Structural characterization of compounds analogous to the proposed intermediates in the Mitsunobu esterification process is achieved by the combined use of NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffractometric studies. The results show that compounds (t-BuNH)P(μ-N-t-Bu)2P[(N-t-Bu)(N-(CO 2R)-N(H)(CO2R))] [R = Et (11), i-Pr (12)], obtained by treating [(t-Bu-NH)P-μ-N-t-Bu]2 (10) with diethylazodicarboxylate (DEAD) or diisopropylazodicarboxylate (DIAD), respectively, have a structure with the NH proton residing between the two nitrogen atoms ((P)N(t-Bu) and (P)N-N(CO2Et)); this is the tautomeric form of the expected betaine (t-BuNH)P(μ-N-t-Bu)2P+[(NH-t-Bu)(N-(CO 2R)-N-(CO2R)]. Treatment of ClP(μ-N-t-Bu) 2P[(N-t-Bu){N-(CO2-i-Pr)-N(H)(CO2-i-Pr)] (6) with 2,6-dicholorophenol affords (2,6-Cl2-C6H 3-O)P-(μ-N-t-Bu)2P+[(NH-t-Bu){N[(CO 2i-Pr)(HNCO2i-Pr)]}](Cl-)(2,6-Cl 2-C6H3-OH) (14) that has a structure similar to that of (CF3CH2O)P(μ-N-t-Bu)2P +[(NH-t-Bu){N[(CO2i-Pr)(HNCO2i-Pr)]}](Cl -) (13), but with an additional hydrogen bonded phenol. Both of these have the protonated betaine structure analogous to that of Ph3P +N(CO2R)NH(CO2R)(R′CO2) - (2) proposed in the Mitsunobu esterification. Two other compounds, (ArO)P(μ-N-t-Bu)2P+(NH-t-Bu){N(CO2i-Pr) (HNCO2i-Pr)}(Cl-) [Ar = 2,6-Me2C 6H3O- (15) and 2-Me-6-t-Bu-C6H3-O- (16)], are also prepared by the same route. Although NMR tube reactions of 11 or 12 with tetrachlorocatechol, catechol, 2,2′-biphenol, and phenol revealed significant changes in the 31P NMR spectra, attempted isolation of these products was not successful. On the basis of 31P NMR spectra, the phosphonium salt structure (t-BuNH)P(μ-N-t-Bu)2P +[(HN-t-Bu){N-(CO2R)-N(H)(CO2R)]-(ArO -) is proposed for these. The weakly acidic propan-2-ol or water did not react with 11 or 12, Treatment of 12 with carboxylic acids/p-toluenesulfonic acid gave the products (t-BuNH)P(μ-N-t-Bu)2P+[(HN-t- Bu){N-(CO2-i-Pr)-N(H)(CO2-i-Pr)](ArCO2-) [Ar = Ph (18), 4-Cl-C6H4CH2 (19), 4-Br-C 6H4 (20), 4-NO2-C6H4 (21)] and (t-BuNH)P(μ-N-t-Bu)2P+|(HN-t-Bu){N-(CO 2-i-Pr)-N(H)(CO2-i-Pr)](4-CH3-C 6H4SO3-) (22) that have essentially the same structure as 2. Compound 18 has additional stabilization by hydrogen bonding, as revealed by X-ray structure determination. Finally it is shown that the in situ generated (t-BuNH)P(μ-N-t-Bu)2P+[(HN-t-Bu) {N-(CO2Et)-N(H)(CO2Et)](4-NO2-C 6H4CO2-) can also effect Mitsunobu esterification. A comparison of the Ph3P-DIAD system with the analogous synthetically useful Ph3P-dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) system is made.
The polyhedral nature of selenium-catalysed reactions: Se(iv) species instead of Se(vi) species make the difference in the on water selenium-mediated oxidation of arylamines

Selenium-catalysed oxidations are highly sought after in organic synthesis and biology. Herein, we report our studies on the on water selenium mediated oxidation of anilines. In the presence of diphenyl diselenide or benzeneseleninic acid, anilines react with hydrogen peroxide, providing direct and selective access to nitroarenes. On the other hand, the use of selenium dioxide or sodium selenite leads to azoxyarenes. Careful mechanistic analysis and 77Se NMR studies revealed that only Se(iv) species, such as benzeneperoxyseleninic acid, are the active oxidants involved in the catalytic cycle operating in water and leading to nitroarenes. While other selenium-catalysed oxidations occurring in organic solvents have been recently demonstrated to proceed through Se(vi) key intermediates, the on water oxidation of anilines to nitroarenes does not. These findings shed new light on the multifaceted nature of organoselenium-catalysed transformations and open new directions to exploit selenium-based catalysis.

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.
