Inter- and intra-annular proton exchange in gaseous benzylbenzenium ions (protonated diphenylmethane)
摘要:
AbstractTwo distinct proton exchange reactions occur in metastable gaseous benzylbenzenium ions, generated by isobutane chemical ionization of diphenylmethane and four deuterium‐labelled analogues. Whereas the proton ring‐walk at the benzenium moiety is fast giving rise to a completely random intraannular proton exchange, the interannular proton exchange is surprisingly slow and competes with the elimination of benzene. A kinetic isotope effect of kH/kD= 5 has been determined for the interannular proton transfer, and a particularly high energy barrier of 50–75 kJ mol−1 has been estimated. These observations are attributed to steric restrictions of the ring‐to‐ring proton transfer in benzylbenzenium ions and contrasted to the fast interannular proton exchange in the higher homologues.
A rhenium complex, [ReBr(CO) 3 (thf)] 2 , catalyzes the insertion of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds into a C-H bond of aromatic compounds having nitrogen-containing directing groups. In this reaction, Re 2 (CO) 10 can also be used as a catalyst. When imines are employed as the aromatic substrates, sequential cyclization proceeds and indene derivatives are obtained in good to excellent yields. This

Ketone in charge: A formal ketone‐directed palladium‐catalyzed ortho‐hydroxylation of arenes has been developed as an effective approach to access o‐acylphenols from simple arylketones. A Pd‐catalyzed oxidative ortho‐carbonylation reaction using ketone directing groups to access a ketal–lactone motif is also demonstrated. The ubiquity and versatile nature of ketones make these methods attractive. BTI=PhI(TFA)2;

as a synthon of nitriles, and subsequent coupling with arenes such as N-sulfinylimines and benzimidates bearing a functionalizable directing group provided facile access to two classes of quinazolines under Co(III)-catalysis.
Reactions of benzene vapor-calcium atom with organic halides and carbonylcompounds were examined. Benzene vapor-calcium atom reacted with organic halides (RX) to give phenyl-substituted products (PhR) and reduced products (RH). The reactions of benzene vapor-calcium atom with ketones (RR′CO) or benzaldehyde gave two kinds of alcohol PhRR′COH and RR′CHOH, or Ph2CHOH and PhCH2OH, respectively

transition metal‐free synthesis of polysubstituted phenanthridines from abundant starting materials like benzhydrol and 2‐iodoaniline derivatives. The reaction involves sequential oxidation of alcohol and direct condensation reaction with the amine resulting in a C−N bond formation followed by a radical C−C coupling in a cascade sequence. The used base potassium tert‐butoxide plays a dual role in dehydrogenation
