- The Pd3(dppm)3 (CO)2+ cluster: An efficient electrochemically assisted Lewis acid catalyst for the fluorination and alcoholysis of acyl chlorides
-
The dicationic palladium cluster Pd3(dppm)3-(CO)2+ (dppm = bis(diphenylphosphino)methane) reacts with acid chlorides RCOCl (R = n-C6H13, t-Bu, Ph) to afford quantitatively the chloride adduct Pd3(dppm)3(CO)(Cl)+ and the acyl cation RCO+ as the organic counterpart. The dicationic reactive cluster can be reformed by electrolyzing the chloride complex with a copper anode leaving CuCl as a byproduct. The combination of these two reactions provides an electrocatalytic way to form the acylium from the acid chloride. Indeed, in CH2Cl2, 0.2 M NBu4PF6, or NBu4BF4, the electrolysis of the acid chloride in the presence of a catalytic amount of the cluster (1%) gives in good yields the acid fluoride RCOF, arising from the coupling of the acylium with a F- issued from the fluorinated supporting electrolyte. Alternatively, in CH2Cl2 or 0.2 M NBu4ClO4, by operating with an alcohol R′OH as the nucleophile, the electrolysis gives the ester RC(O)OR′ as the only final product.

- Sulphonic Acid-induced Fragmentation of Dialkyl Acylphosphonates, Formation of Alkyl Carboxylates and Alkyl Sulphonates
-
Heating of dialkyl acylphosphonates with sulphonic acids under anhydrous conditions leads to the formation of alkyl sulphonates and alkyl carboxylates. 31P N.m.r. spectroscopy revealed that the reaction of equimolar amounts of dimethyl benzoylphosphonate (1) and toluene-p-sulphonic acid at room temperature gives dimethyl phosphonate (6) in 50percent yield.It is proposed that the by-product of this reaction, benzoic toluene-p-sulphonic anhydride (8), reacts with the excess of toluene-p-sulphonic acid, to yield toluene-p-sulphonic anhydride (9) and benzoic acid.Heating of these two compounds with dimethyl phosphonate was shown to yield methyl toluene-p-sulphonate and methyl benzoate, respectively.A postulated by-product of these reactions is phosphenous acid (HPO2).Quantum mechanical calculations by the MNDO/H method carried out on dimethyl benzoylphosphonate and its protonation products show that the preferred site of protonation of dimethyl benzoylphosphonate is the P=O oxygen, and that protonation at this site is followed by C-P bond breaking, with zero energy of activation, leading to dimethyl phosphite and benzoylium cation.

- Oxidation of Diols and Ethers by NaBrO3/NaHSO3 Reagent
-
NaBrO3 combined with NaHSO3 was found to be an excellent oxidizing reagent of alcohols, diols, and ethers under mild conditions. A variety of aliphatic and cyclic diols were selectively oxidized with satisfactory yields to the corresponding hydroxy ketones and/or diketones, which are difficult to selectively prepare due to a concomitant formation of cleaved products. For example, 2-hydroxycyclohexanone and 1,2-cyclohexanedione were selectively formed by allowing 1,2-cyclohexanediol to react with NaBrO3/NaHSO3 reagent in a selected solvent. On the other hand, an alkyl ether, such as dioctyl ether, reacted with NaBrO3/NaHSO3, in water at room temperature to give octyl octanoate in 82% yield. The same oxidation at higher temperature (60°C) produced the α-brominated ester, octyl 2-bromooctanoate, which is considered to be formed through an alkenyl alkyl ether as the intermediate. The treatment of 1-ethoxy-l-heptene with NaBrO3/NaHSO3 afforded ethyl 2-bromoheptanoate and 2-bromoheptanoic acid as the major products.

