The diastereoselective intramolecular Diels–Alder reactions of the furan diene (IMDAF), in which the side arm comprises four carbon atoms and is substituted by a methyl group adjacent to, or one carbon removed from, the furan ring, are described. Adducts are formed in moderate to excellent yields when treated with either Florisil in methylene chloride at room temperature or methylaluminum dichloride in methylene chloride at −78 °C. Florisil is most effective for substrates containing unsubstituted dienophiles. An equimolar quantity (1.1 equivalents) of methylaluminum dichloride is most effective for precursors having methacrolein-type dienophiles, while a catalytic quantity (0.1 equivalent) is effective for crotonaldehyde-type dienophiles. Only the adducts with the side arm orientated syn with respect to the oxygen bridge are detected and isolated. The major diastereomer is the one in which the methyl group (initially on the side arm) is situated equatorially on the newly formed six-membered ring. An application of the diastereoselective IMDAF reaction to the synthesis of (±)-1,4-epoxycadinane is described, beginning with 2-methylfuran.

Abstract The stereochemistry of the photo reaction products of tricarbonyl-η-6,6-dimethyl-fulvene-chromium(O) (1) with 7-methyl-and 7-methoxycycloheptatriene was studied by NMR-spectroscopy. Both trienes add to 1, displace a CO ligand, and form substituted dicarbonyl-η3-2-cycloheptadienylene-η5-2-cyclopentadienylidene-propane-chromium(0) complexes. With C7H7CH3 only one isomer (3) is formed with the methyl-group in endo-position and the enyl system encompassing C(1′)-C(3′) of the seven membered ring. C7H7OCH3 yields 3 isomers which were separated by column chromatography. 5 has the same constitution as 3. The isomers 4 and 5 bear the OCH3-group in e^o-position. The enyl system of 4 is located on C(1′)-C(3′), that of 6 on C(3′)-C(5′). 6 rearranges at room temperature to 4.

Abstract By 1H NMR spectroscopy the stereochemistry of the 1-methyl-1-benzothiepinium ring system was investigated both in thermodynamic and kinetic respects. It was shown that in solution a rapid mutual conversion of the boat shaped seven membered ring system with exo-respectively endo-S-methyl group occurs via a ring inversion and not by a pyramidal inversion at the sulfonium ion. At room temperature predominantly the conformation with the exo-S-methyl group is present.

The p-TsOH-catalyzed Diels–Alder reaction of 3-(indol-3-yl)maleimides with chalcone in toluene at 60 °C afforded two diastereoisomers of tetrahydropyrrolo[3,4-c]carbazoles, which can be dehydrogenated by DDQ oxidation in acetonitrile at room temperature to give the aromatized pyrrolo[3,4-c]carbazoles in high yields. On the other hand, the one-pot reaction of 3-(indol-3-yl)-1,3-diphenylpropan-1-ones with chalcones or benzylideneacetone in acetonitrile in the presence of p-TsOH and DDQ resulted in polyfunctionalized carbazoles in satisfactory yields. The reaction mechanism included the DDQ oxidative dehydrogenation of 3-(indol-3-yl)-1,3-diphenylpropan-1-ones to the corresponding 3-vinylindoles, their acid-catalyzed Diels–Alder reaction and sequential aromatization process.

Abstract The influence of α- and o-methyl substituents on the conformation of phenylcyclopropane is studied. Synthesis as well as low temperature PMR studies of the corresponding derivatives are carried out. The changes in the PMR spectra measured at room temperature and -100 °C are too small to count for the rotation barrier calculations. Fo 2,2-dichloro-1-phenyl-cyclopropane (8) ,2,2-dichloro-1-methyl-1-phenyl-cyclopropane (9) and 2,2-dichloro-1-o-tolyl-cyclopropane(10) the predicted most stable conformation is the near-bisected in which the aromatic ring is slightly twisted towards the CI atoms. For 2,2-dichloro-1-(2,6-dimethyl-phenyl)-cyclopropane (11) the planar conformation is predicted to be most stable. MINDO/3-FORCES calculations of the conformations and rotation barriers of similarly methylsubstituted vinyl-cyclopropanes, phenylcyclopropane and 2-cyclopropyl-pyridine are reported. It is found that introducing a methyl group to the a-position of the three membered ring or to the C4 atom f the vinylgroup causes the deviation of the olefine plane from the bisected conformation by 30°. Similar deviations are expected for the α-and o-methyl-phenylcyclopropanes.

