Full control over the selectivity of carbon–carbon double-bond migrations would enable access to stereochemically defined olefins that are central to the pharmaceutical, food, fragrance, materials, and petrochemical arenas. The vast majority of double-bond migrations investigated over the past 60 years capitalize on precious-metal hydrides that are frequently associated with reversible equilibria, hydrogen scrambling, incompleteE/Zstereoselection, and/or high cost. Here, we report a fundamentally different, radical-based approach. We showcase a nonprecious, reductant-free, and atom-economical nickel (Ni)(I)-catalyzed intramolecular 1,3-hydrogen atom relocation to yieldE-olefins within 3 hours at room temperature. Remote installations ofE-olefins over extended distances are also demonstrated.

Photolysis of hexacarbonyl-chromium(0), -molybdenum(0), and -tungsten(0) in presence of fumaronitrile yields at room temperature pentacarbonyl-fumaronitrile-chromium(0) (1), - molybdenum(0) (2), and -tungsten(0) (3). The complexes were purified by crystallization and characterized by IR and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. The fumaronitrile ligand is bonded to the M(CO)5 moiety by one nitrile nitrogen atom rather than by the carbon-carbon double bond. In toluene 2 dissociates into fumaronitrile and pentacarbonyl-molybdenum(0), which is stabi­lized by the solvent. Fumaronitrile and solvated pentacarbonyl-molybdenum(0) exist in solu­tion together with 2 in an equilibrium which lies in favour of the former species.

Pentacarbonyl(η2-tetracyanoethylene) metal(0) complexes of chromium, molybdenum and tung­sten have been synthesized by the photochemical reaction of hexacarbonyl metal(o) with tetra- cyanoethylene in toluene at room temperature. The complexes were purified by chromatography and recrystallization, and characterized by UV- visible, IR and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Tetra- cyanoethylene is symmetrically bonded to the M(CO)5 unit through its carbon-carbon double bond as an η2-ligand. The spectral data are dis­cussed in terms of the metal → ligand π inter­action.

Photolysis of hexacarbonyl metal(0) or tetracarbonyl-bis(1,3-butadiene)metal(0) (metal: chromium, molybdenum, tungsten) in the presence of tetracyanoethylene, TCNE, or fumaronitrile , FN, at room temperature yields fram-bis(μ2-tetracyano-ethylene)tetracarbonyl-chromium(0) (1), -molybdenum(0) (2), -tungsten(0) (3) and trans-bis(fumaronitrile)tetracarbonylchromium(0) (4), -tungsten(0) (5) complexes. The complexes were purified by chromatography and recrystallization and characterized by IR , 1H, 13C NMR and mass spectroscopies. It is shown that two tetracyanoethylene ligands are symmetrically bonded to the M(CO)4 moiety through their carbon-carbon double bond in the form of μ2 -TCNE . The two fumaronitrile ligands are bonded to the central atom through their nitrogen atoms. The spectral data are discussed in terms of metal → ligand π - interaction.

Ever since Habraken and Economopoulos first employed the term granular bainite to classify certain unconventional transformation products in continuously cooled steels, the term has been widely accepted and used, despite the lack of a clear consensus as to the detailed nature of the transformation products which constitute granular bainite. This paper presents the preliminary results of a TEM investigation of an 0.04 wt% C, copper-containing steel (designated HSLA-100). It is suggested that the term granular ferrite rather than granular bainite is a more accurate description of this multiphase reaction product.Figure 1 is a light micrograph of a sample which had been air-cooled from 900°C to room temperature. The microstructure is typical of that which has been termed granular bainite in the past and appears to consist of equiaxed ferritic grains together with other minor transformation products. In order to examine these structures in more detail, both continuously cooled and isothermally transformed and quenched materials have been examined with TEM. Granular bainite has been found in virtually all samples.

A photocatalytic system for the dearomative hydroarylation of benzene derivatives has been developed. Using a combination of an organic photoredox catalyst and an amine reductant, this process operates through a reductive radical-polar crossover mechanism where aryl halide reduction triggers a regioselective cyclization event, giving rise to a range of complex spirocyclic cyclohexadienes. This light-driven protocol functions at room temperature in a green solvent system (aq. MeCN), without the need for precious metal-based catalysts or reagents, or the generation of stoichiometric metal byproducts.

Aim and Objective: Pyrazolone sulfones have been reported to exhibit herbicidal and antibacterial activities. In spite of their good bioactivities, only a few methods have been developed to prepare pyrazolone sulfones. However, the substrate scope of these methods is limited. Moreover, the direct sulfonylation of pyrazolone by aryl sulfonyl chloride failed to give pyrazolone sulfones. Thus, developing a more efficient method to synthesize pyrazolone sulfones is very important. Materials and Method: Pyrazolone, aryl sulphonyl hydrazide, iodine, p-toluenesulphonic acid and water were mixed in a sealed tube, which was heated to 100°C for 12 hours. The mixture was cooled to 0°C and m-CPBA was added in batches. The mixture was allowed to stir for 30 min at room temperature. The crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography to afford sulfuryl pyrazolone. Results: In all cases, the sulfenylation products were formed smoothly under the optimized reaction conditions, and were then oxidized to the corresponding sulfones in good yields by 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (m-CPBA) in water. Single crystal X-ray analysis of pyrazolone sulfone 4aa showed that the major tautomer of pyrazolone sulfones was the amide form instead of the enol form observed for pyrazolone thioethers. Moreover, the C=N double bond isomerized to form an α,β-unsaturated C=C double bond. Conclusion: An efficient method to synthesize pyrazolone thioethers by iodine-catalyzed sulfenylation of pyrazolones with aryl sulfonyl hydrazides in water was developed. Moreover, this method was employed to synthesize pyrazolone sulfones in one-pot by subsequent sulfenylation and oxidation reactions.

While fluoroaryl fragments are ubiquitous in many pharmaceuticals, the deprotonation of fluoroarenes using organolithium bases constitutes an important challenge in polar organometallic chemistry. This has been widely attributed to the low stability of the in situ generated aryl lithium intermediates that even at –78 °C can undergo unwanted side reactions. Herein, pairing lithium amide LiHMDS (HMDS = N{SiMe3}2) with FeII(HMDS)2 enables the selective deprotonation at room temperature of pentafluorobenzene and 1,3,5-trifluorobenzene via the mixed-metal base [(dioxane)LiFe(HMDS)3] (1) (dioxane = 1,4-dioxane). Structural elucidation of the organometallic intermediates [(dioxane)Li(HMDS)2Fe(ArF)] (ArF = C6F5, 2; 1,3,5-F3-C6H2, 3) prior electrophilic interception demonstrates that these deprotonations are actually ferrations, with Fe occupying the position previously filled by a hydrogen atom. Notwithstanding, the presence of lithium is essential for the reactions to take place as Fe II (HMDS)2 on its own is completely inert towards the metallation of these substrates. Interestingly 2 and 3 are thermally stable and they do not undergo benzyne formation via LiF elimination.

Abstract4-Pyrones bearing electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups react with nonstabilized azomethine ylides to form pyrano[2,3-c]pyrrolidines in moderate to good yields. The reaction proceeds chemoselectively as a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the azomethine ylide at the carbon–carbon double bond of the pyrone activated by the electron-withdrawing substituent. The reactivity of 4-pyrones toward azomethine ylides was rationalized by computational studies with the use of reactivity indexes. The pyrano[2,3-c]pyrrolidine moiety could be modified, for example by a ring-opening transformation under the action of hydrazine to provide pyrazolyl-substituted pyrrolidines.