- Hydroalkoxycarbonylation of olefins in the presence of palladium phosphine complexes: High activity and regioselectivity
-
Several types of catalyst systems were examined in the olefin hydroalkoxycarbonylation reaction. The systems contained Pd(PPh 3)4, PdCl2(PPh3)2, or some other palladium compounds as a principal component. The second component (promoter) was p-toluenesulfonic acid or diphenyl(m-sulfophenyl)phosphine, which combines both the ligand and promoter functions. An important feature of these systems is their high activity in the hydroalkoxycarbonylation of ethylene and a high regioselectivity (83-100%) in the hydroalkoxycarbonylation of α-olefins with respect to linear products. Thus, it was unnecessary to introduce additional stabilizing ligands to augment the catalyst and promoter. The esters obtained can find application in the pharmaceutical industry and perfumery, as well as in other industries. Nauka/Interperiodica 2006.

Palladium catalysts, generated from Pd(OAc)2 and 2 equiv of N,N-dialkylbenzimidazolium iodide, are effective for the alkoxycarbonylation of olefins in high yields (>90%). Alkoxycarbonylation of 1-hexene in dimethylacetamide is achieved within 24 h at 110 C using 1 mol % catalyst, 1000 psi CO, and ethanol. Reactions can be prepared in air, without the need of an acid additive to produce ethyl 2-methylhexanoate and ethyl heptanoate in approximately a 2:1 ratio.

- Cloning and expression of a Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase oxidizing linear aliphatic ketones from Dietzia sp. D5
-
A Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase has been identified in the genome sequence of Dietzia sp. D5. Sequence similarity search revealed that the enzyme belongs to a group of BVMOs that are closely related to ethionamide monooxygenase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (EthA). The BVMO was expressed in E. coli BL21-CodonPlus(DE3)-RP and the best expression was achieved when the E. coli cells were cultivated in terrific broth (TB) at 15 °C and induced with 0.1 mM of IPTG. Since the purified enzyme did not show any measurable activity, the substrate scope of the BVMO has been determined using whole-cell and crude cell extract systems. The enzyme was most active towards linear aliphatic substrates. However, it has shown a moderate degree of conversion for cyclobutanone, 2-methylcyclohexanone, bicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-en-6-one, phenylacetone and thioanisole. There was no detectable conversion of ethionamide, cyclohexanone and acetophenone.

- Design, Synthesis, and Study of the Insecticidal Activity of Novel Steroidal 1,3,4-Oxadiazoles
-
A series of novel steroidal derivatives with a substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole structure was designed and synthesized, and the target compounds were evaluated for their insecticidal activity against five aphid species. Most of the tested compounds exhibited potent insecticidal activity against Eriosoma lanigerum (Hausmann), Myzus persicae, and Aphis citricola. Compounds 20g and 24g displayed the highest activity against E. lanigerum, showing LC50 values of 27.6 and 30.4 μg/mL, respectively. Ultrastructural changes in the midgut cells of E. lanigerum were detected by transmission electron microscopy, indicating that these steroidal oxazole derivatives might exert their insecticidal activity by destroying the mitochondria and nuclear membranes in insect midgut cells. Furthermore, a field trial showed that compound 20g exhibited effects similar to those of the positive controls chlorpyrifos and thiamethoxam against E. lanigerum, reaching a control rate of 89.5% at a dose of 200 μg/mL after 21 days. We also investigated the hydrolysis and metabolism of the target compounds in E. lanigerum by assaying the activities of three insecticide-detoxifying enzymes. Compound 20g at 50 μg/mL exhibited inhibitory action on carboxylesterase similar to the known inhibitor triphenyl phosphate. The above results demonstrate the potential of these steroidal oxazole derivatives to be developed as novel pesticides.

- Gold Complexes with ADAP Ligands: Effect of Bulkiness in Catalytic Carbene Transfer Reactions (ADAP = Alkoxydiaminophosphine)
-
A family of gold(I) complexes of composition AuCl(ADAP) (ADAP = alkoxydiaminophosphine) has been synthetized through a one-pot simple protocol in which the ADAP ligand is prepared in situ before reaction with the Au(I) source. Structural data demonstrate that these ADAP ligands exert a trans effect superior to those of phosphine or phosphite ligands. Evaluation of the buried volume (percentVBur) indicates a steric hindrance higher than those of several NHC, PR3, and P(OR3) ligands, in the context of AuCl(L) complexes. These complexes promote the catalytic transfer of a carbene group from ethyl diazoacetate to alkenes and alkanes. In the case of styrene, both the Csp2-H bonds and the Ca? C bond are functionalized, the relative ratio depending on the catalyst employed and correlating well with the percentVBur value. Data available allow proposing that these compounds display quite similar electronic properties but differ in steric properties, a variable that can be readily controlled upon modifying the alkoxy group at the ADAP ligand by simply replacing the starting alcohol employed in the synthesis.

