- Triruthenium carbonyl clusters derived from chiral aminooxazolines: Synthesis and catalytic activity
-
Treatment of [Ru3(CO)12] with the chiral aminooxazolines (+)-2-amino-(4R)-phenyl-2-oxazoline (H2amphox), (+)-2-amino-(4R,5S)-indanyl-2-oxazoline (H2aminox) and (+)-2-(2′-anilinyl)-(4R,5S)-indanyl-2-oxazoline (H2aninox) in THF at reflux temperature, affords the complexes [Ru3(-H)( 3-κ2-Hox-N,N)(CO)9] (H2ox = H2amphox, 1; H2aminox, 2) and [Ru3(-H)(- κ2-Haninox-N,N)(CO)9] (3). In all cases, the activation of an N-H bond has occurred and the resulting amido fragment spans an edge of the metal triangle, while the N atom of the oxazoline ring is attached to the remaining metal atom (as in 1 and 2), or to one of the metal atoms of the bridged edge (as in 3). The use of 1-3 as catalyst precursors in the asymmetric hydrogen-transfer reduction of acetophenone and in the asymmetric cycloaddition of cyclopentadiene and acroleine is reported.

- Bis-selenonium Cations as Bidentate Chalcogen Bond Donors in Catalysis
-
Lewis acids are frequently employed in catalysis but they often suffer from high moisture sensitivity. In many reactions, catalysts are deactivated because of the problem that strong Lewis acids also bond to the products. In this research, hydrolytically stable bidentate Lewis acid catalysts derived from selenonium dicationic centers have been developed. The bis-selenonium catalysts are employed in the activation of imine and carbonyl groups in various transformations with good yields and selectivity. Lewis acidity of the bis-selenonium salts was found to be stronger than that of the monoselenonium systems, attributed to the synergistic effect of the two cationic selenonium centers. In addition, the bis-selenonium catalysts are not inhibited by strong bases or moisture.

- Improving the efficiency of the Diels-Alder process by using flow chemistry and zeolite catalysis
-
The industrial application of the Diels-Alder reaction for the atom-efficient synthesis of (hetero)cyclic compounds constitutes an important challenge. Safety and purity concerns, related to the instability of the polymerization prone diene and/or dienophile, limit the scalability of the production capacity of Diels-Alder products in a batch mode. To tackle these problems, the use of a high-pressure continuous microreactor process was considered. In order to increase the yields and the selectivity towards the endo-isomer, commercially available zeolites were used as a heterogeneous catalyst in a microscale packed bed reactor. As a result, a high conversion (≥95%) and endo-selectivity (89:11) were reached for the reaction of cyclopentadiene and methyl acrylate, using a 1:1 stoichiometry. A throughput of 0.87 g h-1 during at least 7 h was reached, corresponding to a 3.5 times higher catalytic productivity and a 14 times higher production of Diels-Alder adducts in comparison to the heterogeneous lab-scale batch process. Catalyst deactivation was hardly observed within this time frame. Moreover, complete regeneration of the zeolite was demonstrated using a straightforward calcination procedure.

- Method for preparing 5-norbornene-2-formaldehyde in microstructure reactor
-
The invention relates to a method for preparing 5-norbornene-2-formaldehyde in a microstructure reactor. 5-Norbornene-2-formaldehyde is generated through a Diels-Alder reaction of acrolein and cyclopentadiene in the microstructure reactor. Present industrial production technologies have the disadvantages of long reaction time and difficult removal of generated polymers adhered to a reaction device. The method for preparing 5-norbornene-2-formaldehyde in the microstructure reactor at a high temperature under a high pressure has the advantages of short reaction time and no generation of solids.

