A three-component, Zn(OTf)₂-mediated entry into trisubstituted 2-aminoimidazoles.

ABSTRACT: A three-component reaction involving in situ generation of propargylureas and subsequent Zn(OTf)₂-mediated cyclocondensation with a primary amine yielded trisubstituted 2-aminoimidazoles. These findings are in contrast to the previously reported base-promoted unimolecular cyclization of propargylureas (leading to 2-imidazolones) and extend the range of Lewis acid-catalyzed azole syntheses based on N-carbonyl propargylamines.

Zn(OTf)2-mediated annulations of N-propargylated tetrahydrocarbolines: divergent synthesis of four distinct alkaloidal scaffolds.

Project description:Intramolecular hydroarylations of N-propargylated tetrahydrocarbolines were efficiently mediated using a unique combination of Zn(OTf)2 with t-BuOH under neutral conditions. Use of the artificial force induced reaction method in the global reaction route mapping strategy provided insights into the Zn(OTf)2-mediated hydroarylations and the associated intriguing solvent effects of t-BuOH facilitating a protodezincation process without a Brønsted acid activator. We systematically implemented three distinct hydroarylations as well as an unanticipated α-alkenylation of a carbonyl group to obtain the four alkaloidal scaffolds 2-4, and 18. Zn(OTf)2-mediated annulation of 1c proceeded through kinetic formation of the spiroindole 3c followed by an alkenyl shift and concomitant retro-Mannich-type fragmentation to furnish azepino[4,5-b]indole 2 framework. Substituents on substrate 1 in the vicinity of the reaction sites substantially affected the mode of the divergent annulations. Judicious choices of the substituents, solvent and reaction conditions enabled programmable divergent synthesis of the four distinct skeletons.

Synthesis of 1,2,4-Trisubstituted-(1H)-imidazoles through Cu(OTf)2-/I2-Catalyzed C-C Bond Cleavage of Chalcones and Benzylamines.

Project description:1,2,4-Trisubstituted-(1H)-imidazoles have been synthesized by the Cu(OTf)2- and I2-catalyzed unusual C-C bond cleavage of chalcones and benzylamines. After the α,β-unsaturated C-C bond cleavage, the β-portion is eliminated from the reaction. Various aryl- and heteroaryl-substituted chalcones and benzylamines were well tolerated in this unusual transformation to yield the trisubstituted-(1H)-imidazoles.

Mild Cu(OTf)2-Mediated C-Glycosylation with Chelation-Assisted Picolinate as a Leaving Group.

Project description:C-Glycosylation reactions of glycosyl picolinates with allyltrimethylsilane or silyl enol ethers were developed. Picolinate as a chelation-assisted leaving group could be activated by Cu(OTf)2 and avoided the use of harsh Lewis acids. The glycosylations were operated under mild neutral conditions and gave the corresponding C-glycosides in up to 95% yield with moderate to excellent stereoselectivities.

Yb(OTf)3-Catalyzed and Di-tert-butyl Dicarbonate-Mediated Decarboxylative Etherification and Esterification Reactions.

Project description:Protecting group chemistry has invariably captured the fascination of chemists because of its extensive viability in chemical synthesis. The present report describes our pioneer work of applying ytterbium triflate as a catalyst, for the reaction of alcohols with di-tert-butyl dicarbonate (Boc2O) leading to the formation of tert-butyl ethers. There exists no recorded evidence for the use of Yb(OTf)3 as a catalyst for the protection of alcohols to tert-butyl ethers, despite its excellent utility in various reactions. Yb(OTf)3 has been used predominantly in the catalytic deprotection studies such as selective deprotection of tert-butyl esters to carboxylic acids as well as prenyl ethers to alcohols. This study involved the critical evaluation of solvent, time, and temperature that finally led to an efficient protocol for the formation of tert-butyl ethers. Yb(OTf)3 catalyzed the formation of tert-butyl ethers, notably reducing the reaction time, which is exemplified by the achievement of up to 92% conversion of alcohols to tert-butyl ethers within an hour. Additionally, the report demonstrates the utility of this synthetic protocol for the protection of carboxylic acids.

