The first palladium-catalyzed ring-expansion reaction of 2-vinylpyrrolidines with aryl isocyanates to form seven-membered ring heterocycles is described. This regioselective reaction requires 5 mol % of Pd(2)(dba)(3).CHCl(3) and 10 mol % of dppp at 40-60 degrees C in THF and results in the formation of 1,3-diazepin-2-ones in good isolated yields. When Pd(OAc)(2) and PPh(3) were utilized in the reaction, an intramolecular hydrogen migration occurs resulting in the formation of conjugated diene derivatives of urea. 相似文献

Highly regioselective Heck couplings of aryl triflates with N-acyl-N-vinylamines lacking an N-alkyl substituent were achieved with reaction times of approximately 1 h in yields ranging from 62 to 98% using 1.5 mol % of Pd(2)(dba)(3), 3 mol % of DPPF, and diethylisopropylamine in dioxane. The efficiency of these cross-couplings were studied with several N-vinylamides and an example each of an N-vinylcarbamate and an N-vinylurea. The Heck coupling products easily underwent acidic hydrolysis to the corresponding aryl methyl ketone or in situ hydrogenation in the presence of (Ph(3)P)(3)RhCl under a hydrogen atmosphere to provide the N-acyl derivatives of pharmaceutically relevant benzylic amines. The coupling of a vinyl triflate and more interestingly a vinyl tosylate to N-vinyl acetamide was also studied affording a 2-acylamino-1,3-butadiene with the same high regioselectivity in preference for the alpha-isomer. This result suggests that Heck couplings of electron-rich alkenes with vinyl tosylates also follow a cationic pathway. 相似文献

Significant levels of enantioselectivity were obtained in 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of 2-benzopyrylium-4-olate generated from the Rh(2)(OAc)(4)-catalyzed decomposition of o-methoxycarbonyl-alpha-diazoacetophenone. This reaction utilized chiral 2,6-bis(oxazolinyl)pyridine (Pybox)--rare earth metal triflate complexes as chiral Lewis acid catalysts. The reactions with several benzyloxyacetaldehyde derivatives catalyzed by a Sc(III)--Pybox-i-Pr complex (10 mol %) proceeded smoothly to yield endo-adducts selectively with high enantioselectivity (up to 93% ee). For the reaction with benzyl pyruvate, the Sc(III)-Pybox-i-Pr complex (10 mol %) catalyzed the reaction effectively in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid (10 mol %) to yield an exo-adduct with both high diastereo- and enantioselectivity (94% ee). This catalytic system was efficiently applied to the reactions with several other alpha-keto esters with high exo- and enantioselectivities (up to 95% ee). In contrast to the reaction with carbonyl compounds, Yb(III)--Pybox-Ph complex (10 mol %) was found to be effective to obtain high enantioselectivity (96% ee) of diastereoselectively produced exo-cycloadduct in the reaction with 3-acryloyl-2-oxazolidinone. 相似文献

A series of iron(III) complexes of the tetradentate ligand BPMEN (N,N'-dimethyl-N,N'-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine) were prepared and structurally characterized. Complex [Fe(2)(mu-O)(mu-OH)(BPMEN)(2)](ClO(4))(3) (1) contains a (mu-oxo)(mu-hydroxo)diiron(III) diamond core. Complex [Fe(BPMEN)(urea)(OEt)](ClO(4))(2) (2) is a rare example of a mononuclear non-heme iron(III) alkoxide complex. Complexes [Fe(2)(mu-O)(mu-OC(NH(2))NH)(BPMEN)(2)](ClO(4))(3) (3) and [Fe(2)(mu-O)(mu-OC(NHMe)NH)(BPMEN)(2)](ClO(4))(3) (4) feature N,O-bridging deprotonated urea ligands. The kinetics and equilibrium of the reactions of 1 with ligands L (L = water, urea, 1-methylurea, 1,1-dimethylurea, 1,3-dimethylurea, 1,1,3,3-tetramethylurea, and acetamide) in acetonitrile solutions were studied by stopped-flow UV-vis spectrophotometry, NMR, and mass spectrometry. All these ligands react with 1 in a rapid equilibrium, opening the four-membered Fe(III)(mu-O)(mu-OH)Fe(III) core and forming intermediates with a (HO)Fe(III)(mu-O)Fe(III)(L) core. The entropy and enthalpy for urea binding through oxygen are DeltaH degrees = -25 kJ mol(-1) and DeltaS degrees = -53.4 J mol(-1) K(-1) with an equilibrium constant of K(1) = 37 L mol(-1) at 25 degrees C. Addition of methyl groups on one of the urea nitrogen did not affect this reaction, but the addition of methyl groups on both nitrogens considerably decreased the value of K(1). An opening of the hydroxo bridge in the diamond core complex [Fe(2)(mu-O)(mu-OH)(BPMEN)(2)] is a rapid associative process, with activation enthalpy of about 60 kJ mol(-1) and activation entropies ranging from -25 to -43 J mol(-1) K(-1). For the incoming ligands with the -CONH(2) functionality (urea, 1-methylurea, 1,1-dimethylurea, and acetamide), a second, slow step occurs, leading to the formation of stable N,O-coordinated amidate diiron(III) species such as 3 and 4. The rate of this ring-closure reaction is controlled by the steric bulk of the incoming ligand and by the acidity of the amide group. 相似文献

