- Evidence for the Incursion of Intermediates in the Hydrolysis of Tertiary, Secondary, and Primaty Substrates
-
The temperature dependence related to a series of solvolytic displacement reactions of primary, secondary, and tertiary carbon centers are examined using a new equation.The equation is derived by integrating the van't Hoff isochore in a form related to the absolute rate theory on the assumption that the heat capacity of activation (ΔGp) is constant.Unexpectedly, the new equation is capable of correctly sensing changes in ΔCp with temperature.The new equation is used to show that in some instances ΔCp is partly abnormal and derives from the nonunitary nature of the displacement in a way outlined previously by Albery and Robinson.The significance of this new mechanistic tool is considered in relation to the displacement reaction of 2-bromopropane in heavy water and the reactions of adamantyl nitrate, tert-butyl chloride, S-propyl methanesulphonate, m-trifluoromethylbenzyl nitrate, and ethyl bromide with ordinary water.

- Nickel(II) Catalyzed Hydroboration: A Route to Selective Reduction of Aldehydes and N-Allylimines
-
A cationic [(iminophosphine)nickel(allyl)]+ complex was found to be sufficiently electrophilic to activate aldehydes and N-allylimines to undergo hydroboration with pinacolborane (HBpin) under mild reaction conditions. The catalyst displayed excellent selectivity toward aldehydes in the presence of ketones. A wide variety of functional groups were tolerated, including halogens, NO2, CN, OMe, and alkenes for both aldehydes and imines. Electron-rich substrates were found to be significantly more reactive than their electron poor counterparts, a feature that was correlated to their enhanced ability to coordinate to the Lewis acidic nickel center.

- Cerium(IV) Carboxylate Photocatalyst for Catalytic Radical Formation from Carboxylic Acids: Decarboxylative Oxygenation of Aliphatic Carboxylic Acids and Lactonization of Aromatic Carboxylic Acids
-
We found that in situ generated cerium(IV) carboxylate generated by mixing the precursor Ce(OtBu)4 with the corresponding carboxylic acids served as efficient photocatalysts for the direct formation of carboxyl radicals from carboxylic acids under blue light-emitting diodes (blue LEDs) irradiation and air, resulting in catalytic decarboxylative oxygenation of aliphatic carboxylic acids to give C-O bond-forming products such as aldehydes and ketones. Control experiments revealed that hexanuclear Ce(IV) carboxylate clusters initially formed in the reaction mixture and the ligand-to-metal charge transfer nature of the Ce(IV) carboxylate clusters was responsible for the high catalytic performance to transform the carboxylate ligands to the carboxyl radical. In addition, the Ce(IV) carboxylate cluster catalyzed direct lactonization of 2-isopropylbenzoic acid to produce the corresponding peroxy lactone and ?3-lactone via intramolecular 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer (1,5-HAT).

- Polypyridyl iridium(III) based catalysts for highly chemoselective hydrogenation of aldehydes
-
Iridium-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation (TH) of carbonyl compounds using HCOOR (R = H, Na, NH4) as a hydrogen source is a pivotal process as it provides the clean process and is easy to execute. However, the existing highly efficient iridium catalysts work at a narrow pH; thus, does not apply to a wide variety of substrates. Therefore, the development of a new catalyst which works at a broad pH range is essential as it can gain a broader scope of utilization. Here we report highly efficient polypyridyl iridium(III) catalysts, [Ir(tpy)(L)Cl](PF6)2 {where tpy = 2,2′:6′,2′'-Terpyridine, L = phen (1,10-Phenanthroline), Me2phen (4,7-Dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline), Me4phen (3,4,7,8-Tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline), Me2bpy (4,4′-Dimethyl-2–2′-dipyridyl)} for the chemoselective reduction of aldehydes to alcohols in aqueous ethanol and sodium formate as the hydride source. The reaction can be carried out efficiently in broad pH ranges, from pH 6 to 11. These catalysts are air stable, easy to prepare using commercially available starting materials, and are highly applicable for a wide range of substrates, such as electron-rich or deficient (hetero)arenes, halogens, phenols, alkoxy, ketones, esters, carboxylic acids, cyano, and nitro groups. Particularly, acid and hydroxy groups containing aldehydes were reduced successfully in basic and acidic reaction conditions, demonstrating the efficiency of the catalyst in a broad pH range with high conversion rates under microwave irradiation.

