二聚体C2H4-nFn···LiH (n=0, 1, 2)中π锂键的性质和弱方向性

采用二级微扰理论(MP2)量子化学研究方法, 对C₂H_4-nF_n···LiH (n=0, 1, 2)二聚体的结构和π锂键性质进行了分析. 结果表明氟原子的取代改变了乙烯分子的π电子云形状, 从而使二聚体体系中的π锂键发生偏移、伸长和弯曲. 通过与类似的π氢键体系C₂H_4-nF_n···HF (n=0, 1, 2)比较, 发现π锂键在二级弱相互作用的影响下, 发生了明显的弯曲, 表现出弱的方向性. 在CCSD(T)/6-311++G(3df, 3pd)理论水平下, 二聚体的相互作用能强弱顺序为: 33.85 kJ·mol^-1 (C₂H₄-LiH)>27.32 kJ·mol^-1 (C₂H₃F-LiH)>21.34 kJ·mol^-1 (cis-C₂H₂F₂-LiH)>20.25 kJ·mol^-1 (g-C₂H₂F₂-LiH), 说明氟取代削减了乙烯分子与LiH之间的相互作用.     

辐照气氛对异丙氧基杯[4]冠-6辐解的影响

异丙氧基杯[4]冠-6(1,3-交替-25,27-二(2-丙氧基)杯[4]芳烃-26,28-冠-6, 简称BPC6)对高放废液中的放射性Cs离子具有很好的选择萃取性能, 然而在萃取过程中BPC6 会受到强辐射场辐照, 所以有必要研究其辐射稳定性. 本文应用气相色谱(GC)、傅里叶变换显微红外(Micro-FTIR)和核磁共振(NMR)谱等手段分析了BPC6 固体分别在O₂和N₂气氛下的γ辐照效应. 结果表明, 当剂量为1 MGy时, O₂气氛下BPC6 的辐解率明显高于N₂(分别约为10.4%和2.5%), 而且气体辐解产物也有很大差异, 在O₂气氛下主要为H₂、CH₄、CO和CO₂,而在N₂辐照气氛下还有C₂H₄、C₂H₆、C₃H₆和C₃H₈等产物. 通过综合分析气体与固体辐解产物, 我们提出BPC6在不同气氛下具有不同的辐解途径, 这将为BPC6 萃取体系的辐射效应研究提供新的方法与思路, 加深对其辐解机理的认识.     

Synthese und Kristallstruktur eines μ-Methylen-μ-hydrido-dialanats [R2Al(μ-CH2)(μ-H)AlR2]− (R = CH(SiMe3)2)

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a μ-Methylene-μ-hydrido-dialanate [R₂Al(μ-CH₂)(μ-H)AlR₂]^? (R = CH(SiMe₃)₂) tert-Butyl lithium reacts with the recently synthesized methylene bridged dialuminium compound [(Me₃Si)₂CH]₂Al? CH₂? Al[CH(SiMe₃)₂]₂ 2 in the presence of TMEDA under β-elimination; the thereby formed hydride anion is bound in a chelating manner by both unsaturated aluminium atoms forming a 3c–2e–Al? H? Al bond. The crystal structure of the product shows two independent molecules differing only slightly in bond lengths and angles, but significantly in conformation. While one of the Al₂CH heterocycles deviates little from planarity with a rough C₂ symmetry for the whole anion, the other one is folded with an angle of 21.1° and the arrangement of the substituents is best described by C_s symmetry.     

Pyridine‐Enhanced Head‐to‐Tail Dimerization of Terminal Alkynes by a Rhodium–N‐Heterocyclic‐Carbene Catalyst

A general regioselective rhodium‐catalyzed head‐to‐tail dimerization of terminal alkynes is presented. The presence of a pyridine ligand (py) in a Rh–N‐heterocyclic‐carbene (NHC) catalytic system not only dramatically switches the chemoselectivity from alkyne cyclotrimerization to dimerization but also enhances the catalytic activity. Several intermediates have been detected in the catalytic process, including the π‐alkyne‐coordinated Rh^I species [RhCl(NHC)(η²‐HC?CCH₂Ph)(py)] ( 3 ) and [RhCl(NHC){η²‐C(tBu)?C(E)CH?CHtBu}(py)] ( 4 ) and the Rh^III–hydride–alkynyl species [RhClH{? C?CSi(Me)₃}(IPr)(py)₂] ( 5 ). Computational DFT studies reveal an operational mechanism consisting of sequential alkyne C? H oxidative addition, alkyne insertion, and reductive elimination. A 2,1‐hydrometalation of the alkyne is the more favorable pathway in accordance with a head‐to‐tail selectivity.     