<p>Three novel lanthanide metal˗organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs), namely MOF-590, -591, and -592 were constructed from a naphthalene diimide tetracarboxylic acid. Gas adsorption measurements of MOF-591 and -592 revealed good adsorption of CO<sub>2</sub> (low pressure, at room temperature) and moderate CO<sub>2</sub> selectivity over N<sub>2</sub> and CH<sub>4</sub>. Accordingly, breakthrough measurements were performed on a representative MOF-592, in which the separation of CO<sub>2</sub> from binary mixture containing N<sub>2</sub> and CO<sub>2</sub> was demonstrated without any loss in performance over three consecutive cycles. Moreover, MOF-590, MOF-591, and MOF-592 exhibited catalytic activity in the one-pot synthesis of styrene carbonate from styrene and CO<sub>2</sub> under mild conditions (1 atm CO<sub>2</sub>, 80 °C, and solvent-free). Among the new materials, MOF-590 revealed a remarkable efficiency with exceptional conversion (96%), selectivity (95%), and yield (91%). </p><br>

This work reports density functional and composite model chemistry calculations performed on the reactions of toluene with the hydroxyl radical. Both experimentally observed H-abstraction from the methyl group and possible additions to the phenyl ring were investigated. Reaction enthalpies and heights of the barriers suggest that H-abstraction is more favorable than ●OH addition to the ring. The calculated reaction rates at room temperature and the radical-intermediate product fractions support this view. This is somehow contradictory with the fact that, under most experimental conditions, cresols are observed in a larger concentration than benzaldehyde. Since the accepted mechanism for benzaldehyde formation involves H-abstraction, a contradiction arises that begs for an explanation. In this first part of our work we give the evidences that support the preference of hydrogen abstraction over ●OH addition and suggest an alternative mechanism which shows that cresols can actually arise also from the former reaction and not only from the latter.

The phospha-Brook rearrangement of dialkyl 1-aryl-1-hydroxymethylphosphonates (HPs) to the corresponding benzyl phosphates (BPs) has been elaborated under solid-liquid phase transfer catalytic conditions. The best procedure involved the use of triethylbenzylammonium chloride as the catalyst and Cs2CO3 as the base in acetonitrile as the solvent at room temperature. The substrate dependence of the rearrangement has been studied, and the mechanism of the transformation under discussion was explored by quantum chemical calculations. The key intermediate is an oxaphosphirane. The one-pot version starting with the Pudovik reaction has also been developed. The conditions of this tandem transformation were the same, as those for the one-step HP→BP conversion.

Copper ferrite (CuFe2O4) magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were synthesized via thermal decomposition method and applied as a reusable and green catalyst in the synthesis of functionalized 4H-pyran derivatives using malononitrile, an aromatic aldehyde and a β-ketoester in ethanol at room temperature. Then it was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images, thermo gravimetric and differential thermo gravimetric (TGA/DTG) analysis. The catalyst was recovered from the reaction mixture by applying an external magnet and decanting the mixture. Recycled catalyst was reused for several times without significant loss in its activity. Running the one-pot three-component reaction at room temperature, no use of eternal energy source and using a green solvent provide benign, mild, and environmentally friendly reaction conditions; as well, ease of catalyst recovering, catalyst recyclability, no use of column chromatography and good to excellent yields are extra advantages of this work.
