A Selective RhI‐Catalyzed Substrate‐Controlled C−C Bond Activation of Benzyl Sulfonamide/Alcohol‐Tethered Alkylidenecyclopropanes

Benzyl sulfonamide/alcohol‐tethered alkylidenecyclopropanes undergo a rhodium‐catalyzed and substrate‐controlled selective C?C bond activation, producing three types of common organic structural units: benzo[c]azepine/oxepines, dihydronaphthalen‐1‐amines, and conjugated dienes. Epoxidation and aromatization of these products to construct two useful compounds have also been achieved.     

Enzymatic ring-opening copolymerization of trimethylene carbonate and ethylene ethyl phosphate

A growing interest in biodegradable polymers and their biomedical and pharmaceutical applications has developed since the past decade. Ring-opening polymerization has been regarded as an efficient route for the synthesis of the biodegradable polymers, such as polyester, polycar- bonates and polyphosphates[1—6]. However, chemical methods for the ring-opening polymerization of biodegradable polymers need extremely pure monomers and anhydrous conditions as well as metallic catalysts, which must …     

Spectral and Mechanistic Studies of the Reactions of Substituted 1,5-Benzothiazepine with Dichloroacetyl Chloride and Triethylamine

A lot of attentions have been paid to the synthesis of benzothiazepines and derivatives1,2 due to their significant physiological activities. It has been reported that b-lactam, a major part of the antibiotic skeleton, can be introduced to a molecule by reaction of an imine moiety with ketene3,4. We introduced a b-lactam skeleton to benzothiazepine and hoped the new compounds may possess certain biological activities. SHNH3ClCHCHCOC2H5OHSNClCla: ortho-Clb: para-Cl+PyridineScheme …

Synthesis of 2-bromo-1-aryl-1H-indenes via a Ag(I) promoted domino 2π-electrocyclic ring-opening/4π-electrocyclization reaction of 1,2-diaryl substituted gem-dibromocyclopropanes

2-Bromo-1-aryl substituted indenes can be synthesized from 1,2-diaryl substituted gem-dibromocyclopropanes via a domino reaction sequence. The cascade reaction involves silver(I) promoted ionization and 2π-disrotatory electrocyclic ring-opening, followed by a 4π-conrotatory electrocyclic ring closing reaction of the allylic carbocation intermediate. Reaction conditions utilize silver tetrafluoroborate (AgBF₄) in dichloroethane at 65 °C. Selectivity effects for the electrocyclization were also studied. The 2-bromoindenes can be further functionalized using cross-coupling reactions, such as the Suzuki–Miyaura protocol. The alkene π-bond of the indenes can also be isomerized to give the thermodynamically more stable 2-bromo-3-aryl-1H-indene isomers using triethylamine in dichloromethane at room temperature.     

Rare Earth Complex Initiated Ring-Opening Polymerization of 2,2-Dimethyltrimethylene Carbonate

Aliphatic polycarbonate is a series of useful biodegradable materials attracting more interests recently. Poly(2,2-dimethyltrimethylene carbonate) (polyDTC) has been studied for a long time. Polymerization of DTC can be catalyzed by alkyl metals1, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid and its esters2, alcohol/methylaluminum diphenolate system3 and etc. Herein tris(2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenoxo) lanthanides (Ln(OAr)3, Ln=La, Nd) are firstly applied to initiate the polymerization of DTC. Ln(O…
