Hypervalent iodine-mediated oxidative olefination of amines with an active methylene compound provides a rapid gateway towards the formation of electrophilic alkenes under mild reaction conditions in good to excellent yields. This is an efficient protocol for the preparation of substituted electrophilic alkenes.

A new protocol of cascade synthesis for biologically active 2-cyanoacrylamides (1) was developed. The reaction proceeds over a novel magnetically retrievable solid-acid composite of iron oxide, poly(vinylpyrrolidone) and phosphotungstic acid (Fe3O4/PVP–PWA) in AcOH–H2O medium under reflux conditions. This transformation is facilitated through single-site Br?nsted acid catalyzed cascade reactions involving deacetalization and/or Knoevenagel condensation followed by selective monohydration of nitriles starting from acetals (5) and aldehydes (2) with malononitrile (3). A series of aldehydes, dimethyl and diethyl acetals, along with some heterocyclic aldehydes were successfully transformed to 2-cyanoacrylamides with >95 % yields. TEM images confirmed the coating of the PVP over nanosized Fe3O4. Stereoselective monohydration of 2-benzylidenemalononitriles (4) to E isomers was demonstrated by NOESY experiments. The catalyst could be efficiently recycled seven times on employment of both acetals and aldehydes as substrates, as a result of its magnetic nature.

A mild, elegant, catalyst free, and waste free methodology has been developed for the clear-cut synthesis of a diverse range of nitriles, acrylates, and acrylamides in good to excellent yields using aqueous propan-1,2-diol, a green reaction medium, at ambient temperature. Operational simplicity and recyclability of the reaction medium are added advantages of the methodology.

Microwave assisted non-catalytic condensation of 2-cyanoacetamide with aromatic aldehydes, and enolate mediated Michael-type addition to acrylamide followed by oxidative cyclization, produce 2-pyridones in good to excellent yield. Unsymmetrical ketones produce two regioisomeric enolates, therefore thermodynamic and kinetic products of butan-2-one and pentan-2-one have been isolated and fully characterized. This journal is

A series of 69 polar olefins with various typical structures (X) were synthesized and the thermodynamic affinities (defined in terms of the molar enthalpy changes or the standard redox potentials in this work) of the polar olefins obtaining hydride anions, hydrogen atoms, and electrons, the thermodynamic affinities of the radical anions of the polar olefins (X ?-) obtaining protons and hydrogen atoms, and the thermodynamic affinities of the hydrogen adducts of the polar olefins (XH?) obtaining electrons in acetonitrile were determined using titration calorimetry and electrochemical methods. The pure Ci - 'C π-bond heterolytic and homolytic dissociation energies of the polar olefins (X) in acetonitrile and the pure Ci - 'C π-bond homolytic dissociation energies of the radical anions of the polar olefins (X?-) in acetonitrile were estimated. The remote substituent effects on the six thermodynamic affinities of the polar olefins and their related reaction intermediates were examined using the Hammett linear free-energy relationships; the results show that the Hammett linear free-energy relationships all hold in the six chemical and electrochemical processes. The information disclosed in this work could not only supply a gap of the chemical thermodynamics of olefins as one class of very important organic unsaturated compounds but also strongly promote the fast development of the chemistry and applications of olefins.

Knoevenagel condensation of aromatic aldehydes with active methylene compounds such as malononitrile, ethylcyanoacetate, and cyanoacetamide proceeded very smoothly in reusable and cheap ionic liquid 2-hydroxyethylammonium formate at room temperature in the absence of a catalyst. Compared to other reported ionic liquids, the ionic liquid 2-hydroxyethylammonium formate shows better potential in the applications on the industrial scale with its low cost and viscosity.
