Metathesis polymerization of norbornene and terminal acetylenes catalyzed by bis(acetonitrile) complexes of molybdenum and tungsten

The ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of norbornene catalyzed by bis(acetonitrile) molybdenum and tungsten complexes, [M(η³-C₃H₅)Cl(CO)₂(NCMe)₂] (1-Mo: M = Mo, 1-W: M = W), which have two labile acetonitrile ligands, has been investigated. These complexes catalyzed the ROMP of norbornene as a single-component initiator. The highly cis-selective polymerization proceeded in a THF solution (95% for 1-Mo and 96% for 1-W), whereas polymerization in CH₂Cl₂ or toluene resulted in lower cis selectivity. The polymerization of terminal acetylenes using these complexes was also examined. The tungsten complex 1-W showed a high catalytic activity for the polymerization of terminal acetylenes, such as phenyl- and tert-butylacetylene. A highly active catalytic system for the ROMP of norbornene was achieved by the activation of the tungsten complex, 1-W, with one equivalent of phenylacetylene, giving poly(norbornene) with a high molecular weight (M_n = 391 × 10⁴) and a high cis selectivity (cis  89%).

Heterotelechelic Polymers by Ring‐Opening Metathesis and Regioselective Chain Transfer

Heterotelechelic polymers were synthesized by a kinetic telechelic ring‐opening metathesis polymerization method relying on the regioselective cross‐metathesis of the propagating Grubbs’ first‐generation catalyst with cinnamyl alcohol derivatives. This procedure allowed the synthesis of hetero‐bis‐end‐functional polymers in a one‐pot setup. The molecular weight of the polymers could be controlled by varying the ratio between cinnamyl alcohol derivatives and monomer. The end functional groups can be changed using different aromatically substituted cinnamyl alcohol derivatives. Different monomers were investigated and the presence of the functional groups was shown by NMR spectroscopy and MALDI‐ToF mass spectrometry. Labeling experiments with dyes were conducted to demonstrate the orthogonal addressability of both chain ends of the heterotelechelic polymers obtained.

Synthetic Approach Towards Hexaprismane. A Novel Entry to Homosecohexaprismane Skeleton by Cage Enlargement

A series of caged 1,4-diols, 26, 29a/29b, 31 , were synthesized from the Diels-Alder cycloadduct 21 of 1,2,3,4-tetrachloro-5,5-dimethoxycyclopentadiene and 1,4-benzoquinone. Reduction of enedione 21 with aqueous TiCl₃, followed by base-catalyzed enolization in the presence of acetic anhydride, gave diene 23b , which reacted with maleic anhydride and 1,4-benzoquinone to produce the corresponding [4+2] cycloadducts 24b and 27 , respectively. The adduct 24b was converted to birdcaged 1,4-diol 26 by photocyclization followed by decarboxylative olefination of resulted caged anhydride 25b . The adduct 27 was photocyclized to cage compound 28 , which was aromatized to dihydroquinone 29a by acid-catalyzed enolization, or benzo-annulated compound 31 by reduction and dehydration. The birdcaged 1,4-diols 26 and 31 underwent fragmentation induced by (diacetoxyiodo)benzene to give enediones 38/39 and 41/42 , respectively. Photocyclization of 38 and 39 produced the corresponding caged compounds 43 and 44 , respectively, possessing homosecohexaprismane skeletons. The corresponding monohydrate 43a of 43 was structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

Synthesis of Linear (Z)‐α,β‐Unsaturated Esters by Catalytic Cross‐Metathesis. The Influence of Acetonitrile

Kinetically controlled catalytic cross‐metathesis reactions that generate (Z)‐α,β‐unsaturated esters selectively are disclosed. A key finding is that the presence of acetonitrile obviates the need for using excess amounts of a more valuable terminal alkene substrates. On the basis of X‐ray structure and spectroscopic investigations a rationale for the positive impact of acetonitrile is provided. Transformations leading to various E,Z‐dienoates are highly Z‐selective as well. Utility is highlighted by application to stereoselective synthesis of the C1–C12 fragment of biologically active natural product (?)‐laulimalide.