- Study of Precatalyst Degradation Leading to the Discovery of a New Ru0 Precatalyst for Hydrogenation and Dehydrogenation
-
The complex Ru-MACHO (1) is a widely used precatalyst for hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reactions under basic conditions. In an attempt to identify the active catalyst form, 1 was reacted with a strong base. The formation of previously unreported species was observed by NMR and mass spectrometry. This observation indicated that complex 1 quickly degraded under basic conditions when no substrate was present. X-ray crystallography enabled the identification of three complexes as products of this degradation of complex 1. These complexes suggested degradation pathways which included ligand cleavage and reassembly, along with reduction of the ruthenium atom. One of the decomposition products, the Ru0 complex [Ru(N(CH2CH2PPh2)3)CO] (5), was prepared independently and studied. 5 was found to be active, entirely additive-free, in the acceptorless dehydrogenation of aliphatic alcohols to esters. The hydrogenation of esters catalyzed by 5 was also demonstrated under base-free conditions with methanol as an additive. Protic substrates were shown to add reversibly to complex 5, generating RuII-hydrido species, thus presenting a rare example of reversible oxidative addition from Ru0 to RuII and reductive elimination from RuII to Ru0.

- Triazolylidene Iridium Complexes for Highly Efficient and Versatile Transfer Hydrogenation of C=O, C=N, and C=C Bonds and for Acceptorless Alcohol Oxidation
-
A set of iridium(I) and iridium(III) complexes is reported with triazolylidene ligands that contain pendant benzoxazole, thiazole, and methyl ether groups as potentially chelating donor sites. The bonding mode of these groups was identified by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray structure analysis. The complexes were evaluated as catalyst precursors in transfer hydrogenation and in acceptorless alcohol oxidation. High-valent iridium(III) complexes were identified as the most active precursors for the oxidative alcohol dehydrogenation, while a low-valent iridium(I) complex with a methyl ether functionality was most active in reductive transfer hydrogenation. This catalyst precursor is highly versatile and efficiently hydrogenates ketones, aldehydes, imines, allylic alcohols, and most notably also unpolarized olefins, a notoriously difficult substrate for transfer hydrogenation. Turnover frequencies up to 260 h-1 were recorded for olefin hydrogenation, whereas hydrogen transfer to ketones and aldehydes reached maximum turnover frequencies greater than 2000 h-1. Mechanistic investigations using a combination of isotope labeling experiments, kinetic isotope effect measurements, and Hammett parameter correlations indicate that the turnover-limiting step is hydride transfer from the metal to the substrate in transfer hydrogenation, while in alcohol dehydrogenation, the limiting step is substrate coordination to the metal center.

- Cooperative interplay between a flexible PNN-Ru(II) complex and a NaBH4 additive in the efficient catalytic hydrogenation of esters
-
A catalyst loading of between 0.001-0.05 mol% of the PNN-bearing ruthenium(II) complex [fac-PNN]RuH(PPh3)(CO) (PNN = 8-(2-diphenylphosphinoethyl)amidotrihydroquinoline), in combination with 5 mol% NaBH4, efficiently catalyzes the hydrogenation of esters to their corresponding alcohols under mild pressures of hydrogen. Both aromatic and aliphatic esters can be converted with high values of TON or TOF achievable. Mechanistic investigations using both DFT calculations and labeling experiments highlight the cooperative role of NaBH4 in the catalysis while the catalytically active species has been established as trans-dihydride [mer-PNHN]RuH2(CO) (PNHN = 8-(2-diphenylphosphinoethyl)aminotrihydroquinoline). The stereo-structure of the PNHN-ruthenium species greatly affects the activity of the catalyst, and indeed the cis-dihydride isomer [fac-PNHN]RuH2(CO) is unable to catalyze the hydrogenation of esters until ligand reorganization occurs to give the trans isomer.

- Method for preparing alcohol through catalytic hydrogenation reduction of carboxylate
-
The invention discloses a method for preparing alcohol through catalytic hydrogenation reduction of a carboxylate compound with 2-(diphenylphosphinoethyl)-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinolyl)amine as a ruthenium complex catalyst of ligand. The catalyst has high-efficiency catalysis activity on alkyl benzoate, aromatic esters and fatty esters. The preparation method is simple and has good stability, the catalysis activity of the catalyst is high, and the dosage of the catalyst is 0.025-0.005% of the mole of a substrate. The method can be used for producing alcohols, and has the advantages of simplicity, small pollution to environment, high yield and low cost. Most of carboxylate can be hydrogenated and reduced to form alcohols by using a complex represented by formula (1) with sodium borohydride as an additive, and the conversion number TOC can reach 50000; and a cocaalyst sodium borohydride is used to substitute most of alcoholic alkalis used as a catalyst in especially used in aromatic esters with electron-withdrawing substituent, so the cost is reduced, operation is simple, and industrial production is easy.

