Über die Cycloaddition von Dithiocyan und Trithiocyan mit Hexafluoraceton und Folgeprodukte aus der Spaltung der Schwefel-Schwefel-Bindung mit elementarem Chlor im Dithiocyan-Hexafluoraceton-Addukt

Cycloaddition of Dithiocyanogen and Trithiocyanogen with Hexafluoroacetone and Products of the Cleavage of the Sulfur-Sulfur Bond in Dithiocyan-Hexafluoroacetone Adduct by Elemental Chlorine The reaction of dithiocyanogen and trithiocyanogen with hexafluoroacetone (HFA) leads to the cycloaddition products (SCN)₂ · 4 HFA 1 and S(SCN)₂ · 4 HFA 2 . These are the first reactions of (SCN)₂ and S(SCN)₂ without cleavage of the S—S bonds. Elemental chlorine cleaves in 1 the S? S bond and 3 is formed. In 3 the chlorine atom can be replaced by the rests —CN 4 , (C₆H₁₁)₂N— 5 , and n-C₄H₉– 6. 6 eliminates one molecule of HFA by warming up and the four-membered ring 7 is formed. The compounds were characterized on the basis of mass and nmr spectra.     

Synthesis of Tricyclic (λ5)-Phosphoranes; unusual N-demethylation/N-alkylation reactions during the oxidative addition of hexafluoroacetone and tetrachloro-ortho-benzoquinone to benzodiaza-λ3-phosphorinones. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies of various products

The reaction of methylisatoic acid anhydride 1 with benzylamines led to the N-benzyl-N′-methylanthranilamide derivatives 2 – 4 . Their reaction with phosphorus trichloride furnished the 2-chloro-1-halobenzyl/benzyl-3-methyl-4(1 H)-1,3,2-benzodiazaphosphorin-4-ones 5 – 7 which, upon reaction with bis-(2-chloroethyl)ammonium chloride/triethylamine, were converted into the P-bis-(2-chloroethyl)amino-1-halobenzyl/benzyl-3-methyl-4(1 H)-1,3,2-benzodiazaphosphorin-4-ones 8 – 10 and 12 . With 2-chloroethylammonium chloride/triethyl-amine the P? NHCH₂CH₂Cl-substituted compound 11 was obtained from the P^IIICl-species 6 . The reaction of 8 – 10 and 12 with hexafluoroacetone (HFA) took an unusual course: apart from the oxidative addition of HFA and formation of the perfluoropinacolyl ring system, one of the two CH₂CH₂Cl groups was found to alkylate the CH₃N atom with formation of a five-membered (diazaphospholane) ring in the tricyclic phosphoranes 13 – 16 . The reaction of 11 with HFA also produced a spirophosphorane 17 which involved a λ⁵-oxazaphosphetidine ring system. In the reaction of 8, 10 and 12 with tetrachloro-o-benzoquinone, an oxidative addition reaction with concomitant N-alkylation and formation of the tricyclic phosphoranes 18 – 20 was found to take place. Single crystal X-ray structure determinations are described for the phosphoranes 13, 14 and 16 , and for the precursor compound 9 . The following features are common to the isostructural compounds 13 and 16 and the diethyl ether hemisolvate of 14 : the (λ⁵)-spiro phosphorus atom lies out of the plane of the other atoms of the rings to which it is common, and the dioxaphospholane rings display a twist conformation. In the λ³P-compound 9 the phosphorus atom also lies out of the plane of the other ring atoms.     

The cross-aldol reaction of hexafluoroacetone (HFA) with ketones catalyzed by an acid

The cross-aldol reactions of hexafluoroacetone (HFA) and ketones using an acid catalyst are reported. When concentrated sulfuric acid was employed as the catalyst, HFA reacted regioselectively with various ketones at 50-100 °C to give the aldol adducts (6) in good yields. The reaction is initiated by an acid-catalyzed transformation of the ketone into the corresponding enol that reacts with HFA. The obtained adducts (6) can be reduced with hydrogen under a Ru/C catalyst to lead to the corresponding fluorine-containing diols (13).     

