Copper(II) acetate promoted oxidative cyclization of arylsulfonyl-o-allylanilines

Tosyl-o-allylaniline 1 undergoes oxidative cyclization to produce tetracycle 2 upon treatment with Cu(OAc)(2) and Cs(2)CO(3) at 120 degrees C. The scope of the reaction was extended to other N-sulfonylated aromatic systems.     

Copper(II)-mediated oxidative cyclization of enamides to oxazoles

The copper(II)-mediated oxidative cyclization of enamides to oxazoles is reported. A range of 2,5-disubstituted oxazoles were prepared in moderate to good yields in two steps from simple amide and alkyne precursors.     

Copper iodide-catalyzed cyclization of (Z)-chalcogenoenynes

We present here our results of the efficient copper-catalyzed cyclizations of chalcogenoenynes and establish a route to obtain 3-substituted chalcogenophenes in good to excellent yields. In addition, the obtained chalcogenophenes were readily transformed to more complex products using the palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions with boronic acids to give Suzuki-type products in good yields.     

Auto-redox reaction: tin(II) chloride-mediated one-step reductive cyclization leading to the synthesis of novel biheterocyclic 5,6-dihydro-quinazolino[4,3-b]quinazolin-8-ones with three-point diversity

[reaction: see text] A tin(II) chloride-mediated short, efficient, and practical regioselective synthesis of biheterocyclic 5,6-dihydro-quinazolino[4,3-b]quinazolin-8-ones with three-point diversity is reported. A one-step reductive transformation of 2-(2-nitrophenyl)-3H-quinazolin-4-one in various alcohols furnished the desired tetracyclic product in good yields with high purity.     

Microdetermination of Copper(II) by an exchange reaction on paper

Summary Two methods are given for the determination of copper in very dilute solutions in water (1g/ml). The sample is passed through filter paper impregnated with cadmium sulphide. Copper, lead, mercury, silver and bismuth ions at p^H1.5–2 give an exchange reaction with the cadmium and are caught on the paper. When the paper is washed free from acid, dried, and treated with potassium cyanide, only the copper sulphide reacts. The excess of cyanide can be determined by its reaction with a filter impregnated with silver chloride, the size of the spot washed free from silver being a measure of the amount of cyanide. No other ions interfere with this method. If the other exchanging ions are absent, the copper can be estimated directly from the intensity of the copper sulphide stain on the cadmium sulphide paper, a standard series of stains being used for comparison. The range is 10–150g of copper in 500–1000 ml the error being 3% for the cyanide method, and 7–8% for the standard series method.

Zusammenfassung Zwei Bestimmungsmethoden für Cu in sehr verdünnten wäßrigen Lösungen (1g/ml) werden angegeben. Man läßt die Probe durch ein mit CdS imprägniertes Filterpapier laufen. Cu, Pb, Hg, Ag und Bi werden bei p^H 1,5 bis 2 durch eine Austauschreaktion auf dem Papier festgehalten. Wird dieses säurefrei gewaschen, getrocknet und mit KCN behandelt, so reagiert nur CuS. Der Cyanidüberschuß kann durch seine Reaktion mit einem AgCl-imprägnierten Filter bestimmt werden, wobei das freigewaschene Silber als Maß für die Cyanidmenge dient. Die Methode wird von keinen anderen Ionen gestört. Fehlen die vier neben Cu genannten Ionen, so läßt sich die Cu-Menge direkt aus der am CdS-Papier entstehenden Färbung schätzen, wozu man. sich einer Reihe von Standardfärbungen bedient. 10 bis 150g Cu lassen sich in 500 bis 1000 ml mit einem Fehler von 3% nach der Cyanidmethode, und 7 bis 8% mit Hilfe der Standardreihe bestimmen.

Synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted indole using palladium(II)-catalyzed cyclization with alkenylation reaction

The reaction of ethyl 2-ethynylphenylcarbamate derivative with alkenes in the presence of a palladium(II) catalyst, copper dichloride and tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) produced 2-substituted 3-ethenylindoles during refluxing. The intramolecular cyclization reaction of ethyl 2-ethynylphenylcarbamates, which have an ethenyl part in the ethynyl group, was also used to produce carbazole derivatives.     

Copper(II) chloride-catalyzed Glaser oxidative coupling reaction in polyethylene glycol

Polyethylene glycol was shown to be an environmentally benign reaction medium for the copper(II) salt -catalyzed Glaser coupling reaction of terminal alkynes. In particular, oxygen as the sole oxidant worked very well for arylacetylenes even in short reaction time. The product was easily separated by extraction and the catalytic system could be reused four times without significant loss of reactivity.     

