Pauson-Khand reaction of internal dissymmetric trifluoromethyl alkynes. Influence of the alkene on the regioselectivity.
2014
Abstract: The scope of the Pauson-Khand reaction (PKR) of internal trifluoromethyl alkynes, previously described with norbornadiene, is expanded to norbornene and ethylene. A thorough structural analysis of the resulting PK adducts has been carried out to unveil that α-trifluoromethylcyclopentenones are preferred in all cases, independently of the electronic properties of the alkyne. The regioselectivity observed with norbornadiene and ethylene is higher than in the case of norbornene.
Chiral diphosphine derivatives of alkylidyne tricobalt carbonyl clusters – A comparative study of different cobalt carbonyl (pre)catalysts for (asymm…
2016
Reaction of the tricobalt carbyne cluster [Co-3(mu(3)-CH)(CO)(9)] with chiral diphosphines of the Josiphos and Walphos families affords the new clusters [Co-3(mu(3)-CH)(CO)(7)(P-P*)] in good yield (P-P* = J004 (1), J005 (2), J007 (3), W001 (4), W003 (5)). The new alkylidyne tricobalt clusters, and the previously known [Co-3(mu(3)-CH)(CO)(7)(mu-J003)], have been tested as catalysts/catalyst precursors for intermolecular Pauson-Khand cyclization, using norbornene and phenylacetylene as substrate. The diphosphine-substituted tricobalt carbonyl clusters proved to be viable catalysts/catalyst precursors that gave products in moderate to good yields, but the enantiomeric excesses were low. When t…
Unique Reactivity of Fluorinated Molecules with Transition Metals
2014
Organofluorine and organometallic chemistry by themselves constitute two potent areas in organic synthesis. Thus, the combination of both offers many chemical possibilities and represents a powerful tool for the design and development of new synthetic methodologies leading to diverse molecular structures in an efficient manner. Given the importance of the selective introduction of fluorine atoms into organic molecules and the effectiveness of transition metals in C–C and C–heteroatom bond formation, this review represents an interesting read for this aim.
