- Diels-Alder reactions with 1,1-diethoxybut-3-yn-2-one and some 1,1-diethoxy-5-hydroxyalk-3-yn-2-ones and their acetates
-
The title compounds were reacted with a few conjugated dienes at room temperature and above. The alcohols were unreactive, but the other ynones reacted at a reasonable rate. Conceivably, the expected cyclohexa-1,4-diene adducts were formed, but they were unstable and aromatized to the corresponding benzene derivatives, which were isolated in low to excellent yield.

- Palladium-catalyzed carbonylative synthesis of acylstannanes from aryl iodides and hexamethyldistannane
-
In this communication, we describe a new method for the carbonylative synthesis of acylstannanes from aryl iodides and hexamethyldistannane. With Pd(PPh3)4 as the catalyst and toluene as the solvent at 60 °C under 10 bar CO for 16 h, the desired acylstannanes were obtained in good to excellent yields. In order to facilitate isolation and analysis, the obtained acylstannanes were transformed into the corresponding benzoic acids by simply stirring under air for 5 h.

- Highly-functionalized arene synthesis based on palladium on carbon-catalyzed aqueous dehydrogenation of cyclohexadienes and cyclohexenes
-
Transition metal-catalyzed dehydrogenation is a clean oxidation method requiring no additional oxidants. We have accomplished a heterogeneous Pd/C-catalyzed aqueous dehydrogenation of 1,4-cyclohexadienes and cyclohexenes to give the corresponding highly-functionalized arenes. Furthermore, various arenes could be efficiently constructed in a one-pot manner via a Diels-Alder reaction and the following dehydrogenation.

- A method of preparing 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid or trimellitic acid from pinacol
-
The invention relates to a method of preparing 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid or trimellitic acid from pinacol. The method includes a first step of selectively dehydrating the pinacol in an acid/ionic liquid catalytic system to generate 2,-3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene; a second step of subjecting the 2,-3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene and maleate or acrylate to a D-A cycloaddition/dehydrogenation tandemreaction to generate an aromatic ring product; and a third step of subjecting the aromatic ring product to hydrolysis and oxidation to prepare the 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid or the trimellitic acid. The catalytic system adopted in the method is green, and can be recycled. The raw material is a biomass-based platform chemical, and is cheap and easily available. All reaction processes aresimple. The pinacol dehydration reaction, the dehydrogenation reaction of a D-A product and an oxidation reaction are high in activity and selectivity. The novel method for preparing the 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid and the trimellitic acid which are fine chemicals from the pinacol that is a lignocelluloses based platform chemical is provided by the invention.

- Ligand-accelerated non-directed C-H functionalization of arenes
-
The directed activation of carbon-hydrogen bonds (C-H) is important in the development of synthetically useful reactions, owing to the proximity-induced reactivity and selectivity that is enabled by coordinating functional groups. Palladium-catalysed non-directed C-H activation could potentially enable further useful reactions, because it can reach more distant sites and be applied to substrates that do not contain appropriate directing groups; however, its development has faced substantial challenges associated with the lack of sufficiently active palladium catalysts. Currently used palladium catalysts are reactive only with electron-rich arenes, unless an excess of arene is used, which limits synthetic applications. Here we report a 2-pyridone ligand that binds to palladium and accelerates non-directed C-H functionalization with arene as the limiting reagent. This protocol is compatible with a broad range of aromatic substrates and we demonstrate direct functionalization of advanced synthetic intermediates, drug molecules and natural products that cannot be used in excessive quantities. We also developed C-H olefination and carboxylation protocols, demonstrating the applicability of our methodology to other transformations. The site selectivity in these transformations is governed by a combination of steric and electronic effects, with the pyridone ligand enhancing the influence of sterics on the selectivity, thus providing complementary selectivity to directed C-H functionalization.

We report the efficient carboxylation of bromides and triflates with K2CO3 as the source of CO2 in the presence of an organic photocatalyst in combination with a nickel complex under visible light irradiation at room temperature. The reaction is compatible with a variety of functional groups and has been successfully applied to the synthesis and derivatization of biologically active molecules. In particular, the carboxylation of unactivated cyclic alkyl bromides proceeded well with our protocol, thus extending the scope of this transformation. Spectroscopic and spectroelectrochemical investigations indicated the generation of a Ni0 species as a catalytic reactive intermediate.

- Method for estimating SN1 rate constants: Solvolytic reactivity of benzoates
-
Nucleofugalities of pentafluorobenzoate (PFB) and 2,4,6-trifluorobenzoate (TFB) leaving groups have been derived from the solvolysis rate constants of X,Y-substituted benzhydryl PFBs and TFBs measured in a series of aqueous solvents, by applying the LFER equation: log k = sf(Ef + Nf). The heterolysis rate constants of dianisylmethyl PFB and TFB, and those determined for 10 more dianisylmethyl benzoates in aqueous ethanol, constitute a set of reference benzoates whose experimental ΔG ? have been correlated with the ΔH? (calculated by PCM quantum-chemical method) of the model epoxy ring formation. Because of the excellent correlation (r = 0.997), the method for calculating the nucleofugalities of substituted benzoate LGs have been established, ultimately providing a method for determination of the SN1 reactivity for any benzoate in a given solvent. Using the ΔG? vs ΔH? correlation, and taking sf based on similarity, the nucleofugality parameters for about 70 benzoates have been determined in 90%, 80%, and 70% aqueous ethanol. The calculated intrinsic barriers for substituted benzoate leaving groups show that substrates producing more stabilized LGs proceed over lower intrinsic barriers. Substituents on the phenyl ring affect the solvolysis rate of benzhydryl benzoates by both field and inductive effects.

