  • 1 Stille Polycondensation: a Versatile Synthetic Approach to Functional Polymers
    1 1 Stille Polycondensation: A Versatile Synthetic Approach to Functional Polymers Tianyue Zheng, Alexander M. Schneider, and Luping Yu 1.1 Introduction The development of functional polymers is a very active research field that covers every aspects of our lives and has had huge impact on human society due to their applications in many cutting-edge technologies, such as energy conversion and storage, electronic devices, biotechnology, and health care, to name a few [1]. Scientists from different disciplines have invented numerous new materials for those purposes. Integral to these efforts is the development of efficient, versatile, and scalable synthesis techniques, which in turn enable the development of new functional materials. Thus, new synthetic methodologies are always a critical research topic that is actively pursued. A large number of recent advances can be cited to support this view, such as ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP), atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP, a type of “living” radical polymerization), and controlled Ziegler–Natta polymerization [2, 3]. Most recently, polycondensations based on transition metal-catalyzed CC bond formation reactions have emerged as important methodologies for synthesis of electro-optic materials containing large systems. These reactions include Stille, Suzuki, Negishi, Heck, and so on [4–7]. The Stille reaction is one of the best methods for the synthesis of organic functional materials due to its excellent compatibility with various functional groups and high reaction yield. The most attractive application of the Stille coupling reaction is in the synthesis of conjugated, polyaromatic semiconducting materials, which are an important class of materials for organic electronics. These materials exhibit good solubility in various sol- vents, which allows them to be fabricated into devices using inexpensive solution-phase printing techniques [8].

Especially, much attention was placed on the transition metal catalyzed synthetic methodologies in this review. Keywords: 2-pyrone; synthesis; marine natural product; metal-catalyzed reaction 1. Introduction Pyrones constitute a family of six-membered unsaturated cyclic compounds containing an oxygen atom. In view of chemical motifs, γ-pyrone is the vinylogous form of α-pyrone (instead of α-pyrone, the term “2-pyrone” will be used hereafter), which possesses a lactone. As a result, these ring systems share similar chemical properties (Figure 1) [1–3]. Figure 1. Structures of pyrones. 2-pyrone is extremely prevalent in numerous natural products isolated from plants, animals, marine organisms, bacteria, fungi, and insects that exhibit a broad range of biological activities, such as antifungal, antibiotic, cytotoxic, neurotoxic and phytotoxic(Figure 2) [4]. Moreover, 2-pyrone can Mar. Drugs 2015, 13 1582 serve as a versatile building block for the synthesis of key intermediates in synthetic organic chemistry as well as in medicinal chemistry due to the existence of functional groups, such as conjugated diene and the ester group.

  • Stille Coupling of Α-Acyloxybenzylstannanes with Acid Chlorides
    Stille Coupling of α-Acyloxybenzylstannanes with Acid Chlorides by Junhui Xu A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Chemistry Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2016 © Junhui Xu 2016 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Two widely-accepted models (open- and cyclic- transmetalation) are applied to explain the stereochemical outcome of the Stille coupling with organotin compounds containing an sp3 chiral center. However, it is still not possible to predict the stereochemical outcome of this type of Stille coupling before the reaction is conducted. To have a better understanding of the detailed mechanism involved, the Stille couplings of different α-acyloxybenzylstannanes with different acid chlorides were studied in this project. The effects of several factors of both the yield and the stereochemical outcome of the Stille reaction containing an α-acyloxybenzylstannane have been studied. These factors were the protecting group on the organotin nucleophile, ligand, solvent and the substituent on the electrophile. It was found that both a bulky protecting group and ligand with mild σ-donicity could give good yield, while adding any substituent on the electrophile always lowered the yield of reaction. Retention of configuration was observed in the Stille coupling reaction containing an enantiomerically enriched α-alcyloxybenzylstannane. Potential racemization was found after the reaction. Adding a base or doubling the amount of CuCN successfully achieved retention of configuration with > 90% enantiospecificity (e.s.) regardless of the nature of the protecting group, substituent on the electrophile and phosphine ligand.

    Myers The Stille Reaction Chem 115 Recent Reviews: • Oxidative addition initally gives a cis complex that can rapidly isomerize to the trans isomer: Williams, R. Org. Synth. 2011, 88, 197–201.

Organometallics 1998, 17, 954–959. • !-hydride elimination can be a serious side reaction within alkyl palladium intermediates. This typically requires a syn coplanar alignment of hydride and palladium: Typically: • R and R' are sp2–hybridized • M = Sn, B, Zr, Zn • X = I, OSO2CF3, Br, Cl • catalyst = Pd (sometimes Ni) H Pd(II)L2X + HPd(II)L2X Mechanism: • A specific example: • Oxidative-addition and reductive-elimination steps occur with retention of configuration for 2 Pd catalyst sp -hybridized substrates. p-Tol–Br + n-Bu3Sn–Ph p-Tol–Ph + n-Bu3Sn–Br Pd(II) • Transmetalation is proposed to be the rate-determining step with most substrates. • Relative order of ligand transfer from Sn: p-Tol–Ph Pd(0)Ln p-Tol–Br alkynyl > alkenyl > aryl > allyl = benzyl > "-alkoxyalkyl > alkyl reductive elimination oxidative addition • Electron-rich and sterically hindered aryl halides undergo slower oxidative addition and are often poor substrates as a result. p-Tol–Pd(II)Lm–Ph p-Tol–Pd(II)Lm–Br • Electron-poor stannanes undergo slower transmetallation and are often poor substrates as n-Bu Sn–Br n-Bu Sn–Ph 3 3 a result.