Electrophilic Copper(II) → Metal(II) Substitution in Gelatin-Immobilized Copper(II) Hexacyanoferrate(II) Matrix Implants

Contact of thin layers of gelatin-immobilized copper(II) hexacyanoferrate(II) matrices with aqueous solutions of Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II) chlorides results in partial substitution of these ions for Cu(II) to give (dd)-heterobinuclear hexacyanoferrates(II) of copper(II) and the corresponding double-charged ion.     

Regioselective radical cyclization initiated by the reaction of allylic hydroperoxides with iron(II) sulfate

Treatment of 1-methyl-2-methylene-1-cyclohexyl hydroperoxide with a mixture of FeSO₄/CuCl₂ yielded 1-(1-chlorocyclohexyl)ethanone as the major product consistent with 6-endo-trig cyclization of the intermediate 5-acetylhex-5-enyl radical. This strategy was extended to the ring enlargement of a series of 1-isopropenylcycloalkyl hydroperoxides. Regioselective 7- or 8-endo-trig cyclization reactions could be achieved by treatment of the corresponding cyclopentyl or cyclohexyl hydroperoxides with either a mixture of FeSO₄/CuCl₂ or with FeSO₄ only. The influence of substituents on the efficiency of the 8-endo-trig cyclization process was also explored.     

Palladium(II) catalyzed cyclization of alkynoic acids

Under the catalytic action of palladium(II) in the presence of triethylamine, 3-, 4-, and 5-alkynoic acids afford 3-buten-4-olides, 4-penten-4-olides, and 5-hexen-5-olide, respectively, in good to excellent yields.     

Copper(II)-bis(oxazoline) catalyzed asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction with alpha'-arylsulfonyl enones as dienophiles

Alpha'-arylsulfonyl enones are efficient bidentate dienophiles for the Cu(II)-bis(oxazoline) catalyzed enantioselective Diels-Alder reaction with a number of dienes, affording the corresponding products with good to high enantiomeric excesses. The resulting products can be alkylated and the sulfone removed, so alpha'-arylsulfonyl enones can be regarded as surrogates of simple monodentate enones, which are poor dienophiles with this catalytic system.     

Thermolysis of Coprecipitated Copper(II)-Nickel(II) Hydroxides

Coprecipitated copper(II)-nickel(II) hydroxides and mechanical mixtures of these were obtained at varied metal ion ratio and time of mother liquor aging and studied by potentiometric titration, chemical and differential thermal analyses, IR spectroscopy, and X-ray phase analysis.     

Cerium(III) chloride-mediated reactions of sulfonamide dianions

Presented here is the first report on the ability of cerium(III) chloride to mediate high-yielding and, oftentimes, highly diastereoselective additions of N-benzyl-alpha, N-dilithio methanesulfonamide to aldehydes and ketones of biological importance. Smooth addition was effected to base-sensitive substrates such as Fmoc-protected alaninal, citral, 5-cholesten-3-one, uridine 5'-aldehyde, 3'-ketouridine, and 3'-ketothymidine. The reaction was chemoselective for aldehydes in the presence of nitriles. Acetoxy groups are labile and thus not suitable protecting groups for alcohols under these conditions. N-Benzyl-alpha, N-dilithio methanesulfonamide was found to be of sufficient basicity to cause enolate formation with sensitive substrates, such as 1-phenylacetone. However, the addition of cerium(III) chloride mediated the basicity of the dianion and suppressed enolate formation in these cases. Further, cerium(III) has general utility for the addition of various N-aliphatic/aromatic methanesulfonamide dianions to 3'-ketouridine.     

Copper(II) tetrafluoroborate catalyzed ring-opening reaction of epoxides with alcohols at room temperature

[reaction: see text] Efficient ring opening of different epoxides by reaction with representative alcohols is presented. These processes were carried out at room temperature and rely on the usefulness of commercial copper tetrafluoroborate as catalyst.     

Ruthenium(II)-catalyzed cyclization of azabenzonorbornadienes with alkynes

The ruthenium-catalyzed cyclization of azabenzonorbornadienes with alkynes leads to an unanticipated dihydrobenzoindole framework. Depending on the structure of the alkyne and the Ru catalyst, either a dihydrobenzoindole and/or a [2+2] cycloaddition product could be formed. Cp*Ru(COD)Cl was found to be an active catalyst for the cyclization of an azabenzonorbornadiene with a propargylic alcohol to produce the dihydrobenz[g]indole as a single regio and stereoisomer in good yield. For other alkynes, selective formation of the dihydrobenz[g]indole is possible by using a cationic Ru catalyst, [Cp*Ru(CH3CN)3]PF6.