- Ruthenium Lewis Acid-Catalyzed Asymmetric Diels–Alder Reactions: Reverse-Face Selectivity for α,β-Unsaturated Aldehydes and Ketones
-
Acrolein, methacrolein, methyl vinyl ketone, ethyl vinyl ketone, 3-methyl-3-en-2-one, and divinyl ketone were coordinated to a cationic cyclopentadienyl ruthenium(II) Lewis acid incorporating the electron-poor bidentate BIPHOP–F ligand. Analysis by NOESY and ROESY NMR techniques allowed the determination of conformations of enals and enones present in solution in CD2Cl2. The results were compared to solid-state structures and to the facial selectivities of catalytic asymmetric Diels–Alder reactions with cyclopentadiene. X-Ray structures of four Ru-enal and Ru-enone complexes show the α,β-unsaturated C=O compounds to adopt an anti-s-trans conformation. In solution, enals assume both anti-s-trans and anti-s-cis conformations. An additional conformation, syn-s-trans, is present in enone complexes. Enantioface selectivity in the cycloaddition reactions differs for enals and enones. Reaction products indicate enals to react exclusively in the anti-s-trans conformation, whereas with enones, the major product results from the syn-s-trans conformation. The alkene in s-cis conformations, while present in solution, is shielded and cannot undergo cycloaddition. A syn-s-trans conformation is found in the solid state of the bulky 6,6-dimethyl cyclohexanone-Ru(II) complex. The X-ray structure of divinyl ketone is unique in that the Ru(II) center binds the enone via a η2bond to one of the alkene moieties. In solution, coordination to Ru–C=O oxygen is adopted. A comparison of facial preference is also made to the corresponding indenyl Lewis acids.

- Remote Tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane-Assisted Chiral Phosphoric Acid Catalysts for the Enantioselective Diels-Alder Reaction
-
Tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane-assisted chiral supramolecular phosphoric acid catalysts were developed for the model Diels-Alder reaction of α-substituted acroleins with cyclopentadiene. Two remotely coordinated tris(pentafluorophenyl)boranes should help to increase the Bronsted acidity of the active center in the supramolecular catalyst and create effective bulkiness for the chiral cavity. The prepared supramolecular catalysts acted as not only conjugated Bronsted acid-Bronsted base catalysts but also bifunctional Lewis acid-Bronsted base catalysts with the addition of a central achiral Lewis acid source such as catecholborane.

- Chiral Dawson-Type Hybrid Polyoxometalate Catalyzes Enantioselective Diels-Alder Reactions
-
Can achiral organocatalysts linked to chiral polyanionic metal oxide clusters provide good selectivity in enantioselective C-C bond formations? The answer to this question is investigated by developing a new active hybrid polyoxometalate-based catalyst for asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction. Chirality transfer from the chiral anionic polyoxometalate to the covalently linked achiral imidazolidinone allows Diels-Alder cycloaddition products to be obtained with good yields and high enantioselectivities when using cyclopentadiene and acrylaldehydes as partners.

- PRODUCTION METHOD OF EXO-TYPE NORBORNENE COMPOUND
-
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a production method of a norbornene compound, in particular, exo-enriched 2-acyl-5-norbornene containing many exo isomers, which is useful as a source material precursor of monomers for electronic materials and optical materials. SOLUTION: The production method of an exo-type norbornene compound is characterized by bringing an endo-type norbornene compound having an acyl group at a second position expressed by the formula below into contact with a tertiary amino compound (B) to carry out epimerization. The production method is carried out in a batch process where distillation purification is performed after the reaction or in a continuous process where purification is performed by reactive distillation. In the formula, R represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group or a phenyl group which may have a substituent. COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPOandINPIT

- Carbocations as lewis acid catalysts in diels-alder and Michael addition reactions
-
In general, Lewis acid catalysts are metal-based compounds that owe their reactivity to a low-lying empty orbital. However, one potential Lewis acid that has received negligible attention as a catalyst is the carbocation. We have demonstrated the potential of the carbocation as a highly powerful Lewis acid catalyst for organic reactions. The stable and easily available triphenylmethyl (trityl) cation was found to be a highly efficient catalyst for the Diels-Alder reaction for a range of substrates. Catalyst loadings as low as 500 ppm, excellent yields, and good endo/exo selectivities were achieved. Furthermore, by changing the electronic properties of the substituents on the tritylium ion, the Lewis acidity of the catalyst could be tuned to control the outcome of the reaction. The ability of this carbocation as a Lewis acid catalyst was also further extended to the Michael reaction. Copyright

- The potential of methylsiloxanes as solvents for synthetic chemistry applications
-
The potential use of volatile methylsiloxanes (VMSs) as solvents for chemicals synthesis has been explored. Assessment of the environmental impact of these VMS solvents is made and found to be significantly lower than those of the non-polar organic solvents that they have the potential to replace. The polarities of the VMSs, as expressed by empirical polarity measurements, and miscibilities with other liquids are found to be similar to those of alkane solvents. Finally, some uses of VMSs as solvents for both organic and inorganic transformations are described. The VMSs provide environmentally more sustainable (greener) alternatives to the nonpolar solvents that they have the potential to replace.

