A P?P Bond as a Redox Reservoir and an Active Reaction Site
Kim, Yeong-Eun,Lee, Yunho

The carbonylation of a nickel(II) anilido species 2 led to the formation of a dinickel(0)–CO complex (P2P-PP2){Ni(CO)}2 3 with a P?P bond along with isocyanate generation. In this reaction, the central phosphide moiety of an anionic PPP ligand (PPP?=?P[2-PiPr2C6H4]2) acts as a single-electron donor to form a P radical. Alternatively, 3 can be synthesized from the reduction of (PPP)NiCl (1) in the presence of CO; thus, the reaction proceeds by radical coupling of a .P?Ni0?CO species. The reverse reaction occurred to generate 1 when 3 was treated with AgCl. Since the P?P bond is light-sensitive, its homolysis is possible and was explored by EPR spectroscopy and DFT analysis. Finally, various bond-activation reactions of 3 occurred under visible-light conditions, thus indicating that a P?P bond can act as an active reaction site.
Di-tert-butyl dicarbonate and 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine revisited. Their reactions with amines and alcohols
Basel, Yochai,Hassner, Alfred
, p. 6368 - 6380 (2007/10/03)
The reaction of BOC2O in the presence and absence of DMAP was examined with some amines, alcohols, diols, amino alcohols, and aminothiols. Often, unusual products were observed depending on the ratio of reagents, reaction time, polarity of solvent, pK(a) of alcohols, or type of amine (primary or secondary). In reactions of aliphatic alcohols with BOC2O/DMAP, we isolated for the first time carbonic-carbonic anhydride intermediates; this helps explain the formation of symmetrical carbonates in addition to the O-BOC products. In the case of secondary amines, we succeeded to isolate unstable carbamic-carbonic anhydride intermediates that in the presence of DMAP led to the final N-BOC product. The effect of N-methylimidazole in place of DMAP was also examined.
A novel synthesis of isocyanates and ureas via β-elimination of haloform

A novel synthesis of isocyanates via base-induced β-elimination of haloform from N-monosubstituted trihaloacetamides is described. The rate of reaction exhibits a strong dependence on the nature of the trihalomethyl group. Thus, while the reaction of tribromoacetamides proceeds at room temperature and the reaction of trichloroacetamides requires heating in polar solvents, no reaction could be observed for any of the corresponding trifluoro derivatives. This novel β-elimination of haloform from stable and readily available trihaloacetamides was applied to a 'one-pot' synthesis of ureas which avoids the use of phosgene and isolation of isocyanates.