A novel strategy for aromatic trifluoromethylation by converting amino into trifluoromethyl groups via a Sandmeyer-type reaction is reported. The transformation involves diazotization of the aromatic amines with tert-butyl nitrite and hydrochloric acid to form aryldiazonium chlorides, followed by trifluoromethylation with trifluoromethylsilver at low temperature. Various readily available aromatic amines are smoothly converted under mild conditions. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart. New York.

- Benzylic hydroxylation of aromatic compounds by P450 BM3
-
Cytochrome P450 BM3 monooxygenase from Bacillus megaterium and its variants are promising catalysts for organic synthesis. Aiming at the identification of variants for selective hydroxylation of functionalised aromatic compounds, the double mutant F87A L188C showed remarkably improved catalytic activity towards a set of tested toluene derivatives. The apparent catalytic efficiency of this variant towards the model substrate methyl 2-methoxy-3-methylbenzoate was 63.6 s-1 M-1, which is 535-fold higher compared to that of wild-type BM3. Furthermore, the double mutant selectively catalysed the benzylic hydroxylation of numerous toluene derivatives, especially in the presence of carbonyl- or carboxyl-functions that are directly attached to the aromatic ring. Preparative scale conversion resulted in efficient production of methyl 3-(hydroxymethyl)-2-methoxybenzoate (73% yield) which proved that F87A L188C is a suitable, efficient and sustainable catalyst for the introduction of benzylic hydroxyl groups in general.

- Activated iodosylbenzene monomer as an ozone equivalent: Oxidative cleavage of carbon-carbon double bonds in the presence of water
-
Reported here for the first time are the developments of an efficient method for oxidative cleavage of carbon-carbon double bonds yielding carbonyl compounds by using aryl-λ3-iodanes, which involve a combination of iodosylbenzene and HBF4 in the presence of water. The method serves as a safety alternative to ozonolysis. The oxidative cleavage of olefins probably involves the hitherto unknown direct vicinal dihydroxylations of double bonds with aryl-λ3-iodanes and the subsequent oxidative glycol fissions. Cyclic (cyclopentenes, cyclohexenes, etc.) and acyclic olefins are cleaved smoothly under our conditions. In the reaction of electron-deficient styrenes such as m-nitrostyrene, intermediate formation of the corresponding epoxide was detected. A variety of aryloxiranes also undergo an oxidative cleavage of the epoxide rings under our conditions, and aromatic aldehydes were obtained in good yields. Copyright

- In situ formation of allyl ketones via Hiyama-Nozaki reactions followed by a chromium-mediated Oppenauer oxidation
-
In Hiyama-Nozaki reactions of allylchromium with aldehydes the expected products are homo-allylalcohols. However, oxidation products derived from these, predominantly allyl ketones, can be common side products. This can be explained by an Oppenauer-(Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley)-type mechanism (OMPV-reaction). The amount of oxidation is strongly dependent on the substitution pattern of the reaction partners and the reaction conditions. An appropriate choice of these can lead to preferential formation of ketones instead of the alcohols. In addition to its synthetic usefulness, the oxidation-reduction equilibrium is of the utmost importance for the design of enantioselective Hiyama-Nozaki reactions because it is also a potential racemization pathway.

