Keywords: aqueous reaction medium; MAOS; Mizoroki–Heck reaction; Pd nanoparticle; sustainable organic synthesis Abstract Aqueous Mizoroki–Heck coupling reactions under microwave irradiation (MW) were carried out with a colloidal Pd nanocatalyst stabilized with poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP). Many stilbenes and novel heterostilbenes were achieved in good to excellent yields starting from aryl bromides and different olefins. The reaction was carried out in a short reaction time and with low catalyst loading, leading to high turnover frequency (TOFs of the order of 100 h−1). The advantages like operational simplicity, high robust- ness, efficiency and turnover frequency, the utilization of aqueous media and simple product work-up make this protocol a great option for stilbene syntheses by Mizoroki–Heck reaction. Introduction Palladium-catalyzed reactions have emerged as an important basic types of Pd-catalyzed reactions, particularly the vinyl- tool for organic synthesis. Among them, cross-coupling and ation of aryl/vinyl halides or triflates [7-10], explored not only coupling reactions have been broadly applied for C–C and in the inter- and intramolecular version [2,11-13], but also in C–heteroatom bond formation [1-6].

  • Synthesis of Indole and Oxindole Derivatives Incorporating Pyrrolidino, Pyrrolo Or Imidazolo Moieties
    From DEPARTMENT OF BIOSCIENCES AT NOVUM Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden SYNTHESIS OF INDOLE AND OXINDOLE DERIVATIVES INCORPORATING PYRROLIDINO, PYRROLO OR IMIDAZOLO MOIETIES Stanley Rehn Stockholm 2004 All previously published papers have been reproduced with permission from the publishers. Published and printed by Karolinska University Press Box 200, SE-171 77 Stockholm, Sweden © Stanley Rehn, 2004 ISBN 91-7140-169-5 Till Amanda Abstract The focus of this thesis is on the synthesis of oxindole- and indole-derivatives incorporating pyrrolidins, pyrroles or imidazoles moieties. Pyrrolidino-2-spiro-3’-oxindole derivatives have been prepared in high yielding three-component reactions between isatin, α-amino acid derivatives, and suitable dipolarophiles. Condensation between isatin and an α-amino acid yielded a cyclic intermediate, an oxazolidinone, which decarboxylate to give a 1,3-dipolar species, an azomethine ylide, which have been reacted with several dipolarophiles such as N- benzylmaleimide and methyl acrylate. Both N-substituted and N-unsubstituted α- amino acids have been used as the amine component. 3-Methyleneoxindole acetic acid ethyl ester was reacted with p- toluenesulfonylmethyl isocyanide (TosMIC) under basic conditions which gave (in a high yield) a colourless product. Two possible structures could be deduced from the analytical data, a pyrroloquinolone and an isomeric ß-carboline. To clarify which one of the alternatives that was actually formed from the TosMIC reaction both the ß- carboline and the pyrroloquinolone were synthesised. The ß-carboline was obtained when 3-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester was treated with a tosylimine. An alternative synthesis of the pyrroloquinolone was performed via a reduction of a 2,3,4-trisubstituted pyrrole obtained in turn by treatment of a vinyl sulfone with ethyl isocyanoacetate under basic conditions.

  • Abstract Multicomponent Reactions of Salicylaldehyde, Cyclic Ketones, and Arylamines Through Cooperative Enamine-Metal Lewis
    ABSTRACT MULTICOMPONENT REACTIONS OF SALICYLALDEHYDE, CYCLIC KETONES, AND ARYLAMINES THROUGH COOPERATIVE ENAMINE-METAL LEWIS ACID CATALYSIS by Ryan Gregory Sarkisian Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) are the most atom economic, highly selective, and convergent type of reaction. This allows for a reaction to have a wide scope and allows for maximization of the complexity of a product. Catalyzing these MCRs with asymmetric catalysis is a novel way to introduce stereocontrol into highly complex molecules with various functional groups. Asymmetric catalysis is considered the most efficient method for constructing highly functionalized optically active stereopure compounds. There are three pillars of asymmetric catalysis: biocatalysis, transition metal catalysis, and organocatalysis. This research focuses on two of these pillars, transition metal catalysis and organocatalysis, working cooperatively to catalyze this MCR. The focus is to educate or refresh the audience on the basic topics that make up the complexity of the MCRs being catalyzed by cooperative asymmetric catalysis. Ultimately to explore the cooperative catalysts used to synthesize both the racemic and asymmetric three fused ring products (9-((4-methoxyphenyl)amino)-2,3,4,4a,9,9a-hexahydro-1H-xanthen-4a-ol).

