Electronic effect on the regioselectivity in the ring opening of para-substituted phenyloxiranes by acetylides

The electronic effect on the regioselectivity in the alkynylation of phenyloxiranes was investigated using three kinds of metal acetylides. BF₃ mediated lithium acetylide provided either the α- or β-alkynylated products by controlling the effect of the para-substituents of the phenyloxiranes. LiClO₄ mediated lithium acetylide and titanium acetylide, on the other hand, afforded predominantly the β- and α-products, respectively.

Facile Conversion of Epoxides to Thiiranes with Ammonium Thiocyanate Catalyzed with Oxalic Acid

Epoxids are efficiently converted to the corresponding thiiranes by ammonium thiocyanate (NH 4 SCN) in the presence of catalytic amounts of oxalic acid with excellent isolated yields under mild and nonaqueous reaction conditions. This conversion performed under both conventional heating and microwave conditions. Distinct rate enhancement is observed under microwave irradiation.

Formation of 1,2-dioxolanes using Mn(III)-based reaction of various arylacetylenes with 2,4-pentanedione and related reaction

The manganese(III)-based aerobic oxidation of arylacetylenes with 2,4-pentanedione at ambient temperature unexpectedly gave the 1,2-dioxolane derivatives in moderate yields together with a small amount of the oxiranes. The 1,2-dioxolanes underwent silica gel-assisted contraction to quantitatively give the oxiranes. The reaction pathway for the formation of the 1,2-dioxolanes and the by-product was discussed.

Synthesis of 2,6-disubstituted morpholines through regioselective oxiranes ring opening by tosylamide under PTC conditions

Symmetric and non-symmetric 2,6-disubstituted morpholines were synthesized through regioselective nucleophilic ring opening of oxiranes with tosylamide under solid-liquid phase transfer catalysis (SL-PTC) conditions followed by cyclization of the tosylamido diols thus obtained and final deprotection of the corresponding N-tosyl morpholines. The morpholines prepared are interesting building blocks in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.     

Local orbital study of bonding in small rings: Cyclopropane,thiirane, oxirane,and aziridine

The nature of the bonding in the three-membered ring molecules cyclopropane, thiirane, oxirane, and aziridine has been investigated throughab initio FSGO calculations. The direct correspondence between floating spherical Gaussian orbitals and specific chemical bonds has been used to study the degree of “bond bending”. In accord with chemical intuition, it is demonstrated that the C-C ring bond becomes progressively more bent as the bond length is reduced. C-C bonds are found to be more flexible than C-N (O, S) bonds. The sizes and locations of carbon-heteroatom bond orbitals and C-H bond orbitals are also discussed.     

Oxirane synthesis from diazocarbonyl compounds via NHC-Ag catalysis

A new method was developed to synthesize oxirane products from the reaction of diazocarbonyl substrates with aryl aldehydes by using Ag(I) N-heterocyclic carbene complex as the catalyst. A combination of N-heterocyclic carbene silver complex (IPrAgCl) with another silver salt (AgOTf) generated the catalytic active IPr-Ag⁺ intermediate, which then catalyzed the epoxidation reaction.
