Mo–Catalyzed One-Pot Synthesis of N-Polyheterocycles from Nitroarenes and Glycols with Recycling of the Waste Reduction Byproduct. Substituent-Tuned Photophysical Properties

A catalytic domino reduction–imine formation–intramolecular cyclization–oxidation for the general synthesis of a wide variety of biologically relevant N-polyheterocycles, such as quinoxaline- and quinoline-fused derivatives, and phenanthridines, is reported. A simple, easily available, and environmentally friendly dioxomolybdenum(VI) complex has proven to be a highly efficient and versatile catalyst for transforming a broad range of starting nitroarenes involving several redox processes. Not only is this a sustainable, step-economical as well as air- and moisture-tolerant method, but also it is worth highlighting that the waste byproduct generated in the first step of the sequence is recycled and incorporated in the final target molecule, improving the overall synthetic efficiency. Moreover, selected indoloquinoxalines have been photophysically characterized in cyclohexane and toluene with exceptional fluorescence quantum yields above 0.7 for the alkyl derivatives.

Polymer-mediated pinacol rearrangements

Both poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) and poly(pyrrole) mediate a pinacol rearrangement of 1,2-diols. The yields of ketone or aldehyde products are comparable to those observed for treatment with mineral acids or Lewis acids. The advantage of this protocol is a two-phase reaction medium in hydrocarbon solvents that allows facile recovery of the products by simple filtration of the polymer and removal of solvents. Both the polymer and the hydrocarbon solvent may be recovered and used in subsequent reactions. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart · New York.

Efficient synthesis and hydrolysis of cyclic oxalate esters of glycols.

Based on the mechanism postulated for the formation of the cyclic carbonates 3 in the reactions of glycols 1 with oxalyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine, we present here three efficient syntheses of the cyclic oxalates 2 of various glycols 1 by controlling the formation of 3: replacement of the base by pyridine markedly diminishes yields of 3 in all reactions, realizing dramatic reversals of the product ratios in the reactions with the (R*,R*)-compounds 1g-i,q,r and pinacol (1k); although considerable amounts of the oxalate polymers are formed in the reactions with some (R*,S*)-glycols, this drawback can be removed by the use of 2,4,6-collidine instead of pyridine; 1,1'-oxalyldiimidazole is useful for the synthesis of two selected cyclic oxalates 2e,f. The cyclic oxalates 2 other than trisubstituted and tetrasubstituted ones were found to be very reactive: kinetic studies on the hydrolysis of 1,4-dioxane-2,3-dione (2a) as well as its mono- and some selected 5,6-disubstituted derivatives 2 have revealed that they undergo hydrolysis 260-1500 times more rapidly than diethyl oxalate (12) in acetate buffer-acetonitrile (pH 5.69) at 25 degrees C. Although the cyclic oxalate 21 from cis-1,2-cyclopentanediol (11) was 1.5 times more reactive than 2a, it has been shown with other substrates that increasing number of the alkyl substituents decreases the rate of hydrolysis. On the contrary, the phenyl group was found to have somewhat accelerative effect.

Direct formation of pinacols from olefins over various titano-silicates

The epoxidation and successive pinacol formation of tri- and tetraalkyl-substituted olefins using Ti-β/H2O2/H2O as the catalytic system has been investigated. Aluminum-free Ti-β exhibits better activity and pinacol selectivity than TS-1, TS-2, Ti-MCM-22, and mesoporous Ti-MCM-41. Pinacol (vic-diol) is obtained as the major product with small amounts of the side products pinacolone, alcohol (via hydration), and oligomers. The conversion and pinacol selectivity increase with an increase in reaction temperature and time. The change in product distribution with reaction time over Ti-β shows that the epoxide is the initial product which undergoes a secondary reaction to give pinacol as the major product. The conversion and H2O2 selectivity decrease with the bulkiness of the substituents at the C=C bond but the selectivity of pinacol is not significantly affected. The reactivity of cyclic 1-methyl-1-cyclohexene is considerably lower than that of the corresponding open-chain analogue 2-methyl-2-butene. The symmetrical tetramethyl-substituted 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene led to the formation of small amount of dimers over medium-pore titanium silicates TS-1, TS-2, and Ti-MCM-22. The epoxidation of these substituted olefins proceeded more rapidly when using acetonitrile as a cosolvent than under triphase conditions. Mechanistically, the primary epoxide product undergoes acid-catalyzed nucleophilic ring opening by H2O molecules to give pinacol.

Study of the addition of monoalkylphosphonic acids onto trialkyl-substituted epoxides

The addition of 2-chloroethylphosphonic acid (or ethephon), a well-known stimulating molecule for the production of latex by Hevea brasiliensis, onto 2,3-epoxy-2-methylbutane was investigated to enhance the understandings on the addition mechanisms of reagents of alkylphosphonic acid type onto trialkyl-substituted epoxides. It was demonstrated that the addition occurs according to a three-step mechanism including a rapid nucleophilic attack of the phosphorated anion on the most alkyl-substituted carbon of the oxirane, followed by formation of a dioxaphospholane structure with release of water, and finally a hydrolytic cleavage of the dioxaphospholane cycle to generate the regioisomer 1:1 adduct where the phosphorated group is on the less alkyl-substituted carbon of the initial oxirane.
