REACTIONS OF XENON DIFLUORIDE WITH ORGANO-SULPHUR MOLECULES

Abstract

Xenon difluoride readily reacts with various organo-sulphur compounds. In general, three types of products were isolated, the course of the reactions depending on the structure of the organo-sulphur substrate. Alkyl-phenyl substituted sulphides, 3,3-dibromothiochroman-4-one and thiochroman-4-ol reacted to form α-fluoro substituted products, 2,5-diphenyltetrahydrothiopyran-4-one, thiochroman-4-one and 3-bromothiochroman-4-one formed dehydrogenated products, while diphenyl-sulphide, dibenzothiophene and 10-thioxanthenone reacted to form sulphoxide and sulphone. The reaction mechanism and the reaction pathways, which are shown on the Scheme, will be discussed.

CN Bond Cleavage and Ring Expansion of N-Heterocyclic Carbenes using Hydrosilanes

Ring expansion of NHCs! The reaction of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) with hydrosilanes Ph(4-n) SiH(n) (n=1, 2, 3) results in complete rupture of the heterocycle and silylene insertion into one of the C?N bonds of the carbene (see scheme; R=alkyl, aryl).     

Darstellung und Sulfurierung von 4,5-Benzo-2-{[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]methyl-amino}-3-methyl-1,3,2-oxazaphosphorinan-6-on; Molekülstruktur eines Tetracarbonylmolybdän(0)-Chelatkomplexes

4,5-Benzo-2-{[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]methylamino}-3-methyl-1,3,2-oxazaphosphorinan-6-one – Preparation, Sulfuration, and Molecular Structure of a Tetracarbonyl Molybdenum Derivative The synthesis of the title compound 4 is described. It reacts with sulfur to yield the thiophosphoryl derivative 5 . The structure of the molybdenum(0) complex 6 , containing 4 as a bidentate ligand, was established by X-ray analysis and is compared to that of the related 2-{[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]methyl-amino}-1,3,2-benzodioxaphosphole-tetracarbonylchromium(0)-complex 7 [1]. 6 , similarly to 7 , shows a nearly rectangular ?bite”? angle, with 4 functioning as a chelating ligand, coordinating to Mo(0) via P(III) and the nitrogen atom of the NMe₂ group. The heterocyclic part of the ligand displays a distorted envelope configuration.     

Palladium complexes of N-heterocyclic carbenes as catalysts for cross-coupling reactions--a synthetic chemist's perspective

Palladium-catalyzed C-C and C-N bond-forming reactions are among the most versatile and powerful synthetic methods. For the last 15 years, N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have enjoyed increasing popularity as ligands in Pd-mediated cross-coupling and related transformations because of their superior performance compared to the more traditional tertiary phosphanes. The strong sigma-electron-donating ability of NHCs renders oxidative insertion even in challenging substrates facile, while their steric bulk and particular topology is responsible for fast reductive elimination. The strong Pd-NHC bonds contribute to the high stability of the active species, even at low ligand/Pd ratios and high temperatures. With a number of commercially available, stable, user-friendly, and powerful NHC-Pd precatalysts, the goal of a universal cross-coupling catalyst is within reach. This Review discusses the basics of Pd-NHC chemistry to understand the peculiarities of these catalysts and then gives a critical discussion on their application in C-C and C-N cross-coupling as well as carbopalladation reactions.     

15N chemical shifts of a series of isatin oxime ethers and their corresponding nitrone isomers

In this article, we describe the characteristic ¹⁵N chemical shifts of isatin oxime ethers and their isomer nitrone. These oxime ethers and nitrones are the alkylation reaction products of isatin oximes. In our study, the ¹⁵N chemical shifts observed in these oxime ethers were in the 402–408 (or 22–28) ppm range, although those for their corresponding nitrone series were in the 280–320 (or ?100 to ?60) ppm range. This remarkable difference in ¹⁵N NMR chemical shift values could potentially be used to determine the O‐ versus N‐alkylation of oximes, even when only one isomer is available. In this paper, the differences in ¹⁵N NMR chemical shifts serve as the basis for a discussion about how to distinguish both regioisomers derived from the oximes alkylation.

