Selected AbstractsMono- and Dimetallic Cyano Complexes with {Mo(,3 -allyl)(CO)2(N,N)} FragmentsEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 6 2003Julio Pérez Abstract Treatment of [MoCl(,3 -allyl)(CO)2(phen)] with NaCN in CH2Cl2/MeOH afforded [Mo(CN)(,3 -allyl)(CO)2(phen)] [allyl = C3H5 (1a); 2-MeC3H4 (1b)] as the sole products (no products of cyanide attack on the allyl group were detected). Treatment of 1a,b with [Mo(OTf)(,3 -C3H5)(CO)2(phen)] and NaBAr,4 in CH2Cl2 yielded the compounds [{Mo(,3allyl)(CO)2(phen)}(,-CN){Mo(,3 -C3H5)(CO)2(phen)}]BAr,4 (2a,b). Analogous treatment of 1a with fac -[M(OTf)(CO)3(bipy)] (M = Mn, Re) and NaBAr,4 resulted in the synthesis of [{Mo(,3 -C3H5)(CO)2(phen)}(,-CN){M(CO)3(bipy)}]BAr,4 (3, 4), in which the C and N atoms of the cyano bridge are bonded to Mo and M (M = Mn, Re), respectively. The linkage isomer of 4 (C and N atoms of the cyano group bonded to Re and Mo, respectively) (6) was prepared by treatment of [Re(CN)(CO)3(bipy)] (5) with [Mo(OTf)(,3 -C3H5)(CO)2(phen)] and NaBAr,4. Compounds 1a, 2b, 3, and 6 were characterized by X-ray diffraction. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Interestingly, in contrast to the iodine-catalyzed reactions of 3-alkoxy-,-lactam aldehydes which lead to the corresponding ,-lactam derivatives (rearrangement adducts), the reactions of 3-aryloxy-,-lactam aldehydes under similar conditions gave ,-lactam-fused chromanes (cyclization adducts) as the sole products, through exclusive electrophilic aromatic substitution involving the C3 aromatic ring and the carbaldehyde. In order to support the mechanistic proposals, theoretical studies have been performed. [source] Efficient Propargylation of Aldehydes and Ketones Catalyzed by Titanocene(III)ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 14-15 2009José Justicia Abstract We describe a novel method for the propargylation of a wide range of aldehydes and ketones catalyzed by titanocene(III) complexes under mild reaction conditions and compatible with many functional groups. Homopropargylic alcohols are obtained as the sole products even when ketones are used as starting materials, which is unusual in Barbier-type propargylations. [source] Highly Efficient Halogenation of Organic Compounds with Halides Catalyzed by Cerium(III) Chloride Heptahydrate Using Hydrogen Peroxide as the Terminal Oxidant in WaterADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 11-12 2009Habib Firouzabadi Abstract In this article a new environmentally friendly catalytic method is described for the efficient monoiodination and bromination of arenes and also iodoetherification and iodolactonization of olefins using hydrogen peroxide as the terminal oxidant. The method is based on using sodium iodide or sodium bromide, hydrogen peroxide (35%) and cerium(III) chloride as an effective catalyst in water at room temperature or under reflux conditions. By this protocol, iodination of anilines proceeded with high regioselectivity at the para position with the formation of small amounts of the ortho isomers. However, bromination of anilines proceeded with absolute regioselectivity to give the para isomers as the sole products in high yields. Iodinations and brominations of m -xylene, toluene, chloro- and bromobenzenes were proceeded with excellent regioselectivity to produce the para isomers as the sole products. Benzene was also halogenated by this catalytic system to give the monohalogenated benzene in good yields. Iodoetherification and iodolactonization of olefins also proceeded easily in high yields at room temperature. However, the bromination of olefins by this protocol failed and the starting materials were detected intact. [source] |
