Palladium-catalyzed amination of aryl dibromides with secondary amines: synthetic and mechanistic aspects
1999
Abstract Diaminobenzenes are obtained starting from m- and p-dibromobenzenes and secondary amines in the presence of Pd(dba)2/P(o-tolyl)3and sodium tert-butoxide in moderate to good yields. Reductive dehalogenation of aryl dibromides is a major side reaction under these conditions. The study of this reaction has shown that the formation of reductive dehalogenation products occurs according to two independent ways. The first one proceeds via the well-known β-hydride elimination from amido-coordinated palladium complexes. The second one involves the formation of hydrido palladium complexes from amino-coordinated derivatives. Although our results do not allow us to propose a detailed mechanist…
Cathodic Corrosion of Metal Electrodes—How to Prevent It in Electroorganic Synthesis
2021
The critical aspects of the corrosion of metal electrodes in cathodic reductions are covered. We discuss the involved mechanisms including alloying with alkali metals, cathodic etching in aqueous and aprotic media, and formation of metal hydrides and organometallics. Successful approaches that have been implemented to suppress cathodic corrosion are reviewed. We present several examples from electroorganic synthesis where the clever use of alloys instead of soft neat heavy metals and the application of protective cationic additives have allowed to successfully exploit these materials as cathodes. Because of the high overpotential for the hydrogen evolution reaction, such cathodes can contri…
Untersuchungen zur friesschen verschiebung an hydroxybenzylphenol-derivaten
1974
An den Acetaten 2a–c, 3b, 4b und 4d von sechs Hydroxybenzylphenol-Derivaten wurde die Friessche Verschiebung mit AlCl3 als Katalysator in Nitrobenzol bei Temperaturen zwischen 40 und 70°C durchgefuhrt. Neben den zu erwartenden Hauptprodukten der Friesschen Verschiebung konnte durch Saulenchromatographie eine Reihe von Zwischen- und Nebenprodukten isoliert werden. Daraus ging hervor, das wahrscheinlich eine teilweise Verseifung der Acetate als Nebenreaktion stattfindet. Eine Wanderung der Acetylgruppe an den benachbarten Phenolbaustein des gleichen Molekuls konnte nicht beobachtet werden. Samtliche Verbindungen, einschlieslich der Ausgangsprodukte, wurden durch ihre IR- und 1H-NMR-Spektren c…
Mass‐Spectrometric Imaging of Electrode Surfaces—a View on Electrochemical Side Reactions
2020
Abstract Electrochemical side reactions, often referred to as “electrode fouling”, are known to be a major challenge in electro‐organic synthesis and the functionality of modern batteries. Often, polymerization of one or more components is observed. When reaching their limit of solubility, those polymers tend to adsorb on the surface of the electrode, resulting in a passivation of the respective electrode area, which may impact electrochemical performance. Here, matrix‐assisted laser‐desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI‐MS) is presented as valuable imaging technique to visualize polymer deposition on electrode surfaces. Oligomer size distribution and its dependency on the contact …
Palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura reaction involving a secondary sp3 carbon: studies of stereochemistry and scope of the reaction.
2007
Palladium-catalyzed C--C bond formation involving secondary sp3-hybridized carbon is described. These reactions occur with secondary 1-bromoethyl arylsulfoxides and different arylboronic acids, to produce the corresponding arylated sulfoxides in moderate to high yields and with complete stereospecificity. Despite the presence of beta hydrogens in the substrate, the competitive beta-hydride elimination is not a significant side reaction when coordinating solvents are used. The reported cross-coupling involves secondary C(sp3)--C(sp2) bond formation: this is the first time that a mechanistic study has been carried out with such substrates. The reaction proceeds with inversion of configuration…
Palladium-Catalyzed Reaction of Boronic Acids with Chiral and Racemic ?-Bromo Sulfoxides.
2005
Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of racemic α-bromo sulfoxides with boronic acids are carried out in either aqueous or nonaqueous medium with formation of a new C sp3−C sp2 bond. The arylation of chiral α-bromo sulfoxides occurs without racemization. The cross-coupling reaction is general and gives high yields with arylboronic acids substituted with either donor or acceptor groups but gives poor results with heteroarylboronic acids. The best yields are obtained using degassed solvents and CsF instead of aqueous base. The use of aqueous base and the presence of oxygen favor the homocoupling side reaction.
Deposition of very thin uniform indium sulfide layers over metallic nano-rods by the Spray-Ion Layer Gas Reaction method
2013
Abstract Very thin and uniform layers of indium sulfide were deposited on nickel nano-rods using the sequential and cyclical Spray-ILGAR® (Ion Layer Gas Reaction) technique. Substrates were fabricated by electrodeposition of Ni within the pores of polycarbonate membranes and subsequent chemical dissolution of the template. With respect to the depositions on flat substrates, experimental conditions were modified and optimized for the present geometry. Our results show that nano-rods up to a length of 10 μm were covered uniformly along their full length and with an almost constant film growth rate, thus allowing a good control of the coating thickness; the effect of the deposition temperature…
Functionalization of aliphatic polyesters by nitroxide radical coupling
2014
Functionalized poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) samples were prepared by a post-polymerization method based on the coupling reaction between TEMPO derivatives bearing different functionalities and PBS macroradicals generated by H-abstraction using a peroxide. 4-Benzoyloxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1- oxyl (BzO-TEMPO) and 4-(1-naphthoate)-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (NfO-TEMPO), a pro-fluorescent nitroxide, were successfully grafted on PBS, as revealed by MALDI TOF MS and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The functionalization degrees were accurately determined by UV-Vis analysis and confirmed by 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The grafting site was identified by combining theoretical calculations with e…
Reactions Occurring during the Melt Mixing of Nylon 6 and Oxazoline−Cyclophosphazene Units
2009
Specific reactions of amino and carboxyl end groups of Nylon 6 with the reactive oxazoline groups belonging to a cyclophosphazene compound (referred as CP20XA) were carried out at 240 °C for different times, under inert atmosphere. Ny6 polymers terminated with one specific reactive chain end (-COOH or NH2) were reacted with different amounts of CP20XA to study the kinetic order of the reactions. All Ny6-CP20XA reacted products soluble in trifluoroethanol (TFE) were well characterized by MALDI-TOF MS, FT-IR and ( 1H and 13C) NMR techniques. The MALDI-TOF results show that the oxazoline rings react with the carboxyl chain ends of Ny6 following second-order kinetics. The reactions with amino c…
Hyperbranched methacrylates by self-condensing group transfer polymerization
1997
The synthesis of hyperbranched methacrylates was achieved by self-condensing group transfer polymerization of 2-(2-methyl-1-triethylsiloxy-1-propenyloxy)ethyl methacrylate (1). “Back-biting” is shown to be the predominant side reaction. In spite of this, the compact nature of the hyperbranched molecules was demonstrated through SEC-viscosity measurements and comparison with a linear analogue. The degree of branching can be controlled by copolymerization with conventional monomers, e.g. MMA, and the living polymers can be used as macroinitiators for star-shaped polymers.