Synthesis and reactivity of rare earth metal alkyl complexes stabilized by anilido phosphinimine and amino phosphine ligands

Anilido phosphinimino ancillary ligand H(2)L(1) reacted with one equivalent of rare earth metal trialkyl [Ln{CH(2)Si(CH(3))(3)}(3)(thf)(2)] (Ln=Y, Lu) to afford rare earth metal monoalkyl complexes [L(1)LnCH(2)Si(CH(3))(3)(THF)] (1 a: Ln=Y; 1 b: Ln=Lu). In this process, deprotonation of H(2)L(1) by one metal alkyl species was followed by intramolecular C--H activation of the phenyl group of the phosphine moiety to generate dianionic species L(1) with release of two equivalnts of tetramethylsilane. Ligand L(1) coordinates to Ln(3+) ions in a rare C,N,N tridentate mode. Complex l a reacted readily with two equivalents of 2,6-diisopropylaniline to give the corresponding bis-amido complex [(HL(1))LnY(NHC(6)H(3)iPr(2)-2,6)(2)] (2) selectively, that is, the C--H activation of the phenyl group is reversible. When 1 a was exposed to moisture, the hydrolyzed dimeric complex [{(HL(1))Y(OH)}(2)](OH)(2) (3) was isolated. Treatment of [Ln{CH(2)Si(CH(3))(3)}(3)(thf)(2)] with amino phosphine ligands HL(2-R) gave stable rare earth metal bis-alkyl complexes [(L(2-R))Ln{CH(2)Si(CH(3))(3)}(2)(thf)] (4 a: Ln=Y, R=Me; 4 b: Ln=Lu, R=Me; 4 c: Ln=Y, R=iPr; 4 d: Ln=Y, R=iPr) in high yields. No proton abstraction from the ligand was observed. Amination of 4 a and 4 c with 2,6-diisopropylaniline afforded the bis-amido counterparts [(L(2-R))Y(NHC(6)H(3)iPr(2)-2,6)(2)(thf)] (5 a: R=Me; 5 b: R=iPr). Complexes 1 a,b and 4 a-d initiated the ring-opening polymerization of d,l-lactide with high activity to give atactic polylactides.     

Photoinduced Electron Transfer between N,N, Nr,N' ‐Tetra‐(p‐methylphenyl)‐4, 4‐diamino‐1, 1'‐diphenyl Ether (TPDAE) and Fullerenes (C60/C70) by Laser Flash Photolysis

The photoinduced electron‐transfer reaction of N, N, N', N'‐tetra‐(p‐methylphenyl)‐4,4'‐diamino‐1,1'‐diphenyl ether (TPDAE) and fullerenes (C₆₀/C₇₀) by nanosecond laser flash photolysis occurred in benzonitrile. Transient absorption spectral measurements were carried out during 532 nm laser flash photolysis of a mixture of the fullerenes (C₆₀/C₇₀) and TPDAE. The electron transfer from the TPDAE to excited triplet state of the fullerenes (C₆₀/C₇₀) quantum yields and rate constants of electron transfer from TPDAE to excited triplet state of fullerenes (C₆₀/C₇₀) in benzonitrile have been evaluated by observing the transient absorption bands in the near‐IR region where the excited triplet state, radical anion of fullerenes (C₆₀/C₇₀) and radical cations of TPDAE are expected to appear.     

MM3 parameterization for the B?N dative bond

A number of compounds that contain the B? N dative bond have been found to exhibit intriguing physiological activities. Although there is no proven mechanism for this activity, one hypothesis is that some form of borane transfer reaction occurs. In this scenario, the B? N dative bond within the small molecule, putative pharmacore breaks, and the borane forms a new dative bond with a Lewis base site on some critical protein. For this hypothesis to be investigated further from a computational perspective, an improved MM3 parameter set for tetravalent B? tetravalent N bonds has been developed and is reported here. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Abstract

The flow injection analysis of benzoyl peroxide using N,N,N,N-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPDA, also known as Wurster's reagent) and a solvent system including the surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and cerium(IV) as a catalyst at pH 6.0 at 612 nm was investigated. The method was applied to the analysis of acne cream and flour. The study included a 26-metal-ion search for other possible methods of catalysis and a buffer study of SDS and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB).     

Application of unsymmetrical indirect covariance NMR methods to the computation of the (13)C <--> (15)N HSQC-IMPEACH and (13)C <--> (15)N HMBC-IMPEACH correlation spectra