- Enantioselective catalysts based on the chiral fragment (η5-C5Me5)Ir(Prophos) for Diels-Alder reactions
-
The aqua complex (SIr,RC)-[(η5-C 5Me5)Ir(Prophos)(H2O)][SbF6] 2 [Prophos = (R)-propane-1,2-diyl-bis(diphenylphosphane)] is an active precursor for the asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction of acyclic enals with cyclopentadiene, 2,3-dimethylbutadiene and isoprene. Enantioselectivities up to 78% ee are achieved. The intermediate Lewis acid-dienophile complex (S Ir,RC)-[(η5-C5Me 5)Ir(Prophos)(ethyl acrolein)][SbF6]2 has been isolated and completely characterized, including the X-ray crystal structure determination. Structural parameters indicate that the disposition of the coordinated dienophile is controlled by CH/π attractive interactions established between a phenyl group of the Prophos ligand and the aldehyde proton of the coordinated enal. Proton NMR data indicate that these interactions are maintained in solution. From diffractometric and spectroscopic data, the origin of the enantioselectivity is discussed.

- Application of electron-withdrawing coordinatively unsaturated η6-arene β-diketiminato-Ruthenium complexes in Lewis acid catalyzed Diels-Alder reactions
-
Utilizing the aza-Wittig reaction involving the ylid 3,5-(CF 3)2C6H3NPPh3 and 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro-2,4-pentanedione, a highly fluorinated and electron-withdrawing β-diketiminate was obtained. Using strong bases, nBuLi, Ag2O, or TlOEt, the corresponding β-diketiminato-Li, -Ag, or -Tl chelated complexes were prepared. Subsequent in situ transmetalation with (Ru(η6-C6H6)Cl2) 2 or (Ru(η6-p-cymene)Cl2)2 afforded the half-sandwich chloro-substituted Ru(II) β-diketimino complexes in high yield. The synthesis of the Lewis acidic catalysts featuring a vacant coordination site at the metal center was accomplished using [Na]BArF (BArF = tetrakis[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]boron). These complexes are active for the Lewis acid catalyzed Diels-Alder reaction between α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, that is, methacrolein, acrolein, and dienes, that is, cyclopentadiene and 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene, with conversions in the range of 66-98% under mild conditions. Whereas the herein described catalysts generally promote exo selectivity of the [4 + 2] cycloaddition between methacrolein and cyclopentadiene, the reaction involving acrolein shows predominantly the formation of the endo adduct, similar to that observed for the noncatalyzed reaction. Importantly, the coordinatively unsaturated complexes demonstrate moderate Lewis acidity, which allows for the controlled reaction between methacrolein and 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene to 1,3,4-trimethyl-3-cyclohexene-1- carboxaldehyde without further isomerization to the bicyclic ketone, which is in contrast to strong Lewis acidic catalysts based on transition metals or main-group elements reported in the literature.

- Erbium triflate in ionic liquids: A recyclable system of improving selectivity in Diels-Alder reactions
-
The efficiency of Er(OTf)3 in promoting the Diels-Alder reactions between different dienes and dienophiles in ionic liquids has been investigated. Compared with the analogous cycloadditions performed in conventional solvents shorter reaction times are required to obtain good/excellent yields. In most cases an enhancement of regio- and endo:exo selectivity was observed. The role of the ionic liquid, as a function of the cationic part, i.e. the imidazolium based or the pyridinium based, is discussed well. The ILs containing the catalyst can be readily separated from the reaction products and recovered in very high purity for direct reuse, up to six cycles.

