Isomerization and rearrangement of (E)- and (Z)-phenylhydrazones of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole: evidence for a “new” type of acid-catalysis …
2008
A kinetic investigation in methanol of the title reaction has evidenced the occurrence of two processes: the 1-E1-Z isomerization and the rearrangement of the (Z)-isomer into the relevant 4-benzoylamino-2,5-diphenyl-1,2,3-triazole (1-Z T). The latter reaction is in line with the ability of the (Z)-phenylhydrazones of 3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles to undergo the so called mononuclear rearrangement of heterocycles (MRH). The occurrence of both the examined reactions is dependent on a Lewis-acid-catalysis. The obtained results have shown the possibility of a ‘new’ type of acid-catalysis (bifunctional catalysis by Lewis salts) in the MRH. This catalysis operates through a completely different me…

Abstract The germylene Ph2Ge of Ph2GeHCl and Net3 inserts in excess Ph2GeHCl and forms polygermanes Cl(Ph2Ge)nH. This one-pot reaction and subsequent chlorination to Cl(Ph2Ge)nCl has been optimized. Increasing amounts of NEt3 step up the yields of higher polygermanes. The 13C NMR phenyl signals for C(ipso) shift to low field with increasing chain length. The crystal structures of Cl(Ph2Ge)3,4Cl (R = 0.072 and 0.087) have been determined. The position of Cl(Ph2Ge)4Cl is split off by disorder (main molecule 82%, side molecule 18%). Two crystallographically different molecules of the trigermane are present; the ClGe3Cl chain contains anti-gauche and gauche-gauche conformation respectively (d…
A deep insight into the mechanism of the acid-catalyzed rearrangement of the Z-phenylhydrazone of 5-amino-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole in a non-polar s…
2010
The conversion of the Z-phenylhydrazone of 5-amino-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole (1a) into the relevant 1,2,3-triazole (2a) has been quantitatively studied in toluene in the presence of several halogenoacetic acids (HAAs, 3a–h). Again, the occurrence of two reaction pathways has been pointed out: they require one or two moles of acid, respectively, thus repeating the situation previously observed in the presence of trichloroacetic acid. The observed rate constant ratios (kIII/kII) are only slightly affected by the nature of the acid used. To gain a deeper insight into the action of the acids used we have measured the association constants of the HAAs (3a–h) with 4-nitroaniline (4) in toluene. …
Dinuclear Ortho-Metalated Palladium(II) Compounds with N,N- and N,O-Donor Bridging Ligands. Synthesis of New Palladium(III) Complexes
2011
New dinuclear ortho-metalated palladium(II) compounds with N,N′-diarylformamidinates, Pd2[(C6H4)PPh2]2[R′NC(H)NR′]2 (R′ = C6H5, 3a; R′ = p-CH3C6H4, 3b; R′ = p-CH3OC6H4, 3c) and N,O-donor ligands, Pd2[(C6H4)PPh2]2[N,O]2 (N,O = succinimidate (5), phtalimidate (6), 2-hydroxypyridinate (7), acetanilidate (8)) have been synthesized and characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction methods. The oxidation with iodobenzene dichloride gave new and rare Pd26+ compounds, Pd2[(C6H4)PPh2]2[R′NC(H)NR′]2Cl2 (R′ = C6H5, 4a; R′ = p-CH3C6H4, 4b). DFT calculations on the Pd24+ → Pd26+ oxidation reaction show that the substituents on the amidinate N atoms have a greater effect on the reaction energy …

Hydrolysis of Phosphotriesters: A Theoretical Analysis of the Enzymatic and Solution Mechanisms
2012
A theoretical study on the alkaline hydrolysis of paraoxon, one of the most popular organophosphorus pesticides, in aqueous solution and in the active site of Pseudomonas diminuta phosphotriesterase (PTE) is presented. Simulations by means of hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) potentials show that the hydrolysis of paraoxon takes place through an A(N)D(N) or associative mechanism both in solution and in the active site of PTE. The results correctly reproduce the magnitude of the activation free energies and can be used to rationalize the observed kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) for the hydrolysis of paraoxon in both media. Enzymatic hydrolysis of O,O-diethyl p-chlorophenyl …
Synthesis of bodinieric acids A and B, both C-18 and C-19-functionalized abietane diterpenoids: DFT study of the key aldol reaction
2020
[EN] The first synthesis of C-18- and C-19-bifunctionalized abietane diterpenoids, bodinieric (or callicapoic) acids, via an aldol reaction has been developed. This key aldol reaction was very sensitive to steric hindrance. This fact has been studied by deuterium exchange experiments and DFT methods. Optimization of this reaction led to the synthesis of anti-inflammatory bodinieric acids A and B, starting from abietic acid
Synthesis and application of new iminopyridine ligands in the enantioselective palladium-catalyzed allylic alkylation
2014
A variety of iminopyridines were obtained by condensation of chiral amines with pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde and quinoline-8-carbaldehyde, or of aminoalkylpyridine derivatives with chiral ketones. These ligands were assessed in the enantioselective palladium catalyzed allylic substitution of 1,3-diphenylprop-2-enyl acetate with dimethyl malonate affording the product dimethyl 1,3-diphenylprop-2-enylmalonate in good yields and moderate enantioselectivities (up to 62% ee). Catalytic activity and enantioselectivity were found to be highly dependent upon the steric properties of the ligands. The best enantioselectivity (62% ee) was obtained by an iminopyridine based on a camphane skeleton. © 2014 …
Synthesis and stereochemical properties of "extended" biphenols bridged by ortho-, meta-, and para-phenylene spacers
2009
A series of isomeric biphenols based on para- (1), meta- (2), and ortho- (3) terphenyl backbones was synthesized. Suzuki cross-coupling methodology was employed for the construction of the terphenyl backbone of their methyl-protected precursors (respectively 8, 13, and 16). Using K2CO3 as the base, the best reaction conditions involved DMF at 100 °C as solvent. Anhydrous conditions greatly improved the yields of the sterically crowded systems (particularly 16). ortho-Terphenyls 3 and 16 exist as mixtures of syn/anti atropisomers in solution. Compound 16 crystallizes in the anti-in form. DFT calculations at the B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level indicate that for both compounds the anti-in form is mor…
Role of Halide Ion in the Mechanism of Protonolysis of the Pt-C Bond in Pt(II) Alkyl and Aryl Complexes.
1985
Abstract A mechanistic study is described for the electrophilic cleavage of the Pt C σ bond in complexes cis -[PtPh 2 (PEtPh 2 ) 2 ] and trans -[PtXR(PEt 3 ) 2 ] (X = Cl and Br, R = Me, Et, n-Pr, n-Bu, CH 2 Ph) by the proton in the presence of halide ions in aqueous methanol (MeOH/H 2 O, 91v/v) which yields cis -[PtClPh(PEtPh 2 ) 2 ] and trans -[PtX 2 (PEt 3 ) 2 ], respectively. The reactions are first-order in substrate for both systems and the general bivariate rate law k obs = [H + ]{ k H + k x K [[X − ]}/(1 + K [[X − ]) is obeyed. The proposed mechanism involves a fast pre-equilibrium formation (K) of a platinum(II) anionic intermediate via interaction of the halide with the square-plan…