Utilization of long-range (1)H--(15)N heteronuclear chemical shift correlation has continually grown in importance since the first applications were reported in 1995. More recently, indirect covariance NMR methods have been introduced followed by the development of unsymmetrical indirect covariance processing methods. The latter technique has been shown to allow the calculation of hyphenated 2D NMR data matrices from more readily acquired nonhyphenated 2D NMR spectra. We recently reported the use of unsymmetrical indirect covariance processing to combine (1)H--(13)C GHSQC and (1)H--(15)N GHMBC long-range spectra to yield a (13)C--(15)N HSQC-HMBC chemical shift correlation spectrum that could not be acquired in a reasonable period of time without resorting to (15)N-labeled molecules. We now report the unsymmetrical indirect covariance processing of (1)H--(13)C GHMBC and (1)H--(15)N IMPEACH spectra to afford a (13)C--(15)N HMBC-IMPEACH spectrum that has the potential to span as many as six to eight bonds. Correlations for carbon resonances long-range coupled to a protonated carbon in the (1)H--(13)C HMBC spectrum are transferred via the long-range (1)H--(15)N coupling pathway in the (1)H--(15)N IMPEACH spectrum to afford a much broader range of correlation possibilities in the (13)C--(15)N HMBC-IMPEACH correlation spectrum. The indole alkaloid vincamine is used as a model compound to illustrate the application of the method.     

Characterization of two series of nitrogen-containing dendrimers by natural abundance 15N NMR

Two series of small generation dendrimers built with phosphorus atoms at each branching point and various types of nitrogen atoms at natural abundance of (15)N within the branches are characterized by a gradient enhanced GHNMQC (gradient hydrogen-nitrogen multiple quantum coherence) (1)H-(15)N NMR technique. The first series contains two types of nitrogen atoms, included in phosphorhydrazone linkages (CH=NNMe-P(S)), whereas the second series contains four types of nitrogen atoms included in azobenzene linkages (Ar-N=N-Ar') in addition to the phosphorhydrazone. The influence of the trans/cis isomerization of the azo bond on the (15)N NMR has also been studied. Despite the low solubility of the azobenzene-containing dendrimers, which renders the detection of some signals difficult, (15)N NMR appears as a very sensitive tool to detect chemical changes in the dendritic structure.     

Facile synthesis of heat‐resistant and photoluminescent poly(N‐aryleneindole ether)s via catalyst‐free C?N/C?O coupling reaction

We present here a novel programmable polymerization route for the synthesis of new indole‐based polymers via a catalyst‐free nucleophilic substitution reaction. The polycondensation of 4‐hydroxyindole with different activated difluoro monomers undergoes in N‐methylpyrrolidinone, affording soluble poly(N‐aryleneindole ether)s (PEINs) with high molecular weights (M_w up to 486,000) in high yields (up to 96%). The structures of the polymers are characterized by means of FT‐IR, ¹H NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis, the results show good agreement with the proposed structures. The resulting polymers are processable and enjoy high glass transition temperatures (T_gs > 180 °C) and thermal stability (T_ds > 420 °C). Thin films of PEINs show great mechanical behaviors with high tensile strength up to 104 Mpa, and good optical transparency. In addition, due to the indole moieties in the main chains, all these PEINs are endowed with significantly strong photonic luminescence in chloroform and display highly solvent‐dependent emission bands. Especially, the polymer PEIN‐3 carrying sulfonyl units, shows outstanding blue‐light emission with high quantum yields (45.2%, determined against quinine sulfate). The results obtained by cyclic voltammetry suggest that PEINs possess good electroactivity. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym. Chem. 2014 , 52, 313–320

Abstract

The EPR spectrum of N, N'-bis-(acetylacetone)ethylenediimino Cu(II), [Cu-en(acac)₂], and N, N'-bis-(1,1,1-trifluoroacetylacetone)ethylenediimino-Cu(II), [Cu-en(tfacac)₂], have been studied in doped single crystals of the corresponding Ni(II) chelate. The parameters in the usual doublet spin-Hamiltonian are found to be: Cu[en(acac)₂], g_z =2.183 ± 0.003, g_x =2.047 ± 0.004, g_y =2.048 ± 0.004, A_z =204.8 × 10^?4cm^?1, A_x =31.5 × 10^?4cm^?1, A_y =27.1 × 10^?4 cm^?1, A_zN= 12.8 × 10^?4 cm^?1 and A_xN =A_yN =14.3 × 10^?4 cm^?1: Cu[en(tfacac)₂], g_z =2.192 ± 0.002, g_x =2.048 ± 0.004, g_y =2.046 ± 0.004, A_z =200.8 × 10^?4 cm^?1, A_x =31.1 × 10^?4 cm^?1, A_y =28.3 × 10^?4 cm^?1, A_zN =12.8 × 10^?4 cm^?1 and A_xN =A_yN =14.6 × 10^?4 cm^?1. These parameters are related to coefficients in the molecular orbitals of the complex. It is found that the α-bonding is quite covalent and there is significant in-plane σ-bonding. From the nitrogen hyperfine structure it is determined that the hybridization on the nitrogen is sp².
