RESUMO
The salt elimination reactions of [NEt4][Mo(CSe)(CO)2(Tp*)] ([NEt4][2], Tp* = hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)borate) with a range of metal halide complexes (ClMLn) have been investigated as a possible route to isoselenocarbonyl complexes [Mo(CSeMLn)(CO)2(Tp*)]. Thus the reactions of [NEt4][2] with [RuCl(L)2(η-C5R5)] provide molybdenum-ruthenium derivatives [Mo{CSeRu(L)2(η-C5R5)}(CO)2(Tp*)] (L = PPh3, R = H 4, L = CO, R = Me 5), both of which were structurally characterised. The molybdenum-iron derivative [Mo{CSeFe(CO)2(η-C5H5)}(CO)2(Tp*)] (6) was obtained from [NEt4][2] and [FeCl(CO)2(η-C5H5)] however its formulation currently rests on spectroscopic and microanalytical data. The reaction of [NEt4][2] with [RuH(NCMe)(CO)2(PPh3)2]PF6 affords the structurally characterised hydrido-isoselenocarbonyl complex [Mo{CSeRuH(CO)2(PPh3)2}(CO)2(Tp*)] (7) with no indication of coupling of the hydride and selenocarbonyl ligand.
RESUMO
The trans-hydroboration of terminal alkynes mediated by borenium cations [NHC(9-BBN)]+ (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene, 9-BBN = 9-borabicyclo(3.3.1)nonane) exclusively affords Z-vinylboranes. NHCs and chelating dialkyl substituents on the borenium cation and "non"-basic anions were essential to preclude alternative reactions including dehydroboration. Deuterium labelling studies indicate the mechanism involves addition of the boron electrophile to the alkyne and transfer of hydride to the opposite face of the activated alkyne. trans-Hydroboration proceeds with only catalytic amounts of B(C6F5)3 or [Ph3C][B(C6F5)4] to activate the (NHC)9-BBN(H) precursor with the borenium regenerated in the hydride transfer step. The NHC can be removed from the trans-hydroborated products by the addition of Et2O-BF3 providing access to vinylBBN species effective for Suzuki-Miyaura couplings to generate Z-alkenes. Combinations of catalytic B(C6F5)3 and stoichiometric [HB(C6F5)3]- also lead to trans-hydroboration of terminal alkynes to form Z-isomers of [arylCH[double bond, length as m-dash]CHB(C6F5)3]-.
RESUMO
We report the isolation and detailed structural characterization, by solid-state and solution NMR spectroscopy, of the neutral mono- and bis-NHC adducts of bis(catecholato)diboron (B2 cat2 ). The bis-NHC adduct undergoes thermally induced rearrangement, forming a six-membered -B-C=N-C=C-N-heterocyclic ring via C-N bond cleavage and ring expansion of the NHC, whereas the mono-NHC adduct is stable. Bis(neopentylglycolato)diboron (B2 neop2 ) is much more reactive than B2 cat2 giving a ring expanded product at room temperature, demonstrating that ring expansion of NHCs can be a very facile process with significant implications for their use in catalysis.
RESUMO
The reaction of 8-(trimethylsiloxy)quinoline (QOTMS) with BCl3 and (aryl)BCl2 forms QOBCl2 and QOBCl(aryl). The subsequent addition of stoichiometric AlCl3 follows one of two paths, dependent on the steric demands of the QO ligand and the electrophilicity of the resulting borenium cation. The phenyl- and 5-hexylthienylborenium cations, QOBPh(+) and QOBTh(+), are formed, whereas QOBCl(+) is not. Instead, AlCl3 preferentially binds with QOBCl2 at oxygen, forming QOBCl2 â AlCl3, rather than abstracting chloride. A modest increase in the steric demands around oxygen, by installing a methyl group at the 7-position of the quinolato ligand, switches the reactivity with AlCl3 back to chloride abstraction, allowing formation of Me 2QOBCl(+). All the prepared borenium cations are highly chlorophilic and exhibit significant interaction with AlCl4(-) resulting in an equilibrium concentration of Lewis acidic "AlCl3" species. The presence of "AlCl3(") species limits the alkyne substrates compatible with these borenium systems, with reaction of [QOBPh][AlCl4 ] with 1-pentyne exclusively yielding the cyclotrimerised product, 1,3,5-tripropylbenzene. In contrast, QOBPh(+) and QOBTh(+) systems effect the syn-1,2-carboboration of 3-hexyne. DFT calculations at the M06-2X/6-311G(d,p)/PCM(DCM) level confirm that the higher migratory aptitude of Ph versus Me leads to a lower barrier to 1,2-carboboration relative to 1,1-carboboration.
RESUMO
Synthetically straightforward conditions have been developed for the preparation of poly(bis 2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)phosphazene with low PDI (<1.15) at high conversion (75-99%) and on a multigram scale. A combination of 31P NMR and GPC analyses demonstrate that molecular weight increases linearly as a function of monomer consumption, exhibiting first order kinetics with respect to monomer concentration up to high monomer conversion. Thus, the molecular weight can be controlled by varying the initiator (H2O) to monomer ratio.
RESUMO
Hail boration! 2-Dimethylaminopyridine-ligated dihaloborocations [X2B(2-DMAP)](+) with a strained four-membered boracycle were used for the haloboration of terminal and dialkyl internal alkynes (see scheme). Esterification then provided vinyl boronate esters as useful precursors to tetrasubstituted alkenes. Following mechanistic studies, the scope of the haloboration was expanded simply by variation of the amine. Pin = 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-butanedioxy.
RESUMO
Direct electrophilic borylation using Y(2)BCl (Y(2) = Cl(2) or o-catecholato) with equimolar AlCl(3) and a tertiary amine has been applied to a wide range of arenes and heteroarenes. In situ functionalization of the ArBCl(2) products is possible with TMS(2)MIDA, to afford bench-stable and easily isolable MIDA-boronates in moderate to good yields. According to a combined experimental and computational study, the borylation of activated arenes at 20 °C proceeds through an S(E)Ar mechanism with borenium cations, [Y(2)B(amine)](+), the key electrophiles. For catecholato-borocations, two amine dependent reaction pathways were identified: (i) With [CatB(NEt(3))](+), an additional base is necessary to accomplish rapid borylation by deprotonation of the borylated arenium cation (σ complex), which otherwise would rather decompose to the starting materials than liberate the free amine to effect deprotonation. Apart from amines, the additional base may also be the arene itself when it is sufficiently basic (e.g., N-Me-indole). (ii) When the amine component of the borocation is less nucleophilic (e.g., 2,6-lutidine), no additional base is required due to more facile amine dissociation from the boron center in the borylated arenium cation intermediate. Borenium cations do not borylate poorly activated arenes (e.g., toluene) even at high temperatures; instead, the key electrophile in this case involves the product from interaction of AlCl(3) with Y(2)BCl. When an extremely bulky amine is used, borylation again does not proceed via a borenium cation; instead, a number of mechanisms are feasible including via a boron electrophile generated by coordination of AlCl(3) to Y(2)BCl, or by initial (heteroarene)AlCl(3) adduct formation followed by deprotonation and transmetalation.