- Alkoxydiaminophosphine Ligands as Surrogates of NHCs in Copper Catalysis
-
A family of phosphine ligands containing a five-membered ring similar to the popular N-heterocyclic carbene ligands and an alkoxy third substituent has been developed. These alkoxydiaminophosphine ligands (ADAP) can be generated in one pot and reacted with a copper(I) source leading to the high yield isolation of complexes [(ADAP)CuX]2 (X=Cl, Br). The dinuclear nature of these compounds has been established by means of X-ray studies and DOSY experiments. A screening of the catalytic properties of these complexes toward carbene-transfer reactions from diazocompounds to C?H bonds (alkane, arene), olefins or N?H bonds, as well as in CuAAC or nitrene transfer reactions have shown a performance at least similar, if not better, than their (NHC)CuCl analogues, opening a new window in copper catalysis with these readily tunable ADAP ligands.

- Transfer Hydrogenation of Alkenes Using Ethanol Catalyzed by a NCP Pincer Iridium Complex: Scope and Mechanism
-
The first general catalytic approach to effecting transfer hydrogenation (TH) of unactivated alkenes using ethanol as the hydrogen source is described. A new NCP-type pincer iridium complex (BQ-NCOP)IrHCl containing a rigid benzoquinoline backbone has been developed for efficient, mild TH of unactivated C-C multiple bonds with ethanol, forming ethyl acetate as the sole byproduct. A wide variety of alkenes, including multisubstituted alkyl alkenes, aryl alkenes, and heteroatom-substituted alkenes, as well as O- or N-containing heteroarenes and internal alkynes, are suitable substrates. Importantly, the (BQ-NCOP)Ir/EtOH system exhibits high chemoselectivity for alkene hydrogenation in the presence of reactive functional groups, such as ketones and carboxylic acids. Furthermore, the reaction with C2D5OD provides a convenient route to deuterium-labeled compounds. Detailed kinetic and mechanistic studies have revealed that monosubstituted alkenes (e.g., 1-octene, styrene) and multisubstituted alkenes (e.g., cyclooctene (COE)) exhibit fundamental mechanistic difference. The OH group of ethanol displays a normal kinetic isotope effect (KIE) in the reaction of styrene, but a substantial inverse KIE in the case of COE. The catalysis of styrene or 1-octene with relatively strong binding affinity to the Ir(I) center has (BQ-NCOP)IrI(alkene) adduct as an off-cycle catalyst resting state, and the rate law shows a positive order in EtOH, inverse first-order in styrene, and first-order in the catalyst. In contrast, the catalysis of COE has an off-cycle catalyst resting state of (BQ-NCOP)IrIII(H)[O(Et)···HO(Et)···HOEt] that features a six-membered iridacycle consisting of two hydrogen-bonds between one EtO ligand and two EtOH molecules, one of which is coordinated to the Ir(III) center. The rate law shows a negative order in EtOH, zeroth-order in COE, and first-order in the catalyst. The observed inverse KIE corresponds to an inverse equilibrium isotope effect for the pre-equilibrium formation of (BQ-NCOP)IrIII(H)(OEt) from the catalyst resting state via ethanol dissociation. Regardless of the substrate, ethanol dehydrogenation is the slow segment of the catalytic cycle, while alkene hydrogenation occurs readily following the rate-determining step, that is, β-hydride elimination of (BQ-NCOP)Ir(H)(OEt) to form (BQ-NCOP)Ir(H)2 and acetaldehyde. The latter is effectively converted to innocent ethyl acetate under the catalytic conditions, thus avoiding the catalyst poisoning via iridium-mediated decarbonylation of acetaldehyde.

