Continuous organomagnesium synthesis of organometallic compounds

Continuous organomagnesium synthesis of a number of organic derivatives of 14th group elements of the periodic table was examined in a column apparatus with an agitator. An effect of a molar ratio of reactants, temperature in a reaction zone, and other factors was studied on the yield and composition of the products.     

Tertiary alkyl fluorides and alkylene of difluorides in organomagnesium synthesis

Summary It was shown that when chlorine is replaced by fluorine in tertiary alkyl halides and alkylene dihalides, the yield in the condensation of these substances with Grignard reagents is increased by a factor of 2,5-3.     

Some new fluorine exchange reactions of perfluoroalkyliodine(V)fluorides

The perfluoroalkyliodine (V) fluorides CF₃IF₄ and CF₃IOF₂ react with many alcohols, acids and anhydrids in solution to give fluorine exchange. In all these reactions we observed equilibria, e.g.:

These reactions depend strongly on the kind of the reacting compounds and on the conditions, and they can be followed by n.m.r. spectroscopy. When trying to isolate the new derivatives always decomposition takes place.These reactions, the n.m.r. spectra, the properties of the new compounds and the decomposition reactions will be reported.     

Evidence for chiral organometallic intermerdiates in stereospecific phosphine exchange reactions

Trivalent phosphorus ligand groups have been bonded to a wide range of organic polymers, including polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, polybutadiene and polyvinyl alcohol. The ligand-polymers complex with a variety of transition metal compounds, and the complexes obtained have been shown to catalyse hydrocarbon reactions such as the hydrogenation of 1-hexene and cyclohexene, the hydroformylation of 1-hexene and the cyclodimerisation of butadiene to 4-vinylcyclohexene and 1,5-cyclooctadiene. Macroreticular high surface area cross-linked polystyrene is the most satisfactory organic polymer support.Rhodium complexes of acetylacetone ligand-polymers have also been prepared.

Selective halogen-magnesium exchange reaction via organomagnesium ate complex

Halogen-magnesium exchange of various aryl halides is achieved with a magnesium ate complex at low temperatures. Tributylmagnesate (nBu3MgLi) induces facile iodine-magnesium exchange at -78 degrees C. Dibutylisopropylmagnesate (iPr(n)Bu2MgLi) is more reactive than nBu3MgLi, and this reagent accomplishes selective bromine-magnesium exchange at -78 degrees C. This procedure is utilized for the preparation of various polyfunctionalized arylmagnesium species. The exchange of alkenyl halides using this method proceeds with retention of configuration of the double bond.     

Highly functionalized organomagnesium reagents prepared through halogen-metal exchange

Organomagnesium reagents occupy a central position in synthetic organic and organometallic chemistry. Recently, the halogen-magnesium exchange has considerably extended the range of functionalized Grignard reagents available for synthetic purposes. Functional groups such as esters, nitriles, iodides, imines, or even nitro groups can be present in a wide range of aromatic and heterocyclic organomagnesium reagents. Also various highly functionalized alkenyl magnesium species can be prepared. These recent developments as well as new applications of organomagnesium reagents in cross-coupling reactions and amination reactions will be covered in this Review.     

Direct synthesis of fluorinated peroxides. V. The preparation of pentafluorosulfurperoxy esters by reactions of pentafluorosulfur hydroperoxide with acyl fluorides

The reaction of SF₅OOH with acyl fluorides in the presence of NaF has been investigated and found to yield new peroxy esters of the type RC(O)OOSF₅. An alternate method of synthesis using SF₅OOCl and acyl chlorides is discussed and the cesium fluoride catalyzed conversion of two of the esters to RCF(OF)OOSF₅ is described.     

Mechanochemical reactions of fluorides with hemin

Hemin has two potential sites to react with fluorides, the peripheral acid groups and the central Fe^III cation. The mechanochemical reactions of hemin with fluorides (LiF, NaF, KF, CsF, NH₄F and AgF) were monitored using X-ray diffraction (XRD), and IR and Mössbauer spectroscopies. LiF and NaF were found inert when milled with hemin, however KF, CsF, NH₄F and AgF react at both hemin sites. At the iron site Cl⁻ is replaced by F⁻ with formation of KCl, CsCl, NH₄Cl, and AgCl, as detected by XRD, while with the peripheral acid groups, fluorides collect the acidic protons to form KHF₂, CsHF₂, NH₄HF and AgHF₂. The reactions of hemin with the reactive fluorides take place first at the iron site and then at the propionic acid groups.     