Cu(OTf)2 -Mediated Cross-Coupling of Nitriles and N-Heterocycles with Arylboronic Acids to Generate Nitrilium and Pyridinium Products*.

Project description:Metal-catalyzed C-N cross-coupling generally forms C-N bonds by reductive elimination from metal complexes bearing covalent C- and N-ligands. We have identified a Cu-mediated C-N cross-coupling that uses a dative N-ligand in the bond-forming event, which, in contrast to conventional methods, generates reactive cationic products. Mechanistic studies suggest the process operates via transmetalation of an aryl organoboron to a CuII complex bearing neutral N-ligands, such as nitriles or N-heterocycles. Subsequent generation of a putative CuIII complex enables the oxidative C-N coupling to take place, delivering nitrilium intermediates and pyridinium products. The reaction is general for a range of N(sp) and N(sp2 ) precursors and can be applied to drug synthesis and late-stage N-arylation, and the limitations in the methodology are mechanistically evidenced.

Electrocatalytic Water Oxidation with α-[Fe(mcp)(OTf)2] and Analogues.

Project description:The complex α-[Fe(mcp)(OTf)2] (mcp = N,N'-dimethyl-N,N'-bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine and OTf = trifluoromethanesulfonate anion) was reported in 2011 by some of us as an active water oxidation (WO) catalyst in the presence of sacrificial oxidants. However, because chemical oxidants are likely to take part in the reaction mechanism, mechanistic electrochemical studies are critical in establishing to what extent previous studies with sacrificial reagents have actually been meaningful. In this study, the complex α-[Fe(mcp)(OTf)2] and its analogues were investigated electrochemically under both acidic and neutral conditions. All the systems under investigation proved to be electrochemically active toward the WO reaction, with no major differences in activity despite the structural changes. Our findings show that WO-catalyzed by mcp-iron complexes proceeds via homogeneous species, whereas the analogous manganese complex forms a heterogeneous deposit on the electrode surface. Mechanistic studies show that the reaction proceeds with a different rate-determining step (rds) than what was previously proposed in the presence of chemical oxidants. Moreover, the different kinetic isotope effect (KIE) values obtained electrochemically at pH 7 (KIE ∼ 10) and at pH 1 (KIE = 1) show that the reaction conditions have a remarkable effect on the rds and on the mechanism. We suggest a proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) as the rds under neutral conditions, whereas at pH 1 the rds is most likely an electron transfer (ET).

Ba33Zn22Al8O67 with a Framework of ([O(Zn/Al)4]/Ba)(Zn/AlO4)4 Motifs.

Project description:Single crystals of a new oxide, Ba33Zn22Al8O67 (melting point = 1452 K), were grown in a melt-solidified sample prepared by heating a compact of a BaCO3, ZnO, and Al2O3 mixed powder in a dry airflow. Ba33Zn22Al8O67 can be handled in dry air, but it decomposes into carbonates, hydroxides, and hydrates in humid air. Single-crystal X-ray structure analysis clarified that Ba33Zn22Al8O67 crystallizes in a cubic cell (a = 16.3328 (3) Å, space group F23) having a three-dimensional Zn/AlO4 framework in which {([OZn4]/Ba)(Zn/AlO4)4} motifs are connected to each other by bridging Zn/AlO4 tetrahedra. A Ba atom or a [OZn4] cluster is statistically situated at the center of the motif with a probability of 0.5. Motifs of another type, {([O(Zn/Al)4])(Zn/AlO4)4}, are isolated from the Zn/AlO4 framework. These motifs, {([OZn4]/Ba)(Zn/AlO4)4} and {([O(Zn/Al)4])(Zn/AlO4)4}, are alternatingly arranged along the a axis like a checkered cube, and Ba atoms are situated between the motifs. A linear thermal expansion coefficient of 10.4 × 10-6 K-1 was measured in an Ar gas flow at 301-873 K for a sintered Ba33Zn22Al8O67 polycrystalline sample with a relative density of 73%. A relative permittivity of 31 and a temperature coefficient of 15 ppm K-1 at 301 K were obtained for another sintered sample (relative density = 70%) in a dry airflow. The electrical conductivity at 1073 K and the activation energy for conduction at 923-1073 K measured for the sintered samples in dry and wet airflows were 6.2 × 10-7 S cm-1 and 0.65 eV and 2.9 × 10-6 S cm-1 and 0.59 eV, respectively.

