Nucleophilic substitution in benzo-1,2,3,4-tetrazine 1,3-dioxides

Nucleophilic substitution in nitro- and bromobenzo-1,2,3,4-tetrazine 1,3-dioxides (BTDOs) was studied. In most cases, the bromo and nitro groups are replaced by methylamino, dimethylamino, azido, and methoxy groups without opening of the tetrazine ring. It was illustrated with the reactions of dibromo-BTDOs with sodium methoxide that the reactivity of positions 5 to 8 in their benzene ring as regards nucleophilic substitution changes in the following order: 6 > 8 > 7 > 5. The structures of the BTDOs obtained were confirmed by ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁴N NMR data.     

Comparison of triel bonds with different chalcogen electron donors: Its dependence on triel donor and methyl substitution

The complexes between R₃Tr (Tr = B, Al, and Ga; R = H, F, Cl, and Br) and H₂X (X = O, S, and Se) were theoretically studied. The interaction energies of R₃Al⋯H₂X and R₃Ga⋯H₂X are consistent with the electronegativity of the halogen atom R (R ≠ H), but an opposite dependence is found for R₃B⋯H₂X. The triel bond of R₃Tr⋯H₂X is weaker for the heavier chalcogen donor. The dependence of triel bonding strength on the triel atom is complicated, depending on the nature of R and X. The methyl substitution of H₂X causes a substantial increase in the interaction energy from −5.74 kcal/mol to −22.88 kcal/mol, and its effect is relevant to the nature of Tr, X, and R groups. For the S and Se donors, the increased percentage of interaction energy is almost the same due to the methyl substitution, which is larger than that of the O analogue. In most triel-bonded complexes, electrostatic dominates and polarization has comparable contribution. However, polarization plays a dominant role in R₃B⋯ and R₃B⋯ (R = Cl and Br; R′ = H and Me).     

Micellar effects of surfactants in cleavage of 4-nitro-phenyl diethyl phosphonate by hydroperoxide anion

We have studied the nucleophilicity of the hydroperoxide anion relative to 4-nitrophenyl diethyl phosphonate (NPDEPS) in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (water, 25 °C) while varying the acidity of the medium and the hydroperoxide anion concentration over a broad range. The increase in the reaction rate when the reaction is transferred to a micellar pseudophase is as high as ∼10-fold, which is explained by concentration effects. In CTAB micelles, as in water, the hydroperoxide ion is one of the most effective α-nucleophiles, and the size of the α-effect, characterized by the ratio of the second-order rate constants for reactions of HOO⁻ and OH⁻ anions with NPDEPS, remains practically constant and reaches a value of ∼50-fold. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i éksperimental’naya Khimiya, Vol. 42, No. 6, pp. 357–363, November–December, 2006.     

Addition of diazocyclopropane generatedin situ to vinyl bromide and chemical transformations of the resulting 5-bromospiro(1-pyrazoline-3,1′-cyclopropane)

The reaction of diazocyclopropane generatedin situ with vinyl bromide occurs as regioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to give 5-bromospiro(1-pyrazoline-3,1′-cyclopropane) in ∼60% yield. Reactions of the latter with nucleophilic reagents, which can occur both with retention and opening of the cyclopropane ring, were studied. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

A new and versatile Ugi/SNAr synthesis of fused 4,5-dihydrotetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoxalines

A combinatorial synthetic route yielding fused tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoxalines is described. The use of 2-fluorophenylisocyanide in the Ugi-tetrazole reaction (tetrazole-U-4CR) followed by a nucleophilic aromatic substitution (S_NAr) affords the tricylic tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoxaline moiety in good yields and with high diversity.     

Chiral Phosphino‐ and (Phosphinooxy)‐Substituted N‐Heterocyclic Carbene Ligands and Their Application in Iridium‐Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation

Enantiomerically pure iridium complexes with phosphino‐ and (phosphinooxy)‐substituted N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands were synthesized. Investigation of their electronic properties showed a similar trans influence of the phosphino (or phosphinooxy) and the NHC units. The complexes were tested in iridium‐catalyzed hydrogenation. While low conversions were observed with unfunctionalized olefins, the catalysts proved to be suitable for hydrogenation of the α,β‐unsaturated ester 20 , allylic alcohol 21 , and imine 22 . The enantioselectivities were, however, moderate.     

Application of the chiral base desymmetrisation of imides to the synthesis of the alkaloid jamtine and the antidepressant paroxetine

The synthesis of the alkaloid jamtine and the antidepressant paroxetine have been addressed by a strategy involving asymmetric desymmetrisation of prochiral imides by a chiral lithium amide base. A short reaction sequence, starting with a cyclohexane fused succinimide, led to the structures originally reported for the alkaloid jamtine and its derived N-oxide. The structures synthesised are shown not to correspond with those originally reported. A second sequence involves desymmetrisation of a 4-arylglutarimide, and provides a short enantioselective synthesis of the drug substance paroxetine.     

制备trans-Fe(CO)_3(PR_3)_2的新的取代过程

报道了用H_2Fe(CO)_4制备trans-Fe(CO)_3(PR_3)_2的新的羰基取代反应。在 过量质子存在下，H_2Fe(CO)_4中的羰基被活化，中心铁原子对膦的亲核进攻更为 敏感。在这种条件下H_2Fe(CO)_4与膦反应时，首先失去氢生成Fe(CO)_4(PR_3), Fe(CO)_4-(PR_3)再与第二个膦反应可高产率的得到trans-Fe(CO)_3(PR_3)_2。用 PPh_3与Fe(CO)_4(PPh_3)在过量质子存在下反应生成trans-Fe(CO)_3(PR_3)_2，证 实了上述过程。     

A versatile and practical synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes/bis(indolyl)glycoconjugates catalyzed by trichloro-1,3,5-triazine

A practical and efficient electrophilic substitution reaction of indoles with a variety of aldehydes was carried out using catalytic trichloro-1,3,5-triazine (10 mol %) in acetonitrile to furnish the corresponding bis(indolyl)methanes in excellent yields. Similarly, sugar derived aldehydes gave hitherto unknown bis(indolyl)glycoconjugates in very good yields.