- Water as the Reaction Medium for Intermolecular C-H Alkane Functionalization in Micellar Catalysis
-
A series of alkanes CnH2n+2 have been functionalized in water as the reaction medium, using a silver-based catalyst, upon the insertion of carbene (CHCO2Et from N2CHCO2Et) groups into the carbon-hydrogen bonds of hexane, cyclohexane, or 2-methylbutane, among others. The regioselectivity toward the distinct reaction sites is identical to that found in neat alkane, the water-based system allowing the use of a much shorter excess of the hydrocarbon. This is the first example of the intermolecular functionalization of alkanes with this strategy in water. The functionalized alkanes partially undergo the incorporation of a second carbene unit to provide α-(acyloxy)acetates, in an unprecedented tandem reaction of this nature.

- Functionalization of CnH2n+2 Alkanes: Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Enhances the Reactivity towards Primary Carbon-Hydrogen Bonds
-
The functionalization of the primary sites of alkanes is one of the more challenging areas in catalysis. In this context, a novel effect has been discovered that is responsible for an enhancement in the reactivity of the primary C-H bonds of alkanes in a catalytic system. The copper complex Cu(NCMe) (=hydrotris{[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4-bromo]-pyrazol-1-yl}borate) catalyzes the functionalization of CnH2n+2 with ethyl diazoacetate upon inserting the CHCO2Et unit into C-H bonds. In addition, the selectivity of the reaction toward the primary sites significantly increased relative to that obtained in neat alkane upon using supercritical carbon dioxide as the reaction medium. This was attributed to the effect of the carbon dioxide molecules that withdraw electron density from the fluorine atoms of the ligand, which enhances the electrophilic nature of the metal center. DFT studies validated this proposal.

- Ruthenium nanoparticle-intercalated montmorillonite clay for solvent-free alkene hydrogenation reaction
-
Well-characterized, ruthenium nanoparticle-intercalated montmorillonite clay was used as a catalyst in solvent-free alkene hydrogenation reactions and the corresponding products were obtained in good yields. The catalytic activity of ruthenium nanoparticle-intercalated montmorillonite clay was successfully tested with 16 different functionalized and non-functionalized alkenes. Apart from alkene reduction, the ruthenium nanoparticle-intercalated montmorillonite clay was also tested in Wittig-type reactions for obtaining dehydrobrittonin A, an important intermediate for the synthesis of brittonin A. Ruthenium nanoparticle-intercalated montmorillonite clay was found to be active in the synthesis of dehydrobrittonin A and brittonin A. The ability to recycle the catalyst nine times, together with low catalyst loading, high catalytic activity and catalytic selectivity were noteworthy advantages of the proposed protocol.

- Catalytic functionalization of methane and light alkanes in supercritical carbon dioxide
-
The development of catalytic methods for the effective functionalization of methane yet remains a challenge. The best system known to date is the so-called Catalytica Process based on the use of platinum catalysts to convert methane into methyl bisulfate with a TOF rate of 10-3 s. In this contribution, we report a series of silver complexes containing perfluorinated tris(indazolyl)borate ligands that catalyze the functionalization of methane into ethyl propionate upon reaction with ethyl diazoacetate (EDA) by using supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) as the reaction medium. The employment of this reaction medium has also allowed the functionalization of ethane, propane, butane, and isobutane.

