5C + 1S] annulation: a facile and efficient synthetic route toward functionalized 2,3-dihydrothiopyran-4-ones

[reaction: see text] A facile and efficient synthetic route toward highly substituted 2,3-dihydrothiopyran-4-ones 2 has been developed via a formal [5C + 1S] annulation of readily available alpha-alkenoyl ketene-(S,S)-acetals 1 with sodium sulfide nonahydrated salt (Na2S x 9H2O) and utilized in the synthesis of 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-6-(morpholin-4-yl)-4H-thiopyran-4-one 5l, an inhibitor of DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK).     

A new three‐dimensional neutral framework of lanthanum oxalate: [La2(C2O4)3(DMF)(H2O)3]n

In the title complex, poly[triaquabis(dimethylformamide)di‐μ₃‐oxalato‐μ₂‐oxalato‐dilanthanum(III)], [La₂(C₂O₄)₃(C₃H₇NO)(H₂O)₃]_n, both La ions are coordinated by nine O atoms, forming slightly distorted tricapped trigonal prisms. The two La ions, the terminal water O atom, and the O and N atoms of the dimethylformamide molecule reside on twofold rotation axes, giving the two La‐centered coordination geometries twofold or pseudo‐twofold symmetries. The two oxalate ligands, one of which rests on a center of inversion at the mid‐point of the C—C bond, adopt different bridging modes, connecting with the La ions to form two types of lanthanide oxalate chains, i.e. anionic {[La(C₂O₄)₂(DMF)(H₂O)₂]ⁿ⁻}_n (DMF is dimethylformamide) and cationic zigzag {[La(C₂O₄)(H₂O)]ⁿ⁺}_n, respectively. Each zigzag cationic chain is linked to four adjacent anionic chains via the bridging oxalate anions, and each anionic chain connects with four zigzag cationic chains, constructing a three‐dimensional neutral framework.     

Computational Insights into Different Mechanisms for Ag-, Cu-, and Pd-Catalyzed Cyclopropanation of Alkenes and Sulfonyl Hydrazones

The [2+1] cycloaddition reaction of a metal carbene with an alkene can produce important cyclopropane products for synthetic intermediates, materials, and pharmaceutical applications. However, this reaction is often accompanied by side reactions, such as coupling and self-coupling, so that the yield of the cyclopropanation product of non-silver transition-metal carbenes and hindered alkenes is generally lower than 50 %. To solve this problem, the addition of a low concentration of diazo compound (decomposition of sulfonyl hydrazones) to alkenes catalyzed by either CuOAc or PdCl₂ was studied, but side reactions could still not be avoided. Interestingly, however, the yield of cyclopropanation products for such hindered alkenes were as high as 99 % with AgOTf as a catalyst. To explain this unexpected phenomenon, reaction pathways have been computed for four different catalysts by using DFT. By combining the results of these calculations with those obtained experimentally, it can be concluded that the efficiency of the silver catalyst is due to the barrierless concerted cycloaddition step and the kinetic inhibition of side reactions by a high concentration of alkene.     

Silver(I)‐Catalyzed Hydroazidation of Ethynyl Carbinols: Synthesis of 2‐Azidoallyl Alcohols

The hydroazidation of alkynes is the most straightforward pathway to synthetically useful vinyl azides. However, a general hydroazidation of alkynes remains elusive. Herein, a chemo‐ and regioselective transformation of ethynyl carbinols into vinyl azides is described. This reaction produces a wide variety of 2‐azidoallyl alcohols with high efficiency and in good to excellent yields. These compounds constitute a new class of densely functionalized synthetic intermediates. Their synthetic potential has been demonstrated by further transformations into NH aziridines. The mechanistic aspects of the reaction will attract the attention of chemists working on alkyne chemistry and silver catalysis. The findings that are described in this paper represent significant advances in the regioselective hydroelementation of alkynes and open a new reaction manifold for exploitation.     

Silver‐Catalyzed Cross‐Coupling of Propargylic Alcohols with Isocyanides: An Atom‐Economical Synthesis of 2,3‐Allenamides

This new reaction is both atom and step efficient and is applicable to a broad scope of substrates, allowing the synthesis of a range of synthetically valuable 2,3‐allenamides in moderate to excellent yields.     

A new inorganic–organic hybrid compound constructed from polyoxoanions and rare earth coordination complexes

A new chainlike polymer, Na[Ce(dipic)(H₂O)₃]₂ [CrMo₆H₆O₂₄] · 13H₂O (H₂dipic = pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid) (1), has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis; IR and XPS spectroscopy, TG analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound (1) is built up of Anderon-type polyoxoanions as structural motifs and cerium–dipic coordination fragments as linkers to yield an unprecedented one-dimensional chain. Such chains are further in close contact forming a three-dimensional supramolecular framework with channels via extensive hydrogen-bonding interactions among polyoxoanions, dipic ligands and water molecules. Furthermore, the magnetic properties of compound (1) have been studied by measuring their magnetic susceptibility in the temperature range 2–300 K.
