Palladium-catalyzed arylation of malonates and cyanoesters using sterically hindered trialkyl- and ferrocenyldialkylphosphine ligands.

Palladium-catalyzed reactions of aryl bromides and chlorides with two common stabilized carbanions-enolates of dialkyl malonates and alkyl cyanoesters-are reported. An exploration of the scope of these reactions was conducted, and the processes were shown to occur in a general fashion. Using P(t-Bu)(3) (1), the pentaphenylferrocenyl ligand (Ph(5)C(5))Fe(C(5)H(4))P(t-Bu)(2) (2), or the adamantyl ligand (1-Ad)P(t-Bu)(2) (3), reactions of electron-poor and electron-rich, sterically hindered and unhindered aryl bromides and chlorides were shown to react with diethyl malonate, di-tert-butyl malonate, diethyl fluoromalonate, ethyl cyanoacetate, and ethyl phenylcyanoacetate. Although alkyl malonates and ethyl alkylcyanoacetates did not react with aryl halides using these catalysts, the same products were formed conveniently in one pot from diethylmalonate by cross-coupling of an aryl halide in the presence of excess base and subsequent alkylation.

Acetonitrile derivatives as carbonyl synthons. One-pot preparation of diheteroaryl ketones via a strategy of sequential SNAr substitution and oxidation.

The anion of 2-aryl acetonitrile derivatives reacted with a variety of heteroaryl chlorides or bromides in an S(N)Ar manifold to afford intermediate anions which were susceptible to oxidation. The addition of sodium peroxide and aqueous NH(4)OAc solution effected oxidation to afford aryl heteroaryl ketones in good yields. Aryl acetonitrile derivatives are thus umpolung-type synthons of the corresponding aryl carbonyl functionality.

Cross-coupling of alkynylsilanols with aryl halides promoted by potassium trimethylsilanolate.

The palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of aliphatic alkynylsilanols with aryl iodides has been demonstrated with potassium trimethylsilanolate as the coupling promoter and copper(I) iodide as a cocatalyst. The cross-coupling proceeds at room temperature in good to excellent yield with a range of aryl iodides. A comparison of the reactivity of alkynylsilanols, trimethylsilylalkynes, and terminal alkynes under fluoride and fluoride-free conditions was performed to elucidate the role of silicon in the Sonogashira reaction.

Base-promoted reactions of bridged ketones and 1,3- and 1,4-haloalkyl azides: competitive alkylation vs azidation reactions of ketone enolates.

The reactions of 1,3- and 1,4-haloalkyl azides with enolates of 2-norbornanone (and a ring-expanded analog) afford polycyclic 1,2,3-triazolines in good yields. The reaction occurs by the initial azidation of the ketone enolate, followed in order by triazoline formation and O-alkylation. An interesting element of this process is the preferential reaction of the alkyl azide with an enolate anion as opposed to the more familiar reaction of the alkyl halide (including Cl and I derivatives). Reactions of acyclic or monocyclic enolates generally lead to 1,2,3-triazoles but none of the alternative C-alkylation product.

Alkylation↗

Halogen- and N-haloimide-promoted homo- and heterocoupling of alpha-(N-carbamoyl)alkylcuprates and alpha-(alkoxy)alkylcuprates.

Both homo- and mixed lithium di-alpha-(heteroatom)alkylcuprates readily dimerize upon addition of halogens (e.g., I(2), Br(2)) or N-halosuccinimides to afford the coupled products in excellent yields. Higher yields result when the requisite alpha-(heteroatom)alkyllithium reagents are generated via deprotonation rather than by transmetalation of the corresponding stannanes. Mixed lithium dialkyl- or alkyl(aryl)cuprate reagents containing one alpha-(heteroatom)alkyl ligand and one simple alkyl or aryl ligand give significantly lower yields of coupled product. Low enantioselectivity has been achieved in the oxidative coupling of lithium (n-Bu)(2-pyrrolidinyl)cuprate.

Palladium(0)-catalyzed suzuki-miyaura cross-coupling reactions of potassium aryl- and heteroaryltrifluoroborates with alkenyl bromides.