Nitrosothiols are powerful vasodilators. Although the mechanism of their formation near neutral pH is an area of intense research, neither the energetics nor the kinetics of this reaction or of subsequent reactions have been addressed. The following considerations may help to guide experiments. (1) The standard Gibbs energy for the homolysis reaction RSNO → RS(?) + NO(?)(aq) is +110 ± 5 kJ mol(-1). (2) The electrode potential of the RSNO, H(+)/RSH, NO(?)(aq) couple is -0.20 ± 0.06 V at pH 7. (3) Thiol nitrosation by NO(2)(-) is favorable by 37 ± 5 kJ mol(-1) at pH 7. (4) N(2)O(3) is not involved in in vivo nitrosation mechanisms for thermodynamic--its formation from NO(2)(-) costs 59 kJ mol(-1)--or kinetic--the reaction being second-order in NO(2)(-)--reasons. (5) Hemoglobin (Hb) cannot catalyze formation of N(2)O(3), be it via the intermediacy of the reaction of Hb[FeNO(2)](2+) with NO(?) (+81 kJ mol(-1)) or reaction of Hb[FeNO](3+) with NO(2)(-) (+88 kJ mol(-1)). (6) Energetically and kinetically viable are nitrosations that involve HNO(2) or NO(?) in the presence of an electron acceptor with an electrode potential higher than -0.20 V. These considerations are derived from existing thermochemical and kinetics data. 相似文献

The condensation reaction of resorcinol with cis-[ClP(μ-N(t)Bu)(2)PN(H)(t)Bu] produced a difunctional derivative 1,3-C(6)H(4)[OP(μ-N(t)Bu)(2)PN(H)(t)Bu](2) (1), whereas the similar reaction with [ClP(μ-N(t)Bu)](2) resulted in the formation of a 1:1 mixture of dimeric and tetrameric species, [{P(μ-N(t)Bu)}(2){1,3-(O)(2)-C(6)H(4)}](2) (2a) and [{P(μ-N(t)Bu)}(2){1,3-(O)(2)-C(6)H(4)}](4) (2b), which were separated by repeated fractional crystallization and column chromatography. The reaction of dimer 2a with H(2)O(2) and selenium produces tetrachalcogenides [{(O)P(μ-N(t)Bu)}(2){1,3-(O)(2)-C(6)H(4)}](2) (3) and [{(Se)P(μ-N(t)Bu)}(2){1,3-(O)(2)-C(6)H(4)}](2) (4), respectively. The reaction between the dimer (2a) and [Pd(μ-Cl)(η(3)-C(3)H(5))](2) or AuCl(SMe(2)) yielded the corresponding tetranuclear complexes, [{((Cl)(η(3)-C(3)H(5))Pd)P(μ-N(t)Bu)}(2){1,3-(O)(2)-C(6)H(4)}](2) (5) and [{(ClAu)P(μ-N(t)Bu)}(2){1,3-(O)(2)-C(6)H(4)}](2) (6) in good yield. The complexes 5 and 6 are the rare examples of phosphorus macrocycles containing two or more exocyclic transition metal fragments. Treatment of 1 with copper halides in 1:1 molar ratio resulted in the formation of one-dimensional (1D) coordination polymers, [(CuX){1,3-C(6)H(4){OP(μ-N(t)Bu)(2)PN(H)(t)Bu}}(2)](n) (7, X = Cl; 8, X = Br; 9, X = I), which showed the helical structure in solid state because of intramolecular hydrogen bonding, whereas similar reactions of 1 with 4 equiv of copper halides also produced 1D-coordination polymers, [(Cu(2)X(2))(2){1,3-C(6)H(4){OP(μ-N(t)Bu)(2)PN(H)(t)Bu}(2)}](n) (10, X = Cl; 11, X = Br; 12, X = I), but containing Cu(2)X(2) rhomboids instead of CuX linkers. The crystal structures of 1, 2a, 2b, 4, 7-9, and 12 were established by X-ray diffraction studies. 相似文献

