Irradiation of dimethylpyridine vapors (2-5 Torr) at 254 nm results in the formation of two sets of isomerization products. One set, formed in the larger yield, is substantially quenched when the irradiations are carried out in the presence of 15-21 Torr of nitrogen and is not formed when the irradiations are carried out with light of λ > 290 nm. In addition, a second set of reactions, which involve the interconversion of 2,3- and 2,5- dimethylpyridines, is enhanced by the addition of nitrogen, and these reactions are the only photoisomerization reactions observed when the irradiations are carried out with light of λ > 290 nm. In addition to the photoisomerizations, four of the dimethylpyridines also undergo demethylation to yield monomethylpyridines, and 2,6-dimethylpyridine undergoes methylation to yield a trimethylpyridine product. A variety of crossover experiments confirmed that the photoisomerizations are intramolecular. Based on the major phototransposition products, the six dimethylpyridines can be divided into two triads. Interconversion of the three members of each triad results in the major phototransposition products. These intra-triad interconversions are suggested to occur via 2,6-bonding, originating in a vibrationally excited S2 (π,π*) state of the dimethylpyridine, followed by nitrogen migration and rearomatization. This allows nitrogen to insert within each carbon- carbon bond. Phototransposition of 2,6-dideuterio-3,5-dimethylpyridine to a mixture of 5,6-dideuterio-2,4-dimethylpyridine and 3,4-dideuterio-2,5- dimethylpyridine is consistent with this mechanism. In addition to these intra-triad reactions, 2,5-dimethylpyridine, a member of triad 1, was observed to interconvert with 2,3-dimethylpyridine, a member of triad 2. These inter-triad reactions are suggested to occur via interconverting Dewar pyridine intermediates, formed from the triplet state of the dimethylpyridines. These Dewar pyridine intermediates were also observed by 1H NMR spectroscopy after irradiation of the dimethylpyridines in CD3CN at -30 °C.
Allosteric Effects in Ethylene Polymerization Catalysis. Enhancement of Performance of Phosphine-Phosphinate and Phosphine-Phosphonate Palladium Alkyl Catalysts by Remote Binding of B(C6F5)3

Remote binding of B(C6F5)3 to (PPO)PdMeL (L = pyridine or lutidine) or {(PPO)PdMe}2 ethylene polymerization catalysts that contain phosphine-arenephosphinate or phosphine-arenephosphonate ligands (PPO- = [1-PAr2-2-PR′O2-Ph]-: Ar = R′ = Ph (1a); Ar = Ph, R′ = OEt (1b); Ar = Ph, R′ = OiPr (1c); Ar = 2-OMe-Ph, R′ = OiPr (1d)) significantly increases the catalyst activity and the molecular weight of the polyethylene (PE) product. In the most favorable case, in situ conversion of (1d)PdMe(py) to the base-free adduct {1d·B(C6F5)3}PdMe increases the ethylene polymerization activity from 9.8 to 5700 kg mol-1 h-1 and the Mn of the PE product from 9030 to 99 200 Da (80 °C, 410 psi). X-ray structural data, trends in ligand lability, and comparative studies of BF3 activation suggest that these allosteric effects are primarily electronic in origin. The B(C6F5)3 binding enhances the chain growth rate (Rgrowth) by increasing the degree of positive charge on the Pd center. This effect does not result in the large increase in the chain transfer rate (Rtransfer) and concomitant reduction in PE molecular weight seen in previous studies of analogous (PO)PdRL catalysts that contain phosphine-arenesulfonate ligands, because of the operation of a dissociative chain transfer process, which is inhibited by the increased charge at Pd.

