Practical acetalization and transacetalization of carbonyl compounds catalyzed by recyclable PVP-I

A novel PVP-I catalyzed acetalizations/transacetalizations of carbonyl compounds has been developed processing with a mild and easy handling fashion. Different types of Acyclic and cyclic acetals were prepared from carbonyl compounds or their acetals successfully. Further applications of newly developed catalytic combination were testified. This protocol featured with simplicity of operation, mild reaction condition, short reaction time, recyclable of catalyst and broad substrates scope with excellent yields.

Synthesis of 4-(ω-X-alkyl)benzonitriles (X = 1,3-dioxan-2-yl, CN, CO2Et) by the reaction of terephthalonitrile dianion with ω-X-alkyl bromides in liquid ammonia

The main products of the reaction of terephthalonitrile dianion disodium salt with ω-X-alkyl bromides (2-(2-bromoethyl)-1,3-dioxane, 5-bromovaleronitrile, ethyl 6-bromohexanoate) in liquid ammonia are the corresponding 4-(ω-X-alkyl)benzonitriles. Similar

Synthesis of oxacyclic scaffolds via dual ruthenium hydride/Bronsted acid-catalyzed isomerization/cyclization of allylic ethers

A ruthenium hydride/Bronsted acid-catalyzed tandem sequence is reported for the synthesis of 1,3,4,9-tetrahydropyrano[3,4-b]indoles (THPIs) and related oxacyclic scaffolds. The process was designed on the premise that readily available allylic ethers would undergo sequential isomerization, first to enol ethers (Ru catalysis), then to oxocarbenium ions (Bronsted acid catalysis) amenable to endo cyclization with tethered nucleophiles. This methodology provides not only an attractive alternative to the traditional oxa-Pictet-Spengler reaction for the synthesis of THPIs, but also convenient access to THPI congeners and other important oxacycles such as acetals.

Oxidative coupling reactions of grignard reagents with nitrous oxide

Catalysis with laughing gas: N2O in combination with transition-metal catalysts allow the oxidative homo- and cross-coupling of Grignard reagents. The reactions can be performed under mild conditions despite the inert character of N2O. Copyright

Suzuki-miyaura cross-coupling reactions of unactivated alkyl halides catalyzed by a nickel pincer complex

A nickel(II) pincer complex, [(MeN2N)Ni-Cl], was used to catalyze alkyl-alkyl and alkyl-aryl Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions of unactivated alkyl halides. The coupling of 9-alkyl-9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane and 9-phenyl-9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane reagents with alkyl halides was achieved in modest to good yields. The reactions tolerated a variety of useful functional groups including ester, ether, furan, thioether, acetal, and Boc groups. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart, New York.

Copper nanoparticle-catalyzed cross-coupling of alkyl halides with Grignard reagents

A cross-coupling reaction between alkyl bromides and chlorides and various Grignard reagents was carried out in the presence of commercially available copper or copper oxide nanoparticles as a catalyst and an alkyne additive. The catalytic system shows high activity, a broad scope, and good functional group tolerance.

Mesoporous poly-melamine-formaldehyde (mPMF)-a highly efficient catalyst for chemoselective acetalization of aldehydes

A mesoporous poly-melamine-formaldehyde polymer with a high surface area, good porosity and a high density of amine and triazine functional groups was investigated as a highly efficient hydrogen-bonding catalyst. This porous organic polymer was found to be highly effective in catalyzing chemoselective acetalization of aldehydes, without the consumption of any dehydrating agents. The turnover frequency of mesoporous poly-melamine-formaldehyde is hundreds of times higher than melamine monomer, and this high efficiency is due to the high density of aminal (-NH-CH2-NH-) groups and triazine rings in the polymer network, which provides an inherently powerful system with multiple hydrogen bonds. This unique characteristic imparts mesoporous poly-melamine-formaldehyde polymer with a very high activity as a heterogeneous organocatalyst. The polymer is also low cost, and easy to be synthesized and recycled.

TMDS-Pd/C: A convenient system for the reduction of acetals to ethers

A simple and practical procedure for the reduction of acetals to ethers is described. It is based on the use of a 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane (TMDS)-Pd/C system in the presence of a Br?nsted acid as the co-catalyst. The reaction occurs under mild conditions and ethers are obtained in high yields.

Functional group tolerant Kumada-Corriu-Tamao coupling of nonactivated alkyl halides with aryl and heteroaryl nucleophiles: Catalysis by a nickel pincer complex permits the coupling of functionalized Grignard reagents

A nickel(II) pincer complex [(MeNN2)NiCl] (1) catalyzes Kumada-Corriu-Tamao cross coupling of nonactivated alkyl halides with aryl and heteroaryl Grignard reagents. The coupling of octyl bromide with phenylmagnesium chloride was used as a test reaction. Using 3 mol % of 1 as the precatalyst and THF as the solvent, and in the presence of a catalytic amount of TMEDA, the coupling product was obtained in a high yield. The reaction conditions could be applied to cross coupling of other primary and secondary alkyl bromides and iodides. The coupling is tolerant to a wide range of functional groups. Therefore, alkyl halides containing ester, amide, ether, thioether, alcohol, pyrrole, indole, furan, nitrile, conjugated enone, and aryl halide moieties were coupled to give high isolated yields of products in which these units stay intact. For the coupling of ester-containing substrates, O-TMEDA is a better additive than TMEDA. The reaction protocol proves to be efficient for the coupling of Knochel-type functionalized Grignard reagents. Thus aryl Grignard reagents containing electron-deficient and/or sensitive ester, nitrile, amide, and CF3 substituents could be successfully coupled to nonactivated and functionalized alkyl iodides. The catalysis is also efficient for the coupling of alkyl iodides with functionalized heteroaryl Grignard reagents, giving rise to pyridine-, thiophene-, pyrazole-, furan-containing molecules with additional functionalities. Concerning the mechanism of the catalysis, [(MeNN2)Ni-(hetero)Ar] was identified as an intermediate, and the activation of alkyl halides was found to take place through a radical-rebound process.

Highly efficient and chemoselective acetalization of carbonyl compounds catalyzed by new and reusab e zirconyl triflate, zr0(0tf)2

Various types of aromatic aldehydes were efficiently converted to their corresponding 1,3-dioxanes and 1,3-dioxolane with 1,3-propanediol and ethylene glycol, respectively, in the presence of catalytic amount of ZrO(OTf) 2 in acetonitrile at room temperature. The catalyst can be reused several times without loss of its catalytic activity. Very short reaction times, selective acetalization of aromatic aldehydes in the presence of aliphatic aldehydes and ketones, very mild reaction conditions, reusability of the catalyst, and easy workup are noteworthy advantages of this method.