Homogeneous Sc(OTf)3-Catalyzed Direct Allylation Reactions of General Alcohols with Allylsilanes.

Project description:Homogeneous Sc(OTf)3 used in nitromethane showed excellent catalytic activity for the direct allylation reactions of general alcohols including benzylic, propargylic, allylic, and some aliphatic alcohols with allyltrimethylsilane under mild and neutral reaction conditions. Metal-free β-silyl-substituted carbocations are intermediates generated by the highly oxophilic Sc(OTf)3-assisted rapid removal of a hydroxyl group in alcohols, which is supported by the result that allylation of (R)-1-(naphthalen-2-yl)ethan-1-ol with allytrimethylsilanes using the Sc(OTf)3 catalyst combined with (R)- or (S)-[1,1'-binaphthalene]-2,2'-diol ligands gave only racemic 2-(pent-4-en-2-yl)naphthalene in quantitative yield. The present study resolves the argument about the uncertain catalytic activity of Sc(OTf)3.

Crystal structures of Zn(cyclam)I2 (second monoclinic polymorph) and Zn(cyclam)I(I3).

Project description:The asymmetric unit of the first title compound iodido-(1,4,8,11-tetra-aza-cyclo-tetra-decane-κ4 N 1,N 4,N 8,N 11)zinc(II) iodide, [ZnI(C10H24N4)]I, I, consists of the zinc-cyclam macrocyclic cation with one iodide anion coordinated to the metal ion [Zn-I = 2.6619 (5) Å] and the second present as a counter-ion. The asymmetric unit of the second title compound iodido-(1,4,8,11-tetra-aza-cyclo-tetra-decane-κ4 N 1,N 4,N 8,N 11)zinc(II) triiodide, [ZnI(C10H24N4)]I3, II, consists of half of the centrosymmetric macrocyclic cation, in which the ZnII ion coordinated to an iodide anion [Zn-I = 2.766 (2) Å] is disordered over two positions [Zn⋯Zn = 0.810 (3) Å], and of the two halves of the crystallographically non-equivalent, non-coordinated, centrosymmetric triiodide anions. In both compounds, the N,N,N,N-tetra-dentate macrocyclic ligand is present in the most energetically favored trans-III conformation. In the crystals of I, the [Zn(C10H24N4)I]+ cations and the non-coordinated iodide anions are linked by N-H⋯I and bifurcated N-H⋯(I,I) hydrogen bonds, resulting in the formation of two-dimensional networks lying parallel to the (001) and (101) planes. In contrast, the crystals of II are built up from infinite chains of the five-coordinate macrocyclic units arranged along the b-axis direction and perpendicular sheets formed of the triiodide counter-ions without significant hydrogen bonding between them.

Influence of Zn+2 Doping on Ni-Based Nanoferrites; (Ni1-x ZnxFe2O4).

Project description:Nickel zinc nanoferrites (Ni1-xZnxFe2O4) were synthesized via a chemical co-precipitation method having stoichiometric proportion (x) altering from 0.00 to 1.00 in steps of 0.25. The synthesized nanoparticles were sintered at 800 °C for 12 h. X-ray diffraction patterns illustrate that the nanocrystalline cubic spinel ferrites have been obtained after sintering. The Scherrer formula is used to evaluate the particle size using the extreme intense peak (311). The experimental results demonstrate that precipitated particles' size was in the range of 20-60 nm. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is used to investigate the elemental configuration and morphological characterizations of all the prepared samples. FTIR spectroscopy data for respective sites were examined in the range of 300-1000 cm-1. The higher frequency band ?1 were assigned due to tetrahedral complexes while lower frequency band ?2 were allocated due to octahedral complexes. Our experimental results demonstrate that the lattice constant a0 increases while lattice strain decreases with increasing zinc substitution in nickel zinc nanoferrites.
