- Aliphatic bromination with tetrabromomethane on immobilized copper complexes
-
New catalytic systems with supported bromine- and chlorine-containing copper complexes for selective bromination of alkanes with tetrabromomethane have been proposed. Introduction of donor additives (e.g., low-molecular-weight alcohols) into the reaction increases the activity and stability of these catalysts. The kinetic features of the processes have been investigated. It has been shown that the dependences of the yield of bromodecanes on temperature and concentration of donor additives are both nonmonotonic in character.

- Regiodivergent Conversion of Alkenes to Branched or Linear Alkylpyridines
-
Herein we report a practical protocol for the visible-light-induced regiodivergent radical hydropyridylation of unactivated alkenes using pyridinium salts. This approach provides a unified synthetic platform to control the regioselectivity of the synthesis of linear or branched C4-alkylated pyridines. A remarkable selectivity switch from the anti-Markovnikov to the Markovnikov product can be achieved by the addition of tetrabutylammonium bromide. The versatility of this protocol is further demonstrated based on the late-stage functionalization in pharmaceuticals.

- Environmentally responsible, safe, and chemoselective catalytic hydrogenation of olefins: ppm level Pd catalysis in recyclable water at room temperature
-
Textbook catalytic hydrogenations are typically presented as reactions done in organic solvents and oftentimes under varying pressures of hydrogen using specialized equipment. Catalysts new and old are all used under similar conditions that no longer reflect the times. By definition, such reactions are both environmentally irresponsible and dangerous, especially at industrial scales. We now report on a general method for chemoselective and safe hydrogenation of olefins in water using ppm loadings of palladium from commercially available, inexpensive, and recyclable Pd/C, together with hydrogen gas utilized at 1 atmosphere. A variety of alkenes is amenable to reduction, including terminal, highly substituted internal, and variously conjugated arrays. In most cases, only 500 ppm of heterogeneous Pd/C is sufficient, enabled by micellar catalysis used in recyclable water at room temperature. Comparison with several newly introduced catalysts featuring base metals illustrates the superiority of chemistry in water.

- METHOD FOR PRODUCING REDUCED HALIDE COMPOUND HAVING UNDERGONE REDUCTION OF CARBON-CARBON UNSATURATED BOND
-
A halide compound having one or more carbon-carbon unsaturated bonds is catalytically reduced with substantially no dehalogenation to produce a reduced halide compound in which at least one of the one or more unsaturated bonds is reduced. Specifically provided is a method for producing a reduced halide compound including steps of: reacting a nickel compound, a zinc compound, and a borohydride compound in a solvent to obtain a reduction catalyst; and subjecting a halide compound having one or more carbon-carbon unsaturated bonds to catalytic reduction in the presence of the reduction catalyst to reduce at least one of the one or more carbon-carbon unsaturated bonds to thereby obtain a reduced halide compound.

- Transfer Hydrogenation of Alkenes Using Ethanol Catalyzed by a NCP Pincer Iridium Complex: Scope and Mechanism
-
The first general catalytic approach to effecting transfer hydrogenation (TH) of unactivated alkenes using ethanol as the hydrogen source is described. A new NCP-type pincer iridium complex (BQ-NCOP)IrHCl containing a rigid benzoquinoline backbone has been developed for efficient, mild TH of unactivated C-C multiple bonds with ethanol, forming ethyl acetate as the sole byproduct. A wide variety of alkenes, including multisubstituted alkyl alkenes, aryl alkenes, and heteroatom-substituted alkenes, as well as O- or N-containing heteroarenes and internal alkynes, are suitable substrates. Importantly, the (BQ-NCOP)Ir/EtOH system exhibits high chemoselectivity for alkene hydrogenation in the presence of reactive functional groups, such as ketones and carboxylic acids. Furthermore, the reaction with C2D5OD provides a convenient route to deuterium-labeled compounds. Detailed kinetic and mechanistic studies have revealed that monosubstituted alkenes (e.g., 1-octene, styrene) and multisubstituted alkenes (e.g., cyclooctene (COE)) exhibit fundamental mechanistic difference. The OH group of ethanol displays a normal kinetic isotope effect (KIE) in the reaction of styrene, but a substantial inverse KIE in the case of COE. The catalysis of styrene or 1-octene with relatively strong binding affinity to the Ir(I) center has (BQ-NCOP)IrI(alkene) adduct as an off-cycle catalyst resting state, and the rate law shows a positive order in EtOH, inverse first-order in styrene, and first-order in the catalyst. In contrast, the catalysis of COE has an off-cycle catalyst resting state of (BQ-NCOP)IrIII(H)[O(Et)···HO(Et)···HOEt] that features a six-membered iridacycle consisting of two hydrogen-bonds between one EtO ligand and two EtOH molecules, one of which is coordinated to the Ir(III) center. The rate law shows a negative order in EtOH, zeroth-order in COE, and first-order in the catalyst. The observed inverse KIE corresponds to an inverse equilibrium isotope effect for the pre-equilibrium formation of (BQ-NCOP)IrIII(H)(OEt) from the catalyst resting state via ethanol dissociation. Regardless of the substrate, ethanol dehydrogenation is the slow segment of the catalytic cycle, while alkene hydrogenation occurs readily following the rate-determining step, that is, β-hydride elimination of (BQ-NCOP)Ir(H)(OEt) to form (BQ-NCOP)Ir(H)2 and acetaldehyde. The latter is effectively converted to innocent ethyl acetate under the catalytic conditions, thus avoiding the catalyst poisoning via iridium-mediated decarbonylation of acetaldehyde.

