Structural elucidation of a methylenation reagent of esters: synthesis and reactivity of a dinuclear titanium(iii) methylene complex.

ABSTRACT: Transmetallation of a zinc methylene complex [ZnI(tmeda)]₂(μ-CH₂) with a titanium(iii) chloride [TiCl₃(tmeda)(thf)] produced a titanium methylene complex. The X-ray diffraction study displayed a dinuclear methylene structure [TiCl(tmeda)]₂(μ-CH₂)(μ-Cl)₂. Treatment of an ester with the titanium methylene complex resulted in methylenation of the ester carbonyl to form a vinyl ether. The titanium methylene complex also reacted with a terminal olefin, resulting in olefin-metathesis and olefin-homologation. Cyclopropanation by methylene transfer from the titanium methylene proceeded by use of a 1,3-diene. The mechanistic study of the cyclopropanation reaction by the density functional theory calculations was also reported.

Synthesis and reactivity of alkyl-1,1,1-trisphosphonate esters.

Project description:The ?-trisphosphonic acid esters provide a unique spatial arrangement of three phosphonate groups and may represent an attractive motif for inhibitors of enzymes that utilize di- or triphosphate substrates. To advance studies of this unique functionality, a general route to alkyl derivatives of the parent system (R = H) has been developed. A set of new ?-alkyl-1,1,1-trisphosphonate esters has been prepared through phosphinylation and subsequent oxidation of tetraethyl alkylbisphosphonates, and the reactivity of these new compounds has been studied in representative reactions that afford additional examples of this functionality.

Synthesis and Reactivity of ?-Haloglycine Esters: Hyperconjugation in Action.

Project description:A general and efficient synthesis of ?-haloglycine esters from commercially available feedstock chemicals, in a single step, is reported. The reactivity of these ?-haloglycine esters with various nucleophiles was studied as surrogates of ?-iminoesters upon activation with hydrogen-bond donor catalysts. DFT calculations on the ?-haloglycine structures (X = F, Cl, Br) accompanied by an X-ray characterization of the ?-bromoglycine ester support the existence of a "generalized" anomeric effect created by hyperconjugation. This peculiar hyperconjugative effect is proposed to be responsible for the enhanced halogen nucleofugality leading to a facile halogen abstraction by hydrogen-bond donor catalysts. This reactivity was exploited with thiourea catalysts on several catalytic transformations (aza-Friedel-Crafts and Mannich reactions) for the synthesis of several types of non-proteinogenic ?-amino esters.

Mechanism and transition state structure of aryl methylphosphonate esters doubly coordinated to a dinuclear cobalt(III) center.

Project description:Reactivities of five phosphonate esters each coordinated to a dinuclear Co(III) complex were investigated ([Co(2)(tacn)(2)(OH)(2){O(2)P(Me)OAr}](3+); tacn = 1,4,7-triazacyclononane; substituent = m-F, p-NO(2) (1a); p-NO(2) (1b); m-NO(2) (1c); p-Cl (1d); unsubstituted (1e)). Hydrolysis of the phosphonate esters in 1a to 1e is specific base catalyzed and takes place by intramolecular oxide attack on the bridging phosphonate. These data define a Brønsted beta(lg) of -1.12, considerably more negative than that of the hydrolysis of the uncomplexed phosphonates (-0.69). For 1b, the kinetic isotope effects in the leaving group are (18)k(lg) = 1.0228 and (15)k = 1.0014, at the nonbridging phosphoryl oxygens (18)k(nonbridge) = 0.9954, and at the nucleophilic oxygen(18)k(nuc) = 1.0105. The KIEs and the beta(lg) data point to a transition state for the alkaline hydrolysis of 1b that is similar to that of a phosphate monoester complex with the same leaving group, rather than the isoelectronic diester complex. The data from these model systems parallel the observation that in protein phosphatase-1, which has an active site that resembles the structures of these complexes, the catalyzed hydrolysis of aryl methylphosphonates and aryl phosphates are much more similar to one another than the uncomplexed hydrolysis reactions of the two substrates.