- Kinetics and mechanisms of homogeneous catalytic reactions. Part 12. Hydroalcoxycarbonylation of 1-hexene using palladium/triphenylphosphine systems as catalyst precursors
-
Systems prepared in situ by addition of n equivalents of triphenylphosphine to palladium dichloride in the presence of m equivalents of para-toluenesulfonic acid (TSA), PdCl2/nPPh3/mTSA (n and m varying between 2 and 10), were used as precatalysts for the olefin carbonylation (1-hexene, cyclohexene and styrene) with alcohols (MeOH, EtOH, n-PrOH and i-PrOH) to generate the corresponding esters (hydroalcoxycarbonylation), under mild reaction conditions. For 1-hexene carbonylation in presence of methanol (1-hexene hydromethoxycarbonylation), the most active system was PdCl2/6PPh3/5TSA at P(CO) = 50 atm and T = 125°C, which was also active for the hydromethoxycarbonylation of other olefins (1-hexene > styrene > cyclohexene). This system was regioselective towards the linear product for 1-hexene and towards the branched product for styrene. A kinetic study of 1-hexene hydromethoxycarbonylation catalyzed by PdCl2/6PPh3/5TSA showed that the initial reaction rate (ro) was first order on Pd and MeOH concentrations and fractional order with respect to CO concentration; for olefin concentration was found a saturation curve. These kinetic results, together with coordination chemistry and computational DFT studies, allow us to propose a catalytic cycle involving species of the type [Pd(H)(L)(PPh3)2]+n (L = Cl, n = 0; L = CO, MeOH, olefin and PPh3, n = 1) as the catalytically active species and three sequential reactions: (1) olefin insertion into the Pd-H bond to yield Pd-alkyl species, (2) CO insertion into the Pd-C bond to generate Pd-acyl intermediates, and (3) the methanolysis of Pd-acyl species to produce the corresponding methyl esters, regenerate the active species and restart the cycle; the last reaction is considered the rate-determining step (rds) of the mechanism.

- Silver-catalyzed C-C bond formation between methane and ethyl diazoacetate in supercritical CO2
-
Even in the context of hydrocarbons' general resistance to selective functionalization, methane's volatility and strong bonds pose a particular challenge. We report here that silver complexes bearing perfluorinated indazolylborate ligands catalyze the reaction of methane (CH4) with ethyl diazoacetate (N2CHCO2Et) to yield ethyl propionate (CH3CH2CO2Et). The use of supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) as the solvent is key to the reaction's success. Although the catalyst is only sparingly soluble in CH4/CO2 mixtures, optimized conditions presently result in a 19% yield of ethyl propionate (based on starting quantity of the diazoester) at 40°C over 14 hours.

-
Photosensitized hydrogen abstraction from 2-alkyl-1,3-dioxolanes by triplet benzophenone gives the corresponding 1,3-dioxolan-2-yl radicals and these are trapped by α,β-unsatured ketones yielding monoprotected 1,4-diketones. With open chain ketones (3-buten-2-one and 4-penten-3-one) the yields are low and competitive pathways in part consume the radicals. With cyclic enones however, yields are good as tested with cyclopentenone, cyclohexenone and 4-hydroxy-cyclopentenone. More generally, this is a viable alternative for the synthesis of 1,4-diketones via radicals while the thermal initiation gives only low yield. The reaction cannot be extended to strongly stabilized radicals, such as the 2-phenyl-1,3-dioxolanyl radical.

- Novel tridentate diamino organomanganese(II) complexes as homogeneous catalysts in manganese(II)/copper(I) catalyzed carbon-carbon bond forming reactions
-
The new, paramagnetic arylmanganese(II) complex Li[MnCl2(NCN)] (2, NCN [C6H3(CH2NMe2)2-2,6] -) has been obtained in high yield from the reaction of MnCl2 and [Li(NCN)]2 in a 2:1 molar ratio. In THF solution, 2 is likely an ionic species [Li(THF)n] [MnCl2(NCN)] (molecular weight determination and conductivity measurements), while magnetic measurements indicate that a high spin d5 manganese(II) center is present. Subsequent reaction of 2 with RLi afforded [MnR(NCN)] (R=Me (3a), n-Bu (3b)). Complex 2, using CuCl as a co-catalyst, is an effective catalyst system for cross-coupling of Grignard reagents with alkyl bromides and the 1,4-addition of organomagnesium halides to α,β-unsaturated ketones. No further additives or co-solvents are necessary. For both reactions a dramatic decrease in reaction times is observed when compared to standard manganese/copper systems. Alkyl bromides with unsaturated or heteroatom functionalities can be cross-coupled. Also, excellent reactivity towards normally unreactive β,β-disubstituted ketones has been observed in the 1,4-addition reaction.