- A procedure for Appel halogenations and dehydrations using a polystyrene supported phosphine oxide
-
The conversion of a commercially available polystyrene supported phosphine oxide into synthetically useful polymeric halophosphonium salts using oxalyl chloride/bromide takes place at room temperature in 5 min and generates only CO and CO2 as by-products. The polymeric halophosphonium salts so obtained are useful reagents for Appel halogenations and other dehydrative coupling reactions. This gives rise to a simple three-step synthesis cycle for Appel and related reactions using a commercially available polymeric phosphine oxide with very simple purification and no phosphorus waste.

- Convenient synthesis of glycosyl bromide from 1-O-acetyl sugars by photo-irradiative phase-vanishing reaction of molecular bromine
-
The synthesis of glycosyl bromides from 1-O-acetyl sugars using a photo-irradiative phase-vanishing method involving molecular bromine was achieved. A bottom phase of molecular bromine was overlaid first with perfluorohexanes (FC-72), followed by overlaying with ethyl acetate containing a 1-O-acetyl sugar. Upon irradiation, the bromine layer gradually disappeared, leaving two phases. Glycosyl bromide was obtained in good yield from the ethyl acetate phase.

- In situ phosphine oxide reduction: A catalytic appel reaction
-
Several important reactions in organic chemistry thrive on stoichiometric formation of phosphine oxides from phosphines. To avoid the resulting burden of waste and purification, cyclic phosphine oxides were evaluated for new catalytic reactions based on in situ regeneration. First, the ease of silane-mediated reduction of a range of cyclic phosphine oxides was explored. In addition, the compatibility of silanes with electrophilic halogen donors was determined for application in a catalytic Appel reaction based on in situ reduction of dibenzophosphole oxide. Under optimized conditions, alcohols were effectively converted to bromides or chlorides, thereby showing the relevance of new catalyst development and paving the way for broader application of organophosphorus catalysis by in situ reduction protocols.

- Catalytic phosphorus(V)-mediated nucleophilic substitution reactions: Development of a catalytic appel reaction
-
Catalytic phosphorus(V)-mediated chlorination and bromination reactions of alcohols have been developed. The new reactions constitute a catalytic version of the classical Appel halogenation reaction. In these new reactions oxalyl chloride is used as a consumable stoichiometric reagent to generate the halophosphonium salts responsible for halogenation from catalytic phosphine oxides. Thus, phosphine oxides have been transformed from stoichiometric waste products into catalysts and a new concept for catalytic phosphorus-based activation and nucleophilic substitution of alcohols has been validated. The present study has focused on a full exploration of the scope and limitations of phosphine oxide catalyzed chlorination reactions as well as the development of the analogous bromination reactions. Further mechanistic studies, including density functional theory calculations on proposed intermediates of the catalytic cycle, are consistent with a catalytic cycle involving halo- and alkoxyphosphonium salts as intermediates.

An efficient method to effect chemoselective reduction of alkenes (including trisubstituted olefins) possessing various sensitive and/or reducible groups such as acetals, allylic alcohols, benzyl ethers, epoxides, esters, halides, nitriles, and sulfones is reported. The reduction is facile at 0 °C in aqueous N,N-dimethylacetamide containing sodium borohydride in the presence of 15 mol % ruthenium(III) chloride. Regioselective reduction of dienes is also feasible if the double bonds are sufficiently different in their structural environment.