Efficient palladium(0)-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings are described. The reactions involving potassium aryl- and heteroaryltrifluoroborates with alkenyl bromides can generally be carried out using < or =2 mol % of palladium catalyst and 3 equiv of base in toluene/H2O. When stereodefined alkenyl bromides are employed, the resulting styrene derivatives are accessed stereospecifically. A variety of functional groups are tolerated in both coupling partners.

Relative permittivity of polar liquids. Comparison of theory, experiment, and simulation.

A molecular-based second-order perturbation theory is applied to calculate the relative permittivity of polar liquids. Our basic model is the dipolar hard sphere fluid. The main purpose of this work is to propose various approaches to take into account the molecular polarizability. In the continuum approach, we apply the Kirkwood-Fröhlich equation and use the high-frequency relative permittivity. The Kirkwood g-factor representing molecular correlations is calculated by a perturbation theory. In the molecular approach, the molecular polarizability is built into the model on the molecular level (the polarizable dipolar hard sphere fluid). To calculate the relative permittivity of this system, an equation obtained from a renormalization procedure is used. In both approaches, we apply a series expansion for the relative permittivity and show that these series expansions give results in better agreement with simulation data than the original equations. After testing our theoretical equations against our own Monte Carlo simulation results, we compare the results obtained from our theoretical equations and simulations to experimental data for amines, ethers, and halogenated, sulfur, and hydroxy compounds. We propose a procedure to calculate potential parameters (hard sphere diameter, reduced polarizability, and reduced dipole moment) from experimental data such as the permanent dipole moment, refractive index, density, and temperature. We show that for compounds of low relative permittivity the polarizable dipolar hard sphere (PDHS) model and the continuum approach give reasonable results. For nonassociative liquids of higher relative permittivity, the PDHS model overestimates experimental data due to unsatisfactory representation of the shape of the molecules. In the case of associative liquids, the PDHS model works well, and in some cases it underestimates the experimental values due to the unsatisfactory treatment of electrostatic interactions.

Palladium-catalyzed synthesis of arylamines from aryl halides and lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide as an ammonia equivalent.

[reaction: see text]. A simple, palladium-catalyzed method to convert aryl halides to the parent anilines using lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (LiN(SiMe3)2) is reported. The reaction is catalyzed by Pd(dba)2 and P(t-Bu)3 and can be run with as little as 0.2 mol % of catalyst. The reaction is faster than competing generation of benzyne intermediates and, therefore, provides the aniline products regiospecifically.

Ultrafast electron diffraction and direct observation of transient structures in a chemical reaction.

Ultrafast electron diffraction is a unique method for the studies of structural changes of complex molecular systems. In this contribution, we report direct ultrafast electron diffraction study of the evolution of short-lived intermediates in the course of a chemical change. Specifically, we observe the transient intermediate in the elimination reaction of 1,2-diiodotetrafluoroethane (C2F4I2) to produce the corresponding ethylene derivative by the breakage of two carbon-iodine, C---I, bonds. The evolution of the ground-state intermediate (C2F4I radical) is directly revealed in the population change of a single chemical bond, namely the second C---I bond. The elimination of two iodine atoms was shown to be nonconcerted, with reaction time of the second C---I bond breakage being 17 +/- 2 ps. The structure of the short-lived C2F4I radical is more favorable to the classical radical structure than to the bridged radical structure. This leap in our ability to record structural changes on the ps and shorter time scales bodes well for many future applications in complex molecular systems.

Chemically induced mammary gland cancer in the National Toxicology Program's carcinogenesis bioassay.

Incidences of breast cancer change in populations as people migrate from one area of the world to another, suggesting that environmental factors contribute to this disease. There is a continuing effort to identify these environmental factors and the role that exposures to specific chemicals play in this disease. Results from experimental studies show that chemicals identified to cause mammary gland cancer in rodents are frequently mutagenic chemicals, suggesting that genetic damage is an important mechanism for the induction of this cancer. Prevalent classes of chemicals that were identified to cause mammary gland cancer in rodents in studies by the National Toxicology Program include halogenated hydrocarbons, aromatic amino/nitro compounds and epoxide-forming chemicals. Results from these experimental studies will help to elucidate mechanisms and possible causes of breast cancer in humans.