One-step 2,6-Lutidine Synthesis from Acetone, Ammonia and Methanol. Temperature-programmed Desorption-Reaction (TPDR)-Mass Spectrometry (MS) Study
Vatti, Francesco P.,Forni, Lucio
, p. 4381 - 4386 (1993)
The temperature-programmed desorption-reaction (TPDR)-mass spectrometry (MS) technique has been employed to study the behaviour and the reactivity of the title reactant mixture over a catalyst of amorphous silica-alumina impregnated with Sb2O3 and CuO.This catalyst exhibited acidic and redox properties, leading to oxidation, dehydration and alkylation reactions.The formation of 2,6-lutidine takes place only at high temperature, requiring a high activation energy.The reaction mechanism involves alkylation of acetone by methanol to form methyl ethyl ketone, followed by reaction of the latter with ammonia to form an imine, then reaction of the imine with a second molecule of acetone, and finally, cyclisation to 2,6-lutidine.
NCP-Type Pincer Iridium Complexes Catalyzed Transfer-Dehydrogenation of Alkanes and Heterocycles?
Wang, Yulei,Qian, Lu,Huang, Zhidao,Liu, Guixia,Huang, Zheng
, p. 837 - 841 (2020)
A series of NCP-type pincer iridium complexes, (RNCCP)IrHCl (2a—2c) and (BQ-NCOP)IrHCl 3, have been studied for catalytic transfer alkane dehydrogenation. Complex 3 containing a rigid benzoquinoline backbone exhibits high activity and robustness in dehydrogenation of alkanes to form alkenes. Even more importantly, this catalyst system was also highly effective in the dehydrogenation of a wide range of heterocycles to furnish heteroarenes.
Mechanism of proton transfer to coordinated thiolates: Encapsulation of acid stabilizes precursor intermediate

Earlier kinetic studies on the protonation of the coordinated thiolate in the square-planar [Ni(SC6H4R′-4)(triphos)]+ (R′ = NO2, Cl, H, Me or MeO) by lutH+ (lut = 2,6-dimethylpyridine) indicate a two-step mechanism involving initial formation of a (kinetically detectable) precursor intermediate, {[Ni(SC6H4R′-4)(triphos)]...Hlut}2+ (KR1), followed by an intramolecular proton transfer step (kR2). The analogous [Ni(SR)(triphos)]BPh4 {R = Et, But or Cy; triphos = PhP(CH2CH2PPh2)2} have been prepared and characterized by spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. Similar to the aryl thiolate complexes, [Ni(SR)(triphos)]+ are protonated by lutH+ in an equilibrium reaction but the observed rate law is simpler. Analysis of the kinetic data for both [Ni(SR)(triphos)]+ and [Ni(SC6H4R′-4)(triphos)]+ shows that both react by the same mechanism, but that KR1 is largest when the thiolate is poorly basic, or the 4-R′ substituent in the aryl thiolates is electron-withdrawing. These results indicate that it is both NH...S hydrogen bonding and encapsulation of the bound lutH+ (by the phenyl groups on triphos) which stabilize the precursor intermediate.

The kinetics of quinuclidine displacement of BH3 from a wide range of Lewis base borane adducts have been measured. Parameterization of these rates has enabled the development of a nucleofugality scale (NFB), shown to quantify and predict the leaving group ability of a range of other Lewis bases. Additivity observed across a number of series R′3-nRnX (X = P, N; R′ = aryl, alkyl) has allowed the formulation of related substituent parameters (nfPB, nfAB), providing a means of calculating NFB values for a range of Lewis bases that extends far beyond those experimentally derived. The utility of the nucleofugality parameter is explored by the correlation of the substituent parameter nfPB with the hydrolyses rates of a series of alkyl and aryl MIDA boronates under neutral conditions. This has allowed the identification of MIDA boronates with heteroatoms proximal to the reacting center, showing unusual kinetic lability or stability to hydrolysis.
Efficient Chemoselective Reduction of N-Oxides and Sulfoxides Using a Carbon-Supported Molybdenum-Dioxo Catalyst and Alcohol

The chemoselective reduction of a wide range of N-oxides and sulfoxides with alcohols is achieved using a carbon-supported dioxo-molybdenum (Mo@C) catalyst. Of the 10 alcohols screened, benzyl alcohol exhibits the highest reduction efficiency. A variety of N-oxide and both aromatic and aliphatic sulfoxide substrates bearing halogens as well as additional reducible functionalities are efficiently and chemoselectively reduced with benzyl alcohol. Chemoselective N-oxide reduction is effected even in the presence of potentially competing sulfoxide moieties. In addition, the Mo@C catalyst is air- and moisture-stable, and is easily separated from the reaction mixture and then re-subjected to reaction conditions over multiple cycles without significant reactivity or selectivity degradation. The high stability and recyclability of the catalyst, paired with its low toxicity and use of earth-abundant elements makes it an environmentally friendly catalytic system.