- Loss of benzene to generate an enolate anion by a site-specific double-hydrogen transfer during CID fragmentation of o-alkyl ethers of ortho-hydroxybenzoic acids
-
Collision-induced dissociation of anions derived from orffco- alkyloxybenzoic acids provides a facile way of producing gaseous enolate anions. The alkyloxyphenyl anion produced after an initial loss of CO2 undergoes elimination of a benzene molecule by a double-hydrogen transfer mechanism, unique to the ortho isomer, to form an enolate anion. Deuterium labeling studies confirmed that the two hydrogen atoms transferred in the benzene loss originate from positions 1 and 2 of the alkyl chain. An initial transfer of a hydrogen atom from the C-l position forms a phenyl anion and a carbonyl compound, both of which remain closely associated as an ion/neutral complex. The complex breaks either directly to give the phenyl anion by eliminating the neutral carbonyl compound, or to form an enolate anion by transferring a hydrogen atom from the C-2 position and eliminating a benzene molecule in the process. The pronounced primary kinetic isotope effect observed when a deuterium atom is transferred from the C-l position, compared to the weak effect seen for the transfer from the C-2 position, indicates that the first transfer is the rate determining step. Quantum mechanical calculations showed that the neutral loss of benzene is a thermodynamically favorable process. Under the conditions used, only the spectra from ortho isomers showed peaks at mlz 77 for the phenyl anion and mlz 93 for the phenoxyl anion, in addition to that for the ortho-specific enolate anion. Under high collision energy, the ortho isomers also produce a peak at mlz 137 for an alkene loss. The spectra of meta and para compounds show a peak at mlz 92 for the distonic anion produced by the homolysis of the O-C bond. Moreover, a small peak at mlz 136 for a distonic anion originating from an alkyl radical loss allows the differentiation of para compounds from meta isomers. Copyright

- Didecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB): a universal, robust, and highly potent phase-transfer catalyst for diverse organic transformations
-
Didecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB) has been scrutinized in comparison with traditional phase-transfer catalysts in variety of liquid-liquid reactions. It was found to be an exceptionally comprehensive, durable, and highly efficient phase-transfer catalyst (PTC) in a number of representative organic transformations such as C- and N-alkylations, isomerization, esterification, elimination, cyanation, bromination, and oxidation under very mild conditions of temperature and mixing. It was confirmed that DDAB is an exceedingly accessible and concurrently a highly liphophilic phase-transfer catalyst. This unprecedented characteristic renders DDAB to be a multipurpose catalyst that functions effectively both in mass transfer controlled and chemically controlled phase-transfer reactions.

- Electron Spin Resonance Spectra and Structure of the Radical Cations of Dibromoalkanes and Monobromoalkanes
-
The radical cations of dibromoalkanes containing two bromines separated by an alkyl chain, have been generated by exposing dilute solutions of the dibromoalkanes in freon to X-rays at 77 K.Two types of e.s.r. spectra were observed for these cations.The spectra obtained for Br(CH2)nBr, n = 1-7, show septet features characteristic of two equivalent Br nuclei.The coupling constant of the septet increases and reaches a plateau, with increased n in these dibromoalkanes.This indicates that a positive hole in these cations is shared, not by the two Br nuclei connected through ?-delocalization over the chain, but by the two Br nuclei directly bonded to each other, in accordance with conclusions recently drawn from e.s.r. studies of dichloroalkane cations.In contrast, the e.s.r. spectra obtained for Br(CH2)nBr, n > 7, are more complicated.When similar experiments were carried out with H(CH2)nBr, n > 7, analogous spectra were obtained, indicating that the spectra observed for these dibromoalkanes can be interpreted in terms of hyperfine interactions to only one of the two Br nuclei and to two nuclei with nuclear spins of 1/2.This result, considered together with the fact that similar cationic centres were detected for H(CH2)nBr, n > 3, and with the spectral change observed for Br(CH2)nBr and H(CH2)nBr cations in different matrices (CCl2FCClF2, CCl3F, and CCl4) indicates that cyclization also occurs for these cations, the positive hole being occupied in a three-centre bond comprising a Br nucleus, a C nucleus (four atoms away from the Br nucleus), and an H nucleus bonded to the C nucleus.

- The Use of Silica Gel-Supported Ionenes as Reagents and Catalysts for Several Substitution Reactions in Toluene

Several ionene bromides were used as reagents for the displacement of decyl methanesulfonate into 1-bromodecane.They were reactive when adsorbed by silica gel.The enhanced activities of the ionenes were hardly dependent on their structures and molecular weights but decreased gradually with increasing the amount of ionene adsorbed by silica gel.Ionene chlorides exhibited a similar enhancement of reactivity when adsorbed by silica gel.However, unlike the ionenes, a large increase in activity due to adsorption was not observed with pendant-type polycations such as poly(4-vinylpyridinium bromide) and poly.The silica gel-supported ionenes also exhibited excellent catalytic activities for solid-liquid-solid triphase substitution reactions, particularly for the reactions between 1-bromodecane and such inorganic salts as consisted of relatively hard-basic nucleophilic anions.
