The radical decarboxylation–sulfoxide cycloelimination of 2′-pyridylthio esters formed from a series of podocarpic acid derivatives gives Δ4(18) -alkenes in high yield. An exception is the 13-nitro acid (2) which affords a thiohydroxamic ester (28), the relative stability of which is attributed to inhibition of the radical chain reaction by the nitro group. The stereochemistry of the pyridyl sulfide (18) has been confirmed by X-ray crystallography.

[Ni(′NHS′4)]2 (′NHS′42- = 2,2′-bis(2-mercaptophenylthio)diethylamine(2-)) was synthesized from Ni(ac)2 and Na2—′NHS′4 and characterized by X-ray structure analysis. In the solid state [Ni(′NHS′4)]2 contains two pseudooctahedral [Ni(′NHS′4)] fragments bridged via thiolate donors, in DMF solution at 110 °C it dissociates into mononuclear entities. The product of the template reaction between [Ni(′S′2)2]2- (′S′22- = 1,2-benzenedithiolate) and (BrC2H4)2NH was shown to contain an as yet unidentified by-product in addition to [Ni(′NHS′4)]2. Pure [Ni(′NHS′4)]2 does not react with pyridine, but the template product forms [Ni(Py)2(′S′2)] which has a square planar coordination geometry with the pyridine rings perpendicular to the NiS2N, plane.Investigation of the template formation of [Ni(′NHS′4)]2 provided evidence that the reaction of [Ni(′S′2)2]2- with (BrC2H4)2NH involves radicals, suggesting a radical chain reaction mechanism.

Abstract The crystal structure of 2-deoxy-β-D-enrythro-pentopyranose (1) was reexamined by X-ray crystallographic studies. In crystalline 1, a radiation-induced chain reaction occurs with the only product being, 2,5-dideoxy-D-enrythro-pentonic acid (4). In the chain propagating step leading to 4, an H atom is transferred over a distance of ≤ 3.3 Å as taken from interatomic distances in the unperturbed crystal. The crystal structure clearly indicates the direction by which the chain reaction proceeds through the crystal. The strong temperature dependence of G(4) is discussed in terms of temperature effects on chain initiation, propagation and termination rates.

Catalytic enantioselective synthesis of tetrahydrofurans, which are found in the structures of many biologically active natural products, via a transition-metal catalyzed-hydrogen atom transfer (TM-HAT) and radical-polar crossover (RPC) mechanism is described herein. Hydroalkoxylation of non-conjugated alkenes proceeded efficiently with excellent enantioselectivity (up to 94% ee) using a suitable chiral cobalt catalyst, <i>N</i>-fluoro-2,4,6-collidinium tetrafluoroborate, and diethylsilane. Surprisingly, absolute configuration of the product was highly dependent on the steric hindrance of the silane. Slow addition of the silane, the dioxygen effect in the solvent, thermal dependency, and DFT calculation results supported the unprecedented scenario of two competing selective mechanisms. For the less-hindered diethylsilane, a high concentration of diffused carbon-centered radicals invoked diastereoenrichment of an alkylcobalt(III) intermediate by a radical chain reaction, which eventually determined the absolute configuration of the product. On the other hand, a more hindered silane resulted in less opportunity for radical chain reaction, instead facilitating enantioselective kinetic resolution during the late-stage nucleophilic displacement of the alkylcobalt(IV) intermediate.

Flash vacuum pyrolysis of 1-(alkyn-2′-oyl)-3-methylpyrazoles at 650°/0.03 mm forms pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-5-ols, often in high yield, which may bear substituents at C2, C3 or C7. In the absence of a 3-methyl group in the precursor, N-ethynylpyrazoles are formed in low yield. The formation of both types of product is interpreted as involving 3-(N-pyrazolyl)propadienones formed by N1 → N2 migration of the N-alkynoyl group with inversion of the three-carbon chain. The fused-ring structure of 2-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-5-ol (25) was established by X-ray crystallography of the O-benzoyl derivative (27).

Treatment of the 7-oxopodocarpic acid derivatives (1) and (3) with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone affords the conjugated dienones (5) and (6) directly. The latter compounds have potential as optically active relays for the synthesis of 3-oxygenated diterpenoids . The stereochemistry of an epoxide (7) formed from the dienone (5) has been confirmed by X-ray crystallography.

AbstractTreatment of THF solutions containing the rhodium(II) complex trans-[RhCl2(PtBu2Ph)2] (1) with [Fe2(CO)9] in the same solvent resulted in the formation of the Vaska-type complex trans-[RhCl(CO)(PtBu2Ph)2] (2) in high yield. The title complex 2 was obtained as pale yellow crystals, characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy, as well as by microanalyses. Additionally, the molecular structure of 2 has been established by X-ray crystallography. As often reported for similar constituted compounds, the chlorido and carbonyl ligands in crystals of 2 are strongly disordered.