- Reductive alkylation of electronegatively-substituted alkenes by alkylmercury halides
-
Photolysis of alkylmercury halides in the presence of electronegatively-substituted 1-alkenes yields adduct radicals [RCH2CH(EWG).] that in some cases react with RHgX to form RCH2CH(HgX)(EWG), e.g., EWG = (EtO)2PO or PhSO2. When the EWG is carbonyl or cyano, the resonance stabilized adduct radicals fail to react with the alkyl mercury halide. In these cases photolysis with RHgCl/KI in Me2SO leads to the adduct mercurial via reaction of the adduct radicals with RHgI2-. The reactions of tertiary-enolyl adduct radicals are inefficient with RHgX/KI, and disproportionation of the adduct radicals is the major reaction pathway. For secondary- or tertiary-adduct radicals the reductive alkylation products are formed in excellent yield by reaction with RHgCl and silyl hydrides in Me2SO solution in a process postulated to involve RHgH as an intermediate. The relative reactivities of a number of α,β-unsaturated systems toward t-Bu. have been measured by competitive techniques. The results demonstrate a high reactivity of s-cis enones relative to the s-trans conformers.

- Homolytic Reactions of Ligated Boranes. Part 9. Overall Addition of Alkanes to Electron-deficient Alkenes by a Radical Chain Mechanism
-
Methyl bromoacetate and ethyl 2-bromopropanoate are reduced by Bun3P->BH3 or Bun3P->BH2Ph to methyl acetate and ethyl propanoate, respectively, in chlorobenzene at 80-110 deg C in the presence of dibenzoyl peroxide or t-butyl perbenzoate.Amine complexes of borane or phenylborane are much less effective reducing agents.The reductions may also be initiated photochemically and are inhibited by a phenolic radical scavenger.A homolytic chain mechanism is proposed in which the phosphine-boryl radical abstracts halogen from the bromo ester and is subsequently regenerated by reaction of an α-(alkoxycarbonyl)alkyl radical with the phosphine-borane.The latter propagation step, together with halogen abstraction from RI and addition of the derived alkyl radical to the C=C bond, is also involved in the chain reaction between Bun3P->BH2Ph, an alkyl iodide, and ethyl acrylate according to equation (A); Bun3P->BH3 reacts similarly but gives lower yields of ester.Reaction (A) proceeds smoothly at 110 deg C Bun3P->BH2Ph + RI + CH2=CHCO2Et -> RCH2CH2CO2Et + Bun3P->BHIPh (A) when initiated by t-butyl perbenzoate and moderate yields of isolated esters were obtained from n-butyl iodide, cyclohexyl iodide, and 3β-iodocholest-5-ene.This last iodide gives an epimeric mixture of 3α- and 3β-esters in total isolated yield of ca. 50 percent.Similar addition reactions take place between Bun3P->BH2Ph, BunI, and diethyl vinylphosphonate or phenyl vinyl sulphone.It is concluded that Bun3P->BH3 and particularly Bun3P->BH2Ph offer promise as alternatives to tin, mercury, and germanium hydrides in radical chain reactions of synthetic value.

- Silyl Phosphites. XVIII. Versatile Utility of α-(Trimethylsilyloxy)-alkylphosphonates as Key Intermediates for Transformation of Aldehydes into Several Carbonyl Derivatives
-
Carbonyl addition compounds of diethyl trimethylsilyl phosphite (DTMSP) with aldehydes were converted, by treatment with lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) followed by the successive alkylation and alkaline hydrolysis, to carbonyl derivatives involving aldehydes, unsymmetrical ketones, β,γ-unsaturated ketones, and carboxylic acids. β-Substituted carboxylic esters and γ-substituted lactones were prepared by use of the carbonyl addition compounds of DTMSP with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes.

- Reaction of Ozonides with Methanol in the Presence of Chlorosulphonic Acid: Selective Cleavage of the C-O Bond of the Peroxide Bridge
-
The reaction of 1,2,4-trioxolans (ozonides) (1) with methanol in the presence of chlorosulphonic acid gives good yields of products formed via the corresponding α-methoxy hydroperoxides.The order of reactivity of the ozonides, as estimated by periodic measurement of the n.m.r. spectra of a mixture of the ozonide and chlorosulphonic acid in CD3OD, is as follows: (1a), (1b) > (1c), (1d), (1e), (1f), (1g) > (1h).
