Dinuclear rhodium(I) complex [{RhI(cod)}2(μ-OC6H4-2-Me)2] (1), exhibits the syn-anti isomerism consisting in the orientation of methyl groups of the bridge ligands with respect to the plane or distorted plane involving Rh and O atoms. The syn isomer predominates in CDCl3 solution (above 90%) at room temperature. EXSY 1H NMR measurements showed that, in CDCl3 solution, complex 1 undergoes at least two independent dynamic processes differing substantially in values of activation parameters: (i) rotation of 2-methylphenyl rings in bridge ligands along the O-C axis, and (ii) formal rotation of cod ligands along the Rh-cod axes, which proves fluxional behavior of cod ligand in RhI(cod) complexes.

The bromonium ion of adamantylideneadamantane (Ad=Ad-Br+) has been used to induce the bromocyclization of a 4-pentenyl glycoside (10) and a 5-hexenyl glycoside (11) in dichloroethane. The kinetics of these processes have been studied at 25 °C in the presence of varying [Ad=Ad] and, in the case of the transfer to 10, in the presence of pentanol. The second-order rate constants for bromocyclization of these two alkenes are (1.04 ± 0.06) × 10−1 M−1 s−1 and (5.34 ± 0.2) × 10−1 M−1 s−1, respectively, and in no case does added Ad=Ad or pentanol alter the reaction rate. The kinetic behavior is interpreted in terms of cyclization occurring directly from a 1:1 complex of Ad=Ad-Br+ and 10 or 11. The chiral induction for the bromocyclization of 10 promoted by AdAd-Br+ was measured at 20% e.e., the (−)-(S)-tetrahydrofurfuryl bromide being the dominant stereoisomer. Ad=Ad molecules substituted at one of the homoallylic carbons by an axial methyl group (12), or by two methyl groups (axial and equatorial), were synthesized and the 1H NMR spectra of their bromonium ions is given. These materials are not stable for prolonged times at room temperature. A limited kinetic study of the reaction of 12-Br+ and 4-pentenol indicated that the Br+ transfer is 500 times faster than the comparable transfer from Ad=Ad-Br+ to 4-pentenol. The possibility of using these materials to induce chiral bromocyclization is discussed. Keywords: bromonium ion, halonium, transfer, chiral, adamantylideneadamantane.

The insertion of isonitriles R' NC (R' = t-Bu, C6H11, CH2C6H5) occurs exclusively into the Ta—CH2 bonds of the zwitterionic compounds (C5H4R)2Ta[CH2B(C6F5)3]CH3 (R = H, 1a; R = CH3, 1b) at relatively slow rates at room temperature to form N-out isomers as the sole kinetic products. By comparison, insertion of the same isonitrile substrates into a Ta—CH3 bond of the non-zwitterionic analogs [(C5H4R)2Ta(CH3)2][A] (R = H, A = B(C6F5)4, 3a; R = CH3, A = BF4, 3b) occurs much more rapidly, again to form N-out isomers exclusively under kinetic conditions. The difference in rate is attributed to the presence of a ground state α-agostic interaction in the zwitterionic compounds, which is not featured in the dimethyl ion pairs. All of the N-out isomers formed undergo thermal and irreversible conversion to the corresponding N-in isomers at rates that are conveniently followed by 1H NMR spectroscopy. The rates were studied at different temperatures to obtain activation parameters for each transformation. The rate and activation trends for this isomerization were analyzed as a function of the structural changes in the compounds. It was found that the rate decreased as the steric bulk of the isonitrile substitutent R' increased and that the rates were faster for the series that incorporated the more electron-donating C5H4CH3 ancillary ligand. Furthermore, isomerization rates for the zwitterionic N-out compounds were faster than those found in the non-zwitterionic series. This study represents one of the more extensive kinetic analyses of the rate of N-out to N-in isomerization as a function of structural changes. The observations are consistent with the mechanistic picture that has been developed for this process, involving dissociation of the η2 iminoacyl ligand, rotation about the M—Ciminoacyl bond and recoordination to the inside site of the metallocene wedge. Key words: cationic metallocenes, isocyanide insertion, agostic interactions, tantalum.

Poly(dichlorophosphazene) was prepared by melt ring-opening polymerization of the hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene. Poly[bis(2-hydroxyethyl-methacrylate)-phosphazene] and poly[(2-hydroxyethyl-methacrylate)-graft-poly(lactic-acid)-phosphazene] were obtained by nucleophilic condensation reactions at different concentrations of the substituents. The properties of the synthesized copolymers were assessed by FTIR,1H-NMR and31P-NMR, thermal analysis (DSC-TGA), and electron microscopy (SEM). The copolymers have a block structure and show twoTg's below room temperature. They are stable up to a temperature of 100°C. The type of the substituents attached to the PZ backbone determines the morphology of the polymers.