Reactions of the diphosphine 1,3-C6H4(CH2PH2)2 and fluorous alkenes H2C=CHR(fn)(R(fn)=(CF2)(n-1)CF3; n = 6, 8) at 75 degrees C in the presence of AIBN give the title ligands 1,3-C6H4(CH2P(CH2CH2R(fn))2)2(3-R(fn)) and byproducts 1,3-C6H4(CH3)(CH2P(CH2CH2R(fn))2)(4-R(fn)) in 1 : 3 to 1 : 5 ratios. Workups give -R(fn) in 4--17% yields. Similar results are obtained photochemically. Reaction of 1,3-C6H4(CH2Br)2 and HP(CH2CH2R(f8))2 (5) at 80 degrees C (neat, 1 : 2 mol ratio) gives instead of simple substitution the metacyclophane [1,3-C6H4(CH2P(CH2CH2R(f8))2 CH2-1,3-C(6)H(4)CH(2)P[lower bond 1 end](CH2CH2R(f8))2C[upper bond 1 end]H2](2+)2Br-, which upon treatment with LiAlH(4) yields 3-R(f8)(20%), 4-R(f8), and other products. Efforts to better access 3-R(f8), either by altering stoichiometry or using various combinations of the phosphine borane (H3B)PH(CH2CH2R(f8))2 and base, are unsuccessful. Reactions of 3-R(fn) with Pd(O2CCF3)2 and [IrCl(COE)2]2(COE=cyclooctene) give the palladium and iridium pincer complexes (2,6,1-C6H3(CH2 P(CH2CH2R(fn))(2)(2)Pd(O2CCF3)(10-R(fn); 80-90%) and (2,6,1-C6H3(CH2P(CH2CH2R(f8))2)2)Ir(Cl)(H)(11-R(f8); 29%), which exhibit CF3C6F(11)/toluene partition coefficients of >96 : <4. The crystal structure of 10-R(f8) shows CH2CH2R(f8) groups with all-anti conformations that extend in parallel above and below the palladium square plane to create fluorous lattice domains. NMR monitoring shows a precursor to 11-R(f8) that is believed to be a COE adduct. 相似文献

Theoretical calculations (B3LYP/6-311+G(3df,2p)//B3LYP/6-31G) of the 1,3 migration of NR(2) transforming alpha-oxoketenimines 1 to alpha-imidoylketenes 3 and vice versa indicate that this process is a pseudo-pericyclic reaction with a low activation energy (NH(2) 97 kJ mol(-1), N(CH3)(2) 62 kJ mol(-1)). The oxoketenimines were found to be more stable (by 18-35 kJ mol(-1)) which is in line with experimental observations. The hindered amine rotation in the amide and amidine moieties adjacent to the cumulenes are important in the migration of the NR(2) group, as one of the rotation transition states is close to the 1,3 migration pathway. This gives an interesting potential energy surface with a valley-ridge inflection (VRI) between the orthogonal hindered amine rotation and 1,3 migration transition states. The imidoylketene may also undergo ring closure to an azetinone 5; however, this is metastable, and under the conditions that allow the 1,3-migration, the oxoketenimine 1 will be favored. The imine NH E/Z-interconversion of the ketenimine group takes place by inversion and has a low activation barrier ( approximately 40 kJ mol(-1)). In all the amidines examined the E/Z-interconversion of the imine function was predicted to be by rotation with a high barrier (>80 kJ mol(-1)), in contrast to all other reported imine E/Z-interconversions which are by inversion. 相似文献

