Ionic Pathways in the Photochemistry of Cyclic Sulfite Esters

The photochemistry of cyclic carbonate esters proceeds by the photochemical extrusion of carbon dioxide to give 1, 3-diradicals which produce oxiranes as well as other radical derived species. The corresponding cyclic sulfite esters, upon irradiation, give intermediates that are trapped by alcohols yet generate no oxiranes. These results are consistent with ionic intermediates.

Pyridine-directed organolithium addition to an enol ether

A previously reported anionic rearrangement of benzyl 2-pyridyl ethers can now be accessed by a distinct and unusual mechanism: addition of alkyllithium reagents to α-(2-pyridyloxy)-styrene triggers an anionic rearrangement to afford tertiary pyridyl carbinols. The process is explained by invoking a contra-electronic, pyridine-directed carbolithiation of the enol ether π-system. Copyright

Metal-organic frameworks as efficient heterogeneous catalysts for the regioselective ring opening of epoxides

An iron-based metal-organic framework, [Fe(BTC)] (BTC: 1,3, 5benzenetricarboxylate) is an efficient catalyst in the ring opening of styrene oxide with alcohols and aniline under mild reaction conditions. Out of the various alcohols tested for ring opening of styrene oxide, methanol was found to be the most reactive in terms of percentage conversion and reactivity. The rate of the ring-opening reaction of styrene oxide decreases as the size of the alcohol is increased, suggesting the location of active sites in micropores. [Fe(BTC)] was a truly heterogeneous catalyst and could be reused without loss of activity. The analogous compound [Cu3(BTC)2] was also found to be effective, although with somewhat lower activity than [Fe(BTC)]. The present heterogeneous protocol is compared with a homogeneous catalyst to give an insight into the reaction mechanism.
