BF3·OEt2-Promoted Propargyl Alcohol Rearrangement/[1,5]-Hydride Transfer/Cyclization Cascade Affording Tetrahydroquinolines

An efficient BF3·OEt2-mediated propargyl alcohol rearrangement/[1,5]-hydride transfer/cyclization cascade for the synthesis of tetrahydroquinoline derivatives has been described. The substituents adjacent to triple bonds play an important role in the formation of ketones (via [1,3]-hydroxyl shift) or alkenyl fluorides which are products of formal trans-carbofluorination of internal alkynes. This method provides a rapid access to diverse heterocycles in moderate to excellent yields.

Trans Influence of Ligands on the Oxidation of Gold(I) Complexes

Gold(I) complexes are considered active species toward oxidative addition; current understanding indicates a different mechanism in contrast to other late transition metals, but a rational understanding of the reactivity profile is lacking. Herein, we propose that the accessibility of the gold(I) center to tri- or tetra-coordination is critical in the oxidative process involving a tri- or tetra-coordinate gold(I) with the oxidizing reagent as one of the ligands as an intermediate. A computational study of the geometry of (Phen)R3PAu(I)NTf2 complexes shows that the accessibility of such tricoordinate species shows a good correlation with the "trans influence" of phosphine ligands: the weak σ-donating phosphine ligands promote tricoordination of gold(I) complexes. The oxidative addition to the asymmetric tricoordinate (Phen)R3PAu(I)NTf2 complexes with alkynyl hypervalent iodine reagents was built. The kinetic profile of the oxidative addition exhibits a good relationship to the Hammett substituent parameter (ρ = 3.75, R2 = 0.934), in which the gold(I) complexes bearing less σ-donating phosphine ligands increase the rate of oxidative addition. The positive ρ indicates a high sensitivity of the oxidative addition to the trans influence. The reactivity profile of oxidative addition to a linear bis(pyridine)gold(I) complex further supports that the oxidative addition to gold(I) complexes is promoted by ligands with small trans influence.

An Additive-Free, Base-Catalyzed Protodesilylation of Organosilanes

We report an additive-free, base-catalyzed C-, N-, O-, and S-Si bond cleavage of various organosilanes in mild conditions. The novel catalyst system exhibits high efficiency and good functional group compatibility, providing the corresponding products in good to excellent yields with low catalyst loadings. Overall, this transition-metal-free process may offer a convenient and general alternative to current employing excess bases, strong acids, or metal-catalyzed systems for the protodesilylation of organosilanes.

Reaction discovery using acetylene gas as the chemical feedstock accelerated by the stop-flow micro-tubing reactor system

Acetylene gas has been applied as a feedstock under transition-metal catalysis and photo-redox conditions to produce important chemicals including terminal alkynes, fulvenes, and fluorinated styrene compounds. The reaction discovery process was accelerated through the use of stop-flow micro-tubing reactors. This reactor prototype was developed by joining elements from both continuous micro-flow and conventional batch reactors, which was convenient and effective for gas/liquid reaction screening. Notably, the developed transformations were either inefficient or unsuccessful in conventional batch reactors. Its success relies on the unique advantages provided by this stop-flow micro-tubing reactor system.