The addition of 2 equiv of N,N',N' '-triisopropylguanidine (guanH(2)) to Zr(CH(2)Ph)(4) produced the bis(guanidinato)bis(benzyl)zirconium complex [((i)PrNH)C(N(i)Pr)(2)](2)Zr(CH(2)Ph)(2) (1). The mono(guanidinato) complex [((i)PrN)(2)C(NH(i)Pr)]ZrCl(3) (2) was accessible by the reaction of 2 equiv of guanH(2) with ZrCl(4). Guanidinium hydrochloride, [C(NH(i)Pr)(3)]Cl, is a byproduct of this reaction. When crystallized from THF, complex 2 was isolated as the THF adduct [((i)PrNH)C(N(i)Pr)(2)]ZrCl(3)(THF) (2-THF). The mixed cyclopentadienyl guanidinato complex [eta(5)-1,3-(Me(3)Si)(2)C(5)H(3)][((i)PrNH)C(N(i)Pr)(2)]ZrCl(2) (3) was prepared by treatment of [1,3-(Me(3)Si)(2)C(5)H(3)]ZrCl(3) with the in situ generated lithium triisopropylguanidinate salt. The reaction of guanH(2) with [1,3-(Me(3)Si)(2)C(5)H(3)]ZrMe(3) affords the dimethyl derivative [eta(5)-1,3-(Me(3)Si)(2)C(5)H(3)][((i)PrNH)C(N(i)Pr)(2)]ZrMe(2) (4). Definitive evidence for the molecular structures of these products is provided through single-crystal X-ray characterization of 1, 2-THF, and 3, which are presented. The extent of pi delocalization within the guanidinato ligand is discussed in the context of the metrical parameters obtained from these structural studies. 相似文献

High-level ab initio molecular orbital calculations, using the G2(MP2,SVP) theory (and semiempirical methods) have been used to examine several 1,3- and 1,5-chlorine migrations. It is found that the interaction of chlorine lone pair electrons with a low-lying LUMO accelerates the Cl shift dramatically (lone pair-LUMO-mediated pericyclic reaction). The activation barriers for the 1,3-migration in chloro oxo ketene 1 (Cl(C=O)CH=C=O) and the 1,5-migration in (2-(chlorocarbonyl)vinyl)ketene 2 (Cl(C=O)CH=CHCH=C=O) are only 53 and 61 kJ mol(-)(1), respectively, compared to the 216 and 173 kJ mol(-)(1) barriers for the corresponding unassisted 1,3- and 1,5-sigmatropic shifts of Cl in 3-chloro-1-propene and 5-chloro-1,3-pentadiene. The transition structures for 1 and 2 reveal that migration of the chlorine atoms takes place in the molecular planes. The 1,5-chlorine shift in 6-chlorocyclohexa-2,4-dienone (3) has a significantly higher barrier due to a lack of appropriate orbital interaction. The related 1,3-shift in the (chlorocarbonyl)imine-alpha-chloro isocyanate system is also dramatically accelerated compared with conventional pericyclic 1,3-Cl migration. 相似文献

[chemical reaction: see text]. Highly regioselective Heck couplings of alpha,beta-unsaturated tosylate and mesylate derivatives with N-acyl N-vinylamines and vinyl ethers were achieved. Several 2-alkoxy-1,3-dienes and 2-acylamino-1,3-butadienes were synthesized in good yields using 1.5 mol % of Pd2(dba)3, 3 mol % of DPPF, and diisopropylethylamine in dioxane. When working with alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones and esters, this method provides a less costly alternative to similar couplings using a triflate electrophile. 相似文献

