- An aluminum ate base: Its design, structure, function, and reaction mechanism
-
An aluminum ate base, i-Bu3Al(TMP)Li, has been designed and developed for regio- and chemoselective direct generation of functionalized aromatic aluminum compounds. Direct alumination followed by electrophilic trapping with I2, Cu/Pd-catalyzed C-C bond formation, or direct oxidation with molecular O2 proved to be a powerful tool for the preparation of 1,2- or 1,2,3-multisubstituted aromatic compounds. This deprotonative alumination using i-Bu3Al(TMP)Li was found to be effective in aliphatic chemistry as well, enabling regio- and chemoselective addition of functionalized allylic ethers and carbamates to aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes. A combined multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, and theoretical study showed that the aluminum ate base is a Li/Al bimetallic complex bridged by the nitrogen atom of TMP and the α-carbon of an i-Bu ligand and that the Li exclusively serves as a recognition point for electronegative functional groups or coordinative solvents. The mechanism of directed ortho alumination reaction of functionalized aromatic compounds has been studied by NMR and in situ FT-IR spectroscopy, X-ray analysis, and DFT calculation. It has been found that the reaction proceeds with facile formation of an initial adduct of the base and aromatic, followed by deprotonative formation of the functionalized aromatic aluminum compound. Deprotonation by the TMP ligand rather than the isobutyl ligand was suggested and reasoned by means of spectroscopic and theoretical study. The remarkable regioselectivity of the ortho alumination reaction was explained by a coordinative approximation effect between the functional groups and the counter Li+ ion, enabling stable initial complex formation and creation of a less strained transition state structure.

- Effective and regioselective iodination of arenes using iron(III) nitrate in the presence of tungstophosphoric acid
-
An easy, cheap, and effective method for iodination of various aromatic compounds takes place with molecular iodine and iron nitrate nonahydrate as the oxidant in the presence of a catalytic amount of tungstophosphoric acid in dichloromethane, with good yield and high regioselectivity under very mild conditions.

- 2-(6'-methoxynaphth-2'yl) propionaldoxime and 5'-halo derivatives thereof
-
New compounds, 2-(6'-methoxynaphth-2'-yl)propylene oxide, 2-(6'-methoxynaphth-2'-yl)propionaldoxime, 2-hydroxy-2-(6'-methoxynaphth-2'-yl)-propionitrile, 2-(6'methoxynaphth-2'-yl)acrylonitrile, 2-(6'-methoxynaphth-2'-yl)acrylic acid, the corresponding 5'-halo compounds and 2-(5'-halo-6'-methoxynaphth-2'-yl)propionaldehyde are useful intermediates in producing 2-(6'-methoxynaphth-2'-yl)propionic acid and the corresponding 5'-halo acids from 6-methoxy-2-acetylnaphthalene and the corresponding 5-halo compounds. The 2-propionic acids are anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-pyretic and anti-pruritic agents. The 2-propionaldehydes, obtained from the 2-acetyl compounds by way of the 2-propylene oxide, can be converted directly to the 2-propionic acids by way of the 2-propionaldoximes and the 2-propionitriles or more directly by Jones oxidation. Alternatively the 2-acrylonitriles, obtained from the 2-acetyl compounds by way of the 2-hydroxy-2-propionitrile, can be converted to the 2-propionic acid by way of the 2-acrylic acid or 2-propionitrile.
