New highly asymmetric Henry reaction catalyzed by Cu(II) and a C(1)-symmetric aminopyridine ligand, and its application to the synthesis of miconazol…
2008
A new catalytic asymmetric Henry reaction has been developed that uses a C(1)-symmetric chiral aminopyridine ligand derived from camphor and picolylamine. A variety of aromatic, heteroaromatic, aliphatic, and unsaturated aldehydes react with nitromethane and other nitroalkanes in the presence of DIPEA (1.0 equiv), Cu(OAc)(2)*H(2)O (5 mol %), and an aminopyridine ligand (5 mol %) to give the expected products in high yields (up to 99 %), moderate-to-good diastereoselectivites (up to 82:18), and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98 %). The reaction is air-tolerant and has been used in the synthesis of the antifungal agent miconazole.
Triazolopyridines. 18. Nucleophilic substitution reactions on triazolopyridines; a new route to 2,2′-bipyridines
1997
Abstract The synthesis of some 5-, 6-, and 7-halogenotriazolopyridines is described, and their reactions with nucleophiles. The formation of 7,7′-bitriazolopyridines provides a new synthesis of 2,2′-bipyridines.

Catalytic Enantioselective Friedel–Crafts Reactions of Naphthols and Electron-Rich Phenols
2016
The enantioselective Friedel–Crafts reaction is a powerful tool for the construction of benzylic stereocenters in a stereodefined manner. Significant advances have already been achieved with heteroarenes such as indoles and pyrroles; however, the reaction with homoarenes is less developed. This short review covers the most relevant literature on enantioselective Friedel–Crafts reactions with naphthols and phenols. 1 Introduction 2 Friedel–Crafts Reactions Involving 1,2-Nucleophilic Addition to C=X Bonds 3 Friedel–Crafts Reactions Involving Conjugate Nucleophilic Addition to Electrophilic C=C Bonds 4 Friedel–Crafts Reactions Involving π-Allylic Complexes as Electrophiles 5 ipso-Friedel–Craft…
The Grignard Reaction − Unraveling a Chemical Puzzle
2020
More than 100 years since its discovery, the mechanism of the Grignard reaction remains unresolved. Ambiguities arise from the concomitant presence of multiple organomagnesium species and the competing mechanisms involving either nucleophilic addition or the formation of radical intermediates. To shed light on this topic, quantum-chemical calculations and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations are used to study the reaction of CH3MgCl in tetrahydrofuran with acetaldehyde and fluorenone as prototypical reagents. All organomagnesium species coexisting in solution due to the Schlenk equilibrium are found to be competent reagents for the nucleophilic pathway. The range of activation energies …
THE KINETICS AND MECHANISM OF THE REACTION OF ONIUM CYCLOPENTADIENYLIDES WITH TETRAHALO-p-BENZOQUINONES
1989
Abstract The reaction of triphenylphosphonium cyclopentadienylide (1) with halogen-substituted p-benzoquinones (4) is shown to give a new class of dipolar (zwitterionic) dyes (5) containing phosphorus. The general structure of these molecules has been investigated by a combination of mass spectrometry and multinuclear (7H, 13C and 31P) nmr using the specialist techniques of DEFT spectroscopy, homonuclear (COSY) and heteronuclear 2-D nmr. In addition, stopped-flow (uv/visible) techniques have been used to study the kinetics of the reactions and hence demonstrate that the rate-limiting step is nucleophilic addition of the ylid nucleophile to the quinone, followed by a rapid loss of halide ion…
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…
Enantioselective Synthesis of 4-Substituted Dihydrocoumarins through a Zinc Bis(hydroxyamide)-Catalyzed Conjugate Addition of Terminal Alkynes
2013
A new enantioselective catalyst for the conjugate addition of terminal alkynes has been developed. Terminal alkynes react with 3-alkoxycarbonylcoumarins in the presence of diethylzinc and bis(hydroxyamide) ligands to give chiral non-racemic dihydrocoumarins substituted with an alkynyl group on the C-4 position with good yields and enantiomeric excesses up to 95%.
Global and local reactivity indices for electrophilic/nucleophilic free radicals
2013
A set of five DFT reactivity indices, namely, the global electrophilicity ω° and nucleophilicity N° indices, the radical Parr function P°k, and the local electrophilicity ω°k and nucleophilicity N°k indices, for the study of free radicals (FRs) are proposed. Global indices have been tested for a series of 32 FRs having electrophilic and/or nucleophilic activations. As expected, no correlation between the proposed global electrophilicity ω° and global nucleophilicity N° has been found. Analysis of the local electrophilicity ω°k and nucleophilicity N°k indices for FRs, together with analysis of the local electrophilicity ωk and nucleophilicity Nk indices for alkenes, allows for an explanation…
Coupling of Azomethine Ylides with Nitrilium Derivatives ofcloso-Decaborate Clusters: A Synthetic and Theoretical Study
2012
The azomethine ylides p-R3C5H4N+CH−COC6H4R2-p (3 a: R3=H, R2=H, X=Br; 3 b: R3=H, R2=Me, X=I; 3 c: R3=H, R2=OMe, X=I; 3 d: R3=H, R2=F, X=I; 3 e: R3=Me, R2=Me, X=Br) react with the nitrile functionality of the closo-decaborate clusters [Bun4N][B10H9(NCR1)] (1 a: R1=Me; 1 b: R1=Et; 1 c: R1=Ph) in a CH3NO2 solution under mild conditions (20–25 °C, 2 min) to afford selectively products of the nucleophilic addition (ca. quantitative yields based on NMR analysis in [D6]DMSO, 71–87 % yield of isolated products). These products are the borylated enamino ketones as the salts bearing exclusively a tetrabutylammonium cation [Bun4N][B10H9{NCR1=C(N+C5H4R3-p)COC6H4R2-p}] (4 a–h,k–n) or the mixed salts [Bu…
