Diarylrhodates as promising active catalysts for the arylation of vinyl ethers with grignard reagents

Anionic diarylrhodium complexes, generated by reacting [RhCl(cod)] 2 with 2 equiv of aryl Grignard reagents, were found to be effective active catalysts in cross-coupling reactions of vinyl ethers with aryl Grignard reagents, giving rise to the production of vinyl arenes. In this catalytic system, vinyl-O bonds were preferably cleaved over Ar-O or Ar-Br bonds. A lithium rhodate complex was isolated, and its crystal structure was determined by X-ray crystallography.

Mechanistic insight into halide oxidation by non-heme iron complexes. Haloperoxidase versus halogenase activity

This work presents the first detailed study on mechanistic aspects of halide oxidation by non-heme iron complexes. We show that while iron(iii)-hydroperoxo complexes oxidise halides via oxygen atom transfer, the corresponding iron(iv)-oxo complex reacts via electron transfer.

Expanded substrate scope and improved reactivity of ether-forming cross-coupling reactions of organotrifluoroborates and acetals

Mixed acetals and organotrifluoroborates undergo BF3· OEt2-promoted cross-couplings to give dialkyl ethers under simple, mild conditions. A survey of reaction partners identified a hydroxamate leaving group that improves the regioselectivity and product yield in the BF 3·OEt2-promoted coupling reaction of mixed acetals and potassium alkynyl-, alkenyl-, aryl- and heteroaryltrifluoroborates to access substituted dialkyl ethers. This leaving group enables the reaction to proceed rapidly under mild conditions (0 °C, 5-60 min) and permits reactions with electron-deficient potassium aryltrifluoroborates that are less reactive with other acetal substrates. A study of the reaction mechanism and characterization of key intermediates by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography identified a role for the hydroxamate moiety as a reversible leaving group that serves to stabilize the key oxocarbenium intermediate and the need for a slight excess of organodifluoroborane to serve as a catalyst. A secondary role for the boron nucleophile as an activating ligand was also considered. These studies provide the basis for a general class of reagents that lead to dialkyl ethers by a simple, predictable cross-coupling reaction.

Chlorination of various substrates in subcritical carbon tetrachloride

Various aliphatic hydrocarbons and the side chains of aromatic hydrocarbons were chlorinated in subcritical carbon tetrachloride. Chlorination of aromatic compounds including 1,4-disubstituted benzenes was investigated. Ketones and sulfones were stable under the employed conditions. Sulfoxides were converted into sulfides in a low to modest yields. The coupling adducts between olefins and carbon tetrachloride were obtained from the reactions of olefins.

Synthesis and nucleophilic substitution reactions of mono α-fluoro ethers

Mono α-fluoro ethers have been prepared by cleavage of α-alkoxy sulfoxides with diethylaminosulfur trifluoride (DAST) and by an exchange reaction of the corresponding α-chloro ether with tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF). The reactivity of different α-fluoro ethers in some nucleophilic substitution reactions has been investigated. Copyright Acta Chemica Scandinavica 1999.

Intramolecular ortho and meta photocycloadditions of 3-alkyl-4-phenoxybut-1-enes

Upon irradiation of 3-alkyl-4-phenoxybut-1-enes 1a-d at 254 nm in cyclohexane, ortho and meta photocycloadditions occur. The ortho photocycloadducts rearrange readily, while the meta photocycloaddition involves the 2′,6′-positions of the arene as directed
