Transesterification catalyzed by iron(III) β-diketonate species
摘要:
A practical and clean protocol for transesterification catalyzed by a 5 mol % cheap, non-toxic and moisture stable Fe(acac)(3) or other iron(III) beta-diketonate species in solvent, such as heptane under azeotropic condition is developed. A remarkable rate enhancement was observed upon the addition of 5 mol % of an inorganic base, such as Na2CO3, which suggests that faster formation of a dimeric mu-alkoxy-bridged iron (III) species under alkaline conditions facilitates catalytic turnover. This system provides smooth transesterification over a wide range of structurally diverse esters and alcohols without disturbing functional groups. In addition, the use of iron beta-diketonate complexes as catalysts is more environmentally friendly, safer, and economical than other transition-metal catalysts. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicate that the active catalyst is likely a dimeric mu-alkoxy-bridged iron(III) species, as determined by X-ray crystallography of [Fe(dbm)(2)(O-n-Bu)](2) derived from the alcoholysis of Fe(dbm)(3) under alkaline conditions.

Direct β‐carbonactivation of propionic acid (C2H5CO2H) by carbene organocatalysis has been developed. This activation affords the smallest azolium homoenolate intermediate (without any substituent) as a 3‐carbon nucleophile for enantioselective reactions. Propionic acid is an excellent raw material because it is cheap, stable, and safe. This approach provides a much better solution to azolium homoenolate

‐Acetals from α‐Dicarbonyl Compounds Using Chiral Imidazoline‐Phosphoric Acid Catalysts
The enantioselectivesynthesis of chiral N,N‐acetals derived from α‐dicarbonyl compounds has been achieved. Good yields and enantioselectivities were observed for the reaction with various α‐dicarbonyl compounds with 2‐aminobenzamides using chiral bis(imidazoline)‐phosphoric acid catalysts. Based on these experimental investigations, a possible transition state is proposed to explain the origin of

[GRAPHICS]Among six different group VIb oxometallic species examined, dioxomolybdenum dichloride and oxomolybdenum tetrachloride were the most efficient catalysts to facilitate nucleophilic acyl substitution (NAS) of anhydrides with a myriad array of alcohols, amines, and thiols in high yields and high chemoselectivity. In contrast to the well-recognized redox chemical behaviors associated with oxomolybdenum(VI) species, the catalytic NAS was unprecedented and tolerates virtually all kinds of functional groups. By using benzoic anhydride as a mediator for in situ generation of an incipient mixed anhydride -MoO2Cl2 adduct with a given functional alkanoic acid, one can achieve oleate, dipeptide, diphenylmethyl, N-Fmoc-alpha-amino, pyruvic, and tert-butylthio ester, N-tert-butylamide, and trityl methacrylate syntheses with appropriate protic nucleophiles. The amphoteric character of the Mo=O unit in oxomolybdenum chlorides was found to be responsible for the catalytic NAS profile as supported by a control NAS reaction of using an authentic adduct-MoOCl2(O-2-CBut)(2) between pivalic anhydride and MoO2Cl2 as the catalyst.
