Synthesis of oligomeric chains with 9,10‐dihydroanthracene units by carbanion alkylation
1988
Deprotonation of 9,10-dihydroanthracene (2) affords the monoanion 6 which is subjected to alkylation reactions with mono and bifunctional electrophiles. Crucial intermediates in syntheses using 6 are 9-(3-bromopropyl)-9,10-dihydroanthracene (7) and 1,3-bis(9,10-dihydro-9-anthryl)propane (9) since they provide access to linear oligomers in which 9,10-dihydroanthracene units are linked by trimethylene groups. The alkylation processes of these species can be extended to the structurally related polymer 4. The regio- and stereoselectivity of the alkylation reactions are investigated by 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. Oligomere Ketten mit 9,10-Dihydroanthracen-Einheiten durch Carbanionalkylierung …
Heterocycles from α-aminonitriles.
2014
Owing to their various modes of reactivity, α-aminonitriles represent versatile building blocks for the construction of a wide range of nitrogen heterocycles. The present Concept article focuses on synthetic methodologies using their bifunctional nature which is the basis of their reactivity as α-amino carbanions and as iminium ions. Reactions exclusively taking place on either the amine or on the nitrile moiety will not be considered.
On the anionic polymerization of dialkylaminoisoprenes, 3. A nuclear magnetic resonance study of the structure of oligo[5-(N,N-diisopropylamino)isopr…
1995
The structure of oligo[(5-N,N-diisopropylamino)isoprenyllithium] (number-average degree of polymerization Pn = 1-2) prepared by reaction of alkyllithium with 5-(N,N-diisopropylamino)-isoprene1 in nonpolar (benzene) and polar (tetrahydrofuran) solvents has been studied by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. In tetrahydrofuran, as expected, the negative charge at the terminal chain unit is more delocalized than in benzene and, consequently, the carbon-lithium bond has a more ionic character. In both solvents the living chain end shows a cisoid-4, 1-structure. No cistrans isomerization could be detected. This independence of the carbanion structure of the solvent polarity is explained by the complexa…
Asymmetric Conjugate Addition of Malonate Esters to α,β-UnsaturatedN-Sulfonyl Imines: An Expeditious Route to Chiral δ-Aminoesters and Piperidones
2013
The asymmetric conjugate addition of malonate esters to α,β-unsaturated N-sulfonyl imines is catalyzed by PyBOX/La(OTf)3 complexes in the presence of 4 Å MS. The reaction gives the corresponding E enamines bearing a stereogenic center at the allylic position with good yields and enantiomeric ratios up to 97:3. This reaction provides a synthetic entry to chiral δ-aminoesters and piperidones.
New Multidimensional Coordination Polymers with μ 2 ‐ and μ 3 ‐dcno Cyano Carbanion Ligand {dcno – = [(NC) 2 CC(O)O(CH 2 ) 2 OH] – }
2006
New polymeric materials [M(dcno)2(H2O)2] [M = FeII (1), CoII (2)] and [M(dcno)2] [M = CuII (3), MnII (4)] with dcno– =[(NC)2CC(O)O(CH2)2OH]– = 2,2-dicyano-1-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethenolate anion have been synthesised and characterised by IR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography and magnetic measurements. In compounds 1 and 2, each organic ligand acts in a bridging mode with its two nitrogen atoms bound to two different metal ions, while in compounds 3 and 4, each organic anion acts as a μ3-bridging ligand through its two nitrogen atoms and the oxygen atom of the OH group. Each metal ion has a pseudo-octahedral trans-MN4O2 environment with four nitrogen atoms from four different organic ligands an…
Prodrugs of sulfacetamide: Synthesis, X-ray structure, Hirshfeld analysis, antibacterial assessment, and docking studies
2022
Abstract New prodrugs of sulfacetamide as azo compounds were synthesized and have been evidenced through elemental and spectral analyses. Their synthesis was carried out by coupling the diazonium salt of sulfacetamide with activated carbanion salt of ethyl acetoacetate at 0 ˚C to afford the hydrazono derivative 3. Other prodrugs as sulfacetamide-pyrazoles, 5a, 5b and 5c were furnished via cyclocondensation of 3 with aryl/heteroaryl hydrazines. X-ray diffraction for single crystal was used to confirm the molecular and supramolecular structures of 3. In addition, DFT studies were performed to analyze the geometric parameters and compute the electronic properties of 3 and 5a-c. Hirshfeld analy…
Isolation of Free Phenylide-like Carbanions with N-Heterocyclic Carbene Frameworks
2009
A series of 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-5-methyl-1,3-diaza-4,6-diborabenzenes with methyl, phenyl, and dimethylamino substituents on the ring boron atoms were prepared using the cyclocondensation reaction between N,N′-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)trimethylsilylformamidine and the appropriately substituted 1,1-bis(organochloroboryl)ethane, followed by deprotonation of the cationic ring intermediate. The planar, heterocyclic benzene analogues could be further deprotonated at the other ring carbon using an additional equivalent of potassium hexamethyldisilazide to yield organometallic derivatives akin to the potassium phenylide. The potassium cations could be efficiently sequestered in both so…
Configuration of Enolates of β-Ketocarboxylic Acid Esters — Carbocation-Carbanion Salts
1996
Deprotonation of (Z)- or (E)-3-hydroxy-2,3-dimesitylpropenoic acid methyl ester (1a) with tetrakis(dimethylamino)-methane (3) led to stable salt (E)-2a, which belongs to a very rare species of salts that consist of a heteroatom-stabilized carbocation and a heteroatom-stabilized carbanion. An analogous guanidinium salt (E)-2b was formed in the reaction of 3-oxo-2,3-diphenylpropanoic acid methyl ester (1b) and 3. The molecular structures of these enolates were studied by NMR spectroscopy and an X-ray analysis of (E)-2a {MC[N(CH3)2]3} and compared with those of the corresponding alkali enolates.
Nucleophilic benzoylation using lithiated methyl mandelate as a synthetic equivalent of the benzoyl carbanion. Oxidative decarboxylation of α-hydroxy…
2001
Abstract The synthesis of alkyl aryl ketones using lithiated methyl mandelate as a synthetic equivalent of the benzoyl carbanion is reported (Umpolung). The methodology involves alkylation of methyl mandelate, hydrolysis of the ester group and oxidative decarboxylation of the resulting α-hydroxyacids. The last step is carried out in a catalytic aerobic way using a Co(III) complex in the presence of pivalaldehyde under very mild and advantageous conditions. The procedure is also applied to methyl mandelates substituted on the aromatic ring.
Anionic polymerization of methyl methacrylate using tetrakis[tris(dimethylamino)phosphoranylidenamino] phosphonium (P5+) as counterion in tetrahydrof…
2000
A novel metal-free initiator, i.e. the salt of the tetrakis[tris(dimethylamino)phosphoranylidenamino]phosphonium (P5+) cation with the 1,1-diphenylhexyl (DPH–) anion was prepared by cation metathesis. It initiates a very fast and controlled anionic polymerization of methyl methacrylate in THF. Kinetic investigations between –20 and +20°C using a flow tube reactor provide nearly linear first-order time-conversion plots with half-lives below 0.1 s, a linear dependence of the number-average degree of polymerization, and rather narrow molecular weight distributions (Mw/Mn ≈ 1.2). 13C NMR measurements on a model of the active chain end (the P5+ salt of ethyl isobutyrate) in THF-d8 show 15 and 25…