- Synthesis and antiparasitic and antitumor activity of 2,4-diamino-6- (arylmethyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline analogues of piritrexim
-
Nineteen previously undescribed 2,4-diamino-6-(arylmethyl)-5,6,7,8- tetrahydroquinazolines (5a-m, 10-12) were synthesized as part of a larger effort to assess the therapeutic potential of lipophilic dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) inhibitors against opportunistic infections of AIDS. Condensation of appropriately substituted (arylmethyl)triphenylphosphoranes with 4,4-ethylenedioxycyclohexanone, followed by hydrogenation (H2/Pd-C) and acidolysis, yielded the corresponding 4-(arylmethyl)cyclohexanones, which were then condensed with cyanoguanidine to form the tetrahydroquinazolines. Three simple 2,4-diamino-6-alkyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline model compounds (9a-c) were also prepared in one step from commercially available 4-alkylcyclohexanones by this method. Enzyme inhibition assays against rat liver DHFR, Pneumocystis carinii DHFR, and the bifunctional DHFR-TS enzyme from Toxoplasma gondii were carried out, and the selectivity ratios IC50(rat)/IC50(P. carinii) and IC50(rat)/IC50(T. gondii) were compared. The three most potent inhibitors of P. carinii DHFR were the 2,5- dimethoxybenzyl (5j), 3,4-dimethoxybenzyl (5k), and 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzyl (51) analogues, with IC50 values of 0.057, 0.10, and 0.091 μM, respectively. The remaining compounds generally had IC50 values in the 0.1- 1.0 μM range. However all the compounds were more potent against the rat liver enzyme than the P. carinii enzyme and thus were nonselective. The T. gondii enzyme was always more sensitive than the P. carinii enzyme, with most of the analogues giving IC50 values of 0.01-0.1 μM. Moderate 5-10-fold selectivity for T. gondii versus rat liver DHFR was observed with five compounds, the best combination of potency and selectivity being achieved with the 2-methoxybenzyl analogue 5d, which had an IC50 of 0.014 μM and a selectivity ratio of 8.6. One compound (51) was tested for antiproliferative activity against P. carinii trophozoites in culture at a concentration of 10 μg/mL and was found to completely suppress growth over 7 days. The suppressive effect of 51 was the same as that of trimethoprim (10 μg/mL) + sulfamethoxazole (250 μg/mL), a standard clinical combination for the treatment of P. carinii pneumonia in AIDS patients. Four compounds (5a,h,k,l) were tested against T. gondii tachyzoites in culture and were found to have a potency (IC50 = 0.1-0.5 μM) similar to that of pyrimethamine (IC50 = 0.69 μM), a standard clinical agent for the treatment of cerebral toxoplasmosis in AIDS patients. Compound 5h was also active against T. gondii infection in mice when given qdx8 by peritoneal injection at doses ranging from 62.5 (initial dose) to 25 mg/kg. Survival was prolonged to the same degree as with 25 mg/kg clindamycin, another widely used drug against toxoplasmosis. Three compounds (5j-l) were tested for antiproliferative activity against human tumor cells in culture. Among the 25 cell lines in the National Cancer Institute panel for which data were confirmed in two independent experiments, the IC50 for at least two of these compounds was 50 of 50 was 0.01 μM.

The most potent inhibitors in this series are 2-trifluoromethylbenzhydrylphosphonic acid (9 μM), and α-(2-phenylethyl)benzylphosphonic acid (14 μM). The structure-activity studies suggest that bulk tolerance beyond the phosphate binding area limits the steric or hydrophobic contribution to inhibitor potency achieved through α-carbon substitution.

Oxidation of monosubstituted benzyl alcohols by pyridinium hydrobromide perbromide (PHPB) leads to the formation of the corresponding benzaldehydes.The reaction is first order with respect to PHPB.Michaelis-Menten-type kinetics were observed with respect to he alcohol.The oxidation of α,α-dideuteriobenzyl alcohol indicated the presence of a substantial kinetic isotope effect.The rates of oxidation of meta- and para-substituted benzyl alcohols were correlated in terms of Taft's and Swain's dual substituent-parameter equations.The rates of the meta compounds correlated best with Taft's ?1 and ?0R values whereas the para-compounds showed an excellent correlation with Taft's ?1 and ?R + constants.The rates of the otho-substituted alcohols showed very good correlation with Charton's triparametric equation.The rate increased with an increase in the polarity of the solvent.A mechanism involving a rapid reversible formation of an intermediate complex and its subsequent decomposition in the rate-determining step has been proposed.

- Kinetic deuterium isotope effects and kinetic solvent isotope effects for the solvolyses in water and in water + acetonitrile mixtures related to a series of substituted benzyl nitrates
-
In aqueous solution, the α-deuterium isotope effects in the solvolyses of benzyl nitrates derivatives depend on the nature of the substituent in the benzene ring.In addition, the isotope effect for some derivatives depends on mole fraction of added acetonitrile while for others the isotope effect is insensitive to solvent composition.However, the kinetic solvent isotope effects for para-methyl and meta-trifluoromethyl derivatives remain unchanged when acetonitrile is added.These observations are accounted for in terms of a model which describes the solvolytic reaction as a two-stage process and contrasts the relative importance of bond-making and bond-breaking.
