766-90-5 The synthesis of alkenes via epi-phosphonium species: 1. An anti-Wittig elimination

Anti-1,2-phosphinyl alcohols 11 and their corresponding syn-isomers upon treatment with phosphorus trichloride and triethylamine give E and Z alkenes respectively, by an anti elimination. This is in marked contrast to the syn Horner-Wittig elimination of the corresponding 1,2-phosphinoyl alcohols. The 1,2-phosphinyl alcohols 11 were prepared by the reduction of 1,2-phosphinoyl alcohols with cerium(III) chloride/lithium aluminium hydride. The anti elimination is explained by the formation of a transient epi-phosphonium species. An unexpected E-selective Horner-Wittig elimination during the cerium(III) chloride/lithium aluminium hydride reduction of a 1,2-phosphinoyl alcohol in which the diphenylphosphinoyl group is adjacent to an aryl group is described. This led to the synthesis of the antimitotic agent E- combretastatin A-4. An alternative synthesis of the 1,2-phosphinyl alcohols from the corresponding phosphine-borane complex is also described. https://www.lookchem.com/CASDataBase_766-90-5.htm

100-48-1 In situ immobilized palladium nanoparticles on surface of poly-methyldopa coated-magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4@PMDA/Pd): A magnetically recyclable nanocatalyst for cyanation of aryl halides with K4[Fe(CN)6]

Poly-methyldopa (PMDP)-coated Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles (Fe 3 O 4 @PMDP) have been synthesized through a simple and green procedure. In the present study, for the first time, Pd nanoparticles were successfully deposited using Fe 3 O 4 @PMDP as a core-shell magnetic coordinator and stabilizer agent. In this protocol, Pd ions were adsorbed on surfaces of Fe 3 O 4 @PMDP through immersion of the PMDP-coated Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles into a palladium plating bath. Next, they were reduced in situ to palladium nanoparticles using PMDP's N-containing groups and reducing ability. The structure, morphology and physicochemical properties of the synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by different analytical techniques such as energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) spectroscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), inductively coupled plasma (ICP), thermo gravimetric...

767-58-8 The Photochemistry of Conformationally Rigid Benzylic Esters: 2,2-Dimethyl-1-indanyl Acetates and Pivalates

The photochemistry, in methanol, of substituted 2,2-dimethyl-1-indanyl acetates 9a-c and pivalates 10a-c has been studied.In agreement with previous studies on benzylic esters, the results show that the substituents change the yield of products derived from the ion pair.The mechanistic conclusion reached is that the substituents change the oxidation potential of the indanyl radicals and thus the rate constant of electron transfer for converting the radical pair to the ion pair.The results also reveal two other substituent effects.First, substituents can increase the overall efficiency of the photoreaction by enhancing homolytic cleavage.The second effect is conformational.In compounds where the bond that is cleaving is conformationally mobile, such as the C-O bond in benzylic esters, substituents on the ring can change the population of the reactive conformer and thus the overall efficiency of the reaction.For the indanyl acetate esters, the difference in excited-state reaction rate be...

1023-17-2 Syntheses, structures, and catalytic activity in Friedel–Crafts acylations of substituted tetramethylcyclopentadienyl molybdenum carbonyl complexes

Reactions of the substituted tetramethylcyclopentadienes [C 5 HMe 4 R] [R?=? t Bu, Ph, CH 2 CH 2 C(CH 3 ) 3 ] with Mo(CO) 3 (CH 3 CN) 3 in refluxing xylene gave a series of dinuclear molybdenum carbonyl complexes [(η 5 -C 5 Me 4 R)Mo(CO) 3 ] 2 [R?=? t Bu (1), Ph (2), CH 2 CH 2 C(CH 3 ) 3 (3)], [(η 5 -C 5 Me t Bu)Mo(μ-CO) 2 ] 2 (4)], and [(η 5 -C 5 Me 4 ) t Bu] 2 Mo 2 O 4 (μ-O) (5)], respectively. Complexes 1–5 were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1 H NMR, and 13 C NMR spectroscopy. In addition, their crystal structures were determined by X-ray crystal diffraction analysis. The catalytic activities of complexes 1–3 in Friedel–Crafts acylation in the presence of o-chloranil has also been investigated; the reactions were achieved under mild conditions to give the corresponding products in moderate yields. https://www.lookchem.com/CASDataBase_1023-17-2.htm
