Primary Alcohols via Nickel Pentacarboxycyclopentadienyl Diamide Catalyzed Hydrosilylation of Terminal Epoxides

The efficient and regioselective hydrosilylation of epoxides co-catalyzed by a pentacarboxycyclopentadienyl (PCCP) diamide nickel complex and Lewis acid is reported. This method allows for the reductive opening of terminal, monosubstituted epoxides to form unbranched, primary alcohols. A range of substrates including both terminal and nonterminal epoxides are shown to work, and a mechanistic rationale is provided. This work represents the first use of a PCCP derivative as a ligand for transition-metal catalysis.

Metal-Free and Efficient Epoxidation of α,β-Unsaturated Ketones with 1,1,2,2-Tetrahydroperoxy-1,2-Diphenylethane as a Powerful Solid Oxidant

1,1,2,2-Tetrahydroperoxy-1,2-diphenylethane was used for the efficient and metal-free epoxidation of various α,β-unsaturated ketones, carried out under mild alkaline conditions at room temperature.

5-(α-Halobenzyl)- and 5-Benzylidene-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-oxazolidin-4-ones in Synthesis of α-Hydroxy Acids

The reactions of acid hydrolysis of 5-(α-halobenzyl)- and 5-benzylidene-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-oxazolidin-4-ones were studied. A possibility of the synthesis of corresponding α-hydroxy acids was shown.

Synthesis of 5-[bromo(aryl)methyl]-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-oxazolidin-4-ones

A Darzens condensation of α-chloroacetamide with aromatic aldehydes furnished a series of 3-aryl-2,3-epoxypropionamides, which were further converted to 5-[bromo(aryl)methyl]-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-oxazolidin-2-ones.

Lewis acid-promoted electron transfer deoxygenation of epoxides, sulfoxides, and amine N-oxides: the role of low-valent niobium complexes from NbCl5 and Zn

A mild and operationally simple deoxygenation of epoxides, sulfoxides, and amine N-oxides is described using a sub-stoichiometric amount of low-valent niobium complexes generated in situ from commercially available NbCl5 and zinc dust. The deoxygenation proceeds by a reductive cleavage of polarized O-C/O-N/O-S bonds through a single electron transfer from zinc metal to the niobium-substrate complex due to the high oxophilic nature of the niobium species. The presence of adjacent radical-stabilizing groups is beneficial to epoxide substrates; however the similar prerequisite does not apply to sulfoxides and amine N-oxides, where a broad range of substrates are efficiently deoxygenated in excellent yields.

Inverse phase transfer catalysis. III.- Optimization of the epoxidation reaction of α,β-unsaturated ketones by hydrogen peroxide

The epoxidation of chalcone using hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a base in a two-phase medium system following the so-called Inverse Phase Transfer Catalysis (IPTC) process was investigated. Careful examination of various parameters including surfactant concentration, pH, H2O2 decomposition side-reactions and epoxide ring-opening, allowed us to determine optimal experimental conditions.

NEW SYNTHETIC ROUTES TO β-FLUORO β-PHENYLLACTIC ACID DERIVATIVES AND Β-FLUOROCYANOHYDRINS

Alkyl phenyl 2,3-epoxycarboxylates from the well-known Darzens glycidic esters synthesis react under very mild conditions with pyridinium-poly-hydrogen fluoride to give corresponding 3-fluoro 3-phenyllactates in almost quantitative yields with a high regio and stereoselectivity.This method can be applied succesfully to other flycidic derivatives: glycidoamides, glycidonitriles, glycidoiminoesters...The spectrometric properties (IR, NMR) are presented.

Mechanism of the Reaction of Nitriles with Alkaline Hydrogen Peroxide. Reactivity of Peroxycarboximidic Acid and Application to Superoxide Ion Reaction

Formation of peroxycarboximidic acid (1) is not rate-determining in the reaction of nitrile with alkaline hydrogen peroxide to form amide and oxygen; the yield of amide based on H2O2 varies from 20 to 60percent.When dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), a reactive substrate, is added, the rate is independent of and governed in turn by a rate-determining addition of HOO- to nitrile.This reaction gives a reliable α-value of kHOO-/kHO-, which is 10000 for benzonitrile.A facile conversion of nitrile to amide may be achieved by the reaction in the presence of DMSO, unacco mpanied by side reactions such as the epoxyamide formation from α,β-unsaturated nitrile.Kinetics and product analysis suggest that a predominant reaction is not a non-radical oxidation of H2O2 with 1 but a radical decomposition of H2O2 which is induced by the homolysis of anion of 1 (1A).No singlet oxygen could be trapped chemically.The reaction of superoxide ion, O2-., with acetonitrile is shown to be analogous to that of HOO-; the decomposition of O2-. is fast in the presence of MeCN and DMSO in benzene, affording acetamide and dimethyl sulfone.
