Di‐tert‐butyldiphosphatetrahedran: Katalytische Synthese des freien Phosphaalkin‐Dimers

Die Tetrahedrane sind eine bisher nur wenig entwickelte Verbindungsklasse und insbesondere ist mit AsP₃ bisher nur ein einziges neutrales, heteroatomares Tetrahedran bekannt. Hier berichten wir über die Synthese eines neutralen, molekularen X₂Y₂‐Tetraeders (X, Y=p‐Blockelemente), der gleichzeitig das erste Beispiel des seit langem postulierten freien Phosphaalkindimers ist. Di‐tert‐butyldiphosphatetrahedran, (tBuCP)₂, lässt sich aus dem Monomer tBuCP in einer nickelkatalysierten Dimerisierungsreaktion unter Verwendung von [(NHC)Ni(CO)₃] (NHC=1,3‐Bis(2,4,6‐trimethylphenyl)imidazolin‐2‐yliden (IMes) bzw. 1,3‐Bis(2,6‐diisopropylphenyl)imidazolin‐2‐yliden (IPr)) als Katalysator darstellen. Die Einkristallröntgenstrukturanalyse eines Silber(I)‐komplexes bestätigt die tetraedrische Struktur. Der Einfluss des N‐heterocyclischen Carbenliganden auf die katalytische Reaktion wird diskutiert und auf Basis von synthetischen, kinetischen und quantenmechanischen Untersuchungen wird ein möglicher Bildungsmechanismus vorgestellt.     

Metal‐Free CN‐ and NN‐Bond Formation: Synthesis of 1,2,3‐Triazoles from Ketones,N‐Tosylhydrazines,and Amines in One Pot

A novel synthetic approach toward 1,4‐disubstituted 1,2,3‐triazoles by C?N‐ and N?N‐bond formation has been established under transition‐metal‐free conditions. Complete control of the regioselectivity was successfully achieved. Commercially available anilines, ketones, and N‐tosylhydrazine were treated with molecular iodine in one pot to allow the regioselective generation of 1,4‐disubstituted 1,2,3‐triazoles in high yields without the use of azides.     

P−P Condensation and P−N/P−P Bond Metathesis: Facile Synthesis of Cationic Tri‐ and Tetraphosphanes

[L_C^RP((PhP)₂C₂H₄)][OTf] ( 4 a,b [OTf]) and [L_C^iPrP(PPh₂)₂][OTf] ( 5 b [OTf]) were prepared from the reaction of imidazoliumyl‐substituted dipyrazolylphosphane triflate salts [L_C^RP(pyr)₂][OTf] ( 3 a,b [OTf]; a : R=Me, b =iPr; L_C^R=1,3‐dialkyl‐4,5‐dimethylimidazol‐2‐yl; pyr=3,5‐dimethylpyrazol‐1‐yl) with the secondary phosphanes PhP(H)C₂H₄P(H)Ph) and Ph₂PH. A stepwise double P?N/P?P bond metathesis to catena‐tetraphosphane‐2,3‐diium triflate salt [(Ph₂P)₂(L_C^MeP)₂][OTf]₂ ( 7 a [OTf]₂) is observed when reacting 3 a [OTf] with diphosphane P₂Ph₄. The coordination ability of 5 b [OTf] was probed with selected coinage metal salts [Cu(CH₃CN)₄]OTf, AgOTf and AuCl(tht) (tht=tetrahydrothiophene). For AuCl(tht), the helical complex [{(Ph₂PPL_C^iPr)Au}₄][OTf]₄ ( 9 [OTf]₄) was unexpectedly formed as a result of a chloride‐induced P?P bond cleavage. The weakly coordinating triflate anion enables the formation of the expected copper(I) and silver(I) complexes [( 5 b )M(CH₃CN)₃][OTf]₂ (M=Cu, Ag) ( 10 [OTf]₂, 11 [OTf]₂).     

Splitting a Substrate into Three Parts: Gold‐Catalyzed Nitrogenation of Alkynes by CC and CC Bond Cleavage

A gold‐catalyzed nitrogenation of alkynes for the synthesis of carbamides and amino tetrazoles through C? C and C?C bond cleavages is described. A diverse set of functionalized carbamide and amino tetrazole derivatives were selectively constructed under mild conditions. The chemoselectivity can be easily switched by the selection of the acid additives. The reaction is characterized by its broad substrate scope, direct construction of high value products, easy operation under air, and mild conditions at room temperature. This chemistry provides a way to transform alkynes by splitting the substrate into three parts.     

氰化物与吡咯复合物氢键强度的理论研究

The R-C≡N…pyrrole (R=H, CH3, CH2F, CHF2, CF3, NH2, BH2, OH, F, CH2Cl, CHCl2, CCl3, Li, Na) complexes were considered as the simple sample for measure of hydrogen bonding strength. Density functional theory B3LYP/6-311 G^** level was applied to the optimization of geometries of complexes and monomers. Measure of hydrogen bonding strength based on geometrical and topological parameters, which were derived from the AIM theory, was analyzed. Additionally, natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis and frequency calculations were performed.From the computation results it was found that the electronic density at N-H bond critical points was also strictly correlated with the hydrogen bonding strength.     

Rhodium(III)‐Catalyzed CC and CO Coupling of Quinoline N‐Oxides with Alkynes: Combination of CH Activation with O‐Atom Transfer

[Cp*Rh^III]‐catalyzed C? H activation of arenes assisted by an oxidizing N? O or N? N directing group has allowed the construction of a number of hetercycles. In contrast, a polar N? O bond is well‐known to undergo O‐atom transfer (OAT) to alkynes. Despite the liability of N? O bonds in both C? H activation and OAT, these two important areas evolved separately. In this report, [Cp*Rh^III] catalysts integrate both areas in an efficient redox‐neutral coupling of quinoline N‐oxides with alkynes to afford α‐(8‐quinolyl)acetophenones. In this process the N? O bond acts as both a directing group for C? H activation and as an O‐atom donor.     

Palladium‐Catalyzed Enantioselective CH Arylation for the Synthesis of P‐Stereogenic Compounds

A palladium‐catalyzed enantioselective C? H arylation of N‐(o‐bromoaryl)‐diarylphosphinic amides is described for the synthesis of phosphorus compounds bearing a P‐stereogenic center. The method provides good enantioselectivities and high yields. The products were readily transformed into P‐chiral biphenyl monophosphine ligands.     

Lewis Acid Mediated Tandem Reaction of Propargylic Alcohols to Tetrazoles Involving CO‐ and CC‐Bond Cleavage Reactions and a CN‐Bond Formation

A novel and direct synthesis of 1‐aryl‐5‐arylvinyl‐tetrazoles from easily prepared propargylic alcohols and TMSN₃ is developed in the presence of TMSCl under mild conditions (TMS=trimethylsilyl). The process involves an allenylazide intermediate, followed by a C?C‐bond cleavage and C?N‐bond formation to afford the desired products. Moreover, this method offers a good functional‐group applicability and can be scaled‐up to grams (yield up to 85 %).
