The direct regioselective C−H-functionalization of simple, unfunctionalized pyridines is considered a long-standing challenge in heterocyclic chemistry. Herein, we report a novel one-pot protocol for the C4-selective sulfonylation of pyridines via triflic anhydride (Tf2O) activation, base-mediated addition of a sulfinic acid salt, and subsequent elimination/re-aromatization. Contrary to previous approaches employing tailored blocking groups, positional selectivity can be controlled by using N-methylpiperidine as simple, readily available external base. This method offers a highly modular and streamlined access to C4-sulfonylated pyridines.
A stereoselective synthesis of isoindolo[2,1-a]quinolin-11(5H)-ones containing three contiguous stereogenic centers is described. This Lewis-acid mediated reaction of enamides with N-aryl-acylimines affords the desired fused heterocyclic isoindolinones in high yields and diastereoselectivities. Scope and limitations of this method are discussed. The stereochemical outcome of this transformation indicates a stepwise reaction pathway.
A novel method for the synthesis of nitro fatty acids (NFAs), an intriguing class of endogenously occurring lipid mediators, is reported. This one-pot procedure enables the controlled and stereoselective construction of nitro fatty acids from a simple set of common building blocks in a highly facile manner. Thereby, this methodology offers a streamlined, highly modular access to naturally occurring nitro fatty acids as well as non-natural NFA derivatives.
Sulfones play a pivotal role in modern organic chemistry. They are highly versatile building blocks and find various applications as drugs, agrochemicals, or functional materials. Therefore, sustainable access to this class of molecules is of great interest. Herein, the goal was to provide a summary on recent developments in the field of sustainable sulfone synthesis. Advances and existing limitations in traditional approaches towards sulfones were reviewed on selected examples. Furthermore, novel emerging technologies for a more sustainable sulfone synthesis and future directions were discussed.
A concept for the quantification of cooperative effects in transition-metal complexes is presented. It is demonstrated for a series of novel N,N- (mononuclear) and C,N-coordinated homo- and heterometallic binuclear complexes based on the (2-dimethylamino)-4-(2-pyrimidinyl)pyrimidine ligand, which are accessible by applying roll-over cyclometallation. These iridium-, platinum-, and palladium-containing compounds are investigated with respect to their absorption and fluorescence spectra. The cooperative effects in the electronic absorptions, i. e., the energetic shifts between mononuclear and dinuclear complexes, and free ligands are analyzed on the basis of the lowest energy π-π* transitions and compared to calculated data, obtained from TD-DFT calculations. Furthermore the corresponding fluorescence spectra are presented and analyzed with respect to the concept of cooperativity.
A highly diastereoselective one-pot synthesis of the 1,3-diamino-2-alcohol unit bearing three continuous stereocenters is described. This method utilizes 2-oxyenamides as a novel type of building block for the rapid assembly of the 1,3-diamine scaffold containing an additional stereogenic oxygen functionality at the C2 position. A stereoselective preparation of the required (Z)-oxyenamides is reported as well.
Palladium-Catalyzed Decarboxylative 1,2-Addition of Carboxylic Acids to Glyoxylic Acid Esters
(2021)
The formation of C−C-bonds constitutes one of the most fundamental synthetic operations in organic chemistry. The nucleophilic addition of preformed organometallic reagents to an electrophilic carbonyl functionality represents a classical method for the selective construction of a C−C-bond. However, the synthesis and utilization of an organometallic reagent is associated with an unfavorable environmental profile. Herein, we disclose a Palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative 1,2-addition of carboxylic acids to glyoxylic acid esters. This novel method provides access to the mandelic acid scaffold in good yields. Easy-to-handle and readily available benzoic acids are utilized as more sustainable alternative to preformed organometallic nucleophiles.
Using the mixed-metal approach, a direct synthesis route at ambient pressure was developed for a new type of bimetallic metal-organic framework based on the CPO-27 structure. The structural characterization of CPO-27(Cu0.6−CS−Co0.4) using X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray mapping and X-ray absorption spectroscopy revealed that the Cu2+ and Co2+ ions were exclusively incorporated at the metal positions of the CPO-27 lattice, but with a core-shell distribution within the crystallites. The parent framework material was then utilized as a precursor for the generation of novel bimetallic carbon-supported materials using the controlled thermal decomposition in a reducing atmosphere. During this decomposition process, the distribution of the two metals remained the same, which resulted in unique needle-shaped particles with a high dispersion of cobalt at the periphery of the amorphous carbon and agglomerated copper particles in the inside.
Spin Hamiltonian parameters of a pentanuclear Os Ni cyanometallate complex are derived from ab initio wave function based calculations, namely valence-type configuration interaction calculations with a complete active space including spin-orbit interaction (CASOCI) in a single-step procedure. While fits of experimental data performed so far could reproduce the data but the resulting parameters were not satisfactory, the parameters derived in the present work reproduce experimental data and at the same time have a reasonable size. The one-centre parameters (local matrices and single-ion zero field splitting tensors) are within an expected range, the anisotropic exchange parameters obtained in this work for an Os−Ni pair are not exceedingly large but determine the low-T part of the experimental χT curve. Exchange interactions (both isotropic and anisotropic) obtained from CASOCI have to be scaled by a factor of 2.5 to obtain agreement with experiment, a known deficiency of such types of calculation. After scaling the parameters, the isotropic Os−Ni exchange coupling constant is cm−1 and the D parameter of the (nearly axial) anisotropic Os−Ni exchange is −1, so anisotropic exchange is larger in absolute size than isotropic exchange. The negative value of the isotropic J (indicating antiferromagnetic coupling) seemingly contradicts the large-temperature behaviour of the temperature dependent susceptibility curve, but this is caused by the negative g value of the Os centres. This negative g value is a universal feature of a pseudo-octahedral coordination with configuration and strong spin-orbit interaction. Knowing the size of these exchange interactions is important because Os(CN) is a versatile building block for the synthesis of / magnetic materials.
Nucleophilic substitution of [(η5-cyclopentadienyl)(η6-chlorobenzene)iron(II)] hexafluorophosphate with sodium imidazolate resulted in the formation of [(η5-cyclopentadienyl)(η6-phenyl)iron(II)]imidazole hexafluorophosphate. The corresponding dicationic imidazolium salt, which was obtained by treating this imidazole precursor with methyl iodide, underwent cyclometallation with bis[dichlorido(η5-1,2,3,4,5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl]iridium(III) in the presence of triethyl amine. The resulting bimetallic iridium(III) complex is the first example of an NHC complex bearing a cationic and cyclometallated [(η5-cyclopentadienyl)(η6-phenyl)iron(II)]+ substituent. As its iron(II) precursors, the bimetallic iridium(III) complex was fully characterized by means of spectroscopy, elemental analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction. In addition, it was investigated in a catalytic study, wherein it showed high activity in transfer hydrogenation compared to its neutral analogue having a simple phenyl instead of a cationic [(η5-cyclopentadienyl)(η6-phenyl)iron(II)]+ unit at the NHC ligand.