The Hexacyanodiborane(6) Dianion [B2(CN)6]2−

Diborane(6) dianions with substituents that are bonded to boron via carbon are very reactive and therefore only a few examples are known. Diborane(6) derivatives are the simplest catenated boron compounds with an electron‐precise B–B σ‐bond that are of fundamental interest and of relevance for material applications. The homoleptic hexacyanodiborane(6) dianion [B₂(CN)₆]²⁻ that is chemically very robust is reported. The dianion is air‐stable and resistant against boiling water and anhydrous hydrogen fluoride. Its salts are thermally highly stable, for example, decomposition of (H₃O)₂[B₂(CN)₆] starts at 200 °C. The [B₂(CN)₆]²⁻ dianion is readily accessible starting from 1) B(CN)₃²⁻ and an oxidant, 2) [BF(CN)₃]⁻ and a reductant, or 3) by the reaction of B(CN)₃²⁻ with [BHal(CN)₃]⁻ (Hal=F, Br). The latter reaction was found to proceed via a triply negatively charged transition state according to an S_N2 mechanism.     

Derivatives of trifluorovinylsulfur pentafluoride (SF5CFCF2) II

Trifluorovinylsulfur pentafluoride (SF₅CFCF₂) and carbonyl fluoride will add, in the presence of cesium fluoride and acetonitrile, to form SF₅CF(CF₃)C(O)F. This new acid fluoride serves as a source for preparing derivatives containing the SF₅CF(CF₃) - grouping. The following new compounds have been prepared and characterized: SF₅CF(CF₃)X where X = C(O)F, C(O)CH₃, C(O)OH, C(O)NH₂, CN. The dimer, (SF₅CFCF₂)₂, has also been prepared. Infrared, mass, and nmr spectra are presented in order to support their proposed structure.     

Hétérocycles fluorés—I : Addition du diazométhane et du phenylazide au bis (trifluorométhyle)-3,3 acrylate de méthyle et a ses dérivés. Obtention de cyclopropanes et d'aziridines fluorés

Title olefins are prepared by Wittig reactions between hexafluoroacetone and the methylenephosphoranes Ph₃PCHX (X  CN, CO₂Me, COPh). They react readily with diazomethane or phenylazide affording pyrazolines or triazolines which are photodecomposed into the corresponding fluorocyclopropanes or aziridines. The latter compounds are potential azomethine ylides and react with methyl acetylene dicarboxylate giving pyrrolines (X  CN, CO₂Me). When X  COPh, rearrangement into 4-oxazoline is observed.

Phosphorus compounds containig electron withdrawing groups were prepared by degradation reactions of cyclic sulfur-nitrogen chlorides with perfluoroalkylated silylaminophosphanes and by the base catalysed attack of hexafluoroacetone on P(CN)₃ and P(NCS)₃. New results in the coordination chemistry of bicyclic diphosphanes towards transition metal carbonyls are reported and the improved oxidation of a diphosphane by the SO₂/Zn²⁺ system is discussed.     

Pseudohalogen Chemistry in Ionic Liquids with Non-innocent Cations and Anions

Within the second funding period of the SPP 1708 “Material Synthesis near Room Temperature”,which started in 2017, we were able to synthesize novel anionic species utilizing Ionic Liquids (ILs) both, as reaction media and reactant. ILs, bearing the decomposable and non-innocent methyl carbonate anion [CO₃Me]⁻, served as starting material and enabled facile access to pseudohalide salts by reaction with Me₃Si−X (X=CN, N₃, OCN, SCN). Starting with the synthesized Room temperature Ionic Liquid (RT-IL) [nBu₃MeN][B(OMe)₃(CN)], we were able to crystallize the double salt [nBu₃MeN]₂[B(OMe)₃(CN)](CN). Furthermore, we studied the reaction of [WCC]SCN and [WCC]CN (WCC=weakly coordinating cation) with their corresponding protic acids HX (X=SCN, CN), which resulted in formation of [H(NCS)₂]⁻ and the temperature labile solvate anions [CN(HCN)_n]⁻ (n=2, 3). In addition, the highly labile anionic HCN solvates were obtained from [PPN]X ([PPN]=μ-nitridobis(triphenylphosphonium), X=N₃, OCN, SCN and OCP) and HCN. Crystals of [PPN][X(HCN)₃] (X=N₃, OCN) and [PPN][SCN(HCN)₂] were obtained when the crystallization was carried out at low temperatures. Interestingly, reaction of [PPN]OCP with HCN was noticed, which led to the formation of [P(CN)₂]⁻, crystallizing as HCN disolvate [PPN][P(CN⋅HCN)₂]. Furthermore, we were able to isolate the novel cyanido(halido) silicate dianions of the type [SiCl_0.78(CN)_5.22]²⁻ and [SiF(CN)₅]²⁻ and the hexa-substituted [Si(CN)₆]²⁻ by temperature controlled halide/cyanide exchange reactions. By facile neutralization reactions with the non-innocent cation of [Et₃HN]₂[Si(CN)₆] with MOH (M=Li, K), Li₂[Si(CN)₆] ⋅ 2 H₂O and K₂[Si(CN)₆] were obtained, which form three dimensional coordination polymers. From salt metathesis processes of M₂[Si(CN)₆] with different imidazolium bromides, we were able to isolate new imidazolium salts and the ionic liquid [BMIm]₂[Si(CN)₆]. When reacting [Mes(nBu)Im]₂[Si(CN)₆] with an excess of the strong Lewis acid B(C₆F₅)₃, the voluminous adduct anion {Si[CN⋅B(C₆F₅)₃]₆}²⁻ was obtained.

