1012-72-2 Bond Fixation in Annulenes. 14. Synthesis of and Bond Shifting Equilibrium between 1,4- and 1,6-Di-tert-butylcyclooctatetraenes

Photolysis of the Diels-Alder adduct of 3,6-di-tert-butyl-o-benzoquinone and cyclobutadiene at ice-bath temperatures afforded the bicyclooctatriene 12.During warming to room temperature, this hydrocarbon underwent kinetically first-order valence isomerization to provide 5 and its bond shift isomer 4.This finding adumbrated the facility with which 4 and 5 are interconverted.Reaction of this cyclooctatetraene mixture with N-methyltriazolinedione gave urazoles 16 and 17 as chromatographically separable entities.Like 13, the related cycloadduct of 12 wherein both bridgehead tert-butyl groups exhibit restricted rotation , the angular tert-butyl substituent in 17 is sterically perturbed.Hydrolysis-oxidation of either 16 or 17 returned only mixtures of 4 and 5 because of their rapid bond shifting rates.When the equilibrium constant between these two isomers was determined by 1H NMR spectroscopy, it was found that 5, the apparently more congested compound, was the more stable in CDCl3 solution.The possible underlying causes of this phenomenon are discussed. https://www.lookchem.com/CASDataBase_1012-72-2.htm

726-18-1 Electrophilic alkylations in neutral aqueous or alcoholic solutions

Acid-free Friedel-Crafts chemistry: A paradox? Nucleophilicity scales, based on reactions with benzhydrylium ions, show that many π systems are more nucleophilic than aqueous or alcoholic solutions that are generally employed as solvents for S N 1 reactions. Solvolytically generated carbocations can, therefore, be trapped by donor-substituted arenes and alkenes to form products of Friedel-Crafts-type reactions in neutral aqueous solutions (see scheme). https://www.lookchem.com/CASDataBase_726-18-1.htm

102-82-9 Selective Synthesis of Secondary and Tertiary Amines by Reductive N-Alkylation of Nitriles and N-Alkylation of Amines and Ammonium Formate Catalyzed by Ruthenium Complex

A new ruthenium catalytic system for the syntheses of secondary and tertiary amines via reductive N-alkylation of nitriles and N-alkylation of primary amines is proposed. Isomeric complexes 8 catalyze transfer hydrogenation and N-alkylation of nitriles in ethanol to give secondary amines. Unsymmetrical secondary amines can be produced by N-alkylation of primary amines with alcohols via the borrowing hydrogen methodology. Aliphatic amines were obtained with excellent yields, while only moderate conversions were observed for anilines. Based on kinetic and mechanistic studies, it is suggested that the rate determining step is the hydrogenation of intermediate imine to amine. Finally, ammonium formate was applied as the amination reagent for alcohols in the presence of ruthenium catalyst 8. Secondary amines were obtained from primary alcohols within 24 hours at 100 °C, and tertiary amines can be produced after prolonged heating. Secondary alcohols can only be converted to secondary amines

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