In this study, soda alkali lignin from oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB-AL) and kenaf core (KC-AL) are esterified with maleic anhydride under two different conditions, namely i) pyridine at temperature of 120°C for 3h and ii) aqueous alkaline solution at room temperature for 4h. As a result, the weight percentage gain (WPG) of the esterified EFB-AL (EFB-EL) and esterified KC-AL (KC-EL) in pyridine demonstrated a higher compared to aqueous alkaline solution. The FT-IR results of EFB-EL and KC-EL in both solvents exhibited some changes at the carbonyl and hydroxyl groups. Furthermore, the esterification process induced the carboxylic peak to appear in both alkali lignin samples. The outcome is confirmed by conducting H-NMR analysis, which demonstrated ester and carboxylic acid peaks within the spectral analysis. Finally, the TGA results showed both EFB-EL and KC-EL that are exposed to aqueous alkaline actually possessed better thermal stability and higher activation energy (Ea) compared to the esterified samples in pyridine.

<p>Nucleophilic substitution on hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene (HCCTP) with allylamine in order to give hexa(allylamino)cyclotriphosphazene (HACTP)  is performed for the first time under mild conditions by using diethylether as solvent to replace benzene which is very toxic. The reaction time is reduced to half and also performed at room temperature but especially in the presence of an eco-catalyst called Maghnite-H<sup>+</sup>. This catalyst has a significant role in the industrial scale. In fact, the use of Maghnite is preferred for its many advantages: a very low purchase price compared to other catalysts, the easy removal of the reaction mixture. Then, Maghnite-H<sup>+</sup> is became an excellent catalyst for many chemical reactions. The structure of HACTP synthesized in the presence of Maghnite-H<sup>+</sup> to 5% by weight is confirmed by <sup>1</sup>H-NMR, <sup>13</sup>C-NMR, <sup>31</sup>P-NMR (Nuclear magnetic resonance) and FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy). MALDI-TOF (Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionisation-time-of-flight mass spectrometry) is used to establish the molecular weight of HACTP which is 471 g/mol. DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetery) and TGA (Thermogravimetric Analysis) show that HACTP is a crystalline product with a melting point of 88 °C. It is reactive after melting but is degraded from 230 °C. Copyright © 2016 BCREC GROUP.

Three "basket handle" porphyrins have been prepared by condensation of tetrakis-(α,β,α,β-2-aminophenyl)porphyrin atropoisomer with 1,1′-binaphthyl, 2,2′-dimethoxy, -3,3′-dicarbonylchloride, -3,3′-diacetylchloride and -3,3′-dipropanoylchloride. The epoxidation of styrene with the three iron catalysts, obtained after metalation of the free porphyrins, occurs with good yields and moderate ee up to 54%. These porphyrins showed unexpected conformational differences, as revealed by NMR spectroscopy. In particular, variable temperature NMR studies showed that the methoxy group in one of them undergoes intermediate conformational exchange on the 1H NMR time scale at room temperature. Lowering the temperature to -50 °C revealed the presence of four states in slow exchange on the NMR time scale. These results evidence a dynamic conformational equilibrium of the binaphthyl handles that adopt different, asymmetric positions with respect to the porphyrin plane.

Heterocyclic cage compounds of type I (compounds 8-10) have been prepared by condensation reactions of 1,2,2-trifunctional disilanes Me(R)XSiSiMeX2 (R = Me, Ph, OEt; X = NMe2, OEt) with triethanolamine using the “Dilution Principle”. The starting compounds are obtained by Si-Me cleavage of Si2Me6 with acetylchloride/AlCl3 followed by either aminolysis with HNMe2 or alcoholysis with EtOH. 1H NMR spectra indicate N→Si(1) intraction with the more acidic Si atom in 8 and 9. This result is proved by the X-ray structure analysis of 8 (monoclinic, P21/c; a = 7,088(2), b = 15,070(4), c = 12,701(4) Å, β = 104,96(2) at -130 °C, Z = 4); the Si(1)···N distance is found to be 2,768 Å , connected with a significant angular distortion of the tetrahedral coordination around Si(1) towards a trigonal bipyramid. In compound 10, too, N→Si(1) coordination is observed at room temperature in spite of almost equal acidity for both Si atoms. This can be explained by the preference of 5- over 6-membered chelating ring systems. At higher temperatures the 1H NMR spectra show a fluctuation of the N-donor between the two Si centres.

A series of syn-[3.3]metacyclophanes (MCPs) containing internal substituted benzyloxy group have been synthesized by the modified TosMIC coupling reaction followed by acid treatment and Wolff–Kishner reduction. anti-Mono- and di-benzyloxy[3.3]MCPs are synthesized by O-benzylation of the corresponding hydroxy[3.3]MCPs, which are obtained by demethylation of methoxy[3.3]MCPs with BBr3 at room temperature. An interesting and intriguing result was obtained when syn-6,15-di-tert-butyl-9-methoxy-18-methyl[3.3]MCP-2,11-dione was treated with TMSI to afford the formation of a dihydrobenzofuran ring by a nucleophilic intramolecular cyclization reaction. The 1H NMR and X-ray analysis of 6a confirms that it adopts a syn (chair–chair) conformation in both solution and solid state.
