A convenient and practical heterogeneous palladium‐catalyzed carbonylative Suzuki coupling of aryl iodides with formic acid as carbon monoxide source

A practical heterogeneous palladium‐catalyzed carbonylative Suzuki coupling of aryl iodides with arylboronic acids under carbon monoxide gas‐free conditions has been developed using a bidentate phosphino‐functionalized magnetic nanoparticle‐immobilized palladium(II) complex as catalyst. Formic acid was utilized as the carbon monoxide source with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide as the activator, and a wide variety of biaryl ketones were generated in moderate to high yields. The new heterogeneous palladium catalyst can be prepared via a simple procedure and can easily be separated from a reaction mixture by simply applying an external magnet and recycled up to 10 times without any loss of activity.

Direct Oxidation of N‐Benzylamides to Aldehydes or Ketones by N‐Bromosuccinimide

A simple and efficient approach for the one‐pot transformation of N‐benzylamides to aldehydes or ketones under mild conditions was reported. All the 20 substrates gave moderate to excellent oxidative yields under the optimized conditions. Our study may provide a new approach for the one‐pot synthesis of aldehydes or ketones from the corresponding amides.

Preparation, characterization and thiol-thione tautomeric studies of 2-thiono-4-methyl-5-(2,2,2-trifluoro-1-trifluoromethylethyl)-1,3-thiazoline

The synthesis of a new trifluoromethyl 2-mercapto-1,3-thiadiazole derivative from 5,5,5-trifluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)-3-penten-2-one, its structural study in the solid state and in the liquid phase and the thiol-thione tautomeric equilibrium study of the title compound are reported. The crystalline structure shows short intermolecular FF contacts. Theoretical calculations using HF and DFT methods were performed. Vibrational spectra were calculated for both tautomers and compared with experimental data. The experimental and theoretical results can be interpreted in terms of the existence of a thione tautomer in the solid and in solution.

Synthesis and properties of bis(heteroazulen-3-yl)methyl cations and bis(heteroazulen-3-yl)ketones

The synthesis and properties of a novel type of bis(heteroazulen-3-yl)methyl cations, bis(2-oxo-2H-cyclohepta[b]furan-3-yl)methyl cation salt and nitrogen analogues, (9a-c·PF₆⁻) and (9a-c·BF₄⁻), as well as bis(heteroazulen-3-yl)ketones (12a-d) are studied. The synthetic method was based on a TFA-catalyzed electrophilic aromatic substitution on the heteroazulenes (6a-d) with paraformaldehyde to afford the corresponding disubstituted methane derivatives 7a-d, followed by oxidative hydrogen abstraction with DDQ, and subsequent exchange of the counter-anion by using aq. HPF₆ or aq. HBF₄. In addition, the reaction of 7a-d with 2.2 equiv. amounts of DDQ afforded carbonyl compounds 12a-d. The delocalization of the positive charge of 9a-c was evaluated by the ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectral data. The thermodynamic stability of cations 9a-c was evaluated to be in the order 9a<9b<9c on the basis of their reduction potentials measured by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and pK_R+ values (2.6-10.3) obtained spectrophotometrically. The reduction waves of cations 9a-c were irreversible, suggesting the dimerization of the radical species generated by one-electron reduction. This was demonstrated by the reduction of 9a·BF₄⁻ with Zn powder to give dimerized product 14a. In addition, the quenching of 9a·BF₄⁻ with MeOH/NaHCO₃ gives ether derivative 15a, which is proposed for the precursor for synthesizing tris(heteroazulene)-substituted methyl cations bearing two different heteroazulene-units.     

Fluoride-induced chemiluminescent decomposition of dioxetanes bearing a siloxyaryl moiety to produce an alkyl aryl ketone as an emitter

Tetrabutylammonium fluoride induces the decomposition of 1-tert-butyl-4,4-dimethyl-5-(3-siloxyphenyl)-2,6,7-trioxabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane (4a) in DMSO to form an oxyanion of aromatic ketone (14a) as an emitter with high singlet-chemiexcitation yield comparable with that for a chemically initiated electron exchange luminescence (CIEEL) active dioxetane producing an oxyanion of aromatic ester as an emitter. A 7-siloxynaphthalen-2-yl analog (4b) was found on similar treatment to emit light with the maximum wavelength the longest among CIEEL-active dioxetanes hitherto known.
