- Understanding the roles of variable Pd(II)/Pd(0) ratio supported on conjugated poly-azobenzene network: From characteristic alteration in properties to their cooperation towards visible-light-induced selective hydrogenation
-
Selective hydrogenation of organic functionalities at environmentally benign conditions using visible light is of great industrial and economic significance. Herein we report visible-light-induced rapid, almost quantitative and selective hydrogenation of olefins to respective mono-reduced products using cooperative performance of Pd(0) nanoparticles (NPs) and Pd(II) ions evenly distributed on a newly synthesized conjugated mesoporous poly-azobenzene network. Role of variable Pd(0)/Pd(II) ratio on the properties of polymeric networks and their overall catalytic abilities is critically investigated. This is the first proposed example of cooperative hydrogenation by simultaneous activation of H2 and unsaturated substrates using Mott-Schottky heterojunction between Pd NPs and the semiconducting polymer, with the help of Pd(II)-site-mediated η-coordination. A control over selective mono-reduction of diene with identical double bonds was also obtained. The catalytic activity retained for other non-olefinic functionalities as well.

- A novel iron complex for cross-coupling reactions of multiple C-Cl bonds in polychlorinated solvents with grignard reagents
-
A novel iron(III) complex (2) of a pincer ligand [1, N2,N6-bis(2,6- diisopropylphenyl)pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide] was developed and used for remediation of polychlorinated solvents via sp3-sp3 coupling of Grignard reagents with C-Cl bonds. The use of an iron catalyst for such coupling reactions is highly desirable due to its greener and more economical nature. Complex 2 was characterized using various spectroscopic techniques: electrospray ionization mass spectrometer (ESI-MS, m/z 575.1), cyclic voltammetry (E 1/2, 0.03 V and ΔE, 0.97 V), and ultraviolet visible (UV/Vis) spectroscopic techniques. The iron(III) complex showed efficient activation of multiple C-Cl bonds and catalyzing C-C coupling of polychlorinated alkyl halides, such as dichloromethane (CH2Cl2), chloroform (CHCl3), and carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), with various Grignard reagents under ambient reaction conditions. Complex 2 showed exceptional activity with reactions approaching near completion in about 5 min. With the required catalyst loading as low as 0.2 mol%, considerably high turnover numbers (TON = 483) and turnover frequency (TOF = 5,800 h-1) were obtained. None of the products detected during the reaction contained any chlorine, indicating an efficient dechlorination method while synthesizing products of synthetic and commercial interest. Interestingly, the catalyst was capable of replacing all chlorine atoms in each polychlorinated solvent under the investigations with high conversion. Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2012.

- Selective iron-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of terminal alkynes
-
A novel iron-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of alkynes to the corresponding alkenes applying formic acid as a hydrogen donor is reported. An in situ combination of Fe(BF4)2·6H2O and tetraphos allows for highly selective hydrogenation of a broad range of aromatic and aliphatic alkynes tolerating different functional groups.

- Exceptionally high decarboxylation rate of a primary aliphatic acyloxy radical determined by radical product yield analysis and quantitative 1H-CIDNP spectroscopy
-
Symmetrical (RCO2CO2R; R=XCH2CH 2) and asymmetrical (RCO2CO2R′; R=C 9H19CH2CH2, R′=CH3 or m-ClC6H4) primary diacyl peroxides were thermally decomposed under different conditions to analyze the decarboxylation rates of the thermally generated acyloxy radicals. Quantitative models of the geminate product yields, and qualitative and quantitative 1H-CIDNP spectroscopy were used to obtain the decarboxylation rate estimates. Results reported here suggest that, unlike short chain acyloxy radicals such as propanoyloxyl, long chain acyloxy radicals possess the highest decarboxylation rates of all known acyloxy radicals, estimated at (0.5-1.5)× 10 12s-1 between 80 and 140°C. Given the nature of the dissociative state of acyloxy radicals, such rates appear to be the result of destabilization of the former by the steric bulk of the long chain substituents. Additionally, the rate of this order of magnitude suggests a nearly concerted decarboxylation of primary diacyl peroxides. Copyright

- Lithium-Iodine Exchange Mediated Atom Transfer Cyclization: Catalytic Cycloisomerization of 6-Iodo-1-hexenes
-
Treatment of 6-iodo-1-hexene (1) in a variety of solvent systems with either MeLi or PhLi at room temperature or above effects clean cycloisomerization of 1 to (iodomethyl)cyclopentane (4). This novel transformation, which is mediated by rapid and reversible lithium-iodine exchange processes, most likely involves the following discrete steps: (i) generation of 5-hexenyllithium (2) from 1 by exchange with MeLi or PhLi, (ii) irreversible cyclization of 2 to give (cyclopentylmethyl)lithium (3) and (iii) virtually complete conversion of 3 to (iodomethyl)cyclopentane (4) via a highly favorable lithium-iodine exchange equilibrium. The isomerization sequence 1 → 4 has been found to be effectively catalytic in PhLi when conducted in hydrocarbon-ether solvent mixtures at room temperature.