The reaction of acetylated alpha-allenic alcohols with LiBr in the presence of 1.5 mol % of Pd(OAc)(2) provides easy access to substituted (Z,E)-2-bromo-1,3-dienes in good yields with excellent diastereoselectivity. Both secondary and tertiary acetates as well as terminal and nonterminal allenes were studied to investigate the scope and the limitations of the reaction. A mechanism is proposed to clarify how a diastereomeric mixture of the starting compound is transformed into a single diastereomer of the product. 相似文献

The intramolecular 1,3-chirality transfer reaction of chiral amino alcohols 1 with 99% ee was developed to construct chiral 1-substituted tetrahydroisoquinoline 2. Bi(OTf)(3) (10 mol %)-catalyzed cyclization of 1 (R = H) afforded (S)-1-(E)-propenyl tetrahydroisoquinoline 2 (R = H) in 83% yield with a ratio of 98:2. The stereochemistry at the newly formed chiral center was produced by a syn S(N)2'-type process. In this reaction, the substituent on the benzene ring of 1 significantly affected the reactivities and selectivities. A plausible reaction mechanism was proposed. 相似文献

A Bi(OTf)(3)/Cu(CH(3)CN)(4)PF(6) system efficiently promoted intermolecular 1:1 hydroamination of 1,3-dienes with various carbamates, sulfonamides, and carboxamides to afford allylic amines in good yield (up to 96%). Reaction proceeded with 0.5-10 mol % catalyst loading at 25-100 degrees C (generally at 50 degrees C) in 1,4-dioxane within 24 h. The Bi(OTf)(3)/Cu(CH(3)CN)(4)PF(6) system constitutes a new entry into series of intermolecular hydroamination catalysis. Mechanistic studies and the postulated reaction mechanism are also discussed. 相似文献

We report experimental evidence for the formation of C(5)-hydroperoxyaldehydes (HPALDs) from 1,6-H-shift isomerizations in peroxy radicals formed from the hydroxyl radical (OH) oxidation of 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene (isoprene). At 295 K, the isomerization rate of isoprene peroxy radicals (ISO2?) relative to the rate of reaction of ISO2? + HO2 is k(isom)(295)/(k(ISO2?+HO2)(295)) = (1.2 ± 0.6) x 10(8) mol cm(-3), or k(isom)(295) ? 0.002 s(-1). The temperature dependence of this rate was determined through experiments conducted at 295, 310 and 318 K and is well described by k(isom)(T)/(k(ISO2?+HO2)(T)) = 2.0 x 10(21) exp(-9000/T) mol cm(-3). The overall uncertainty in the isomerization rate (relative to k(ISO2?+HO2)) is estimated to be 50%. Peroxy radicals from the oxidation of the fully deuterated isoprene analog isomerize at a rate ~15 times slower than non-deuterated isoprene. The fraction of isoprene peroxy radicals reacting by 1,6-H-shift isomerization is estimated to be 8-11% globally, with values up to 20% in tropical regions. 相似文献

The first catalytic asymmetric hetero-Diels-Alder reaction between 2-aza-3-silyloxy-1,3-butadienes and aldehydes is described. With dirhodium(II) tetrakis[N-benzene-fused-phthaloyl-(S)-piperidinonate], Rh(2)(S-BPTPI)(4), the cycloaddition reaction proceeded exclusively in an endo mode to give all-cis-substituted 1,3-oxazinan-4-ones in high yields with up to 98% ee. 相似文献

