Facile Construction of Spirocyclopropanated Bi-, Tri- and Tetracyclic Skeletons by Novel Cascades Involving Intra- and Intermolecular Heck Reactions of 2-Bromo-1,6-enynes and Bicyclopropylidene

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 3 2005
Michael Schelper
Abstract Acyclic 2-bromo-1,6-enynes 5 -R, 9 -R and 11 -R with bulky substituents at the acetylenic terminus were co-cyclized with the highly strained bicyclopropylidene (12) under palladium catalysis at 80 °C to give the cross-conjugated tetraenes 13 -R, 18 -R and 19 -R in moderate-to-good yields (34,71%). Only the co-cyclization of 5 -Ph gave rise to an additional product, which was identified as the 11-membered ring 20. At elevated temperatures (120,140 °C) the initially formed tetraenes underwent 6,-electrocyclization to give spiro[cyclopropane-1,4,-bicylo[4.3.0]-1(6),2-dienes] 21 -R, 22 -R and 23 -R. This novel class of spirocyclopropanated oligocycles is also accessible by a one-pot protocol. The highest yields for both the tetraenes and bicyclo[4.3.0]nonadiene and its heteroanalogues were obtained with bulky substituents at the alkyne terminus of the precursors. Heteroatom-containing precursors 9 -R and 11 -R gave lower yields than their all-carbon analogues 5 -R. The acyclic 2-bromo-1,8-dien-6-ynes 28a,b,c upon palladium-catalyzed co-cyclization with bicyclopropylidene (12) at 110 °C gave spirocyclopropanated tricycles 31a,b and 32, respectively, in moderate yields (14, 31 and 32%). These products were formed by two consecutive 6,-electrocyclizations. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2005) [source]

Electrocatalysts: Facile Construction of Pt,Co/CNx Nanotube Electrocatalysts and Their Application to the Oxygen Reduction Reaction (Adv. Mater.

ADVANCED MATERIALS, Issue 48 2009
48/2009)
Pt,Co alloyed nanoparticles can be facilely immobilized onto CNx nanotubes due to the incorporated nitrogen, report Yanwen Ma, Zheng Hu, and co-workers on p. 4953. The as-prepared electrocatalysts exhibit good performance for oxygen reduction reactions in acidic media arising from the high dispersion and alloying effect of Pt,Co nanoparticles, as well as the intrinsic catalytic capacity of CNx nanotubes, which is significant for the development of fuel cells.

A straight forward method for immobilizing Pt,Co alloyed nanoparticles onto nitrogen-doped CNx nanotubes is presented (see image). The as-prepared electrocatalysts exhibit good performance for oxygen reduction reaction in acidic medium arising from the high-dispersion and alloying effect of the Pt,Co nanoparticles and the intrinsic catalytic capacity of the CNx nanotubes.
