Palladium-catalyzed heteroaryl thioethers synthesis overcoming palladium dithiolate resting states inertness: Practical road to sulfones and NH-sulfo…
2018
International audience; We provide efficient synthetic access to heteroaryl sulfones in two-steps using a simple palladium-1,1'-bis [(diphenyl)phosphanyl]ferrocene catalyst to form in high yields variously functionalized heteroaromatic thioethers. Pyridinyl-containing substrates can be subsequently selectively oxidized into sulfones and NH-sulfoximines by using very mild oxidation conditions with a high functional group tolerance. In the palladium catalyzed C-S coupling of heteroaromatic thiols, reactivity limitation is attached with electron-deficient thiols. We show that this limitation can be resolved by the successful use of 2-bromoheteroarenes in the C-S coupling. We established herein…
Photochemical Functionalization of Allyl Benzoates by C-H Insertion
2013
The photoreactivity of allyl benzoates, containing an electron-rich double bond, has been explored by irradiation at 305 nm in different solvents. Solvent addition products arising from an insertion of the alpha H–C bonds of THF, dioxane, and i-PrOH to the allylic double bond was realized. The observed reactivity depended on reaction conditions and substitution pattern of the substrate. A DFT study on this unusual reaction was performed allowing the formulation of two mechanistic pathways.
Modular Access to 9,9-Spirobifluorenes by Oxidative Coupling Using Molybdenum Pentachloride
2013
The strong oxidizing agent molybdenum pentachloride was used for an efficient direct C–C bond formation of 9,9-diarylfluorenes to the corresponding 9,9-spirobifluorenes. Thus, a versatile method that is compatible with labile groups, such as iodo moieties, was established. By this approach important building blocks for light emitting polymers were synthesized in high yields.
Screening of ligands for the Ullmann synthesis of electron-rich diaryl ethers
2012
In the search for new ligands for the Ullmann diaryl ether synthesis, permitting the coupling of electron-rich aryl bromides at relatively low temperatures, 56 structurally diverse multidentate ligands were screened in a model system that uses copper iodide in acetonitrile with potassium phosphate as the base. The ligands differed largely in their performance, but no privileged structural class could be identified.
Understanding the domino reactions of alkyne-tethered N-tosylhydrazones yielding fused polycyclic pyrazoles. An MEDT study
2019
Abstract The domino reactions of alkyne-tethered N-mesylhydrazones yielding fused polycyclic pyrazoles have been studied within the Molecular Electron Density Theory (MEDT). Analysis of the Gibbs free energies indicates that the more favourable reactive path is the one in which the elimination of mesylate anion takes place before the intramolecular [3 + 2] cycloaddition (IM32CA) reaction, which corresponds with the rate-determining step of these domino processes. ELF topological analysis of the bond formation along the IM32CA reaction indicates that in spite of the high activation energy associated to this intramolecular reaction, it shows a pmr-type mechanism characterised by the presence …
Understanding the origin of the asynchronicity in bond-formation in polar cycloaddition reactions. A DFT study of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition react…
2012
The origin of the asynchronicity in bond-formation in polar cycloadditions has been studied by an ELF analysis of the electron reorganisation along the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of Padwa's carbonyl ylide 4 with the 1,2-benzoquinone 8. This reaction presents an unexpected asynchronous bond-formation, which is initialised through the nucleophilic attack of Padwa's carbonyl ylide on the carbonyl oxygen atom of the strongly electrophilically activated 1,2-benzoquinone. The present study allows for the establishment that along an asynchronous bond-formation, the more favourable two-center interaction begins at the most electrophilic center, which is the center with the highest spin density achie…
Vergleichende dimerisierung der enantiomere von Oct-1-in-3-ol mit chiralen rhodium-phosphan-komplexen
1996
Abstract Three optically active phosphanes ([(S)-2-methylbutyl]3−nP[phenyl]n(n = 0, 1, 2), were tested as ligands in rhodium(I) complexes to form catalysts for the enantioselective dimerisation of (R)- and (S)-oct-1-yn-3-ol. The catalytic reaction provides enantioselectivity for this type of CC bond formation. For reactions at 45–75°C and depending on the P-ligand used the rates vary for both enantiomers from 6:1 to 50:1 in favour of the (S)-octynol.

Understanding the Bond Formation in Hetero Diels-Alder Reactions. An ELF Analysis of the Reaction of Nitroethylene with Dimethylvinylamine
2012
[EN] The bonding evolution in hetero-Diels-Alder (HDA) reactions has been studied by an ELF analysis of the electron reorganization along the HDA reaction between nitroethylene 6 and dimethylvinylamine (DMVA) 9 at the B3LYP/6-31G* level. This cycloaddition takes place along a two-stages one-step mechanism. In the first stage of the reaction, the C1-C6 bond is formed by coupling of two pseudoradical centers positioned at the most electrophilic carbon of nitroethylene 6 and the most nucleophilic center of DMVA 9. In the second stage, the formation of the second O4-C7 bond takes place between a pseudoradical center positioned at the C7 carbon of DMVA and some electron-density provided by the l…
ChemInform Abstract: Access to Pyrazolidin-3,5-diones Through Anodic N-N Bond Formation.
2016
Pyrazolidin-3,5-diones are important motifs in heterocyclic chemistry and are of high interest for pharmaceutical applications. In classic organic synthesis, the hydrazinic moiety is installed through condensation using the corresponding hydrazine building blocks. However, most N,N'-diaryl hydrazines are toxic and require upstream preparation owing to their low commercial availability. We present an alternative and sustainable synthetic approach to pyrazolidin-3,5-diones that employs readily accessible dianilides as precursors, which are anodically converted to furnish the N-N bond. The electroconversion is conducted in a simple undivided cell under constant-current conditions.
