76-57-3 Polonovski-type N-demethylation of N-methyl alkaloids using substituted ferrocene redox catalysts

Various substituted ferrocenes have been trialed as catalysts in the nonclassical Polonovski reaction for N-demethylation of N-methyl alkaloids. Earlier studies suggest that conditions facilitating a higher ferrocenium ion concentration lead to superior outcomes. In this regard, the bifunctional ferrocene FcCH2CO2H, with electron donor and acceptor moieties in the same molecule, has been shown to be advantageous for use as a catalyst in the N-demethylation of a number of tertiary N-methylamines such as codeine, thebaine, and oripavine. These substrates are readily N-demethylated under mild conditions, employing sub-stoichiometric amounts of the substituted ferrocene at ambient temperature. These reactions are equally efficient in air and may also be carried out in one pot. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart · New York. https://www.lookchem.com/CASDataBase_76-57-3.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
