A simple and robust method for electrochemical alkyl C–H fluorination is presented. Using a nitrate additive, widely available fluorine source (Selectfluor), carbon-based electrodes, wide variety of activated unactivated bonds are converted into their C–F congeners. The scalability the reaction also demonstrated with 100 gram preparation fluorovaline.
This Communication describes a successful olefin cross-metathesis with tetrafluoroethylene and its analogues. A key to the efficient catalytic cycle is interconversion between two thermodynamically stable, generally considered sluggish, Fischer carbenes. newly demonstrated transformation enables easy short-step synthesis of new class partially fluorinated olefins bearing plural fluorine atoms, which are particularly important valuable compounds in organic medicinal chemistry as well...
[reaction: see text] Optically active (M)-2,11-dihydroxy-1,12-dimethylbenzo[c]phenanthrene-5,8-dicarbonitrile was synthesized from (M)-1,12-dimethyl-2,11-dinitrobenzo[c]phenanthrene-5,8-dicarbonitrile by the reduction and hydroxylation of nitro groups. The compound converted to several oxygen-functionalized [3 + 3]cycloalkynes with -OH, -OSiMe2-t-Bu, -OAc, -OTf, or -ONf groups, which are chiral arylene ethynylene macrocycles containing three helicenes. aggregation behaviors these were...
A drastic increase in catalyst turnover number (TON) was accomplished the cross-metathesis of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and vinyl ethers. Under a continuous flow TFE, Ru7, which contains seven-membered N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand, reached TON 4100; this is 2 orders magnitude higher than highest hitherto reported value. Mechanistic studies revealed that expanded NHC successfully destabilizes stable intermediates with difluorocarbene structure, strongly promotes reaction.
Single enantiomers of 1,8-di(1-adamantyl)naphthalenes were synthesized by the [4+2]cycloaddition reaction 6-adamantylbenzyne and 2-adamantylfuran. The resolved conversion into diastereomeric ketopinic acid esters. absolute configuration was determined X-ray analysis. Kinetic studies CD revealed an enantiomerization barrier 29 kcal mol−1 for 1,8-(1-adamantyl)naphthalenes.
The cyclization of acyclic ethynylhelicene oligomers with decyl 3,5-diiodobenzoate under optimized conditions gave the corresponding optically active [n+n]cycloalkynes (n = 4−8) in high yields. Their structures were compared terms ring size by using 1H NMR, UV−vis, and CD spectroscopies vapor pressure osmometry (VPO). UV−vis spectra exhibited an increase absorbance proportion to n. In contrast, macrocycles a large effect, comparable Δε values despite n temperature-dependent properties...
Abstract 1,12-Diethyl- and 1,12-diisopropylbenzo[c]phenanthrene-5,8-dicarboxylic acids were synthesized, resolved. The dihedral angles formed by the A D rings increased in order of diisopropyl < diethyl dimethyl as indicated X-ray analysis, which showed that strain decreased with increase bulkiness at 1,12-groups.
<p> Electrochemical techniques have long been heralded for their innate sustainability as efficient methods achieving redox reactions. Carbonyl desaturation, a fundamental organic oxidation, is an oft-employed transformation to unlock adjacent reactivity. To date, the most reliable it relied on transition metals (Pd/Cu) or stoichiometric reagents based I, Br, Se, S. Herein we report operationally simple pathway such structures from enol silanes and phosphates using electrons primary...
