Air-stable nickel precatalysts for fast and quantitative cross-coupling of aryl sulfamates with aryl neopentylglycolboronates at room temperature

A library containing 10 air-stable NiIIX(Aryl)(PCy3)2 complexes as precatalysts (X = Cl, Br, OTs, OMs, aryl = 1-naphthyl, 2-naphthyl; X = Cl, 1-acenaphthenyl, 1-(2-methoxynaphthyl), 9-phenanthrenyl, 9-anthracyl) was synthesized and demonstrated to quantitatively cross-couple 2-methoxyphenyl dimethylsulfamate with methyl 4-(5,5-dimethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborinane-2-yl)benzoate at 23 °C in dry THF in the presence of K3PO4(H2O)3.2 in less than 60 min. Lower or higher amounts of H2O in K3PO4 and as received THF mediate the same transformation in a maximum three times longer reaction time.

Light-induced carbocyclization of iodoalkenes

The direct irradiation of iodoalkenes leads to the formation of carbon-centered radical by homolysis of the C-I bond. The photoreaction is used in cyclizations with formation of six membered rings.

Nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen in naphthalene by chloride (Cl -) in ionic liquids

Nucleophilic aromatic substitution of hydrogen in non-activated aromatic ring, a very rare phenomenon in organic chemistry, is found in ionic liquids containing Cl- as anion under mild reaction conditions. The reaction may be carried out by the addition of the halogen-bonding adduct (Br 2Cl-) as nucleophile to aromatic ring carbon atom, leading to the formation of the nucleophilic substitution product.

Behavior and prediction of photochemical degradation of chlorinated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in cyclohexane

The photochemical degradation of 11 chlorinated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (ClPAHs) and the corresponding 5 parent PAHs was examined to simulate the compound's fate on aerosol surfaces. All the ClPAHs and PAHs decayed according to the first-order reaction rate kinetics. The photolysis rates of ClPAHs varied greatly according to the skeleton of PAHs; the rates of chlorophenanthrenes (ClPhes) and 1-chloropyrene were higher than those of corresponding parent PAHs, whereas chlorofluoranthenes, 7-chlorobenz[a]anthracene and 6-chlorobenzo[a]pyrene were more stable under irradiation compared to respective parent PAH. Considering the photoproducts of ClPhes detected, the oxidation could occur immediately at positions of the highest frontier electron density. Finally, the quantitative structure-property relationship models were developed for direct photolysis half-lives and average quantum yields of the ClPAHs and parent PAHs, in which the significant factors affecting photolysis were ELUMO+1, total energy and surface area, and ELUMO, ELUMO - EHOMO and total energy, respectively.

A novel application of the Diels-Alder reaction: nitronaphthalenes as normal electron demand dienophiles

Thermal reactions between nitronaphthalenes and butadienes were studied. It was demonstrated that these reactions are capable of undergoing the normal electron demand Diels-Alder reaction, with a variety of dienes affording the phenanthrene derivatives. The influence of the extension and type of substitution was also discussed. When the electron-withdrawing activation of the naphthalenic nucleus or the donor properties of the dienes were not enough, N-naphthylpyrroles were detected as main product, suggesting that a competitive reaction would probably take place. The results clearly confirmed the dienophilic nature of nitronaphthalenic double bonds and provided an alternative procedure for phenanthrene derivatives and N-naphthylpyrroles' synthesis. The relative reactivity of the reactants and the viability of the reactions were discussed from a theoretical point of view.

Oxidative halogenation of aromatic compounds with metal halides and sodium bismuthate

A new mild and efficient method for aromatic halogenation with a wide variety of halides in the presence of sodium bismuthate NaBO3 in AcOH is reported. Metal halides of groups Ia, IIa, IIIa, IVa, Va, and the first row of transition elements are suitable for this method.

Analysis and structure prediction of chlorinated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons released from combustion of polyvinylchloride

Chlorinated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (Cl-PAHs) released from combustion of polyvinylchloride (PVC) at different furnace temperatures were investigated. A laboratory-scale tube-type furnace with electric heating was utilized to control combustion conditions. Glass fabric filters and adsorbents were used to collect the combustion emissions. Following Soxhlet extraction, concentration and column chromatography purification, isomers separation, selective detection and identification of Cl-PAHs were performed on GC/MS system on the basis of retention data and mass spectra. Their quantification was accomplished by using external standard calibration technique. About 18 Cl-PAHs were determined, most of which were monochlorinated derivatives of naphthalene, biphenyl, fluorene, phenanthrene, anthracene, fluoranthene and pyrene. Only two dichlorophenanthrenes or anthracenes were identified. The possible positions of chlorine atoms attached to the aromatic rings are predicted by quantitative structure-property relationship. The levels of these compounds were in the range of 0.30-29.08 μg/g PVC. The relationship between the formation of Cl-PAHs and PAHs was discussed.

Iodination and chlorination of aromatic polycyclic hydrocarbons with iodine monochloride in aqueous sulfuric acid

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons when treated with iodine monochloride in water solutions of sulfuric acid afford iodo-and chloroderivatives. Biphenyl, fluorene, acenaphthene, 1-nitronaphthalene undergo iodination. Naphthalene furnishes a mixture of iodo-and chloroderivatives, prevailing the latter. Anthracene and phenanthrene provide only chlorinated products. The iodine monochloride in the sulfuric acid is a stronger iodinating agent than in acetonitrile.

Unexpected high temperature behaviour of 2,2′-diethynylbiphenyl in the gas phase - A precursor for acephenanthrylene instead of pyrene

Flash Vacuum Thermolysis (FVT) of 2,2′-diethynylbiphenyl (6) gave, instead of pyrene (5), acephenanthrylene (10) and fluoranthene (11) as major products. The unequivocal identification of 9-ethynylphenanthrene (12) at T ≤ 800°C suggests that 12 is the initial stable product derived from 6. It is documented that under high-temperature conditions in the gas phase compound 12 is efficiently converted into 10, which subsequently rearranges to 11. The formation of 12 from 6 is rationalized by invoking the transient formation of cyclobuta[l]phenanthrene (13) by intramolecular cyclization of the ethynyl moieties of 6 followed by a reiro-carbene C-H insertion and a 1,2-H shift. This interpretation is supported by the results of independent FVT of 2,2′-bis(1-chloroethenyl)biphenyl (15). Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 1997.
