Source of Selectivity in Oxidative Cross-Coupling of Aryls by Solvent Effect of 1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoropropan-2-ol
2015
Abstract Solvents such as 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) with a high capacity for donating hydrogen bonds generate solvates that enter into selective cross-coupling reactions of aryls upon oxidation. When electric current is employed for oxidation, reagent effects can be excluded and a decoupling of nucleophilicity from oxidation potential can be achieved. The addition of water or methanol to the electrolyte allows a shift of oxidation potentials in a specific range, creating suitable systems for selective anodic cross-coupling reactions. The shift in the redox potentials depends on the substitution pattern of the substrate employed. The concept has been expanded from arene-phenol…

Tandem gold self-relay catalysis for the synthesis of 2,3-dihydropyridin-4(1 H)-ones: combination of σ and π Lewis acid properties of gold salts.
2014
The dual ability of gold salts to act as π- and σ Lewis acids has been exploited in a tandem self-relay catalysis. Thus, triphenylphosphanegold(I) triflate mediated the intramolecular carbonyl addition of the amide functionality of homoprogargyl amides to a triple bond. The formation of a σ complex of the gold salt with the intermediate oxazine promoted a nucleophilic addition followed by a Petasis-Ferrier rearrangement. This tandem protocol, catalyzed by the same gold salt under the same reaction conditions, gave rise to the efficient synthesis of 2,3-dihydropyridin-4-(1 H)-ones, which contain a cyclic quaternary α-amino acid unit. The asymmetric version was performed by generating the sta…
Addition of Nucleophiles to Fluorinated Michael Acceptors
2016
A series of nucleophiles, including primary and secondary amines, primary alcohols, and thiols, as well as diethyl malonate and nitromethane, were added to different fluorinated Michael acceptors including 2-fluoroalk-1-en-3-ones and 2-fluoro-1-phenylprop-2-en-1-one. The resulting beta-substituted afluoro ketones were isolated in 34-92 % yield, depending on the substrate and the nucleophile. The best yields were obtained with secondary amines and with p-methylthiophenol.
Vertical stratification patterns of methanotrophs and their genetic controllers in water columns of oxygen-stratified boreal lakes
2021
ABSTRACT The vertical structuring of methanotrophic communities and its genetic controllers remain understudied in the water columns of oxygen-stratified lakes. Therefore, we used 16S rRNA gene sequencing to study the vertical stratification patterns of methanotrophs in two boreal lakes, Lake Kuivajärvi and Lake Lovojärvi. Furthermore, metagenomic analyses were performed to assess the genomic characteristics of methanotrophs in Lovojärvi and the previously studied Lake Alinen Mustajärvi. The methanotroph communities were vertically structured along the oxygen gradient. Alphaproteobacterial methanotrophs preferred oxic water layers, while Methylococcales methanotrophs, consisting of putative…
Homogeneous Metal-Based Catalysis in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide as Reaction Medium
2016
Above 31.1 degrees C and 73.8 bar, carbon dioxide reaches the supercritical state, being transformed into a fluid (scCO(2)) that has attracted interest in the last few decades as reaction medium for several transition-metal-catalyzed organic transformations. The main feature of this fluid rests on its capability to dissolve large amounts of other gases such as hydrogen, carbon monoxide, ethylene, or even methane and light alkanes. In this manner, very high concentrations of these reactants are available for catalysis. In this contribution a review of the main achievements of the use of transition-metal complexes as catalysts in scCO(2) is presented.
Pulse radiolysis and theoretical investigation on the initial mechanism of the e-beam polymerization of epoxy resins. The results obtained on (phenox…

Abstract The radical cation of (phenoxymethyl)oxirane ( PGE ⋅ + ) is generated by pulse radiolysis in dichloromethane solution and by direct action of radiation on the title compound. In the pure system its UV–vis spectrum is characterized by two bands at 340 and 430 nm, such that the electronic structure corresponds to a dipole bearing the positive charge on the phenoxy side. At the same time, the phenoxy-oxirane bridge is weakened. Then, the radical cation fragments into a phenoxonium ion and an oxyranylmethyl radical ( k PGE - fragm = 1.16 × 10 7 s - 1 ) . The latter immediately rearranges to an allyloxyl radical by ring opening. It is then conceived that the action of onium salts, as ra…
Oxidative (Cross-)Coupling Reactions Mediated by C-H Activation of Thiophene Derivatives by Using Molybdenum(V) Reagents
2014
Oxidative coupling by using molybdenum pentachloride provides fast and modular access to sophisticated thienoacenes in excellent yields. The coupling process can be accomplished with thiophene and benzothiophene derivatives and provides various complex skeletons such as spirocyclic compounds. In this approach, the first cross-coupling reactions with the use of MoCl5 were established and important motifs for semiconducting materials were synthesized.

PREPARATION AND REACTIONS OF 2-PYRIDYLPLATINUM(II) COMPLEXES [PTCL(C5H4N-C2)(TERTIARY PHOSPHINE)2] - COMPOUNDS WITH A MARKEDLY NUCLEOPHILIC PYRIDINE …
1989
Abstract The 2-pyridyl complex trans -[PtCl(C 5 H 4 N- C 2 )(PPh 3 ) 2 ] (I) can be prepared in high yield by oxidative addition of 2-chloropyridine to [Pt(PPh 3 ) 4 ]. The reaction of I with 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane yields the cis derivative [PtCl(C 4 5 H 4 N- C 2 )(dppe)] (II). In polar solvents, the latter rearranges to the binuclear cationic complex [Pt(μ-C 5 H 4 N- C 2 , N )(dppe)] 2 Cl 2 . The reaction of I with [PdCl(η 3 -2-MeC 3 H 4 )] 2 (1/0.5 molar ratio) gives the products [PtCl(μ-C 5 H 4 N- C 2 , N )(PPh 3 )] 2 (IV) and [PdCl(η 3 -2-MeC 3 H 4 )(PPh 3 )]. 31 P NMR monitoring of the reaction suggests that PPh 3 transfer occurs in a binuclear platinum/palladium intermediate…
