AbstractWe describe the first total synthesis of the recently discovered pyrano[3,2-a]carbazole alkaloid clausenalansine A. The synthetic strategy for the construction of this formylpyrano[3,2-a]carbazole is based on a sequence of Buchwald–Hartwig coupling, palladium(II)-catalyzed oxidative cyclization, Lewis acid promoted annulation of the pyran ring, and chemoselective oxidation of a methyl to a formyl group.

In(SPh)3 is readily prepared by the reaction of InCl3 and NaSPh in methanol. The compound is a Lewis acid, forming 1:1 adducts with 2,2′-bipyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline, N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethanediamine, bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane, and dimethylsulphoxide, and 1:2 adducts with pyridine, trimethylamine, and triphenylphosphine. Reaction with R4NX (X = Cl, Br, I) or similar salts gives R4N[XIn(SPh)3] salts, which are 1:1 electrolytes. The structure of Ph4P[BrIn(SPh)3] has been determined by X-ray methods. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with cell dimensions a = 9.964(3) Å, b = 13.477(3) Å, c = 30.359(7) Å, α = 98.30(2)°, Z = 4, R = 0.0622 for 2924 unique observed reflections. The anion has distorted tetrahedral symmetry in the InBrS3 kernel, with In—Br = 2.527(2) Å, and In—S(av) = 2.450 Å. The vibrational spectra of In(SPh)3 and its derivatives in the region 500–200 cm−1 are discussed.

The zirconiumamide complex [(cyclohex-1-enyl)cyclohexylamido]bis(dicyclohexylamido)[methyltris(pentafluorophenyl)borato]zirconium(IV) hexane monosolvate, [Zr{N(C6H11)2}2{N(C6H11)(C6H9)}{BCH3(C6F5)3}]·C6H14, is zwitterionic and bears a Zr+—μ-CH3—B− moiety. The reaction of tris(dicyclohexylamido)methylzirconium with the strong Lewis acid tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane results in the formation of an azaallyl zirconium motif by the loss of H2 in one dicyclohexylamido ligand, as shown by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The ZrIV cation is coordinated to the N atoms of two dicyclohexylamido ligands, the π-system of one azaallyl ligand, and to the μ-CH3—B unit, resulting in a distorted tetrahedral coordination environment. The Zr—N distance to the azaallyl ligand is elongated, whereas the Zr—C distance to this moiety is found to be shortened in comparison with those to the two Cy2N groups (Cy is C6H11).

The crystal structure of the title zwitterionic zirconocene complex containing a furanone unit, [AlZr(C10H15)2(C4H9)3(C9H18O2Si2)], is reported. On reacting a zirconafuranone with two equivalents of HAl(i-Bu)2, disproportionation of the Lewis acid results in the formation of a triisobutylaluminium fragment, Al(i-Bu)3, which coordinates to the exocyclic carbonyl O atom of the zirconafuranone ring. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that the zirconafuranone ring remains intact with coordination of the aluminium to the exocyclic O atom. One of thei-butyl groups is disordered over two sets of sites, with an occupancy ratio of 0.731 (3):0.269 (3).

Cadmium(II) chloride reacts with toluene-3,4-dithiol (H2TDT) to give Cd (TDT), which is apparently a homopolymer in the solid state. Adducts with neutral monodentate and bidentate donors have been prepared. The structure of the salt (Ph4As)2 [Cd(TDT)2] was determined by X-ray crystallography. Crystals of this compound are monoclinic (P21/c), with a = 23.032 (4) Å, b = 12.396(4) Å, c = 22.529(5) Å, β = 111.106(2)°. The structure was refined by least-squares methods to a final R-valueof 0.0469 for 2523 "observed" reflections. The anion is a distorted tetrahedral, mononuclear species with Cd—S bond distances ranging from 2.488(5) Å to 2.531(4) Å. This anion is also a Lewis acid, forming complexes of the type [Cd(TDT)2L]2− with neutral bidentate ligands.
