Pd-catalyzed selective tandem arylation-alkylation of 1,1-dihalo-1-alkenes with aryl- and alkylzinc derivatives to produce α-alkyl-substituted styrene derivatives

Trans -selective monoarylation of 1,1-dibromo- and 1,1-dichloro-1-alkenes (1) can be achieved in >80% yields and in ≥98-99% stereoselectivity with arylzinc bromides in the presence of a catalytic amount of Cl2Pd(DPEphos) or Cl2Pd(dppb), the former permitting cleaner and higher yielding reactions. Although THF is a generally satisfactory solvent, ether and toluene are superior to THF in some cases. The second substitution of (Z)-α-bromostyrenes (3) with alkylzincs in the presence of 2 mol% of Pd(t Bu3P)2 proceeds to give the corresponding 2 in >90% yields and in ≥98-99% stereoselectivity. Although somewhat less satisfactory, the use of Cl2Pd(DPEphos) permits a one-pot tandem arylation-alkylation.

Behavior of biradicals generated from a Norrish type-I reaction of 2,2- diphenylcycloalkanones. Chain-length dependence and magnetic field effects

The reaction course of acyl-diphenylmethyl biradicals (α-oxo-ω, ω- diphenyl-α,ω-alkanediyl biradicals), O=C↑(CH2)η-2-C↑Ph2 (3BR-η), generated from the Norrish type-I reaction of 2,2-diphenylcycloalkanones (CK- η) with various ring sizes in methanol, is switched from intramolecular disproportionation (n = 6, 7), giving a diphenylalkenal, to acylphenyl recombination (n ≥ 9), affording a cyclophane derivative. The behavior of 3BR-9 derived from CK-9 was studied in detail; the photolysis of CK-9 afforded an open-chain and a cyclic decarbonylation product together with an unsaturated aldehyde and a 4-methylene-2,5-cyclohexadienyl ketone (a pre- cyclophane). The photolysis of this ketone gave the same products that arose from the photolysis of CK-9, presenting the possibility that the decarbonylation products and a part of the aldehyde are formed as secondary products during irradiation. The magnetic field dependence of the lifetimes of 3BR-η (η = 12 and 13) generated from CK-12 and 13, respectively, was measured in methanol by means of a pulsed-laser excitation technique. The rate constants for intersystem crossing showed a maximum at a relatively low field strength, which decreased with increasing the field strength to level off to an asymptotic value at > 1.5 kG. The results show that the role of hyperfine coupling in intersystem crossing is less important in these systems, presumably because of the presence of a carbonyl oxygen and the absence of a hydrogen atom at the radical center.

Effects of chain length on behavior of biradicals generated from Norrish type I reaction of 2,2-diphenylcycloalkanones. Isolation and photochemistry of intermediate methylenecyclohexadienyl ketones

The reaction course of biradicals, O=C(↑)-(CH2)(n-2)-C(↑)Ph2, generated from Norrish type I reaction of 2,2-diphenylcycloalkanones with various ring sizes, is switched from intramolecular disproportionation (n = 6,7) to acyl-phenyl r