- A Tin-tungsten mixed oxide as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for C-C Bond Bond-Forming reactions
-
The tin-tungsten mixed oxide prepared by the calcination of the tin-tungsten hydroxide precursor with a Sn/W molar ratio of 2 at 800 °C (SnW2-800) acts as an effective and reusable solid catalyst for C-C bond-forming reactions, such as the cyclization of citronellal, the Diels-Alder reaction, and the cyanosilylation of carbonyl compounds with trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN). Various kinds of structurally diverse aliphatic, aromatic, and unsaturated, heteroatom-containing substrates could be converted into the desired products in high to excellent yields. The observed catalyses for these reactions were truly heterogeneous and the recovered catalyst could be reused several times without an appreciable loss of its high catalytic performance. The Bronsted acid sites generated on the aggregated polytungstate species on SnW2-800 likely play an important role in the C-C bond-forming reactions.

The Diels-Alder reaction has been examined in room temperature ionic liquids with high molar concentrations of Lewis acids under various conditions. A molar ratio of 10% catalyst gave a large increase in the selectivity and the yield of the reaction. The effect of catalysts on reaction rates was also examined under 100 MPa of pressure which leads to modest improvements in reaction rates. Ultrasound and microwave dielectric heating were also shown to improve the rate and, to a minor extent, selectivity of the examined reactions. Copyright

- A rationalization of the solvent effect on the Diels-Alder reaction in ionic liquids using multiparameter linear solvation energy relationships
-
The Diels-Alder reaction between cyclopentadiene and three dienophiles (acrolein, methyl acrylate and acrylonitrile) having different hydrogen bond acceptor abilities has been carried out in several ionic liquids and molecular solvents in order to obtain information about the factors affecting reactivity and selectivity. The solvent effects on these reactions are examined using multiparameter linear solvation energy relationships. The collected data provide evidence that the solvent effects are a function of both the solvent and the solute. For a solvent effect to be seen, the solute must have a complimentary character; selectivities and rates are determined by the solvent hydrogen bond donation ability (α) in the reactions of acrolein and methyl acrylate, but not of acrylonitrile.

They were characterized by 1H and 31P{1H} NMR spectroscopies and, in the case of the complex [Pt(dppeO-κ2-P,O)2][BF4]2, also by X-ray crystallography. These complexes were tested as catalysts in some Diels-Alder and oxidation reactions with different substrates. In the latter reaction Pt(II) complexes showed moderate activity, while for the former one, both classes of complexes were active in the C-C coupling, in particular the Pt(II) species showed interesting high endo/exo diasteroselectivity depending on the counteranion.

A series of 1-catalyzed Diels-Alder reactions were investigated under conventional heating or microwave heating conditions. The cycloaddition reactions were efficiently conducted in either water or in an ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate. The ionic liquid acts as a powerful medium not only for rate- and selectivity enhancements but also for facilitating catalyst recycling. Dramatic rate acceleration via microwave flash heating as compared to thermal heating was observed. Graphical Abstract

The mode of catalysis by the PHANOLs is via double hydrogen bonding to the two sp2 lone pairs of a carbonyl group or the two lone pairs of the epoxide. The order of activity of the PHANOLs for catalysis of the Diels-Alder reaction essentially correlates with the expected hydrogen-bond donor strength based on the degree of electron-withdrawing capability of the group(s) in the para position. In contrast, ortho-substituted PHANOLs 10, 11 and 14 were not active as catalysts due to steric interference with the double hydrogen bonding mode. 1H NMR and IR spectral data for the various PHANOLs are discussed in support of the proposed double hydrogen bond mode.

- Planar chiral PHANOLS as organocatalysts for the Diels-Alder reaction via double hydrogen-bonding to a carbonyl group
-
Planar chiral PHANOLs have been shown to catalyze Diels-Alder reactions of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones with various dienes. Rate accelerations of up to ca. 30-fold were obtained using the electron deficient 4,12-dihydroxy-7,15-dinitro[2.2]paracyclophane as a catalyst. It is proposed that the carbonyl group of the dienophile is activated via a double hydrogen-bonding mode. Although the PHANOLs are inherently chiral, little or no asymmetric induction was observed when using enantiopure (R)-PHANOL.