Reactivity of uranium(iii) with H2E (E = S, Se, Te): synthesis of a series of mononuclear and dinuclear uranium(iv) hydrochalcogenido complexes.

Project description:We report the syntheses, electronic properties, and molecular structures of a series of mono- and dinuclear uranium(iv) hydrochalcogenido complexes supported by the sterically demanding but very flexible, single N-anchored tris(aryloxide) ligand (AdArO)3N)3-. The mononuclear complexes [((AdArO)3N)U(DME)(EH)] (E = S, Se, Te) can be obtained from the reaction of the uranium(iii) starting material [((AdArO)3N)UIII(DME)] in DME via reduction of H2E and the elimination of 0.5 equivalents of H2. The dinuclear complexes [{((AdArO)3N)U}2(?-EH)2] can be obtained by dissolving their mononuclear counterparts in non-coordinating solvents such as benzene. In order to facilitate the work with the highly toxic gases, we created concentrated THF solutions that can be handled using simple glovebox techniques and can be stored at -35 °C for several weeks.

Subphthalocyaninato Boron(III) Hydride: Synthesis, Structure and Reactivity.

Project description:Subphthalocyanine (SubPc) chemistry has been limited so far by their high sensitivity toward strong nucleophiles. In particular, the substitution of the axial chlorine atom by a nucleophilic group in the case of less-reactive SubPcs, such as those bearing electron-withdrawing peripheral substituents, presents some limitations and requires harsh conditions. By taking advantage of the electrophilic character of DIBAL-H, it has been possible to prepare for the first time SubPc-hydride derivatives that exhibit high reactivity as hydroboration reagents of aldehydes. This hydride transfer requires using a typical carbonyl activator (trimethylsilyl triflate) and only one equivalent of aldehyde, affording SubPcs with an axial benzyloxy group in good yield. This transformation has proven to be a useful alternative method for the axial functionalisation of dodecafluoroSubPc, a paradigmatic SubPc derivative, by using electrophiles for the first time. Considering the increasing interest in SubPcs as electron-acceptor semiconductors with remarkable absorption in the visible range to replace fullerene in organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices, it is of the utmost importance to develop new synthetic methodologies for their axial functionalisation.

Synthesis, Reactivity and Structural Properties of Trifluoromethylphosphoranides.

Project description:Phosphoranides are interesting hypervalent species which serve as model compounds for intermediates or transition states in nucleophilic substitution reactions at trivalent phosphorus substrates. Herein, the syntheses and properties of stable trifluoromethylphosphoranide salts are reported. [K(18-crown-6)][P(CF3 )4 ], [K(18-crown-6)][P(CF3 )3 F], and [NMe4 ][P(CF3 )2 F2 ] were obtained by treatment of trivalent precursors with sources of CF3 - or F- units. These [P(CF3 )4-n Fn ]- (n=0-2) salts exhibit fluorinating (n=1-2) or trifluoromethylating (n=0) properties, which is disclosed by studying their reactivity towards selected electrophiles. The solid-state structures of [K(18-crown-6)][P(CF3 )4 ] and [K(18-crown-6)][P(CF3 )3 F] are ascertained by single crystal X-ray crystallography. The dynamics of these compounds are investigated by variable temperature NMR spectroscopy.

Mononuclear Manganese(III) Superoxo Complexes: Synthesis, Characterization, and Reactivity.

