rac-BINAP-PdCl2 catalyzed Heck reactions of 3-formylquinolin-2-yl chlorides with methyl acrylate: synthesis of methyl 3-(3-formylquinolin-2-yl) acrylates

rac-BINAP-PdCl₂ catalytic system catalyzed Heck reaction of 3-formylquinolin-2-yl chlorides with methyl acrylate in DMA is described to the synthesis of methyl 3-(3-formyl-quinolin-2-yl)-acrylates, in good to excellent yields. The reaction could be also extended with other activated alkenes to afford Heck products. Fused-benzene ring in heterocyclic and carbocyclic moieties was found to enhance the yields.     

Über Na2PrO3 und Na2TbO3

On Na₂PrO₃ and Na₂TbO₃ Using an exchange reaction of Na₂O with Li₈TbO₆ (Na : Tb = 2.1 : 1; au-tube; 750°C, 30 d) yellow-orange colored single crystals of Na₂TbO₃ could be prepared for the first time. Na₂TbO₃ crystallizes monoclinic in C2/c (Z = 8; a = 576.92(6), b = 1001.27(9), c = 1117.91(14) pm, β = 99.98(1)°). According to four-circle data the Li₂SnO₃-type of structure is adopted (PW 1100, MoKα , 1935 I₀ (hkl), R = 4.86%, R_w = 3.63% for all 928 unique reflexions). By a similar exchange reaction of Na₂O with Li₈PrO₆ for the first time single crystals of Na₂PrO₃ could be prepared, too (Na : Pr = 2.2 : 1; au-tube; 700°C; 23 d). The structure determination reveils that there is a variant of the NaCl-type of structure, which ressembles to the Li₂SnO₃-type of structure (PW 1100, MoKα , 2199 I₀ (hkl)), R = 8.88%, R_w = 5.21% for all 947 unique reflexions; C2/c, Z = 8, a = 678.78(5), b = 977.47(7), c = 1080.38(9) pm, β = 108,4(1)°. In contrast to Na₂TbO₃ there are no layers according to NaO(Na_1/3Tb_2/3)O. All octahedral intersticies are occupied systematically with Pr⁴⁺ and Na⁺ : (Na_2/3Pr_1/3)O(Na_2/3Pr_1/3)O.

Crystal Structure of Tb₂Se₃ Single crystals of Tb₂Se₃ could be prepared by chemical transport reaction with AlCl₃. By starting from TbSe_1.9 and terbium metal black needles of Tb₂Se₃ in the U₂S₃ type structure with the space group Pnma and a = 1113,0(1) pm, b = 402,4(1) pm and c = 1095,1(3) pm were obtained.     

Die reaktion von CF3CH2I mit (CH3)2Cd - ein beitrag zum reaktionsverhalten von polyfluoralkyliod-verbindungen mit metallorganischen verbindungen

CF₃CH₂I reacts with (CH₃)₂Cd in two steps by CF₃CH₂/CH₃exchange to yield CF₃CH₂CdCH₃ and (CF₃CH₂)₂Cd along with CH₃I. Although the previously unknown Cd-Compounds decompose readily in the course of the reaction and thus could not be isolated, they have been identified unambigously by ¹H, ¹⁹F-n.m.r.-spectroscopy. This reaction shows that the iodine in alkyliodine-compounds has to be strongly positively polarized to allow a reaction between alkyliodine- and dialkylcadmium- compounds.     

Preparation of Ag‐doped g‐C3N4 Nano Sheet Decorated Magnetic γ‐Fe2O3@SiO2 Core–Shell Hollow Spheres through a Novel Hydrothermal Procedure: Investigation of the Catalytic activity for A3, KA2 Coupling Reactions and [3 + 2] Cycloaddition

Taking advantageous of both g‐C₃N₄ and magnetic core‐shell hollow spheres, for the first time a heterogeneous and magnetically separable hybrid system was prepared through a novel and simple hydrothermal procedure and used for immobilization of bio‐synthesized Ag(0) nanoparticles. The hybrid system was fully characterized by using SEM/EDS, FTIR, VSM, TEM, XRD, TGA, DTGA, ICP‐AES, BET and elemental mapping analysis. The catalytic utility of the obtained system, h‐Fe₂O₃@SiO₂/g‐C₃N₄/Ag, for promoting ultrasonic‐assisted A³, KA² coupling reactions and [3 + 2] cycloaddition has been confirmed. The results established that the catalyst could efficiently catalyze the reaction to afford the corresponding products in high yields in short reaction times. The reusability study confirmed that the catalyst could be recovered and reused for at least five reaction runs with only slight loss of the catalytic activity. The hot filtration test also proved low silver leaching, indicating the heterogeneous nature of the catalysis.     

