Easy One‐Pot Synthesis of 1‐Monosubstituted Aliphatic 1,2,3‐Triazoles from Aliphatic Halides,Sodium Azide and Propiolic Acid by a Click Cycloaddition/Decarboxylation Process

1‐Monosubstituted aliphatic 1,2,3‐triazoles were synthesized by a one‐pot reaction from aliphatic halides (Cl and Br), sodium azide and propiolic acid. The yields ranged from moderate to good. The reaction was easily carried out in DMF with Cs₂CO₃ at 100°C by copper‐catalyzed click cycloaddition/decarboxylation.

Microwave‐Promoted Acid‐Catalyzed Rearrangement of Morphinans—A High‐Yield Synthesis of R(−)‐Apomorphine

The microwave‐promoted acid‐catalyzed rearrangement of morphine (1), codeine (2), and thebaine (3) was investigated. In all cases, a significant improvement in the yields were achieved compared to the traditional techniques. R(‐)‐Apomorphine (4), which is a clinically important dopamine agonist, was synthesized from morphine (1) in 75% yield.     

Synthesis of Trichlorophenol Derivatives

An expedient three‐step procedure for the synthesis of trichlorophenol derivatives based on the acid‐catalyzed rearrangement of the bicyclic ketone precursors 6a–e in high overall yield is described. The bicyclic ketone precursors 6a–e were obtained from Diels–Alder cycloadducts of β‐substituted vinyl acetates with tetrachloro‐5,5‐dimethoxycyclopentadiene in two steps.     

Theoretical studies of cobalt(I)‐catalyzed hydroacylation of vinylsilanes and alkyl aldehydes

Density functional theory (DFT) was used to investigate computationally cobalt(I)‐catalyzed hydroacylation of vinylsilanes and alkyl aldehydes to give ketones. Calculation indicated that cobalt(I)‐catalyzed hydroacylation had eight possible reaction pathways. In the cobalt‐hydride complexes IM2a and IM2b, the hydrogen migration occurred prior to the carbon–carbon bond‐forming reaction. In the complexes IM3a1 and IM3b1, the carbonyl elimination reaction occurred prior to the direct reductive elimination reaction. In the cobalt–carbonyl complexes IM4a and IM4b, the carbonyl insertion reaction was much easier to achieve than the decarbonylation reaction. The dominant reaction pathway was the reaction channel IM1a → TS1a → IM2a → TS2a1 → IM3a1 → TS4a → IM4a → TS5a → IM5a → TS6a → IM6a, and the reductive elimination reaction was the rate‐determining step for this channel, so the dominant product predicted theoretically was the linear ketone. Furthermore, the solvation effect was remarkable, and it decreased generally the free energies of the species. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Copper‐Catalyzed Aerobic Oxidative Transformation of Ketone‐Derived N‐Tosyl Hydrazones: An Entry to Alkynes

A novel strategy involving Cu‐catalyzed oxidative transformation of ketone‐derived hydrazone moiety to various synthetic valuable internal alkynes and diynes has been developed. This method features inexpensive metal catalyst, green oxidant, good functional group tolerance, high regioselectivity and readily available starting materials. Oxidative deprotonation reactions were carried out to form internal alkynes and symmetrical diynes. Cross‐coupling reactions of hydrazones with halides and terminal alkynes were performed to afford functionalized alkynes and unsymmetrical conjugated diynes. A mechanism proceeding through a Cu‐carbene intermediate is proposed for the C? C triple bond formation.

A Molecular-Wide and Electron Density-Based Approach in Exploring Chemical Reactivity and Explicit Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) Solvent Molecule Effects in the Proline Catalyzed Aldol Reaction

Modelling of the proline (1) catalyzed aldol reaction (with acetone 2) in the presence of an explicit molecule of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (3) has showed that 3 is a major player in the aldol reaction as it plays a double role. Through strong interactions with 1 and acetone 2, it leads to a significant increase of energy barriers at transition states (TS) for the lowest energy conformer 1a of proline. Just the opposite holds for the higher energy conformer 1b. Both the ‘inhibitor’ and ‘catalyst’ mode of activity of DMSO eliminates 1a as a catalyst at the very beginning of the process and promotes the chemical reactivity, hence catalytic ability of 1b. Modelling using a Molecular-Wide and Electron Density-based concept of Chemical Bonding (MOWED-CB) and the Reaction Energy Profile–Fragment Attributed Molecular System Energy Change (REP-FAMSEC) protocol has shown that, due to strong intermolecular interactions, the HN-C-COOH (of 1), CO (of 2), and SO (of 3) fragments drive a chemical change throughout the catalytic reaction. We strongly advocate exploring the pre-organization of molecules from initially formed complexes, through local minima to the best structures suited for a catalytic process. In this regard, a unique combination of MOWED-CB with REP-FAMSEC provides an invaluable insight on the potential success of a catalytic process, or reaction mechanism in general. The protocol reported herein is suitable for explaining classical reaction energy profiles computed for many synthetic processes.