Construction of a MOF-Supported Palladium Catalyst via Metal Metathesis

A new MOF-supported heterogeneous palladium catalyst Pd/NBB-1 has been synthesized successfully through the effective metal metathesis between Pd(CF₃COO)₂ and NBB-1. NBB-1 is a two-dimensional zinc metal-organic framework constructed from 2-aminoterephthalate (NH₂−H₂BDC) and 2,2′-bipyridine-5-carboxylate (HBPC) by solvothermal method. The replacement efficiency of Pd(II) to Zn(II) is up to 72% after only 24 hours, which is beneficial to the catalytic application. Pd/NBB-1 with a low loading of 2 mol% works efficiently in the 1,4-addition reaction of arylboronic acids with α,β-unsaturated ketones in air, and its catalytic activity keeps unchanged after 3 reaction cycles. This work provides a new strategy to effectively prepare supported noble metal/MOF catalysts, which would further increase the practical applications of metal-organic frameworks.

An efficient synthesis of chiral isoquinuclidines by Diels-Alder reaction using Lewis acid catalyst

The Diels-Alder reaction of 1,2-dihydropyridine derivatives (1-phenoxycarbonyl-1,2-dihydropyridine 1 or 1-methoxycarbonyl-1,2-dihydropyridine 4) with N-acryloyl (1S)-2,10-camphorsultam (1S)-2 {or N-acryloyl (1R)-2,10-camphorsultam (1R)-2} in the presence of Lewis acid, such as titanium tetrachloride, zirconium tetrachloride, and hafnium tetrachloride afforded the endo-cycloaddition product, 2-azabicyclo[2.2.2]octane derivatives in good yields with excellent diastereoselectivity. The absolute stereochemistry assignment of the endo-cycloaddition product (1S)-5a starting from N-acryloyl (1S)-2,10-camphorsultam (1S)-2 has been established to be (1S,4R,7S) and the reaction mechanism was proposed.     

Study on Post-Polymerization Modification of Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymers Involving Pendant Thiolactone Units

Two different oxanorbornene monomers were prepared and copolymerized with butyl-functionalized oxanorbornene monomer through the ring-opening metathesis polymerization. The resulting polymers were then subjected to the aminolysis reactions with propylamine (PA) in the presence of methyl acrylate (MA) to capture, in situ, the latent thiol. It was found that the polymer, in which the thiolactone unit is close to the polymer backbone, did not undergo an efficient aminolysis reaction even an excess amount of PA was utilized, while the other polymer, in which the thiolactone unit away from the polymer backbone, did efficiently undergo aminolysis reaction even PA was used in low amounts. Besides, a variety of primary amine compounds along with MA were reacted with the polymer, in which the thiolactone group away from the polymer backbone, to test their reactivity toward the aminolysis reactions. All modified polymers were characterized by using conventional instruments such as gel permeation chromatography, nuclear magnetic resonance, and differential scanning calorimetry. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Tandem furo[3,4-b]pyridine formation—Diels-Alder reaction: an approach to the synthesis of nitrogen containing heterocyclic analogues of 1-arylnaphthalene lignans

The coupling of Fischer carbene complexes with 2-alkynyl-3-pyridine carbonyl derivatives has been examined. The reaction affords furo[3,4-b]pyridine as transient intermediates; the latter undergo [4+2] cycloaddition with an electron-deficient dienophile. Acid/base-induced ring opening of the exo-cycloadducts followed by aromatization give substituted quinolines related to heterocyclic analogues of 1-arylnaphthalene lignans. An intramolecular variant of this protocol is also feasible with use of unactivated alkenyl tethers; however, the bridged cycloadducts are unisolable as they undergo spontaneous ring opening to yield alcohol. This method is also useful for the in situ generation of the furo[3,4-b]quinoline intermediate for the first time, which can be trapped with dienophiles.