Opening and closing a chemical window: oxidation of the etheno-bridged [4.3.1]propelladienol 1 with pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) affords oxa[5.6.5.6]fenestratetraene 2. The reduction of 2 with diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAl-H) leads to the regeneration of its precursor (1). These transformations most likely involve a [3,5]-sigmatropic rearrangement process.

The reaction of 1-chloro-2-(trimethylsilyl)-1-boracyclohexa-2,5-diene with [(n)Bu(4)N]C≡N provides the 1-borabenzonitrile salt [(n)Bu(4)N][C(5)H(5)BC≡N] which in turn reacts with [Ru(4)(µ-Cl)(4)(η-C(5)Me(5))(4)] to afford the sandwich complex [Ru(η(6)-C(5)H(5)BC≡N)(η-C(5)Me(5))]. The bonding of 1-borabenzonitrile is discussed with recourse to crystallographic data for [(n)Bu(4)N][C(5)H(5)BC≡N] and [Ru(η(6)-C(5)H(5)BC≡N)(η-C(5)Me(5))].
RESUMO
The synthesis of the enantiomer of the structure, 1, assigned to the natural product nobilisitine A has been accomplished using the enantiomerically pure cis-1,2-dihydrocatechol 4 as starting material. The (1)H and (13)C NMR spectral data derived from compound ent-1 do not match those reported for the natural product, thus suggesting its structure has been incorrectly assigned.

The canine phase I and phase II metabolism of the synthetic anabolic-androgenic steroid stanozolol was investigated following intramuscular injection into a male greyhound. The major phase I biotransformation was hydroxylation to give 6alpha-hydroxystanozolol which was excreted as a glucuronide conjugate and was identified by comparison with synthetically derived reference materials. An analytical procedure was developed for the detection of this stanozolol metabolite in canine urine using solid phase extraction, enzyme hydrolysis of glucuronide conjugates and analysis by positive ion electrospray ionisation ion trap LC-MS.

The addition of organolithium reagents to an equilibrating mixture of diastereomers of a phosphine-stabilized 1,2-ethanediylbis(phenylarsenium triflate) containing chiral arsenic stereocenters and an enantiomerically pure, atropisomeric tertiary phosphepine derived from lithiated (aR)-2,2'-dimethyl-1,1'-binaphthalene generates unequal mixtures of diastereomers and enantiomers of chelating 1,2-ethanediylbis(tertiary arsines), chiral at arsenic, with liberation of the (aR(P))-phosphepine. Thus, the addition of methyllithium in diethyl ether at -95 degrees C to a dichloromethane solution of the complex (R*(As),R*(As))-(+/-)/(R*(As),S*(As))-1,2-[(R(3)P)PhAsCH(2)CH(2)AsPh(PR(3))](OTf)(2), where R(3)P is (aR(P))-[2-(methoxymethyl)phenyl]phosphepine, generates (R*(As),R*(As))-(+/-)-1,2-ethanediylbis(methylphenylarsine) in 78% diastereoselectivity and 95% enantioselectivity in favor of the (R(As),R(As)) enantiomer. Under similar conditions, the addition of n-butyllithium in hexanes to a solution of the bis(phosphepine-stabilized)-diarsenium triflate at -95 degrees C gives the corresponding (R*(As),R*(As))-(+/-)-1,2-ethanediylbis[(n-butyl)phenylarsine) in 77% diastereoselectivity and 93% enantioselectivity in favor of the (R(As),R(As)) enantiomer.
