    Article pubs.acs.org/JACS Terms of Use Mechanism and Selectivity of Rhodium-Catalyzed 1:2 Coupling of Aldehydes and Allenes Genping Huang, Marcin Kalek, and Fahmi Himo* Department of Organic Chemistry, Arrhenius Laboratory, Stockholm University, SE-106 91 Stockholm, Sweden *S Supporting Information ABSTRACT: The rhodium-catalyzed highly regioselective 1:2 coupling of aldehydes and allenes was investigated by means of density functional theory calculations. Full free energy profiles were calculated, and several possible reaction pathways were evaluated. It is shown that the energetically most plausible catalytic cycle is initiated by oxidative coupling of the two allenes, which was found to be the rate-determining step of the overall reaction. Importantly, Rh−allyl complexes that are able to adopt both η3 and η1 configurations were identified as key intermediates present throughout the catalytic cycle with profound implications for the selectivity of the reaction. The calculations reproduced and rationalized the experimentally observed selectivities and provided an explanation for the remarkable alteration in the product distribution when the catalyst precursor is changed from [RhCl(nbd)]2 (nbd = norbornadiene) to complexes containing noncoordinating counterions ([Rh(cod)2X]; X = OTf, BF4,PF6; cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene). It turns out that the overall selectivity of the reaction is controlled by a combination of the inherent selectivities of several of the elementary steps and that both the mechanism and the nature of the selectivity-determining steps change when the catalyst is changed. 1.

D. Stanley Tarbell (22, p.497) sug:ested that the rearrangement to the para position involved a dissociation of the allyl group, either as an ion or a radical, although he mentions that serious objections can be raised to both. liurd and Pollack (10, p.550) have suggested that rearrange- ment to the para position might go by two steps: first, a shift of the allyl group to the ortho position with inver- sion, as described for the ortho rearrangement, followed by another shift to the para position with inversion. Very recently, in view of new data presented, there has been a tendency to accept this mechanism. In this mochanism,first postulated by Hurd and Pollack (lo, p.550), the intermediate formed in the first step would be a dienone, III.

  • Estimation of the Allyl Group in Starch Derivatives
    Estimation of the allyl group in starch derivatives K. TIHLÁRIK, V. KÉRY, and M. PAŠTEKA Institute of Chemistry, Centre for Chemical Research, Slovak Academy of Sciences, CS-84238 Bratislava Received 7 June 1988 For estimation of the allyl groups in allylstarch a method which involves addition of mercury (II) acetate to double bonds and the subsequent acid- imetric titration has been applied. The method was verified by the allyl alcohol estimation and the results obtained in the estimation of two allyl­ starch samples were compared with the values of elemental analyses and with the degree of substitution values calculated from these analyses. There was a good agreement between both approaches. The method is especially suitable for the derivatives with low degree of substitution. The results have been evaluated statistically. Для определения аллильных групп в аллилкрахмале был применен метод присоединения уксуснокислой ртути по двойным связям с по­ следующим ацидиметрическим титрованием. Метод был проверен путем определения количества аллилового спирта, и результаты, полу­ ченные при анализе двух образцов аллилкрахмала, были сопоставлены с результатами элементарного анализа этих образцов и с величинами степени замещения, рассчитанными исходя из результатов элементар­ ного анализа. Было обнаружено хорошее совпадение. Данный метод особенно пригоден для производных с низкой степенью замещения. Полученные результаты были статистически обработаны. Estimation of the double bonds is of importance in the products of petrol and food industries, in pharmacy, and is also important in polysaccharide deriva­ tives, e.g. in allylcellulose and allylstarch. The latter derivatives are applied not only for technical purposes but serve as intermediates, mainly in the controlled polymerization, for the production of mixed polymers for special purposes.

In the delocalized allyl residues of Li and K lJ(13C,13C)lies at about 59 Hz whereas in the transition-metal complexes lJ(13C,13C) is found between 50 and 40 Hz, depending on the bonding situation. The variations of lJ(13C,13C) can be rationalized by the relative weighting of donor and acceptor bonding in contrast to J(13C,H)and J(H,H) that, in addition to the metal-allyl bonding, are markedly influenced by deviations of the protons from the coplanarity of the allyl skeleton. Alkyl substituents in the syn position at C, produce an increase in 1J(13C,,13C)of the allyl skeleton. In the cyclic q3-allylcompounds lJ(13C,13C)is not affected by the central allyl bond angle.

The degrees of allylation measured by a proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) method for A6T and A8T were 5.99 and 7.51, respectively. Thiol-ene photopolymerizations of AxT with pentaerythritol-based tetrathiol (S4P) and isocyanurate-based trithiol (S3I) produced trehalose-incorporated polymer networks (AxT-S4P and AxT-S3I). All of the photo-cured films exhibited high transparency to visible light. The tan d peak temperatures of A8T-S4P and A6T-S4P (36.7 1C and 36.8 1C, respectively) were higher than those of A8T-S3I and A6T-S3I (21.9 1C and 23.2 1C, respectively). The former S4P-based film demonstrated much higher tensile strength and modulus at room temperature than the latter S3I-based film did. The 5% weight loss temperature of the A8T-based film was higher than that of the A6T-based film.

  • Photo-Claisen Rearrangement of Allyl Phenyl Ether in Microflow: Influence of Phenyl Core Substituents and Vision on Orthogonality
    Full Paper Photo-Claisen Rearrangement of Allyl Phenyl Ether in Microflow: Influence of Phenyl Core Substituents and Vision on Orthogonality Elnaz Shahbazali1, Timothy Noël1 and Volker Hessel1 1Department of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry, Micro Flow Chemistry and Process Technology, Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven 5600 MB, The Netherlands Received: 29 June 2016; accepted: 22 August 2016 We converted diverse commercial meta-substituted phenols to the allyl-substituted precursors via nucleophilic substitution using batch technology to allow processing these in microflow by means of the photo-Claisen rearrangement. The latter process is researched on its own, as detailed below, and also prepares the ground for a fully continuous two-step microflow synthesis, as outlined above. It is known that batch processing of electronically deactivated phenols (e.g., bearing a cyano or nitro group) has several orders of magnitude lower reactivity than their parental counterparts [1]. Thus, we here explore if the high quantum yield of microflow, yet at very short residence time, is sufficient to activate the deactivated molecules. In addition, the realization of a true orthogonal two-step flow synthesis can open the door to a large synthetic scope of our approach and possibly overcome limitations due to missing orthogonality of our previously reported thermal approach of combined nucleophilic substitution-Claisen rearrangement in microflow. Consequently, we make for our photo microflow approach an orthogonality check, as previously reported for the thermal approach, and compare both. To get a broader picture, we have investigated some major parametric sensitivities such as the irradiation intensity, the choice of solvent, the reactant concentration, and, most notably, the influence of the substitution pattern.