- Palladium-catalyzed aerobic dehydrogenation of substituted cyclohexanones to phenols
-
Aromatic molecules are key constituents of many pharmaceuticals, electronic materials, and commodity plastics. The utility of these molecules directly reflects the identity and pattern of substituents on the aromatic ring. Here, we report a palladium(II) catalyst system, incorporating an unconventional ortho-dimethylaminopyridine ligand, for the conversion of substituted cyclohexanones to the corresponding phenols. The reaction proceeds via successive dehydrogenation of two saturated carbon-carbon bonds of the six-membered ring and uses molecular oxygen as the hydrogen acceptor. This reactivity demonstrates a versatile and efficient strategy for the synthesis of substituted aromatic molecules with fundamentally different selectivity constraints from the numerous known synthetic methods that rely on substitution of a preexisting aromatic ring.

- Mild and efficient boronic acid catalysis of Diels-Alder cycloadditions to 2-alkynoic acids
-
The concept of boronic acid catalysis (BAC) for the activation of unsaturated carboxylic acids is applied to the Diels-Alder cycloaddition between 2-alkynoic acids as dienophiles and various dienes. These [4+2] cycloadditions produce cyclohexadienyl carboxylic acids, which can be oxidized in situ to produce polysubstituted aromatic carboxylic acids. The boronic acid catalyst is suspected to provide activation by a LUMO-lowering effect of the unsaturated carboxylic acid likely via a covalent, monoacylated hemiboronic ester intermediate.

- Direct carboxylation of arenes and halobenzenes with CO2 by the combined use of AlBr3 and R3SiCl
-
The Lewis acid-mediated direct carboxylation of aromatic compounds with CO2 is efficiently promoted by the addition of silyl chlorides bearing three alkyl and/or aryl substituents in total on the silicon atom. Thus, toluene, xylenes, mesitylene, and some other alkylbenzenes are treated with a 1:1 mixture of AlBr3 and Ph3SiCl in neat substrates under CO2 pressure (3.0 MPa) at room temperature, to give the corresponding carboxylic acids in 60-97% yields, based on AlBr3. Polycyclic arenes, including naphthalene, phenanthrene, and biphenyl, are regioselectively carboxylated in 91-98% yields with the aid of 1 molar equiv of AlBr3 and Ph3SiCl in an appropriate solvent, chosen from benzene, chlorobenzene, and fluorobenzene. These solvents, as well as bromobenzene, resist carboxylation; however, they are also carboxylated in moderate yields when treated with a 1:5 mixture of AlBr3 and iPrSiCl at elevated temperatures. The FT-IR spectrum of a mixture prepared by exposing a suspension of AlBr3 and Ph3SiCl in cyclohexane to CO 2 exhibits an absorption band around 1650 cm-1, assigned to the C=O stretching vibration of a species consisting of CO2, AlBr3, and Ph3SiCl, which suggests that the silyl chlorides activate CO2 in cooperation with AlBr3. 1H NMR analysis of unworked-up reaction mixtures reveals that the products merge as aluminum carboxylates. The mass balance concerning silicon indicates that the silyl chlorides are recycled during the reaction sequence. On the basis of these observations, a feasible mechanism is proposed for the present carboxylation.

The oxidation of trimethylbenzenes was examined with air or O2 using N,N′,N″-trihydroxyisocyanuric acid (THICA) as a key catalyst. Thus, 1,2,3-, 1,2,4-, and 1,3,5-trimethylbenzenes under air (20 atm) in the presence of THICA (5 mol %), Co(OAc)2 (0.5 mol %), Mn(OAc)2, and ZrO(OAc)2 at 150 °C were oxidized to the corresponding benzenetricarboxylic acids in good yields (81-97%). In the aerobic oxidation of 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene by the THICA/Co(II)/Mn(II) system, remarkable acceleration was observed by adding a very small amount of ZrO(OAc)2 to the reaction system to form 1,2,4-benzenetricarboxylic acid in excellent yield (97%). In contrast, no considerable addition effect was observed in the oxidation of 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene. This aerobic oxidation by the present catalytic system provides an economical and environmentally benign direct method to benzenetricarboxylic acids, which are very important polymer materials.

In fact, the iodo-oxazination reaction on compounds 4, followed by reduction of the iodine atom, led to the dihydroxyamino acids 11 in which the cis relationship exists between the two hydroxy groups. The iodo-lactonization reaction, followed by reduction of the iodine atom, allowed for the formation of the trans dihydroxy derivatives 19 starting from the acids 5.

The 4JH-C=C-Me coupling constant has been previously established1,2 as a probe of bond order. This has now been used to examine the bond orders of compounds containing severely distorted benzene nuclei. In the case of 3,4-di-tert-butyltoluene, no electronic distortions in the aromatic ring can be detected by this method. A series of moderately to severely distorted paracyclophanes show no perturbation of electronic structure, with the possible exception of 8-methyl[6]paracyclophane, which exhibits a barely significant deviation from unstrained values. These conclusions are supported by the results of SCF-MO calculations.
