In the presence of cupric oxide as the catalyst, ethyl cyanoacetate reacts with 1-alkenes to form 1 : 1 adducts in high yields. The active catalytic component was found to be a soluble copper species generated in the absence of oxygen in 10-3 to 10-5 M concentrations by a partial dissolution of cupric oxide in ethyl cyanoacetate. The homogeneous catalytic reaction proceeds already at temperatures about 80 °C at a fast rate and with high selectivity. Results of inhibition experiments in the presence of α-naphthol and galvinoxyl support strongly the view on a free-radical mechanism of the addition reaction.

A Keggin-type tungstocobaltate, [Co(2,2'- bipy)3]2H2[CoW12O40]?9.5H2O ([Co]CoW) and tetrabutylammonium salt of vanadium-substituted tungstophosphates [(n-C4H9)4N]4[PVW11O40], [(n-C4H9)4N]5[PV2W10O40] (PVW, PV2W) were used as catalyst for oxidation of cyclooctane with H2O2 as oxidant in acetonitrile. The activity of [(n-C4H9)4N4H[PCo(H2O)W11O39]?2H2O (PCoW) was also compared. The products of the reaction were cyclooctanone, cyclooctanol and cyclooctyl hydroperoxide. The experimental results showed that at H2O2/cyclooctane molar ratio = 3 at 80?C, in 9 h the [Co]CoW yielded higher conversion and selectivity to cyclooctanone. The V-based catalysts are more active than the Co-based tungstophosphate. The PV2W gave rise to high selectivity to cyclooctyl hydroperoxide. Cyclooctane conversion was increased by increasing reaction time or H2O2/cyclooctane molar ratio. In the presence of tungstocobaltate catalyst, 88% cyclooctane conversion and 82% selectivity of cyclooctanone were obtained after 12 h using H2O2/cyclooctane molar ratio of 9. This catalyst is stable upon treatment with H2O2. Experiments with radical traps suggest the involvement of a free-radical mechanism.

Cobalt(II) chloride catalyzed oxidation of 2-substituted 1,3-dioxolanes in 1,2-dimethoxyethane afforded formate esters and acids in high yields. It was found that the presence of catalytic amounts of ZnCl2 increased the rate of oxidation. A free-radical mechanism is proposed, involving participation of superoxocobalt, and the esterification of the alcohol and acid.

A series of 2-deoxy-2-iodo-α-d-mannopyranosylbenzotriazoles was synthesized using the benzyl, 4,6-benzylidene and acetyl protected D-glucal in the presence of N-iodosuccinimide (NIS). Subsequent removal of the iodine at the C-2 position using tributyltin hydride under free radical conditions afforded the 2-deoxy-α-d-glucopyranosylbenzotriazoles in moderate to high yields. This method was extended to the preparation of substituted 2-deoxy-β-d-glucopyranosylimidazoles as well. The stereoselectivity of the addition reaction and the effect of the protecting group and temperature on anomer distribution of the benzotriazole series were also investigated. The anticancer properties of the newly synthesized compounds were evaluated in a series of viability studies using HeLa (human cervical adenocarcinoma), human breast and lung cancer cell lines. The N-[3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-α-d-glucopyranosyl]-1H-benzotriazole and the N-[3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-α-d-glucopyranosyl]-2H-benzotriazole were found to be the most potent cancer cell inhibitors at 20 µM concentrations across all four cell lines.

Phospha-Michael addition, which is the addition reaction of a phosphorus-based nucleophile to an acceptor-substituted unsaturated bond, certainly represents one of the most versatile and powerful tools for the formation of P-C bonds, since many different electrophiles and P nucleophiles can be combined with each other. This offers the possibility to access many diversely functionalized products. In this work, two kinds of basic pyridine-based organo-catalysts were used to efficiently catalyze phospha-Michael addition reactions, the 4-N,N-dimethylaminopyridinium saccharinate (DMAP·Hsac) salt and a fluorous long-chained pyridine (4-Rf-CH2OCH2-py, where Rf = C11F23). These catalysts have been synthesized and characterized by Lu’s group. The phospha-Michael addition of diisopropyl, dimethyl or triethyl phosphites to α, β-unsaturated malonates in the presence of those catalysts showed very good reactivity with high yield at 80–100 °C in 1–4.5 h with high catalytic recovery and reusability. With regard to significant catalytic recovery, sometimes more than eight cycles were observed for DMAP·Hsac adduct by using non-polar solvents (e.g., ether) to precipitate out the catalyst. In the case of the fluorous long-chained pyridine, the thermomorphic method was used to efficiently recover the catalyst for eight cycles in all the reactions. Thus, the easy separation of the catalysts from the products revealed the outstanding efficacy of our systems. To our knowledge, these are good examples of the application of recoverable organo-catalysts to the DMAP·Hsac adduct by using non-polar solvent and a fluorous long-chained pyridine under the thermomorphic mode in phospha-Michael addition reactions.

Addition reactions of multi-functional amine, polyethylene imine (PEI) or diethylenetriamine (DETA), and poly(ethylene glycol) diglycidyl ether (PEGDE) or poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA), have been investigated to obtain network polymers in H2O, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and ethanol (EtOH). Ring opening addition reaction of the multi-functional amine and PEGDE in H2O at room temperature or in DMSO at 90 °C using triphenylphosphine as a catalyst yielded gels. Aza-Michael addition reaction of the multi-functional amine and PEGDA in DMSO or EtOH at room temperature also yielded corresponding gels. Compression test of the gels obtained with PEI showed higher Young’s modulus than those with DETA. The reactions of the multi-functional amine and low molecular weight PEGDA in EtOH under the specific conditions yielded porous polymers induced by phase separation during the network formation. The morphology of the porous polymers could be controlled by the reaction conditions, especially monomer concentration and feed ratio of the multi-functional amine to PEGDA of the reaction system. The porous structure was formed by connected spheres or a co-continuous monolithic structure. The porous polymers were unbreakable by compression, and their Young’s modulus increased with the increase in the monomer concentration of the reaction systems. The porous polymers absorbed various solvents derived from high affinity between the polyethylene glycol units in the network structure and the solvents.

AbstractThiazolidine-2-thiones were prepared via a novel multicomponent reaction of primary amines (amino acids), carbon disulfide, and γ-bromocrotonates. The reaction proceeds via a domino alkylation/intramolecular Michael addition to provide the corresponding thiazolidine-2-thiones in high to excellent yields. By using diamines in this protocol, bis(thiazolidine-2-thiones) derivatives were synthesized. The synthetic utility of the adducts was demonstrated by hydrolysis, amidation, and oxidation reactions.