Kinetic modeling of the CH3 + C2H2 reaction data with sensitivity analyses

Kinetic modeling and sensitivity analyses for the reaction CH₃ + C₂H₂ → CH₃C₂H₂ (4) have been performed according to the experimental conditions and results of Mandelcorn and Steacie, Garcia Dominguez and Trotman–Dickenson, and Holt and Kerr. The kinetically modeled results show that Mandelcorn and Steacie overestimated the rate constant of reaction (4) whereas Garcia Dominguez and Trotman-Dickenson underestimated it, and that there could be significant uncertainty in the steady-state treated results of Holt and Kerr. Reanalysis of Garcia Dominguez and Trotman–Dickenson's experimental data by kinetic modeling with the proper mechanism gives a more reliable rate constant for reaction (4). The improved rate constant (k₄) is in good agreement with our theoretically predicted values. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Darstellung und charakterisierung von (CF3)2PPH2 und (CF3)2AsPH2

(CF₃)₂EPH₂ (E = P,As) may be prepared in high yield by the cleavage of M-P bonds in compounds of the type R₃MPH₂ (M = Si, Ge, Sn) with (CF₃)₂EX (X = Cl, Br, I). The direction of bond fission depends on X and on the reaction temperature. These new compounds may also be obtained, but in lower yield, by the reaction of LiAl(PH₂)₄ with (CF₃)₂EX. Application of the principle of this reaction to other R′₂EX compounds [(CH₃)₂PCl, (CH₃)₂AsI, F₂PX (X = Br, I)] has been investigated. The IR and NMR spectra of the new compounds are reported.

本文用量子化学密度泛函方法对C3H2 (环丙烯基自由基)与O(3P)反应的机理进行了理论研究。在B3LYP/6-311++G**计算水平上优化了各驻点（过渡态,中间体,产物）的几何结构,在QCISD(T)/6-311++G**水平下计算了各物质的单点能量,在两种水平下计算了298K和600K时的能量。计算结果表明：C3H2 + O(3P) 反应可以生成P1 (C2H +HCO),P2 (C2H2 + CO) 和P3 (HC3O+H)三种产物。生成P1反应通道的能垒最低,即P1为主要产物,与实验的结果一致。产物P1可以通过路径：R→ IM1→ IM2→ P1获得。本文详细地讨论了C3H2 + O(3P) 的反应机理,并从理论上对实验结果进行了验证。研究结果有助于深入理解C3H2 + O(3P)反应机理以及C3H2在大气中的燃烧过程。     

First practical synthesis of 2- or 3-fluoroalkylated indenols via cobalt-catalyzed [2 + 3] carbocyclization of fluorine-containing alkynes and 2-iodoaryl ketones

[2 + 3] Cycloaddition reaction of fluorine-containing alkynes with various 2-iodoaryl ketones in the presence of CoCl₂(dppf) catalyst proceeded very smoothly to give the corresponding 2- or 3-fluoroalkylated indenols in 57–98% yields. These regioisomers could be successfully separated and obtained in a pure form. From X-ray crystallographic and NOESY analyses, major or minor regioisomers were determined as 3- or 2-fluoroalkylated indenols, respectively.     

Zur Polymorphie von Sm2Se3

Polymorphism of Sm₂Se₃ Two modifications of Sm₂Se₃ could be obtained in form of single crystals by chemical transport reaction. We prepared starting from Sm₂Se₃ powders red brown crystals of Sm₂Se₃ in the defective Th₃P₄ type structure with the space group I4 3d and a = 878.2 pm as well as starting from SmSe_1.9 and samarium metal black, prismatic crystals of Sm₂Se₃ in the U₂S₃ type structure with the space group Pnma and a = 1 127.3 pm, b = 409.1 pm and c = 1103.2 pm.     

