- Visible-Light-Driven, Metal-Free Divergent Difunctionalization of Alkenes Using Alkyl Formates
-
In recent decades, difunctionalization of alkenes has received considerable attention as an efficient and straightforward way to increase molecular complexity. However, examples of the difunctionalization of alkenes initiated by the intermolecular addition of alkoxycarbonyl radicals providing substituted alkanoates are still rare. Herein, we present the visible light-driven metal-free divergent difunctionalization of alkenes triggered by the intermolecular addition of alkoxycarbonyl radicals under ambient conditions. Employing alkyl formates as precursors of alkoxycarbonyl radicals and 4CzIPN as the photocatalyst, a variety of substituted alkanoates, including β-alkoxy, β-hydroxy, β-dimethoxymethoxy, and β-formyloxy alkanoates, could be facilely accessed with high functional group tolerance and high efficiency. Moreover, the mechanism study revealed that β-hydroxy alkanoates were generated by a selective decomposition of orthoformates promoted by the N-alkoxyazinium salt.

- Solvent- or temperature-controlled diastereoselective aldol reaction of methyl phenylacetate
-
Unlike the enolboration-aldolization of methyl propanoate, the choice of either the solvent or temperature determines the diastereoselectivity during the enolboration-aldolization of methyl phenylacetate. In CH2Cl 2, the reaction favors the anti-pathway at -78 °C and the syn-pathway at rt. Conversely, the reaction produces the anti-isomer up to rt and the syn-isomer at refluxing temperatures in nonpolar solvents.

- Kinetics and mechanism of the oxidation of alkenes by chromium(VI) in the presence of complexing agents
-
The catalytic activities of 2,2′-bipyridyl (bipy) and oxalic acid (Oxa) in the HCrO4- oxidation of some substituted trans-cinnamic acids have been investigated in acidic solutions. The Cr(VI)-bipy and Cr(VI)-Oxa complexes are believed to be the probable reactive electrophiles in this redox process. The kinetic data reveal that electron-releasing groups enhance the reactivity to a significant extent while the electron-withdrawing ones reduce the rate marginally. It appears that the mechanism of bipy/Oxa catalysed chromium(VI) oxidation of unsaturated systems to the corresponding cleavage products involves an electrophilic attack of the reactive complex at the C-C double bond. The formation of a ternary complex as an intermediate is envisaged to describe the redox process. In this paper, we also report on the kinetic form of the oxidation of trans-stilbene to methyl 3-hydroxy-2,3-diphenylpropanoate. The mechanistic pathway has been determined based on the kinetic behaviour and the product assignment.

- The Phenyldimethylsilyl Group as a Masked Hydroxy Group
-
A phenyldimethylsilyl group attached to carbon can be converted into hydroxy group 1->5, with retention of configuration at the migrating carbon, by any of three main methods.The first involves protodesilylation, to remove the phenyl ring from the silicon atom, followed by oxidation of the resulting functionalized silicon atom using peracid or hydrogen peroxide.The second uses mercuric acetate for the same purpose, and can be combined in one pot with the oxidative step using peracetic acid.This method has a variant in which the mercuric ion is combined with palladium(II) acetate, both in less than stoichiometric amounts.The third uses bromine, which can also be used in one pot in conjuction with peracetic acid.In this method, but not in the method based on mercuric acetate, the peracetic acid may be buffered with sodium acetate.The method using bromine as the electrophile for removing the benzene ring has a more agreeable variant in which it is administered in the form of potassium bromide, which is oxidised to bromine by the peracetic acid.The scope and limitations of each of these methods are reported with a range of examples possessing between them many of the common functional groups.Simple benzene rings, alcohols, ethers, esters, amides and nitriles are compatible with all three methods, and ketones do not undergo Baeyer-Villiger reaction under any of the conditions.Amines, however, are oxidised to amine oxides.Ketones may be brominated in the third of the three main species.The absence of acid in the third method makes it especially valuable when the phenyldimethylsilyl group has a neighbouring nucleofugal group such as hydroxy or acetoxy.Carbon-carbon double bonds are incompatible with the methods, except for terminal monosubstituted double bonds, which can survive the conditions used in the first of the three methods.

-
erythro-3-Hydroxy-2-methylpropionates or erythro-3-hydroxy-2-methylpropionamides were prepared with high stereoselectivity by NaBH4 reduction of the corresponding 2-methyl-3-oxo esters or 2-methyl-3-oxo amides in the presence of a catalytic amount of manganese(II) chloride. On the other hand, reduction of these substrates with n-Bu4NBH4 provided threo-isomers selectively. erythro-Selective reduction of 2-methyl-3-oxo amides with NaBH3CN in 1N HCl-MeOH is also described.

- Dehydrative Decarboxylation of 2,3-Disubstituted 3-Hydroxycarboxylic Acids with Dimethylformamide Acetals - Mechanistic Studies and Preparative Applicability

Dimethylformamide dimethylacetal (2a) converts the threo-3-hydroxycarboxylic acids 4 smoothly into the (E)/(Z)-olefins 7/6 only if R2 is an aryl or vinyl substituent.Althougt the reaction exhibits a distinct (E)-selectivity it cannot be considered as a stereo-controlled olefin synthesis.If R2 is alkyl, 2a generates the methyl esters 10 from 4.The erythro-acids 5 react with 2a to give 43 - 95percent of >98percent sterically pure 7.As the key tranformation on the multistep way from 4/5 to 6/7 the fragmentation of the zwitterionic intermediate 11/20 is postulated.