- Hydroxyapatite-bound cationic ruthenium complexes as novel heterogeneous Lewis acid catalysts for Diels-Alder and aldol reactions
-
Creation of a stable and well-defined active center on a solid surface is a promising protocol for designing more efficient hybrid-catalysts that bridge the gap between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. Treatment of a hydroxyapatite-bound Ru complex (RuHAP) with an aqueous solution of AgX (X = SbF6-, TfO-) afforded a new type of cationic Ru phosphate complex, having potentially vacant coordination sites. These cationic RuHAPs exhibited Lewis acidity toward carbonyl and cyano groups, promoting Diels-Alder and Aldol reactions with high efficiencies. Moreover, no Ru leaching was detected in the above organic reactions, and then the catalysts were recyclable. Copyright

- Enantioselective Diels-Alder reactions with N-hydroxy-N-phenylacrylamide
-
Matrix presented The use of hydroxamic acids as templates for Lewis acid catalyzed enantioselective Diels-Alder reactions has been examined. A very simple chiral Lewis acid, prepared by mixing optically pure binaphthol with 3 equiv of trimethylaluminum, catalyzes the [4 + 2] cycloaddition of N-hydroxy-N-phenylacrylamide with cyclopentadiene at 0°C in high yield (>96%) and with a fairly good level of enantioselectivity (91% ee). Facile conversion of the products to the corresponding alcohols or aldehydes makes the hydroxamic acid intermediates particularly useful.

- Divergent synthesis of two precursors of 3′-homo-2′-deoxy- and 2′-homo-3′-deoxy-carbocyclic nucleosides
-
Aminocyclopentanedimethanols 4 and 5, which are of interest for the synthesis of higher homologues of 2′-deoxy- and 3′-deoxycarbonucleosides, respectively, were efficiently prepared by divergent routes starting from (±)-exo-bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2-carbaldehyde. In the key step, ammonolysis of the common intermediate (±)-(1β,3β,4α)-4-benzoyloxymethyl-1,3- cyclopentanedicarboxylic anhydride and subsequent esterification afford near-equimolar amounts of two easily separable isomeric carbamoyl esters.

- Highly efficient enantioselective catalysis in supercritical carbon dioxide using the perfluoroalkyl-substituted ligand (R,S)-3-H2F6-BINAPHOS
-
Perfluoroalkyl-substitution of the aryl groups in the BINAPHOS skeleton was achieved using a synthetic strategy based on the Cu(I)-catalyzed cross coupling of arylmagnesium bromide and F(CF2)6(CH2)2I. The rhodium complexes of the new ligand (R,S)-3-H2F6-BINAPHOS (10) exhibited spectroscopic properties and reactivities similar to those of the unsubstituted parent compounds. The substitution provided a high affinity of the ligand and its complexes for scCO2 allowing the development of ecologically benign protocols for catalytic asymmetric synthesis and even the spectroscopic detection of catalytically active intermediates. Using this new system, a large variety of substrates were hydroformylated in scCO2 with rates and enantioselectivities comparable to those of the parent system in benzene solution. At the same time, the CO2-philic substitution pattern resulted in a significantly higher regioselectivity towards the desired chiral aldehydes. Preliminary results indicated for the first time also a remarkable potential of BINAPHOS-derived ligands for asymmetric hydrogenation reactions. The possibility to develop new work-up schemes for product purification and/or catalyst immobilisation based on scCO2 as the only medium for catalysis and extraction (CESS process) was experimentally verified using a rhodium catalyst containing 10.

- Application of arylboron difluoride Lewis acid catalysts to the Diels- Alder reaction: Convenient, non-volatile alternatives to boron trifluoride
-
Comparative studies were carded out on boron trifluoride etherate, phenylboron difluoride and meta-nitrophenylboron difluoride for the Lewis acid catalysed Diels-Alder reaction of cyclopentadiene and a range of standard dienophiles in tetrahydrofuran solution. Phenylboron difluoride showed remarkably similar reactivity in terms of yield and endo to exo selectivity to boron trifluoride, whereas meta-nitrophenylboron difluoride was more reactive than either boron trifluoride or phenylboron difluoride and showed more marked differences in endo: exo ratios. These results contrast to some extent with gas-phase semi-empirical calculations (PM3), which suggest that boron trifluoride and meta-nitrophenylboron difluoride should have similar reactivity; phenylboron difluoride being less reactive. However, since arylboron difluorides are easily prepared, these Lewis acids represent a group of potentially highly tuneable catalysts for Diels-Alder reactions.