An Efficient Synthesis of 2-CF3-3-Benzylindoles

The reaction of α-CF₃-β-(2-nitroaryl) enamines with benzaldehydes afforded effectively α,β-diaryl-CF₃-enones having nitro group. Subsequent reduction of nitro group by NH₄HCO₂-Pd/C system initiated intramolecular cyclization to give 2-CF₃-3-benzylindoles. Target products can be prepared in up to quantitative yields. Broad synthetic scope of the reaction was shown. Probable mechanism of indole formation is proposed.     

In(OTf)3 catalyzed reductive etherification of 2-aryloxybenzaldehydes and 2-(arylthio)benzaldehydes

2-Aryloxybenzaldehydes and 2-(arylthio)benzaldehydes undergo reductive etherification in presence of 5 mol% In(OTf)₃ and stoichiometric amount of Et₃SiH under solvent free conditions to generate novel symmetrical dibenzyl ethers and thioethers in excellent yields. In(OTf)₃ is found to be superior in terms of catalytic activity over the other metal triflates tested for the reaction. Xanthenes and thioxanthenes, as anticipated, could not be obtained under these conditions.     

An efficient method for chlorination of alcohols using PPh3/Cl3CCONH2

A new and convenient method for the chlorination of alcohols utilizing PPh₃/Cl₃CCONH₂ is addressed. Various alcohols could smoothly be converted into their corresponding alkyl chlorides in high yield under mild conditions with short reaction times. A mechanism is disclosed with the evidence of inversion of configuration of the analogous alkyl chloride derived from R-(−)-2-octanol.     

A kinetics study of the reaction of SO2 with CH3O2

The reaction ot CH₃O₂ with SO₂ has been studied using the flash photolysis/ultraviolet absorption technique. In contrast to previous measurements, no reaction could be detected over the temperature range 298–423 K. An upper limit of 5 × 10^?17 cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1 has been determined for the reaction rate constant.     

Controlled synthesis of urchin-like Bi2S3 via hydrothermal method

The urchin-like Bi₂S₃ nanostructures have been grown by a facile environmentally friendly hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectrum demonstrate that the obtained samples are composed of pure orthorhombic phase Bi₂S₃. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images reveal that it is produced as uniform urchin-like pattern with spherical symmetry. High-resolution (HR) TEM and selected-area electron diffraction (SAED) demonstrate that the nanowires which grow radially from the center of the urchin-like nanostructures toward all directions are single-crystalline and grow along the [001]. It is found that the reaction time, reaction temperature and thiourea (Tu) play key roles for the formation of urchin-like Bi₂S₃ nanostructures. The formation mechanism is ascribed to self-assembly and the intrinsic splitting character of the Bi₂S₃ structure. The urchin-like Bi₂S₃ composed of porous nanorods, solid nanorods and nanowires could be found potential application in optical, catalysts and sensor devices.     

Synthese und Deprotonierung des verzweigten Triphosphanyltetrasilans PhSi(SiMe2PH2)3

The branched triphosphanyltetrasilane PhSi(SiMe₂PH₂)₃ ( 1 ) could be obtained in a three‐stage synthesis. It was characterised by multi‐nuclear NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and IR spectroscopy. Deprotonation of 1 with GaiPr₃ or [M{N(SiMe₃)₂}₂(thf)₂] (M = Ca, Sr, Ba) yields new phosphorus bridged polynuclear complexes of these metals with phosphorus atoms connected through tetrasilane fragments. While trinuclear complexes with single deprotonated phosphanyl groups could be obtained from the reactions of 1 with GaiPr₃, calcium or barium silazanide (compounds 2 , 3 and 5 ), the tetranuclear complex [Sr₄{PhSi(SiMe₂PH)₂(SiMe₂P)}₂(dme)₆] ( 4 ) was formed in the reaction of 1 with strontium silazanide. In this compound, two of six phosphorus atoms are deprotonated twice. Compounds 2 – 5 were characterised by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, elemental analysis as well as IR spectroscopy and as far as possible by NMR spectroscopic techniques.     