The room temperature preparation of metastable fluorides and potent oxidizers

The low electronegativity of an oxidation state in an anion enables high oxidation states, e.g. Ni^IV, and Ag^III, to be easily attained in liquid anhydrous HF (aHF), made basic with fluoride-ion donors. The oxidation state can be enhanced if elemental fluorine is photo-dissociated. Teflon^® valves and lines, especially transparent and kinetically stable fluorocarbon containers for the aHF solutions, provide for this. Binary fluorides that are of low solubility in aHF, can be displaced by stronger F⁻ acceptors from their high oxidation-state anions. NiF₄, NiF₃, and AgF₃, which can be made in this manner, are thermodynamically unstable with respect to loss of fluorine. The electronegativity of the oxidation state in the binary fluoride is higher than in the anion (hence the metastability) and when a strong F⁻ acceptor converts the binary fluoride into a cationic species, the electronegativity is further enhanced. Thus cationic Ag^III and Ni^IV are superior to KrF⁺, as one-electron oxidizers and are the most potent oxidizers known thus far. They are able to remove the electron from all platinum-metal hexafluoro-anions, MF₆⁻, to liberate the hexafluorides. All of this chemistry can be achieved at or below room temperature.     

Studies on the preparation and exchange reactions of 5-deuterated uracils

The mechanism of base catalyzed proton exchange at the 5-position of uracil and its N-methylated derivatives has been studied. These reactions proceed by addition — elimination across the 5,6-double bond when the 1-nitrogen is substituted with a methyl group, or with anchimeric assistance of the N-1 anion if the 1-position is unsubstituted. The base catalyzed hydrolyses of 1,3-dimethyluracil and 3-methyluracil also appear to proceed through hydrated intermediates. A facile method for an acid catalyzed preparation of 5-deuterated uracils is described as well as a simple and accurate method for analysis of deuterium content.     

The formation of organometallic compounds by sulphur dioxide elimination reactions of the pentafluorobenzenesulphinate ion

Only two preparations of pentafluorophenylorganometallics by sulphur dioxide elimination reactions have been reported. Thermal decomposition of the S-sulphinato complex C₆F₅SO₂Fe(π-C₅H₅)(CO)₂ gives C₆F₅Fe(π-C₅H₅)(CO)₂¹, and a pentaflurophenyliridium compound has been prepared by the reaction²:IrCl(Ph₃P)₂N₂ + C₆F₅SO₂Cl→ C₆F₅IrCl₂(Ph₃P)₂SO₂ + N₂ (1)     

The preparation and characterisation of some new binary fluorides of antimony

Antimony pentafluoride acts as a useful oxidising agent towards many non-metals, giving interesting cations, and in the process is itself reduced. It would be helpful to know what the reduced products are, and under what conditions they are formed. Therefore, SbF₅ and the known SbF₅·SbF₃⁽¹⁾ in AsF₃ solution were reduced by iodine and/or PF₃ giving crystals of the new adduct, (SbF₃)₆(SbF₅)₅ [Monoclinic, a = 11.638(1), b = 8.995(1), c = 16.723(3) ā, β = 106.81(1)°, P2₁/c]; (SbF₃)₅(SbF₅)₃ [Orthorhombic, a = 19.187(9), b = 15.890(2), c = 15.713(3) ā, Pnma] and (SbF₃)₃SbF₅ [Monoclinic, a = 10.895(3), b = 10.941(3), c = 4.772(1) ā, β = 96.66(3)°, P2₁/m]. (SbF₃)₃SbF₅ seemed to be the most reduced adduct, no evidence was obtained for (SbF₃)_n(SbF₅) n > 3, under these conditions. The (SbF₃)₆(SbF₅)₅ adduct has a Raman spectrum identical to that reported by Gillespie⁽²⁾ and coworkers for an adduct of approximate composition SbF₃·SbF₅ and has a very different structure to that of (SbF₃)₆(SbF₆)₅ reported by Edwards.⁽³⁾ The crystal structures of the new adducts will be discussed and the cations they contain compared with those found in SbF₃·SbF₅⁽¹⁾ and (SbF₅)₆(SbF₅)₅⁽³⁾ (Edward's form).     

Stereoselective syntheses of piperidinones and their modification by organometallic coupling reactions

Dehydropiperidinones stereoselectively obtained from N-arabinosyl imines were iodinated at the enaminone structure. Knochel iodine-magnesium exchange afforded Grignard compounds of these piperidinone derivatives which reacted, either directly or after transmetalation to zinc or copper intermediates, with alkyl-, aryl- or acylhalides to give correspondingly substituted piperidinones. Stereoselective conjugate allyl cuprate addition to a thus obtained 5-allyl dehydropiperidinone and ring-closing metathesis of the product gave a hydroquinolinone containing three stereogenic centers.