Quantum mechanical calculations using restricted and unrestricted B3LYP density functional theory, CASPT2, and CBS-QB3 methods for the dimerization of 1,3-cyclohexadiene (1) reveal several highly competitive concerted and stepwise reaction pathways leading to [4 + 2] and [2 + 2] cycloadducts, as well as a novel [6 + 4] ene product. The transition state for endo-[4 + 2] cycloaddition (endo-2TS, DeltaH(double dagger)(B3LYP(0K)) = 28.7 kcal/mol and DeltaH(double dagger)(CBS-QB3(0K)) = 19.0 kcal/mol) is not bis-pericyclic, leading to nondegenerate primary and secondary orbital interactions. However, the C(s) symmetric second-order saddle point on the B3LYP energy surface is only 0.3 kcal/mol above endo-2TS. The activation enthalpy for the concerted exo-[4 + 2] cycloaddition (exo-2TS, DeltaH(double dagger)(B3LYP(0K)) = 30.1 kcal/mol and DeltaH(double dagger)(CBS-QB3(0K)) = 21.1 kcal/mol) is 1.4 kcal/mol higher than that of the endo transition state. Stepwise pathways involving diallyl radicals are formed via two different C-C forming transition states (rac-5TS and meso-5TS) and are predicted to be competitive with the concerted cycloaddition. Transition states were located for cyclization from intermediate rac-5 leading to the endo-[4 + 2] (endo-2) and exo-[2 + 2] (anti-3) cycloadducts. Only the endo-[2 + 2] (syn-3) transition state was located for cyclization of intermediate meso-5. The novel [6 + 4] "concerted" ene transition state (threo-4TS, DeltaH(double dagger)(UB3LYP(0K)) = 28.3 kcal/mol) is found to be unstable with respect to an unrestricted calculation. This diradicaloid transition state closely resembles the cyclohexadiallyl radical rather than the linked cyclohexadienyl radical. Several [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement transition states were also located and have activation enthalpies between 27 and 31 kcal/mol. 相似文献

The synthesis of 1-alkenylboronic acid pinacol esters via a palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of bis(pinacolato)diboron (pin(2)B(2), pin = Me(4)C(2)O(2)) with 1-alkenyl halides or triflates was carried out in toluene at 50 degrees C in the presence of KOPh (1.5 equiv) and PdCl(2)(PPh(3))(2)-2Ph(3)P (3 mol %). The borylation of acyclic and cyclic 1-alkenyl bromides and triflates was achieved in high yields with complete retention of configuration of the double bonds. The method was applied to the one-pot synthesis of unsymmetrical 1,3-dienes via the borylation-coupling sequence. 相似文献

The palladium-catalyzed three-component coupling reaction (TCCR) of aryl isocyanides, allyl methyl carbonate, and trimethylsilyl azide was conducted in the presence of Pd(2)(dba)(3).CHCl(3) (2.5 mol %) and dppe (1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane) (10 mol %). Allyl aryl cyanamides with a wide variety of functional groups were obtained in excellent yields. This palladium-catalyzed TCCR was further utilized for the synthesis of N-cyanoindoles. The reaction of 2-alkynylisocyanobenzenes, allyl methyl carbonate, and trimethylsilyl azide in the presence of Pd(2)(dba)(3).CHCl(3) (2.5 mol %) and tri(2-furyl)phosphine (10 mol %) at higher temperatures afforded N-cyanoindoles in good to allowable yields. (eta(3)-Allyl)(eta(3)-cyanamido)palladium complex, an analogue of the bis-pi-allylpalladium complex, is a key intermediate in the TCCR, and a pi-allylpalladium mimic of the Curtius rearrangement is involved to generate the (eta(3)-allyl)(eta(3)-cyanamido)palladium intermediate. 相似文献

The oligodentate P,N ligand N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(diphenylphosphanyl)-1,3-diaminobenzene reacts with two equivalents of [{Rh(mu-Cl)(COD)}(2)], [NiBr(2)(DME)] or [PdCl(2)(NCMe)(2)](COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene, DME = dimethoxyethane) in dichloromethane to give the tetranuclear complex [1,3-{cis-Rh(COD)(mu-Cl)(2)Rh(PPh(2))(2)N}(2)C(6)H(4)](1) or the dinuclear complexes [1,3-{cis-NiBr(2)(PPh(2))(2)N}(2)C(6)H(4)](2) and [1,3-{cis-PdCl(2)(PPh(2))(2)N}(2)C(6)H(4)](3), respectively. Compounds 1-3 were characterised by NMR ((1)H, (13)C, (31)P) and IR spectroscopy. The molecular structure of 2 and 3 shows the formation of a bis-chelate complex with M-P-N-P four-membered rings (M = Pd, Ni). An N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(diphenylphosphanyl)-1,3-diaminobenzene/Pd(OAc)(2) mixture was used for the copolymerisation of carbon monoxide with ethene or ethylidenenorbornene. Compound 1 was employed as catalyst in the hydrogenation of styrene. 相似文献
