Electron-Transfer and Hydride-Transfer Pathways in the Stoltz–Grubbs Reducing System (KOtBu/Et3SiH)

Recent studies by Stoltz, Grubbs et al. have shown that triethylsilane and potassium tert-butoxide react to form a highly attractive and versatile system that shows (reversible) silylation of arenes and heteroarenes as well as reductive cleavage of C?O bonds in aryl ethers and C?S bonds in aryl thioethers. Their extensive mechanistic studies indicate a complex network of reactions with a number of possible intermediates and mechanisms, but their reactions likely feature silyl radicals undergoing addition reactions and SH2 reactions. This paper focuses on the same system, but through computational and experimental studies, reports complementary facets of its chemistry based on a) single-electron transfer (SET), and b) hydride delivery reactions to arenes.

Zn(salen)-catalyzed enantioselective phenyl transfer to aldehydes and ketones with organozinc reagent

Abstract A chiral zinc complex of salen was found to be an efficient catalyst for the phenyl transfer of organozinc reagent to aromatic aldehydes and ketones. High enantioselectivities were obtained in reactions of both aromatic aldehydes and ketones (up to 97% and 92% ee, respectively).

The thermofluoric behavior of poly(fluorenetolyldiphenylamine)-oxadiazole pair in a polymer matrix

Under UV irradiation, 1,4-bis(5-(4-octan-2-ylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl) naphthalene (NOXD) and poly(fluorenetolyldiphenylamine) (PFT) are blue light emissive in solid film. When NOXD and PFT were blended to form a neat thin-film, yellowish exciplex emi

Rhodium(I)/diene-catalyzed addition reactions of arylborons with ketones

Rh(I)/diene-catalyzed addition reactions of arylboroxines/arylboronic acids with unactivated ketones to form tertiary alcohols in good to excellent yields are described. By using C2-symmetric (3aR,6aR)-3,6-diaryl-1,3a,4,6a- tetrahydropentalenes as ligands, the asymmetric version of such an addition reaction, with up to 68% ee, was also realized.

Organosamariums: Preparation using diiodosamarium and reactivity in tetrahydropyran

Diiodosamarium prepared in tetrahydropyran reduces allylic, benzylic and alkyl halides at 0 or -15°C to give organosamariums which are stable under these conditions. The reactivity of these organometallics has been explored, showing that they are very sel

Generation and reactivity of allylic and benzylic samarium compounds using diiodosamarium in tetrahydropyran

Diiodosomarium prepared in THP reduces allylic iodides and bromides at 0 or -15°C to give organosamarium compounds which ore stable under these conditions. These allylic samarium compounds react with many functionalities including the keto group of keto esters. Benzylic samarium compounds were prepared similarly from benzylic bromides.

Transmetalation Reactions of Organosamarium Reagents. Chlorosilane-Accelerated Copper-Catalyzed Conjugate Additions

TMSCl accelerates the conjugate addition of in situ prepared organosamarium reagents to α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds and nitriles in the presence of HMPA and catalytic amounts of Cu(I) salts.Reactions at -78 deg C leads to silyl enol ethers which ar
