- Transition-Metal-Free Allylic Borylation of 1,3-Dienes
-
This work explains the reactivity of diboron reagents with 1,3-dienes in a transition-metal-free context. The sole addition of Na2CO3 (30 mol %) to bis(pinacolato)diboron in MeOH allows the 1,4-hydroboration of cyclic and noncyclic 1,3-dienes. The electronic influence on the substrate guarantees the conjugated 1,4-hydroboration versus 1,2-diboration. DFT calculations show that the distribution of charge in the allylic anion intermediate governs the selectivity toward 1,4-hydroboration, while the favored trans configuration in diene reagents determines the preference for the E allyl boronate products.

- A Cascade Suzuki-Miyaura/Diels-Alder Protocol: Exploring the Bifunctional Utility of Vinyl Bpin
-
Cascade reactions are an important strategy in reaction design, allowing streamlining of chemical synthesis. Here we report a cascade Suzuki-Miyaura/Diels-Alder reaction, employing vinyl Bpin as a bifunctional reagent in two distinct roles: as an organoboron nucleo phile for cross-coupling and as a Diels-Alder dienophile. Merging these two reactions enables a rapid and operationally simple synthesis of functionalized carbocycles in good yield. The effect of the organoboron subtype on Diels-Alder regioselectivity was investigated and postsynthetic modifications were carried out on a model substrate. The potential for a complementary Heck/Diels-Alder process was also assessed.

- A General Nickel-Catalyzed Kumada Vinylation for the Preparation of 2-Substituted 1,3-Dienes
-
The identification of two nickel(II) precatalysts for the preparation of 2-substituted 1,3-dienes by a Kumada cross-coupling between vinyl magnesium bromide and vinyl phosphates is described. This is noteworthy as engaging only one vinyl derivative in a transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction is already reputedly challenging. Salient features of this method are its operational simplicity, the mild reaction conditions, the low catalyst loadings, the short reaction times, its scalability, and the use of stoichiometric quantities of each coupling partner. The tolerance of the two nickel catalysts to an important number of reactive functional groups and their compatibility with structurally complex molecular architectures has been extensively delineated. A Negishi variant of the reaction has been developed for even more sensitive organic functions such as ester or nitrile. Several other conjugated 1,3-dienes with various substitution patterns have been prepared by combining commercial alkenyl Grignard reagents and/or readily available alkenyl enol phosphates. Proper choice of the nickel catalyst and the reaction temperature gave access to a variety of different olefin isomers with high levels of stereocontrol. Overall, this approach affords conjugated dienes that would not be accessible otherwise and therefore provides a valuable complement to existing methods.

- Radical-Stabilization-Energy - the MMEVBH Force Field
-
Making use of the VB method of Malrieu et al. a force field has been developed, which allows to calculate heats of formation of hydrocarbons (conjugated and non-conjugated olefins, radicals and diradicals) with high accuracy.With this method radical stabilization energies (RSE) for a great number of delocalized radicals are calculated and compared with experimental values, derived from shock-tube measurements of dissociation energies or from rotational barriers of substituted olefins.A detailed analysis of the RSE with respect to structure, substituents, strain, and aromaticity is presented. - Key Words: Resonance energy / Heats of formation / Single pulse shock tube / Intrisic rotational barrier

- Flash Vacuum Pyrolysis of N-Allyl-Substituted 1,3,4-Oxadiazolin-5-ones
-
The flash vacuum pyrolysis of several N-allyl-substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazolin-5-ones generates nitrile imines which rearrange to diazoalkenes via a 3,3-sigmatropic shift.
