A Convenient Synthesis of Methyl 4-Substituted Benzoates via Diels-Alder Reaction in the Presence of Palladium on Activated Carbon
摘要:
The thermal reaction of methyl 2-oxo-2H-pyran-5-carboxylates with substituted styrenes in the presence of 10% palladium on activated carbon afforded directly the corresponding methyl 4-biphenylcarboxylates in good yields. By the similar procedure, methyl 4-heteroaryl- and 4-alkyl-substituted benzoates were obtained from heteroaromatic olefins and alkenes, respectively.
Syndiospecific Synthesis of Longer p-n-Alkyl-Substituted Polystyrenes Using Monocyclopentadienyl-Type Titanium Catalysts
摘要:
Substituted styrenes with linear alkyl substituents (C-6 to C-12) at the Para position on the ring were synthesized and polymerized using the (Me)(5)CpTi(OMe)(3)/MAO catalytic system. Increased polymerization activities were observed for longer alkyl group (>C-6) substituted styrenes; all resulting polymers were highly syndiospecific (>99% rr) regardless of alkyl chain lengths. Syndiotactic poly(p-alkylstyrene)s were characterized by SEC, H-1 and C-13 NMR, DSC, and X-ray diffraction. No melting transition was observed for polymers prepared from p-methyl-, p-n-hexyl, and p-n-octylstyrenes. Side-chain-induced crystallization was observed for linear C-10 and C-12 alkyl-substituted polystyrenes (T-m approximate to 90 degreesC). The T-g decreased with an increase in the length of alkyl side chain up to C-8 length; above C-10 side-chain length, the T-g slightly increased. The T-g's of syndiotactic poly(p-n-alkylsyrene)s were significantly higher than those reported for the corresponding nontactic analogues.
We recently reported that 4-epi-jaspine B exhibits potent inhibitory activity towards sphingosine kinases (SphKs). In this study, we investigated the effects of modifying the 2-alkyl group, as well as the functional groups on the THF ring of 4-epi-jaspine B using a diversity-oriented synthesis approach based on a late-stage cross metathesis reaction. The introduction of a p-phenylene tether to the
Activation of N-sulfonyliminiodinanes was achieved by photo-irradiation at 375 nm, which enabled the reaction with several alkenes to afford the corresponding aziridines. Mechanistic studies suggested that the reaction would proceed through a stepwise mechanism via radical intermediates rather than through a concerted process.

AbstractA selective and operationally simple iron‐catalyzed cross‐coupling of aryl chlorides with alkylmagnesium halides has been developed. The reaction tolerates various functional groups and exhibits high chemoselectivity even in the presence of aryl bromides. Mechanistic studies indicate the essential role of the olefin substituent for substrate activation. Competing polymerization and reduction are effectively suppressed.magnified image