- Kinetics of the Thermal Isomerizations of Gaseous Cycloheptene and Cyclooctene
-
Single-pulse shock tube kinetic studies of the thermal isomerizations of gaseous cycloheptene (CHEP) and cis-cyclooctene (COCT), and static reactor isomerizations of COCT at lower temperatures, have revealed a mechanistic dissimilarity in the two superficially analogous cycloalkene to, α,ω-alkadiene reactions observed.At 1035-1256 K, CHEP produced mostly vinylcyclopentane, log10(k,s-1) = 15.1 (+/- 0.7) - 69.7 (+/- 3.3) x 103/4.576T, and some 1,6-heptadiene.From COCT, heated over the range 610-1091 K, the dominant product was 1,7-octadiene, log10(k,s-1) = 13.8 (+/- 0.2) -54.6 (+/- 0.5) x 103/4.576T, with small amounts of vinylcyclohexane formed at the higher temperatures, log10(k,s-1) = 15.2 (+/- 0.3) - 64.4 (+/- 1.2) x 103/4.576T.The activation energy for the COCT isomerization to 1,7-octadiene is too low to associate with formation of a diradical, but is consistent with a concerted retro-ene mechanism.The higher activation energy isomerization to vinylcyclohexane, however, passes through a diradical transition structure.In contrast, the structure of CHEP is not adaptable to a concerted retro-ene precess, and both 1,6-heptadiene and vinylcyclopentane are formed through diradical-mediated reactions.

- Laser-Powered Decomposition of Spiroalkanes (n = 2-5)
-
The laser heating of spiroalkanes (n=2-5) and of their 1,1,2,2-tetradeuterated isotopomers reveals dissimilar modes of their thermal decomposition.Spiropentane decomposes into ethene and propadiene via two competing routes: the direct cleavage and the more important cleavage via intermediary methylenecyclobutane.Spirohexane decomposes through two important concurrent pathways which are the expulsions of ethene from the three-membered ring and a more feasible expulsion of ethene from the four-membered ring.Spiroheptane and spirooctane decompose by a radical-chain mechanism and afford complex mixtures of products; upon addition of propene both compounds rearrange into two cycloalkanes wherein the larger ring of the spiroalkane is preserved and substituted with ethylidene and a vinyl group.

- Electron-transfer processes. 43. Attack of alkyl radicals upon 1-alkenyl and 1-alkynyl derivatives of tin and mercury
-
Alkyl radicals, obtained by reaction of Bu3Sn? or ClHg? with alkylmercury halides, will undergo regioselective and in some cases stereospecific substitution by a free radical chain addition-elimination mechanism with 1-alkenylstannanes or -mercurials. The chain reaction is also observed for 1-alkynyl derivatives and in the photostimulated demercuration of mixed alkyl and 1-alkenyl- or 1-alkynylmercurials. Chain propagation with alkyl radical formation is also observed to occur in the reactions of β-eliminated ClHg? with Grignard reagents in PhH-THF solution. In competitive reactions of Bu3Sn? or ClHg? with pairs of alkylmercury chlorides, it is observed that a tert-butylmercurial is >1000 times more reactive than a n-butylmercurial, suggesting a concerted dissociate electron-transfer process not involving the intermediacy of RHg? species.

- Manufacture of gamma halogen substituted adducts
-
Halogen-substituted olefin addition compounds that contain a carbonyl group are formed by oxidatively adducting an olefin and a carbonyl compound such as a ketone, aldehyde, or ester. The method consists of reacting the olefin and the carbonyl component, in solution, with an oxidizing ion of manganese, cerium or vanadium in the presence of fluoride, chloride or bromide ion. This ionic component is incorporated in the adduct and appears on the olefin-derived carbon atom gamma to the carbonyl group. The gamma halogen substituted adducts are readily converted to cyclopropane derivatives, including pyrethroid intermediate compounds.

- Steric Acceleration in the Pyrolysis Kinetics of 2-Substituted Ethyl Acetates
-
The rates of elimination of several cyclo and branched alkyl substituents at the β carbon of ethyl acetates have been determined in a static system over the temperature range of 360-420 deg C and pressure range of 34-337 torr.The reactions are homogeneous in both clean and seasoned vessels, follow a first-order rate law, and are unimolecular.The rate coefficients are given by the following Arrhenius equations: for 2-cyclohexylethyl acetate, log k1 (s-1)=(13.30+/-0.28)-(208.1+/-3.4) kJ mol-1 (2.303RT)-1; for 2-cyclopentylethyl acetate, log k1 (s-1)=13.20+/-0.26)-(207.4+/-3.2) kJ mol-1 (2.303RT)-1; for 3-methyl-1-pentyl acetate, log k1 (s-1)=(13.62+/-0.09)-(211.9+/-1.2) kJ mol-1 (2.303RT)-1; for 4-methyl-1-pentyl acetate, log k1 (s-1)=12.82+/-0.05)-(203.1+/-0.6) kJ mol-1 (2.303RT)-1.The present data together with those reported in the literature give a good correlation line only, when plotting log k/k0 against Hancock's Esc values (r=0.916, δ=-0.121, and intercept=-0.020 at 400 deg C).This work ratifies that steric acceleration is responsible for the rate of elimination of alkyl and several polar substituents interposed by at least three methylene groups with respect to Cα-O bond of ethyl acetates.Unreported Esc values of several substituents are defined.