Project description:Metal-superoxo species are typically proposed as key intermediates in the catalytic cycle of dioxygen activation by metalloenzymes involving different transition metal cofactors. In this regard, while a series of Fe-, Co-, and Ni-superoxo complexes have been reported to date, well-defined Mn-superoxo complexes remain rather rare. Herein, we report two mononuclear MnIII-superoxo species, Mn(BDPP)(O2•-) (2, H2BDPP = 2,6-bis((2-(S)-diphenylhydroxylmethyl-1-pyrrolidinyl)methyl)pyridine) and Mn(BDPBrP)(O2•-) (2', H2BDPBrP = 2,6-bis((2-(S)-di(4-bromo)phenylhydroxyl-methyl-1-pyrrolidinyl)methyl)pyridine), synthesized by bubbling O2 into solutions of their MnII precursors, Mn(BDPP) (1) and Mn(BDPBrP) (1'), at -80 °C. A combined spectroscopic (resonance Raman and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy) and computational study evidence that both complexes contain a high-spin MnIII center (SMn = 2) antiferromagnetically coupled to a superoxo radical ligand (SOO• = 1/2), yielding an overall S = 3/2 ground state. Complexes 2 and 2' were shown to be capable of abstracting a H atom from 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-hydroxypiperidine (TEMPO-H) to form MnIII-hydroperoxo species, Mn(BDPP)(OOH) (5) and Mn(BDPBrP)(OOH) (5'). Complexes 5 and 5' can be independently prepared by the reactions of the isolated MnIII-aqua complexes, [Mn(BDPP)(H2O)]OTf (6) and [Mn(BDPBrP)(H2O)]OTf (6'), with H2O2 in the presence of NEt3. The parallel-mode EPR measurements established a high-spin S = 2 ground state for 5 and 5'.

Hydrothermal Synthesis and Structure of a Dinuclear Molybdenum(III) Hydroxy Squarate with a Mo-Mo Bond.

Project description:The reaction of molybdenum(II) and chromium(II) acetates with squaric acid in degassed and deionized water under hydrothermal conditions at 150 °C is described. The products have been formulated as M2(?-OH)2(?-C4O4)2(H2O)4·2H2O, where M = Cr (1) and Mo (2), based on combustion elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, magic angle spinning (MAS) solid-state carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The edge-shared bioctahedral structures involve doubly bridging hydroxide ligands and ?-squarate ligands. The chromium compound lacks a direct metal-metal-bonding interaction, while in contrast the molybdenum compound contains a Mo-Mo bond [2.491(2) Å]. The nature of the Mo-Mo-bonding interaction is compared with that of other similar d3-d3 dimers.

Photo-redox reactivity of titanium-oxo clusters: mechanistic insight into a two-electron intramolecular process, and structural characterisation of mixed-valent Ti(iii)/Ti(iv) products.

Project description:Small titanium-oxo-alkoxide clusters, [TiO(OR)(O2PR'2)]4, synthesised by the stoichiometric reaction of Ti(OiPr)4, phosphinic acid and water, undergo a photo-redox transformation under long-wave UV light. The photo-reaction generates blue coloured, mixed-valence Ti(iii)/Ti(iv)-oxo clusters alongside acetone and isopropanol by-products. This reactivity indicates the ability for photoactivated charge separation to occur in even the smallest of Ti-oxo clusters. EPR and NMR spectroscopic studies support a photo-redox mechanism that occurs via an intramolecular, two-electron pathway, directly relating to current doubling effects observed at TiO2 photoanodes in the presence of alcohols. The rate of photo-reaction is solvent dependent, with donor solvents supporting the formation of low coordinate Ti(iii) sites. The nature of the electronic transition is identified by DFT and TDDFT calculations as an oxygen to titanium charge transfer and it is possible to finetune the UV absorption onset observed by changing the phosphinate ligand. A two-electron photo-reduced cluster, [Ti4O4(O2PPh2)6], forms spontaneously from the photo-reaction and its structure is identified by X-ray crystallography with supporting DFT calculations. These indicate that [Ti4O4(O2PPh2)6] is high-spin and contains two ferromagnetically coupled electrons delocalised over the Ti4 core. [Ti4O4(O2PPh2)6] undergoes rapid oxidation in air in the solid-state and performs a remarkable single-crystal to single-crystal transformation, to form a stable cluster-superoxide salt.

Rh(III)-catalyzed regioselective synthesis of pyridines from alkenes and ?,?-unsaturated oxime esters.

Project description:?,?-Unsaturated O-pivaloyl oximes are coupled to alkenes by Rh(III) catalysis to afford substituted pyridines. The reaction with activated alkenes is exceptionally regioselective and high-yielding. Mechanistic studies suggest that heterocycle formation proceeds via reversible C-H activation, alkene insertion, and a C-N bond formation/N-O bond cleavage process.
