Ru-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenative/Transfer Hydrogenative Desymmetrization of Meso-Epoxy Diketones

Via a strategy of asymmetric reductive desymmetrization, chiral cis-epoxy naphthoquinols with multiple contiguous stereocenters and functional groups were synthesized with excellent enantioselectivities (96-99% ee) and diastereoselectivities (8/1-15/1). A combined asymmetric hydrogenation/transfer hydrogenation mechanism was proposed based on experimental results.

Single precursor for the synthesis of donor and acceptor units of the low band gap polymers: Synthesis of benzodithiophene and thienopyrroledione from maleic anhydride

An efficient route was developed to synthesize dimethyl thiophene-3,4-dicarboxylate from maleic anhydride. Dimethyl thiophene-3,4-dicarboxylate was used as a single precursor for synthesis of benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b′]dithiophene (BDT) and Thieno[3,4-c]pyrrole-4,6-dione (TPD) derivatives. BDT and TPD derivatives have been highly exploited as donor and acceptor units, respectively, to synthesize important donor-acceptor (D-A) conjugated polymers. BDT-based polymers were found to be one of the most efficient conjugated polymers for organic photovoltaic application. Synthesis of quinone precursor of the dihydroxybenzothiophene was accomplished by a new and unconventional methodology which includes reaction of 3,4-thiophene dicarboxylate with sodium hydride in THF. Dithienobenzoquinone dicarboxylate and dihydroxybenzodithiophene dicarboxylate were characterized structurally by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Both compounds show strong π-stacking interaction and arrange in the parallel molecular sheets in the crystals.

N-bromosuccinimide-dibenzoyl peroxide/azabisisobutyronitrile: A reagent for Z- to E-alkene isomerization

N-Bromosuccinimide-dibenzoyl peroxide/azobisisobutyronitrile is used to carry out several types of Z- to E-alkene isomerizations. The NBS-bromination conditions are sufficient for both allylic bromination and alkene isomerization. When the allylic hydrogens are not available in substrates, only the isomerization of the alkene takes place. The present conditions for isomerization of carbon-carbon double bonds are mild and efficient.
