Polychlorinated Acetamides from the Cyanobacterium Microcoleus lyngbyaceus
摘要:
Several new compounds were isolated from the organic extract of the cyanobacterium Microcolcus lyngbyaceus, and their structures were determined by spectroscopic means. Polychlorinated acetamidoalkynes and alkanes were the major metabolites. 6-Acetamido-1,1,1-trichloroundccane, a positional isomer of the naturally occurring 5-acetamido-1,1,1-trichloroundecane, was synthesized in six steps from 6-decanolactone.

The reduction of unactivated esters using samariumdiiodide is reported for the first time. The optimised protocol allows for the reduction of primary, secondary and tertiary alkyl esters in excellent yields and is competitive with reductions mediated by metal hydrides and alkali metals.
We present the first base‐free Fe‐catalyzed ester reduction applying molecular hydrogen. Without any additives, a variety of carboxylic acid esters and lactones were hydrogenated with high efficiency. Computations reveal an outer‐sphere mechanism involving simultaneous hydrogen transfer from the iron center and the ligand. This assumption is supported by NMR experiments.

commercial catalyst supply. However, the mild instability of TPAP creates preparation, storage, and reaction reproducibility issues, due to unpreventable slow decomposition. In search of attributes conducive to catalyst longevity an extensive range of novelperruthenate salts were prepared. Subsequent evaluation unearthed a set of readily synthesized, bench stable, phosphonium perruthenates (ATP3 and

Two secondaryamides (N-methylacetamide and 2-pyrrolidinone) were used as additives with SmI2 in THF to estimate the extent of N–H bond weakening upon coordination. Mechanistic and synthetic studies demonstrate significant bond-weakening, providing a reagent system capable of reducing a range of substrates through formal hydrogen atom transfer.

N-dimethyl-2-aminoethanol (DMAE) on the reactivity of SmI2 is presented. The SmI2–DMAE reagent system is capable of reducing a range of substrates including alkyl halides, ketones, lactones, and arenes. Mechanisticstudies on anthracene reduction are consistent with a system that proceeds through a highly ordered, early transition state requiring 2 equiv of DMAE and 1 equiv of anthracene and Sm(II).
