Metalloporphyrins catalyze polyene-polymers to polyepoxides

Polyene polymers [natural rubber (cis-polyisoprene), trans-polyisoprene, and cis-polybutadiene] were transformed to the corresponding polyepoxides which are a polyalcohol and soap precursor. The catalysts used were chloro- or acetato-manganese^(III) tetraphenylporphyrin [Mn^III(TPP)Cl or Mn^III(TPP)OAc] in association with two different oxygen donors, sodium hypochloride and iodosylbenzene (Por, unspecified porphyrinato ligand; TPP, 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinato ligand). This transformation in either biphasic system, H₂O(aqua)-CH₂Cl₂ or PhIO(solid)-CH₂Cl₂, was monitored by ¹H-NMR and IR spectroscopy. In both cases the transformation to the polyepoxide was completed within a few hours. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Ring-opening reaction of methylenecyclopropanes with LiCl, LiBr or NaI in acetic acid

The methylenecyclopropanes 1 react with LiCl, LiBr or NaI at 80 °C to give the corresponding gem-disubstituted homoallylic halides 2 in good to excellent yields in acetic acid. In some cases, the ring-opening reaction can be completed within 5 min to give the corresponding gem-disubstituted homoallylic halides in high yields.     

Synthetic studies on 3-arylquinazolin-4-ones: intramolecular nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction of 2-carboxamido-3-arylquinazolin-4-ones and its application to the synthesis of secondary aryl amines

The general synthesis and a novel intramolecular nucleophilic aromatic substitution (S_NAr) reaction of 2-carboxamido-3-arylquinazolin-4-ones, a potentially useful scaffold in the field of medicinal chemistry, are described. The synthetic utility of the S_NAr reaction as a tool for the synthesis of secondary aryl amines, including diaryl amines, is also demonstrated.     

2-[6-Alkyl-3-hetaryl-4-oxo-9,10-dihydro-4H,8H-chromeno-[8,7-<Emphasis Type="Italic">e</Emphasis>][1,3]oxazin-9-yl]acetic acids

The interaction has been studied of a series of substituted 3-hetaryl-7-hydroxychromones with amino acids and formaldehyde (reactants ratio 1: 1: 2 respectively). In the case of glycine and Het = 3-isoxazolyl the product of aminomethylation at position 8 of the chromone was obtained, and with other Het (including Het = 4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl) 2-[6-alkyl-3-hetaryl-4-oxo-9,10-dihydro-4H,8H-chromeno[8,7-e][1,3]-oxazin-9-yl]acetic acids were formed. With β-alanine and Het = 4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl the corresponding β-substituted propionic acid was synthesized, but proline did not participate in the reaction, leading to bis(6-ethyl-3-hetaryl-7-hydroxychromon-8-yl)methane. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 683–689, May, 2007.     

Thermochemistry of rare earth complexes [Ln(Ala)2(Im)(H2O)](ClO4)3 (Ln=Pr, Gd)

The two complexes, [Ln(Ala)₂(Im)(H₂O)](ClO₄)₃ (Ln=Pr, Gd), were synthesized and characterized. Using a solution-reaction isoperibol calorimeter, standard enthalpies of reaction of two reactions: LnCl₃⋅6H₂O(s)+2Ala(s)+Im(s)+3NaClO₄(s)=[Ln(Ala)₂(Im)(H₂O)](ClO₄)₃(s)+3NaCl(s)+5H₂O(l) (Ln=Pr, Gd), at T=298.15 K, were determined to be (39.26±0.10) and (5.33±0.12) kJ mol^–1 , respectively. Standard enthalpies of formation of the two complexes at T=298.15 K, Δ_fH^Θ_m {[Ln(Ala)₂(Im)(H₂O)](ClO₄)₃(s)} (Ln=Pr, Gd), were calculated as –(2424.2±3.3) and –(2443.4±3.3) kJ mol^–1 , respectively.     

A convenient and efficient preparation of β-substituted α-haloenones from diazodicarbonyl compounds

Rhodium(II)-catalyzed reactions of cyclic diazodicarbonyl compounds with a variety of halides have been examined. With acid halides, β-acyloxy α-haloenones are produced in good yields. With benzyl halides, β-benzyloxy α-haloenones are obtained in good yields. Reactions with methylene halides yield β-halomethoxy α-haloenones in good yields, whereas reactions with ethyl halides and ethylene dihalides result in β-hydroxy α-haloenones in high yields. These reactions provide a useful and rapid entry to β-substituted α-haloenones. The mechanistic pathway for the formation of these products has been also described in terms of halonium ylides.
