Cracking under Internal Pressure: Photodynamic Behavior of Vinyl Azide Crystals through N2 Release
摘要:
When exposed to UV light, single crystals of the vinyl azides 3-azido-1-phenylpropenone (1a), 3-azido-1-(4-methoxypheny0propenone (1b), and 3-azido-1-(4-chlorophenyl)propenone (1c) exhibit dramatic mechanical effects by cracking or bending with the release of N-2. Mechanistic studies using laser flash photolysis, supported by quantum mechanical calculations, show that each of the vinyl azides degrades through a vinylnitrene intermediate. However, despite having very similar crystal packing motifs, the three compounds exhibit distinct photomechanical responses in bulk crystals. While the crystals of la delaminate and release gaseous N-2 indiscriminately under paraffin oil, the crystals of lb and 1c visibly expand, bend, and fracture, mainly along specific crystallographic faces, before releasing N-2. The photochemical analysis suggests that the observed expansion is due to internal pressure exerted by the gaseous product in the crystal lattices of these materials. Lattice energy calculations, supported by nanoindentation experiments, show significant differences in the respective lattice energies. The calculations identify critical features in the crystal structures of 1b and 1c where elastic energy accumulates during gas release, which correspond to the direction of the observed cracks. This study highlights the hitherto untapped potential of photochemical gas release to elicit a photomechanical response and motility of photoreactive molecular crystals.

The regio- and stereochemistry of the ring-enlargement processes are discussed, and the proposed reaction mechanisms were confirmed by using 15 N-labeled substrates. It

Irradiation of 3,5-diphenyl- or 3-(p-tolyl)-5-phenyl-2-isoxazoline (12 and 13, respectively) in benzene with a high-pressure mercury lamp yields 4,5-diphenyl- or 4-(p-tolyl)-5-phenyl-3-oxazoline (17 and 19, respectively) and the β-amino-chalcones 18 or 20 in addition to benzaldehyde, benzonitrile and p-tolunitrile, respectively (scheme 6 and ‘Anmerkg.’ p. 2600). The 3-oxazolines 17 and 19 are formed

Thermocatalytic decomposition of diazo esters in the presence of 3-aryl-2H-azirines gives rise to azirinium ylides. The latter preferentially transform via isomerization into 2-azabuta-1,3-diene derivatives or, with excess diazo compound, via reaction with the Rh-carbenoid to form 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrole derivatives. In contrast, ylides generated from 2-monosubstituted or 2,2-disubstituted 3-phenyl-2H-azirines
Catalytic asymmetric synthesis of 3,2′-pyrrolinyl spirooxindoles <i>via</i> conjugate addition/Schmidt-type rearrangement of vinyl azides and (<i>E</i>)-alkenyloxindoles
A catalytic asymmetric conjugate addition/Schmidt-type rearrangement of vinyl azides and (E)-alkenyloxindoles was realized. It afforded a variety of opticallyactive 3,2′-pyrrolinyl spirooxindoles with high yields (up to 98%), and excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee, >19 : 1 dr), even at the gram-scale in the presence of a chiral N,N′-dioxide–nickel(II) complex.

Palladium‐ and rhodium‐catalyzed selective reactions of 2H‐azirines and N‐(acyloxy)amides leading to α‐amino oxime esters were described. The regioselectivity is catalyst‐controlled, and two different α‐amino oxime esters were chemoselectively obtained in high yields.