The Coordination Chemistry of the Ylide Adduct O2CC(PPh3)2; Preparation,Crystal Structures,and Spectroscopic Properties of [Cl3In{O2CC(PPh3)2}], [Cl2Sn{O2CC(PPh3)2}], and [I2In{O2CC(PPh3)2}2]I

The betain like carbodiphosphorane CO₂ adduct O₂CC(PPh₃)₂ ( 1a ) can serve as a ligand versus hard Lewis acids from main group compounds. Thus, reaction of 1a with InCl₃, InI₃ and SnCl₂ in polar solvents leads to the addition compounds [Cl₃In{O₂CC(PPh₃)₂}] ( 2 ), [Cl₂SnO₂CC(PPh₃)₂}] ( 3 ) and the salt like compound [I₂In{O₂CC(PPh₃)₂}₂]I ( 4 ) in good yields. Whereas in the indium compounds 1a acts as a chelating ligand, in the tin compound the molecule coordinates with one oxygen atom only as a monodentate ligand. 4 has a pyramidal structure with a stereochemical active pair of electrons. All compounds could be characterized by X‐ray analyses and the usual spectroscopic methods.     

Bis(bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphino)silan [(Me3Si)2P]2SiH2 und 1,2-Bis(bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphino)disilan [(Me3Si)2PSiH2]2

The compounds H₂Si[P(SiMe₃)₂]₂ and [H₂SiP(SiMe₃)₂]₂ were prepared and characterized by ²⁹Si NMR, ³¹P NMR, IR and Raman spectroscopy. After thermolysis of these compounds no cyclic silylphosphanes could be detected in the reaction mixture,although this did contain P(SiMe₃)₃.     

Water‐Enhanced Synthesis of Higher Alcohols from CO2 Hydrogenation over a Pt/Co3O4 Catalyst under Milder Conditions

The effect of water on CO₂ hydrogenation to produce higher alcohols (C₂–C₄) was studied. Pt/Co₃O₄, which had not been used previously for this reaction, was applied as the heterogeneous catalyst. It was found that water and the catalyst had an excellent synergistic effect for promoting the reaction. High selectivity of C₂–C₄ alcohols could be achieved at 140 °C (especially with DMI (1,3‐dimethyl‐2‐imidazolidinone) as co‐solvent), which is a much lower temperature than reported previously. The catalyst could be reused at least five times without reducing the activity and selectivity. D₂O and ¹³CH₃OH labeling experiments indicated that water involved in the reaction and promoted the reaction kinetically, and ethanol was formed via CH₃OH as an intermediate.     

Synthesis of Ethyl (2RS,3SR)-1-Tosyl-3-Vinylazetidine-2-carboxylate and ethyl (2RS,E)-3-ethylidene-1-tosylazetidine-2-carboxylate (=rac-ethyl N-tosylpolyximate)

The synthesis of 3-ethylideneazetidine-2-carboxylic acid (=polyoximic acid; 3 ) is a approached in two different ways leading to potential precursors of 3 . The first way involved a ring closure to a vinyl-subsatituted azetidin. Thus, Ireland-Claisen rearrangement of the Boc-glycinates 6 and 10 of (Z)- and (E)-2-butene-1,4-diol afforded, after exchange of the N-protecting groups, the isomeric 2-(tosylamino)-3-vinylbutanolides 13 and 14 with high stereoselectivity. Only the cis-isomer 14 could be further transformed to 3-(bromomethyl)-2-(tosylamino)-4-pentenoate 17 , and in a smoth cyclization with K₂CO₃, to trans-3-vinylazetidtene-2-carboxylaze 18 (Scheme 2). In the second approach, the 3-ethylidene isomer 19 of 18 was obtained more directly by a [2+2] cycloaddition, together with the two isomers 23 and 24 , from methlallene 20 and (tosyliminno)acetate 21 (Scheme 3). The main product of this reaction was, however, 2-(tosylamino)-4-hexinoate 22 , the product of an ene reaction.
