With our compliments: The 1,3‐dicarbonyl unit has been shown to be a new and useful leaving group for iron‐catalyzed bond cleavage (see scheme). This new strategy can complement the traditional Friedel–Crafts reaction and was applied in the synthesis of indene derivatives.
Synthesis and structure of an air-stable bis(isopropylcyclopentadienyl) zirconium perfluorooctanesulfonate and its catalyzed benzylation of 1,3-dicarbonyl derivatives with alcohols
An air-stable uninuclear complex of bis(isopropylcyclopentadienyl) zirconium perfluorooctane sulfonate (1a center dot H2O center dot 3THF) was successfully synthesized by the reaction of (i-PrCp)(2)ZrCl2 with C17SO3Ag. The compound 1a center dot H2O center dot 3THF was characterized by different techniques (such as X-ray single crystal diffraction, TG-DSC, conductivity measurement and acid strength) and found to have the similar nature of water tolerance, air-stability, thermally-stability and strong Lewis-acidity with that of our previously reported binuclear and uninuclear zirconocenes perfluorooctanesulfonate. This novel complex was confirmed to be an effective catalyst with good recyclability and reusability for the direct benzylation of 1,3-dicarbonyl derivatives using alcohols as alkylating agents. Various 1,3-dicarbonyl and alcohols derivatives can participate in the reaction, affording the corresponding monobenzylated products in competitive yields as compared to its counterparts, such as Cp2Zr(OSO17)(2)center dot 3H(2)O center dot THF and the traditional Lewis-acid catalysts.

A novel approach for CNbondformation was developed by iron‐catalyzed CCbond cleavage. Anilines and sulfonamides reacted smoothly with 2‐substituted 1,3‐diphenylpropane‐1,3‐diones to afford N‐alkylation products, in which the 1,3‐dicarbonyl group acts as a leaving group in the presence of an iron catalyst. The reversible CCbond cleavage plays a driving force to give the thermodynamically stable
Air-stable μ2-hydroxyl bridged cationic binuclear complexes of zirconocene perfluorooctanesulfonates: their structures, characterization and application
binuclear structures: (i) [CpZr(OH2)3]2(μ2-OH)2(OSO2C8F17)4·2THF·4H2O (1a·2THF·4H2O), (ii) [n-BuCpZr(OH2)3]2(μ2-OH)2(OSO2C8F17)4·6H2O (2a·6H2O), and (iii) [t-BuCpZr(OH2)3]2(μ2-OH)2(OSO2C8F17)4·2C3H6O·8H2O (3a·2C3H6O·8H2O). The ligands of water and organic molecules in the complexes originated from the moist air and solvent during their recrystallization. These complexes were characterized with different
