃)₂M·42L (M = Zn, Cd; L = DMF or AN) are the same as in the previous investigations, but are obtained in different ratios, as a rule caused by a parallel chemical corrosion of the respective anodes. By using aluminium as sacrificial anode no CF₃Al compounds are formed. The CF₃ species generated by electroreduction of CF₃Br react with the solvents via hydrogen abstraction and formation of CF₃H. The current yield with respect to the dissolution of the Al anode reaches 120 % indicating a considerable chemical corrosion in addition to the anodic oxidation. This result enabled a one‐pot trifluoromethylation reaction of NMP as organic carbonyl substrate and solvent with CF₃Br and aluminium powder (ratio 3 : 2) at higher temperatures (> 70 °C). The complete reaction of CF₃Br to give CF₃H and 1‐methyl‐2‐trifluoromethyl‐4,5‐dihydropyrrol allowed the isolation of the latter by vacuum condensation and distillation in 45 % yield, rel. to the CF₃Br used. Gallium and indium were also applied as sacrificial anodes in combination with CF₃Br as substrate. In both cases, anodic current yields of about 280 % indicated an extreme chemical corrosion together with cathodic metal depositions corresponding to the cathodic current yield. These deposits – in contrast to those of Zn and Cd – do not react with CF₃Br in Grignard‐type conversions to CF₃Ga and CF₃In compounds. So, the observed products (CF₃)_nMBr_3–n·L (M = Ga, In; n 1‐3; L = DMF, NMP) are obviously formed by chemical corrosion of the electro‐activated anodes. Finally, electrochemical and chemical trifluoromethylations were successfully carried out, using R₃SiCl (R = Me, Vi, Ph), Me₃M′Cl (M′ = Ge, Sn) and aluminium anodes or Al‐powder. The products were characterized either after isolation or in the product solutions by NMR‐spectroscopic investigations.     

Intra- and intermolecular trapping of cyclopentapyrazine carbenes derived from 1,2-dialkynylimidazoles

The thermolysis of 1,2-dialkynylimidazoles in benzene solution affords high yields of 7-phenyl-5H-cyclopentapyrazines, which presumably form by solvent trapping of cyclopentapyrazine carbene intermediates. In cases where dialkynylimidazole contains side chains that can participate in intramolecular carbene C-H insertion or olefin addition, these processes compete with solvent addition to afford novel tri- and tetracyclic pyrazines, which can be obtained in good yield when the thermolysis is carried out in hexafluorobenzene.
