76-03-9 Tandem catalysis of ring-closing metathesis/ atom transfer radical reactions with homobimetallic ruthenium-arene complexes

The tandem catalysis of ring-closing metathesis/atom transfer radical reactions was investigated with the homobimetallic ruthenium-indenylidene complex [(p-cymene)Ru(μ-Cl)3RuCl(3-phenyl-1-indenylidene)(PCy 3)] (1) to generate active species in situ. The two catalytic processes were first carried out independently in a case study before the whole sequence was optimized and applied to the synthesis of several polyhalogenated bicyclic γ-lactams and lactones from αω-diene substrates bearing trihaloacetamide or trichloroacetate functionalities. The individual steps were carefully monitored by 1H and 31P NMR spectroscopies in order to understand the intimate details of the catalytic cycles. Polyhalogenated substrates and the ethylene released upon metathesis induced the clean transformation of catalyst precursor 1 into the Ru(II)-Ru(III) mixed-valence compound [(p- cymene)Ru(μ-Cl)3RuCl 2(PCy3)], which was found to be an efficient promoter for atom transfer radical reactions under the adopted experimental conditions. https://www.lookchem.com/CASDataBase_76-03-9.htm

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

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

75-26-3 Thallium(I) Carboxylate Modification of the Hunsdiecker Reaction

Treatment of a thallium(I) carboxylate with 1 molar equivalent of bromine gives the corresponding thallium(III) carboxylate dibromide.High yields of primary alkyl bromides are obtained if the thallium(III) carboxylate dibromide is treated with 0.5 mol equiv. of bromine in refluxing carbon tetrachloride.Pyrolysis of the thallium(III) derivative in the absence of added bromine gives a low yield of the corresponding alkyl bromide.The use of thallium(I) carboxylates for the preparation of alkyl bromides in high yields is limited to the salts of primary carboxylic acids.A simple procedure for the preparation of alkyl bromides from carboxylic acids using thallium(I) carbonate has been developed. https://www.lookchem.com/CASDataBase_75-26-3.htm
