Density functional theory calculations and vibrational spectra of 3,5-dibromopyridine and 3,5-dichloro-2,4,6-trifluoropyridine

The solid phase mid FTIR and FT-Raman spectra of 3,5-dibromopyridine (3,5-DBP) and 3,5-dichloro-2,4,6-trifluoropyridine (3,5-DCTFP) have been recorded in the regions 4000-400 cm(-1) and 3500-100 cm(-1), respectively. The spectra were interpreted with the help of normal coordinate analysis (NCA) following full structure optimisation and force field calculations based on the density functional theory (DFT) using the standard B3LYP/6-31G( *) method and basis set combination. The results of the calculations are applied to stimulate infrared and Raman spectra of the title compounds which showed excellent agreement with the observed spectra.     

Palladium-catalyzed reaction of boronic acids with chiral and racemic alpha-bromo sulfoxides

Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of racemic alpha-bromo sulfoxides with boronic acids are carried out in either aqueous or nonaqueous medium with formation of a new C sp(3)-C sp(2) bond. The arylation of chiral alpha-bromo sulfoxides occurs without racemization. The cross-coupling reaction is general and gives high yields with arylboronic acids substituted with either donor or acceptor groups but gives poor results with heteroarylboronic acids. The best yields are obtained using degassed solvents and CsF instead of aqueous base. The use of aqueous base and the presence of oxygen favor the homocoupling side reaction.     

Reactions of 2H-3,4-dihydro-1,4-benzoxazin-6(8aH)-ones with 2,4,6-trimethylbenzonitrile oxide,III

The reaction of pyrroles with trimethylhalosilanes-dialkyl sulfoxides

Pyrroles are powerful nucleophiles in the reaction with dialkyl sulfoxides and trimethylchlorosilane (TMCS) or trimethylbromosilane (TMBS), affording sulfonium salts or halo derivatives, generally in good yields.     

Kinetics, products, and mechanism of the reaction of diphenylcarbonyl oxide with sulfoxides

The kinetics of the reactions of diphenylcarbonyl oxide with dimethyl, di-n-hexyl, diphenyl, dibenzyl, andn-hexylbenzyl sulfoxides in acetonitrile was studied by flash photolysis at 295 K. The oxidation of sulfoxide affords the corresponding sulfone as the main reaction product, and diphenyl sulfide also forms in the case of Ph₂SO. Solvent effect on the reaction kinetics and the composition of the reaction products was studied. The reaction mechanism is discussed, which includes two parallel pathways: the nucleophilic attack of carbonyl oxide at the sulfur atom of sulfoxide and the formation of the cyclic sulfurane intermediatevia the electrophilic 1,3-cycloaddition of Ph₂COO at the S=O bond. The sulfurane undergoes fragmentationvia parallel channels to form sulfone or sulfide. Published inIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 9, pp. 1504–1509, September, 2000.

Conversions of allyl aryl sulfoxides under pummerer rearrangement conditions

In the presence of acetic acid, allyl phenyl sulfoxide forms -acetoxyallyl phenyl sulfide and 2-acetoxymethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzothiophene; under the same conditions allyl 1-naphthyl sulfoxide gives 2-methyl-2,3-dihydronaphtho-[1,2-b] thiophenoxide.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 747–749, June, 1985.     

Asymmetric allylation of aldehydes with allyltrichlorosilane promoted by chiral sulfoxides

Allylation of aldehydes with allyltrichlorosilane in the presence of sulfoxides is reported. The use of excess of (R)-methyl-p-tolylsulfoxide resulted in the formation of the corresponding homoallylic alcohols in good yields and moderate enantiomeric excesses.     

Trichlorosilyl triflate for enantioselective direct-type aldol reaction with chiral phosphine oxide

Trichlorosilyl triflate, in the presence of a chiral Lewis base catalyst, provides an effective method for the enantioselective direct-type aldol reaction of aldehydes and ketones. A chiral Lewis base induces both the production and activation of trichlorosilyl enol ether, yielding an aldol product in good yield and with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities.
