Understanding the mechanism and regioselectivity of the copper(i) catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction between azide and alkyne: a systematic DFT…
2017
The copper(I) catalyzed azide–alkyne [3 + 2] cycloaddition (32CA) reaction and its uncatalyzed version have been studied for systematic understanding of this relevant organic transformation, using DFT calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) (LANL2DZ for Cu) computational levels. In the absence of a copper(I) catalyst, two regioisomeric reaction paths were studied, indicating that the 32CA reaction takes place through an asynchronous one-step mechanism with a very low polar character. The two reactive channels leading to 1,4- and 1,5-regisomer present similar high activation energies of 18.84 and 18.51 kcal mol−1, respectively. The coordination of copper(I) to alkyne produces relevant changes in …
Experimental and theoretical study of the [3+2] cycloaddition of carbonyl ylides with alkynes
2012
[EN] The [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction between carbonyl ylides generated from epoxides and alkynes (phenylacetylene, methyl propiolate, methyl but-2-ynoate and methyl 3-phenylpropiolate) to give substituted 2,5-dihydrofurans was investigated. The effect of indium(III) chloride on the outcome of the reaction was studied in the case of phenylacetylene and methyl propiolate. The thermal reaction between the carbonyl ylide coming from 2,2-dicyano-3-phenyloxirane and both methyl propiolate and methyl but-2-ynoate was theoretically investigated using DFT methods in order to explain the reactivity and regioselectivity observed.
A novel synthetic approach to pyran-2,4-dione scaffold production: Microwave-assisted dimerization, cyclization, and expeditious regioselective conve…
2020
Abstract Here, we report a novel, green, simple, low-cost, and rapid methodology for the high-yield production of pyran-2,4-dione scaffolds under microwave irradiation. Regio- and stereoselective conversions of β-diketone systems into β-enaminones were achieved using 18 primary amines and four amino acid esters. Microwave-assisted further cyclization of 3-(β-substitutedvinyl)-6-phenyl-pyran-2,4-dione into 3-benzoyl-4,7-diphenyl-2H,5H-pyrano[4,3-b]pyran-2,5-dione via reaction with ethyl benzoyl acetate.
Facile immobilization of copper(I) acetate on silica: A recyclable and reusable heterogeneous catalyst for azide–alkyne clickable cycloaddition react…
2019
Abstract The structurally well-defined copper(I) acetate was immobilized on silica gel via electrostatic interactions. The catalytic activity of the immobilized catalyst Cu(I)–SiO2 was examined in the click synthesis of 1,2,3-triazoles in water/ethanol at room temperature. The catalyst showed high catalytic activity and regioselectivity for the Huisgen [3+2] cycloaddition reaction between terminal alkynes and azides. The catalyst was recovered by simple filtration and reused for up to five times. The analysis of the local electrophilicity/nucleophilicity has been performed on the dinuclear copper–acetylide complex intermediate. Conceptual DFT (CDFT) analysis enabled the explanation of the f…
Unsaturated carboxylic acid dienolates. Addition to substituted cyclohexanones. Inverted kinetic and thermodynamic stereoselectivities.
1987
Abstract Addition of the lithium dienolate derived from crotonic acid to monosubstituted cyclohexanones occurs through the α and γ carbon atoms of the dienolate in the cold and on heating, respectively. For any regioselectivity, equatorial approach is found under kinetic conditions, but equilibration favours products from axial attack and selectivity may be inverted.
Modular one-pot synthesis of tetrasubstituted pyrroles from alpha-(alkylideneamino)nitriles.
2007
2,3,4,5-Tetrasubstituted pyrroles have been prepared with high regioselectivity by a formal cycloaddition of alpha-(alkylideneamino)nitriles and nitroolefins followed by elimination of HCN and HNO2. The reaction allows the convergent construction of the pyrrole ring in four steps from a nitroalkane and three aldehydes.
An analysis of the regioselectivity of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of benzonitrile n-oxides based on global and local electrophilicity and nu…
2009
The regioselectivity of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (13DC) reactions of benzonitrile N-oxides (BNOs) with electrophilic and nucleophilic alkenes has been analyzed by using global and local nucleophilicity and electrophilicity reactivity indices defined within the conceptual DFT. The BNOs react with electron-deficient and electron-rich ethylenes, but the regioselectivities of these polar reactions are different. Whereas the reactions with electron-rich ethylenes are completely regioselective, yielding 5-isoxazolines, a change in the regioselectivity is observed in the reactions with electron-deficient ethylenes, which yield a mixture of 4- and 5-isoxazolines. Analysis of the energies, geom…
Stereo and regioselectivity in the phenylation of cationic allylpalladium(II) α-diimine complexes by tetraphenylborate anion
1993
The reaction of the cationic complex [Pd(4-methoxy-1,3-η3-cyclohexenyl)(py-2-CHNC6H4OMe-4)]+ (1) with BPh4− in the presence of fumaronitrile yields trans-3-methoxy-6-phenylcyclohexene (2a) and trans-4-methoxy-3-phenylcyclohexene (2b), in ca. 1 : 1 molar ratio. The trans stereochemistry of these products implies that the phenylation of the allyl ligand involves prior transfer of a phenyl group from BPh4− to the metal, followed by reductive coupling of the organic moieties. In the reactions of [Pd(η3-1,1-R1,R2-C3H3)(NN′)]+ (3) [NN′ 4-MeOH4C6NCHCHNC6H4OMe-4; py-2-CHNR (R C6H4OMe-4, Me, or CMe3), 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy); R1 H, R2 Ph, Me; R1 R2 Me; with BPh4− in the presence of …
New Strategies for the Synthesis of Fluorinated Vinylogous Amidines and β-Enamino Ketones
2001
Reaction of fluorinated imidoyl chlorides 3 with ketimines 1a provides fluorinated 1,3-diimines, which were exclusively isolated as vinylogous amidine tautomers 2beta, with good yields. Fluorinated beta-enamino ketones 4 are obtained by regioselective hydrolysis of 2. Complementary methods for the synthesis of regioisomeric beta-enamino ketones 4 and 5 are also reported. These methods include the reaction of azaenolates of ketimines with fluorinated esters 6 and reactions of ketone enolates with fluorinated imidoyl chlorides 3. The behavior of these systems in hydrolysis reactions was also tested.
ChemInform Abstract: Alkylation of Lithium Dienediolates of Butenoic Acids. Regioselectivity Effects of Structure and Leaving Group of the Alkylating…
2010
Abstract Regioselectivity of alkylation of but-2-enoic acids 1 and 2 by alkyl halides strongly depends on the reactivity of the electrophile. High α selectivity results for saturated alkyl halides, whereas poor α-selectivity is obtained for highly reactive allyl and benzyl halides. For reactive alkylating halides selectivity is partly governed by the ion pairing aggregates of the dienediolates. Lithium bromide and the carboxylate generated in the ongoing reaction cause opposite effects on regioselectivity.