Treatment of SF₃CN with freshly sublimed selenium dioxide, SeO₂, lead to sulfinyl cyanide fluoride, FS(O)CN. IR, Raman, ¹⁹F-NMR, uv and mass spectra of the novel compounds are presented as well as some physical and chemical properties.     

Über Dicyanothiocyanatomercurate(II) der Erdalkalimetalle

On the Dicyanothiocyanatomercurates(II) of the Alkaline-earth Metals The reactions between Hg(CN)₂ and M(NCS)₂ · nH₂O (M = Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba; n = 3, 4) in aqueous solutions lead to the compounds M[Hg(CN)₂SCN]₂ · 4 H₂O. The compounds yielded by crystallization are characterized with x-ray, spectroscopic, and thermal methods. The crystal structures of Mg[Hg(CN)₂SCN]₂ · 4 H₂O and Sr[Hg(CN)₂SCN]₂ · 4 H₂O have been determined by x-ray structure analysis. These structures can be compared with the compounds M′Hg(CN)₂SCN (M′ = K, Rb, Cs).     

Lamellar Copper(I) Thiocyanate‐Based Coordination Polymers containing the Alkali Cation ligating Thiacrown Ether 1,10‐Dithia‐18‐crown‐6

The lamellar coordination polymer [(CuSCN)₂(μ‐1,10DT18C6)] (1,10DT18C6 = 1,10‐dithia‐18‐crown‐6), in which staircase‐like CuSCN double chains are bridged by thiacrown ether ligands, may be prepared in two triclinic modifications 1 a and 1 b by reaction of CuSCN with 1,10DT18C6 in respectively benzonitrile or water. Performing the reaction in acetonitrile in the presence of an equimolar quantity of KSCN leads, in contrast, to formation of the K⁺ ligating 2‐dimensional thiocyanatocuprate(I) net [{Cu₂(SCN)₃}^–] of 2 , half of whose Cu(I) atoms are connected by 1,10DT18C6 macrocycles. The potassium cations in [{K(CH₃CN)}{Cu₂(SCN)₃(μ‐1,10DT18C6)}] ( 2 ) are coordinated by all six potential donor atoms of a single thiacrown ether in addition to a thiocyanate S and an acetonitrile N atom. Under similar conditions, reaction of CuI, NaSCN and 1,10DT18C6 affords [{Na(CH₃CN)₂}{Cu₄I₄(SCN)(μ‐1,10DT18C6)}] ( 3 ), which contains distorted Cu₄I₄ cubes as characteristic molecular building units. These are bridged by thiocyanate and thiacrown ether ligands into corrugated Na⁺ ligating sheets. In the presence of divalent Ba²⁺ cations, charge compensation requirements lead to formation of discrete [Cu(SCN)₃(1,10DT18C6‐κS)]^2– anions in [Ba{Cu(SCN)₃(1,10DT18C6‐κS)}] ( 4 ).

Quadricyclane—thermal cycloaddition to polyfluorinated carbonyl compounds: A simple synthesis of polyfluorinated 3-oxatricyclo[4.2.1.0]non-7-enes

Quadricyclane (1) readily undergoes [2+2+2] cycloaddition reactions with electron-deficient fluorinated carbonyl compounds to give polyfluorinated 3-oxatricyclo[4.2.1.0^2,5]non-7-enes in high yields. Hexfluoroacetone, trifluoroacetyl chloride, methyl trifluoropyruvate, α-(fluorosulfonyl)difluoroacetyl fluoride, and bis(trifluoromethyl)ketene all react rapidly with 1. Trifluoracetyl fluoride although less reactive, slowly interacts with 1 at ambient temperature. 1,1,1-Trifluoroacetone, trifluoroacetophenone, carbonyl fluoride, and CF₃C(O)OC₆F₅ require higher temperatures (60-90 °C) for reaction, and ethyl trifluoroacetate is unreactive at 90 °C. Heating 1 with the ethyl hemiacetal of trifluoroacetaldehyde gives the corresponding cycloadduct of CF₃C(O)H in 44% yield.The oxetane product from hexafluoroacetone is remarkably stable to both acids and bases, whereas the oxetanes with α-F or Cl leaving groups are sensitive to acid-catalyzed rearrangement.     

