Intramolecular Photochemical Hydrogen Abstraction in 2-Alkylpyrazines and 2-Alkylpyridines

Photochemical hydrogen abstraction in 2-alkylpyrazines 5-8 and 2-alkylpyridines 9-11 proceeds analogously to the process of eq 1.Hydroxylic solvent causes quantum yields for pyrazine fragmentation products (Φp) to increase about 1 order of magnitude.Pyridine fragmentation takes place from both singlet and triplet states.Pyrazine fragmentations follow Stern-Volmer kinetics with modest bond strength selectivity (1 deg : 3 deg ca. 1:17 for 5a and 5c).Methyl substitution lowers the rate of abstraction in pyrazines and trifluoromethyl substitution increases Φp in pyridines.It is suggested that these effects reflect changes in the n?* and ??* character of the reactive excited states.

Unlocking the Accessibility of Alkyl Radicals from Boronic Acids through Solvent-Assisted Organophotoredox Activation

Despite their prevalence in organic synthesis, the application of boronic acids (BAs) as alkyl radical precursors in visible-light-assisted photocatalyzed reactions has been limited by their high oxidation potential. This study demonstrates the prominent

Odd-Even Effect on the Spin-Crossover Temperature in Iron(II) Complex Series Involving an Alkylated or Acyloxylated Tripodal Ligand

In the context of magneto-structural study, a relatively short alkyl group was introduced to anionic spin-crossover (SCO) building blocks based on [Fe(py3CR)(NCS)3]-, where py3CR stands for tris(2-pyridyl)methyl derivatives. The linear alkyl and acyloxyl derivatives of Me4N[Fe(py3CR)(NCS)3] with R = CnH2n+1 (n = 1-7) and CnH2n+1CO2 (n = 1-6) were synthesized, and the magnetic study revealed that all the compounds investigated here exhibited SCO. The SCO temperature (T1/2) varied in 289-338 K for the alkylated compounds, and those of the acyloxylated ones were lower with a narrower variation width (T1/2 = 216-226 K). The crystal structures of the former with n = 3, 4, and 5 and the latter with n = 1, 4, 5, and 6 were determined, and various molecular arrangements were characterized. There is no structural evidence for a molecular fastener effect. The plots on T1/2 against n displayed a pronounced odd-even effect; the SCO temperatures of the homologues with even n are relatively higher than those of the homologues with odd n. The odd-even effect on T1/2 may be related with the entropy difference across the SCO, rather than crystal field modification or intermolecular interaction. The present work will help molecular design to fine-tune T1/2 by means of simple chemical modification like alkylation and acyloxylation.

Enantioselective Alkylation of 2-Alkylpyridines Controlled by Organolithium Aggregation

Direct enantioselective α-alkylation of 2-alkylpyridines provides access to chiral pyridines via an operationally simple protocol that obviates the need for prefunctionalization or preactivation of the substrate. The alkylation is accomplished using chiral lithium amides as noncovalent stereodirecting auxiliaries. Crystallographic and solution NMR studies provide insight into the structure of well-defined chiral aggregates in which a lithium amide reagent directs asymmetric alkylation.

The one-pot synthesis of pyridine derivatives from the corresponding 1,5-dicarbonyl compounds

The optimization of the one-pot, acid-promoted synthesis of pyridine and alkylpyridine derivatives from simple alkyl-1,5-dicarbonyl derivatives and via the corresponding oxime intermediate is described. Of all the combinations of and solvents tested, the use of HCl in refluxing dioxane was found to result in the highest chemical yields. Twelve pyridines were prepared using this method.

Manganese-Catalyzed Kumada Cross-Coupling Reactions of Aliphatic Grignard Reagents with N-Heterocyclic Chlorides

Herein we report the use of manganese(II) chloride for the catalytic generation of C(sp 2)-C(sp 3) bonds via Kumada cross-coupling. Rapid and selective formation of 2-alkylated N-heterocyclic complexes were observed in high yields with use of 3 mol% MnCl 2 THF 1.6 and under ambient reaction conditions (21 °C, 15 min to 20 h). Manganese-catalyzed cross-coupling is tolerant toward both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing functional groups in the 5-position of the pyridine ring, with the latter resulting in an increased reaction rate and a decrease in the amount of nucleophile required. The use of this biologically and environmentally benign metal salt as a catalyst for C-C bond formation highlights its potential as a catalyst for the late-stage functionalization of pharmaceutically active N-heterocyclic molecules (e.g., pyridine, pyrazine).

Cross-coupling reactions through the intramolecular activation of Alkyl(triorgano)silanes

(Figure Presented) Cross-Si-ing the Jordan: Cross-coupling reactions of 2-(2-hydroxyprop-2-yl)phenylsubstituted alkylsilanes with a variety of aryl halides proceed in the presence of palladium and copper catalysts. The use of K3PO4 base allows for highly chemoselective alkyl coupling with both primary and secondary alkyl groups (Alk).

Nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of alkyl aryl sulfides and alkenyl alkyl sulfides with alkyl grignard reagents using (Z)-3,3-dimethyl-1,2- bis(diphenylphosphino)but-1-ene as ligand

A combination of nickel(II) acetylacetonate and (Z)-3,3-dimethyl-1,2- bis(diphenylphosphino)but-1-ene catalyzes cross-coupling reactions of alkyl aryl sulfides and alkenyl alkyl sulfides with alkyl Grignard reagents. Not only primary but also secondary alkyl Grignard reagents can be employed. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.

Nickel catalyzed cross-coupling of modified alkyl and alkenyl Grignard reagents with aryl- and heteroaryl nitriles: Activation of the C-CN bond

The nickel catalyzed cross-coupling of alkyl and alkenyl Grignard reagents with aryl nitrile derivatives affords good yields of the corresponding aryl alkanes or aryl alkenes via activation of the C-CN bond. To prevent direct addition of the nucleophile to the nitrile group, the reactivity of the Grignard reagent was modulated by reaction with either LiOt-Bu or PhSLi prior to cross-coupling. The optimum catalyst was determined to be NiCl2(PMe3)2, which is a convenient air stable commercially available complex.
