The synthesis of a series of ruthenium-based metathesis catalysts featuring imine donors chelated through the alkylidene group is described. The relative placement of the imine carbon-nitrogen double bond (exocyclic vs endocyclic) has a major impact on the initiation behavior. When used in metathesis applications, catalysts with an endocyclic imine bond show latent behavior and a high degree of tunability. The incorporation of additional donor atoms is an additional strategy for controlling initiation behavior. These latent catalysts could be useful in high-temperature applications.

olefinic bond of gamma,delta-unsaturated aldehydes underwent a net aziridination through electrophile-induced cyclization and subsequent rearrangement of the resulting cyclic iminiumsalts: this methodology allows the stereospecific introduction of aziridine moieties into cyclic systems.

The invention provides novel organometallic complexes useful as olefin metathesis catalysts. The complexes have an N-heterocyclic carbene ligand and a chelating carbene ligand associated with a Group 8 transition metal center. The molecular structure of the complexes can be altered so as to provide a substantial latency period. The complexes are particularly useful in catalyzing ring closing metathesis of acyclic olefins and ring opening metathesis polymerization of cyclic olefins.

3-Methoxypiperidines were converted into 2-(bromomethyl)pyrrolidines by reaction with boron(III) bromide in dichloromethane. This reaction proceeds via an intermediate bicyclic aziridinium ion and features a rare conversion of piperidines into pyrrolidines. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

2,5-Difunctionalised-3,3-dimethylpiperidines were prepared by addition of nucleophiles to piperideinium salts, formed by electrophile-induced cyclisation of gamma,delta -unsaturated imines with N-bromosuccinimide in alcoholic medium. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
Reduction of 5-(bromomethyl)-1-pyrrolinium bromides to 2-(bromomethyl)pyrrolidines and their transformation into piperidin-3-ones through an unprecedented ring expansion-oxidation protocol

3,3-Dialkyl-5-(bromomethyl)-1-pyrrolinium bromides, prepared via bromocyclization of N-(2,2-dialkyl-4-pentenylidene)amines by means of bromine in dichloromethane, were reduced to 4,4-dialkyl-2-(bromomethyl)pyrrolidines for the first time using borane dimethyl sulfide in dichloromethane. Furthermore, the latter 2-(bromomethyl)pyrrolidines were transformed into the corresponding piperidin-3-ones through an unprecedented ring expansion-oxidation protocol in dimethylsulfoxide in the presence potassium carbonate. Reduction of 5,5-dialkylpiperidin-3-ones by means of sodium borohydride in methanol afforded 5,5-dialkyl-3-hydroxypiperidines in good yields. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