  • Mechanisms of the Mizoroki-Heck Reaction
    P1: OTA c01 JWBK261-Oestreich December 16, 2008 10:9 Printer: Yet to come 1 Mechanisms of the Mizoroki–Heck Reaction Anny Jutand Departement´ de Chimie, Ecole Normale Superieure,´ CNRS, 24 Rue Lhomond, Paris Cedex 5, France 1.1 Introduction The palladium-catalysed Mizoroki–Heck reaction is the most efficient route for the vinyla- tion of aryl/vinyl halides or triflates. This reaction, in which a C C bond is formed, proceeds in the presence of a base (Scheme 1.1) [1, 2]. Nonconjugated alkenes are formed in re- actions involving cyclic alkenes (Scheme 1.2) [1e, 2a,c,e,g] or in intramolecular reactions (Scheme 1.3) [2b,d–g] with creation of stereogenic centres. Asymmetric Mizoroki–Heck reactions may be performed in the presence of a chiral ligand [2]. The Mizoroki–Heck reaction has been intensively developed from a synthetic and mechanistic point of view, as expressed by the impressive number of reviews and book chapters [1, 2]. In the late 1960s, Heck reported that arylated alkenes were formed in the reaction of alkenes with a stoichiometric amount of [Ar–Pd Cl] or [Ar–Pd–OAc], generated in situ by reacting ArHgCl with PdCl2 or ArHgOAc with Pd(OAc)2 respectively [3]. A mechanism was proposed which involves a syn migratory insertion of the alkene into the Ar–Pd bond, followedbyasyn β-hydride elimination of a hydridopalladium [HPdX] (X = Cl, OAc) (Scheme 1.4a). In the case of cyclic alkenes, in which no syn β-hydride is available, a syn β-hydride elimination occurs, leading to a nonconjugated alkene (Scheme 1.4b).

Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Pharmacy 244. 74 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 91–554–4883–6 The palladium-catalysed Heck-reaction has been utilised in organic synthesis, where the introduction of aryl groups at the internal, β-carbon of different allylic substrates has been performed with high regioselectivity. The β-stabilising effect of silicon enhances the regiocontrol in the internal arylation of allyltrimethylsilane, while a coordination between palladium and nitrogen induces very high regioselectivities in the arylation of N,N-dialkylallylamines and the Boc-protected allylamine, producing β-arylated arylethylamines, which are of interest for applications in medicinal chemistry. Phthalimido-protected allylamines are arylated with poor to moderate regioselectivity. Single-mode microwave heating can reduce the reaction times of Heck-, Stille- and radical mediated reactions drastically from approximately 20 hours to a few minutes with, in the majority of cases, retained, high

  • Chem 345 Pset 22 Key 1.) for Aldol, Michael, Claisen, and Mannich
    Chem 345 PSet 22 Key 1.) For Aldol, Michael, Claisen, and Mannich reactions, the first step is the creation of a nucleophile. Under basic conditions, the nucleophile is an enolate. Under acidic conditions, the nucleophile is an enol. Draw the mechanism for the formation of both species and then draw the reaction backwards. O NaOH O H H O HCl OH H H 2.) In the case of a Mannich reaction, the electrophile (an imine) must also be made. Draw the mechanism for the forward and backward reaction: O MeNH2 N H H cat. AcOH H H 3.) When a secondary amine is used and the carbonyl has an enolizable proton, an enamine can be formed. Are enamines nucleophilic or electrophilic? Nucleophilic H O N N H2O H cat. AcOH H enamine N N H H enamine 4.) The following reaction is the Lobry-de-Bruyn-von-Ekenstein reaction. Don’t worry about the name. I only recently found out that that was the official name for the rearrangement leading from glucose to fructose or mannose and back again. I was taught it under a different name: the Carbohydrate Game. Under acidic or basic conditions, it is possible that the following sugars (glucose, fructose, and mannose) are in equilibrium with each other. Draw the acid catalyzed version and the base catalyzed version. (Hint: this is just a repeat of question 1.) O O H H H2C OH + + HO H H3O H OH H3O O or or HO- HO- HO H HO H HO H H OH H OH H OH H OH H OH H OH H2C OH H2C OH H2C OH D-glucose D-fructose D-mannose O O H H H2C OH + + HO H H3O H OH H3O O or or HO- HO- HO H HO H HO H H OH H OH H OH H OH H OH H OH H2C OH H2C OH H2C OH D-glucose D-fructose D-mannose The sugars are drawn in a Fisher projection (or what I think of is a dead cat projection).