Rapid Access to 2,2′‐Bithiazole‐Based Copolymers via Sequential Palladium‐Catalyzed C–H/C–X and C–H/C–H Coupling Reactions

A rapid access to 2,2′‐bithiazole‐based copolymers has been developed on the basis of the sequential palladium‐catalyzed C H/C X and C H/C H coupling reactions. To assemble a “copolymer” through homopolymerization, a type of symmetric A‐B‐A‐type building block is designed as the monomer and prepared via the regioselective C5 H arylation of thiazole. A PdCl₂/CuCl‐cocatalyzed oxidative C H/C H homopolymerization has been established to afford the 2,2′‐bithiazole‐based copolymers with high M_n (up to 69400). The current protocol features atom‐ and step‐economy and exhibits a potential in the highly efficient construction of conjugated copolymers.

     

Functional‐Group‐Tolerant Catalytic Migratory Oxidative Coupling of Nitrones

A copper‐catalyzed migratory oxidative‐coupling reaction between nitrones and various ethers/amines exhibited high functional‐group tolerance. Even in aqueous media, the reaction proceeded efficiently. For practical use of this catalysis, a unique sequential Huisgen cycloaddition was demonstrated. Mechanistic investigations revealed that the reaction proceeded through oxidative catalytic activation of ethers/amines to afford iminium/oxonium intermediates by concurrent dual one‐electron abstractions by copper(II) and oxyl radicals.     

Post‐Modification of meso–meso‐Linked Porphyrin Arrays by Iridium and Rhodium Catalyses for Tuning of Energy Gap

Bifunctional‐Thiourea‐Catalyzed Diastereo‐ and Enantioselective Aza‐Henry Reaction

Bifunctional thiourea 1 a catalyzes aza‐Henry reaction of nitroalkanes with N‐Boc‐imines to give syn‐β‐nitroamines with good to high diastereo‐ and enantioselectivity. Apart from the catalyst, the reaction requires no additional reagents such as a Lewis acid or a Lewis base. The N‐protecting groups of the imines have a determining effect on the chirality of the products, that is, the reaction of N‐Boc‐imines gives R adducts as major products, whereas the same reaction of N‐phosphonoylimines furnishes the corresponding S adducts. Various types of nitroalkanes bearing aryl, alcohol, ether, and ester groups can be used as nucleophiles, providing access to a wide range of useful chiral building blocks in good yield and high enantiomeric excess. Synthetic versatility of the addition products is demonstrated by the transformation to chiral piperidine derivatives such as CP‐99,994.     

Heavy‐Atom Tunneling Calculations in Thirteen Organic Reactions: Tunneling Contributions are Substantial,and Bell's Formula Closely Approximates Multidimensional Tunneling at ≥250 K

Multidimensional tunneling calculations are carried out for 13 reactions, to test the scope of heavy‐atom tunneling in organic chemistry, and to check the accuracy of one‐dimensional tunneling models. The reactions include pericyclic, cycloaromatization, radical cyclization and ring opening, and S_N2. When compared at the temperatures that give the same effective rate constant of 3×10⁻⁵ s⁻¹, tunneling accounts for 25–95 % of the rate in 8 of the 13 reactions. Values of transmission coefficients predicted by Bell's formula, κ_Bell , agree well with multidimensional tunneling (canonical variational transition state theory with small curvature tunneling), κ_SCT. Mean unsigned deviations of κ_Bell vs. κ_SCT are 0.08, 0.04, 0.02 at 250, 300 and 400 K. This suggests that κ_Bell is a useful first choice for predicting transmission coefficients in heavy‐atom tunnelling.     

Aerobic and Electrochemical Oxidative Cross‐Dehydrogenative‐Coupling (CDC) Reaction in an Imidazolium‐Based Ionic Liquid

The ionic liquid 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [BMIm][BF₄] has demonstrated high efficiency when applied as a solvent in the oxidative nitro‐Mannich carbon? carbon bond formation. The copper‐catalyzed cross‐dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) between N‐phenyltetrahydroisoquinoline and nitromethane in [BMIm][BF₄] occurred with high yield under the described reaction conditions. Both the ionic liquid and copper catalyst were recycled nine times with almost no lost of activity. The electrochemical behavior of the tertiary amine substrate and β‐nitroamine product was investigated employing [BMIm][BF₄] as electrolyte solvent. The potentiostatic electrolysis in ionic liquid afforded the desired product with a high yield. This result and the cyclic voltammetric investigation provide a better understanding of the reaction mechanism, which involves radical and iminium cation intermediates.