Development of technology of perfluoroethyl isopropyl ketone production

Synthesis of perfluoroethyl isopropyl ketone by an interaction of hexafluoropropene with perfluoropropionic acid fluoride or hexafluoropropene oxide was examined. Interchangeability of perfluoropropionic acid fluoride and hexafluoropropene oxide was demonstrated. The features of perfluoroethyl isopropyl ketone synthesis were studied in polar aprotic solvents on catalysts: alkali metal fluoride. A method for obtaining perfluoroethyl isopropyl ketone by direct catalytic reaction in a tubular reactor without use of solvents was suggested and investigated. The mechanism of interaction was considered. The main impurities resulting in obtaining perfluoroethyl isopropyl ketone were determined. The methods of cleaning perfluoroethyl isopropyl ketone were worked out.

Lattice dimensions at 20°C: a = 834.0(2), b = 1600.0(3), c = 1670.0(3) pm; β = 104.19(3)°. The compound forms an ion pair via one Na F contact of 234.4 pm and one Na Cl contact of 293.4 pm; the nitrosyl ligand ist in trans-position to the F atom of the anion [ReFCl₃(NO)(CH₃CN)]⁻.

Platinum(II) and Palladium(II) Halides and Pseudohalides with the Ligand Tri(1‐cyclohepta‐2, 4, 6‐trienyl)phosphane. X‐Ray Structural Analysis of [P(C7H7)2(η2‐C7H7)]PtI2

Tri(1‐cyclohepta‐2, 4, 6‐trienyl)phosphane, P(C₇H₇)₃ ( 1 ) ([P] when coordinated to a metal) stabilizes platinum(II) ( 2 ) and palladium(II) dihalides ( 3 ) as [P]MX₂ with X = Cl ( a ), Br ( b ) and I ( c ). The phosphane coordinates to the metal as a chelate ligand via both phosphorus and the central η²‐C=C bond of one of the cyclohepta‐2, 4, 6‐trienyl rings. The complexes were prepared by various routes, mainly by the reaction of (cod)MCl₂ (cod = cycloocta‐1, 5‐diene) with 1 to give the chlorides 2a and 3a , which then could be converted into the bromides 2b , 3b or the iodides 2c , 3c by reaction with NaBr or NaI, respectively. The molecular structure of 2c was determined by X‐ray analysis. Treatment of 2a and 3a with sodium or potassium salts of several pseudohalides afforded the complexes [P]MX₂ 2d (NCO/NCO), 2e₁ (NCS/SCN), 2e₁' (SCN/NCS), 2f₂ (SeCN/SeCN), 3f₁ (NCSe/SeCN), 2g and 3g (X = N₃). Attempts failed to synthesize the cyanides 2h and 3h by the same route. By using an excess of trimethylsilyl cyanide in the reaction with 2a in THF solution, the complex trans‐{[(C₇H₇)₃P]₂Pt(CN)₂} ( 4h ) was obtained instead of 2h . The analogous complexes trans‐{[(C₇H₇)₃P]₂MX₂} with M = Pt ( 4 ) and Pd ( 5 ) for X = Cl ( a ), Br ( b ), I ( c ) could be prepared from the reaction of the corresponding tetrahalogenometallates and 1 (in the case of 5c from PdI₂ and 1 ). In contrast to 4h , the complexes 4a‐c and 5a‐c were found to be labile in solution with respect to partial loss of the phosphane 1 and rearrangement into 2a‐c and 3a‐c , respectively. All compounds were characterized by IR spectroscopy and by multinuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P, ⁷⁷Se and ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR). The ligand [P] in 2 and 3 is fluxional with regard to coordination of the C₇H₇ rings to the metal.

Solvent-free synthesis of glycosyl chlorides based on the triphenyl phosphine/hexachloroacetone system

Glycosyl chlorides, useful as glycosyl donors in glycoside synthesis and precursors in organic synthesis, can be easily prepared under solvent-free conditions by exposing a sugar hemiacetal to an equimolar mixture of PPh₃ and hexachloroacetone at 70 °C. The reaction affords products in high yields and short times, and is tolerant of a wide range of commonly adopted protecting groups.
