Synthesis of Chiral Cyclohexenones from α-Campholenic,Fencholenic, and β-Campholenic Derivatives

Summary. Optically active dimethylcyclohexenones, potential building blocks for enantioselective syntheses of various naturally active substances, were prepared. These compounds were obtained by oxidation with KMnO₄/Pb(OAc)₄ or ozonolysis of the corresponding cyclopentenic precursors, followed by aldol condensation. During the course of the preparation intermediate diols and chiral polyfunctional carbonyl derivatives were separated and identified analytically.     

N溴代丁二酰亚胺氧化醇反应的热动力学研究

氧化反应是有机化学中的一种重要反应类型,也是有机化学、化学工程和生物学家们研究的重点之一.但因其机理复杂,至今未见到用热动力学理论探索氧化反应体系的报道. N溴代丁二酰亚胺(NBS)是良好的溴化试剂,在不同反应条件下,它既可和不饱和键发生加成反应,也可在水溶液中作为次溴酸的来源,还可作为有效的氧化剂和脱氢剂.Reich和Reichstein首先报道了用N溴代乙酰亚胺将仲醇缓慢氧化为酮,Fieser等人报道了NBS的氧化作用.本文用RD-1型热导式自动量热计研究了35℃下NBS氧化异丙醇及环己醇2个反应体系,计算了反应速率常数,对反应的动力学及其机理提出了较合理的解释.     

Propylene oxidation by palladium nitro and nitrato complexes: in situ NMR and IR studies

The mechanism of the propylene oxidation by Pd(NO_n)Cl_2 − m(CH₃CN)₂ complexes (n = 2, 3; m = 0, 1, 2) in chloroform solutions has been studied by ¹H NMR and IR spectroscopy. The main reaction products are acetone and 2-nitropropylene, with their ratio depending on the equilibrium existing in the reaction solutions between palladium complexes containing NO_n ligands bonded to a palladium atom via either an oxygen or a nitrogen atom. Reactivities of the oxygen bonded nitrato and nitrito complexes are significantly higher than that of the nitrogen bonded nitro complex. Various new organopalladium intermediates have been observed and monitored in situ. A reversible insertion of the coordinated propylene into the Pd-O or Pd-N bonds results in nitrato-, nitrito- and nitropalladation intermediates, which then decompose via a β-hydrogen elimination. Two isomers of the nitritopalladation intermediate have been detected, i.e., a palladium metallacycle and an open ring complex, with the latter being much more reactive towards the β-hydrogen elimination than the former. The decomposition of the nitrato- and nitritopalladation intermediates results in the organometallic precursor of acetone, i.e., an acetonylpalladium complex, and then in acetone itself. On the other hand, the nitropalladation intermediate originates 2-nitropropylene. In the presence of dioxygen, which re-oxidizes the nitrosyl groups, the acetone formation becomes a catalytic reaction with respect to both palladium and nitrogen.     

Facile oxidative conversion of alcohols to esters using molecular iodine

Easy, inexpensive and effective oxidative iodination of deactivated arenes in sulfuric acid

Two ‘model’ deactivated arenes, benzoic acid and nitrobenzene, were effectively monoiodinated within 1 h at 25-30 °C, with strongly electrophilic I⁺ reagents, prior prepared from diiodine and various oxidants (CrO₃, KMnO₄, active MnO₂, HIO₃, NaIO₃, or NaIO₄) in 90% (v/v) concd sulfuric acid (ca. 75 mol% H₂SO₄). Next, an I₂/NaIO₃/90% (v/v) concd H₂SO₄ exemplary system was used to effectively mono- or diiodinate a number of deactivated arenes. All former papers dealing with the direct iodination of deactivated arenes are briefly reviewed.     

Pt/HM和Pd/HM催化剂表面氧的恢复与供出活化能测定

催化氧化是最重要的工业催化反应之一。七十年代以来,关于氧化催化剂的基础研究取得了长足的进步,采用各种手段对氧化催化剂的表面及体相氧种进行了考察。本文作者根据研究实用氧化催化剂的经验,结合控制论方法,亦提出了多相催化氧化反应的集团结构适应性规律。近年来,作者用TPD和吸附平衡法研究了V_2O_5/SiO_2催化剂表面氧的种类、数目和供出活性,较好地关联了催化氧化的一些事实,使以上规律更趋于半定量化。在多相氧化反应中,催化剂表面活性氧不断处于供出和恢复的循环之中,催化剂表面氧中心的供     

Nucleoside 5′-C-phosphonates: reactivity of the α-hydroxyphosphonate moiety

We found that various dialkyl phosphites, dialkyl trimethylsilyl phosphites, and tris-trimethylsilyl phosphite reacted smoothly with nucleoside 5′-aldehydes to afford epimeric nucleoside 5′-C-phosphonates in high yields. A number of these compounds in both the 2′-deoxyribo and ribo series were prepared. In the case of 2′-deoxythymidine-5′-aldehyde, a thorough study was made on the influence of the 3′-hydroxyl protecting group, type of phosphite, base, and solvent, on the yield and epimeric ratio of the resulting 5′-hydroxyphosphonates. Partial stereoselectivity in favour of either R or S epimers was observed. An attempt to transform the α-hydroxyl of the phosphonate moiety into a halo or azido moiety was not successful. Only intramolecular substitution reaction of the mesyloxy group for an alkoxy residue of the 2-hydroxyethyl ester took place in a low yield.

A mild and efficient method for the oxidation of benzylic alcohols by two-phase electrolysis

Electrochemical oxidation of benzylic and substituted benzylic alcohols by two-phase electrolysis yields the corresponding aldehydes as products. The reaction was carried out in a single compartment cell with platinum electrodes at room temperature in chloroform using an aqueous sodium bromide solution (25%) containing a catalytic amount of HBr. The two-phase electrolysis resulted in high yields (74-96%) of benzaldehyde from primary alcohols and secondary alcohols were oxidized to the corresponding ketone but only in low yields under these conditions.
