Copper-Catalyzed Arylation of Stabilized Carbanions A mild, general catalytic system for the synthesis of a-aryl malonates has been developed. Aryl iodides bearing a variety of functional groups can be effectively coupled to diethyl malonate in high yields using inexpensive and widely available reagents, making this a superior method to those previously described that employ copper reagents or catalysts. The functional group tolerance of the process developed makes it complementary to analogous palladium-catalyzed couplings. Importantly, a set of mild reaction conditions has been developed that minimize product decomposition, a problem that had not been addressed previously in the literature.

Mallik ii ABSTRACT This dissertation describes the design, synthesis, and supramolecular surface chemistry of bi- and tri-dentate surface anchors for nanoscience and nanobiotechnology. Molecular electronic device candidates, based on the tridentate surface anchor 2,4,9-trithia-tricyclo[3.3.1.13,7]decane, were used to bridge two ruthenium metal clusters. These well-designed ruthenium complexes were used as nanometer-sized molecular connector/metal cluster models to investigate the surface binding characteristics of tridentate surface anchor-metal junctions. Bi-dentate surface anchors, 1,4-dimercapto-2,3-dimethyl-butane- 2,3-diol and 4,5-dimethyl-2-(4-vinyl-phenyl)-[1,3,2]dioxaborolane-4,5-dithiol, were synthesized. They were used as ligands for stabilizing gold nanoparticles by two methods: direct reduction reaction, and ligand exchange reaction with triphenylphosphine-stabilized gold nanoparticles.

It can be derived by oxidizing malic acid or by the hydrolysis of cyanacetic acid. Malonic acid itself is rather unstable and has few applications. It's diethyl ester (diethyl malonate) is more important commercially. Diethyl malonate, a colourless, fragrant liquid boiling at 199 C, is prepared by the reaction of monochloroacetatic acid with methanol, carbon monoxide or by the reaction cyanoacetic acid (the half nitriled-malonic acid) with ethyl alcohol. Malonic acid and its esters contain active methylene groups which have relatively acidic alpha-protons due to H atoms adjacent to two carbonyl groups. The reactivity of its methylene group provide the sequence of reactions of alkylation, hydrolysis of the esters and decarboxylation resulting in substituted ketones. The methylene groups in 1,3-dicarboxylic acid utilize the synthesis of barbiturates; a hydrogen atom is removed by sodium ethoxide, and the derivative reacts with an alkyl halide to form a diethyl alkylmalonate.

  • Ethyl Acetoacetate (Acetoacetic Ester) (B) Diethyl Molonote (Molonic Ester) the Structure of (A) and (B) Are As
    PRESENTATION OF ENOLATES Dr. Susmita Bajpai Department of Chemistry B.N.D. College, Kanpur ENOLATES The class of compounds which contain a methylene group (–CH2–) directly bonded to the electron withdrawing groups such as –COCH3, –COOC2H5, –CN, are called active methylene compounds. This is so because the –CH2 group in them is acidic and reactive. The two examples are (a) Ethyl acetoacetate (Acetoacetic ester) (b) Diethyl molonote (Molonic ester) The structure of (a) and (b) are as This reaction is known as claisen condensation Ethyl acetoacetate (CH3COOCH2COOC2H5) • It's IUPAC name is ethyl 3-oxobutanoate • Preparation: Ethyl acetoacetate is prepared by heating ethyl acetate with sodium ethoxide in ethanol, followed by acidification. Claisen condensation • It is a condensation reaction in which, two ester molecules condensed to form an alcohol and a b-Keto ester. Therefore ethyl acetoacetate is a b-Keto ester. • Mechanism: The mechanism involves three steps: + • Step-I :- First sodium ethoxide (C2H5O–Na ) breaks into ethoxide ion and sodium ion. This ethoxide ion attacks ethyl acetoacetate to give ethyl alcohol and ester anion. Step -II: Ester anion attacks the carbonyl group of a second molecules of ethyl acetate. • Step-III: Ethoxide ion is eliminated Properties • It is a colourless pleasant smelling liquid • b.p. - 180.4oC • It is sparingly soluble in water but freely so in organic solvent. • It is neutral to litmus. Chemical properties • It is a tautomeric mixture of Keto and enol forms. Therefore it gives the reaction of the various functional groups present in the two forms. Acidity of methylene hydrogen (Formation of salt) • In ethyl acetoacetate methylene group (–CH2–) flank by two carbonyl group.
