Incorporation of 2-Arylhexa-1,5-diene into Pentasil Zeolite: A Distorted 1-Arylcyclohexane-1,4-diyl Radical Cation at Room Temperature
摘要:
Incorporation into a redox-active pentasil zeolite [(Na,H)-ZSM-5] converted 2-arylhexa-1,5-dienes (9a-c; aryl = phenyl, tolyl, anisyl) into 1-arylcyclohexane-1,4-diyl radical cations, 10a-c(.+). The ESR spectra of 10a-c(.+) (six lines, g = 2.0026; a = 9.0 G) indicated the presence of five essentially equivalent nuclei, indicating limited delocalization of spin and charge into the phenyl group. Sequestered in the pores of ZSM-5, the three species 10a-c(.+) are stable at room temperature, in striking contrast to the parent radical cation in cryogenic matrices: cyclohexane-1,4-diyl radical cation is converted to cyclohexene radical cation above 90 K. The structures of radical cation 10a(.+) (X = H) and of the unsubstituted parent were probed by density functional theory (DFT) and ab initio calculations.
novel and atom-economic palladium-catalyzed isomerization-hydrocarbonylative cyclization reaction of 1,5-dienes to 2-alkylidenecyclopentanones has been developed, which provides a rapid and straightforward approach to 2-alkylidenecyclopentanones with high stereoselectivity. The reaction was found to proceed via alkene isomerization and selective hydrocarbonylative cyclization to generate 2-alkylidenecyclopentanones

vinylidenecyclopropanes with diphenyl diselenide in the presence of AIBN and upon heating gives the corresponding bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane derivatives in good yields. These compounds undergo thermal‐induced radical 1,4‐hydrogen shifts through a ring‐opening pathway of allylic cyclopropane to give the corresponding cyclohexene derivatives stereoselectively in good yields at 200 °C (see scheme).

An efficient catalytic system for the intramolecular ene reaction of allene and alkene of diarylvinylidenecyclopropanes has been established. The reaction was achieved by using [RhCl(CO)(2)](2) as the catalyst In co-solvents of toluene and acetonitrile. MeCN was found to play a crucial role in controlling the reaction toward formation of bicyclo[5.1.0]octylene derivatives. An alternative system consisting of [RhCl(CO)(2)](2) and toluene in the absence of MeCN was found to give [2 + 2] cycloaddition adducts. The structures have been unambiguously determined by X-ray structural analysis. Deuterium labeling experiments were conducted to confirm the mechanism hypothesis.

An intramolecular ring-opening of vinylidenecyclopropanes (VDCPs) tethered with alcohol chains has been established. A series of transition metal catalysts and their combinations have been screened under mild conditions, and a cocatalyst system consisting of [(Ph3PAu)(3)O]BF4 (4 mol %) and AgOTf (4 mol %) was found to catalyze the reaction to completion within 10-30 min in 1,4-dioxane at 60 degrees C to give allene-functionalized tetrahydropyrans.
