چکیده

We have prepared a range of alkynyl benzoates in high yields and have investigated their reactivities with the strong Lewis acid B(C6F5)3. In such molecules both σ-activation of the carbonyl and π-activation of the alkyne are possible. In contrast to the reactivity of propargyl esters with B(C6F5)3 which proceed via 1,2-addition of the ester and B(C6F5)3 across the alkyne, the inclusion of an additional CH2 spacer switches off the intramolecular cyclization and selective σ-activation of the carbonyl group is observed through adduct formation. This change in reactivity appears due to the instability of the species which would be formed through B(C6F5)3 activation of the alkyne.

Advanced 1,1-carboboration reactions with pentafluorophenylboranes

The 1,1 carboboration reaction of a variety of metal-substituted alkynes with simple trialkylboranes R3B yields the respective alkenylboranes (Wrackmeyer reaction). The use of the strongly electrophilic R-B(C6F5)2 reagents allows for much milder reaction conditions and gives good yields of the respective bulky alkenylboranes from conventional terminal alkynes by means of 1,2-hydride migration. ...

Activation of a High-Valent Manganese–Oxo Complex by a Nonmetallic Lewis Acid

The reaction of a manganese(V)-oxo porphyrinoid complex with the Lewis acid B(C6F5)3 leads to reversible stabilization of the valence tautomer Mn(IV)(O)(π-radical cation). The latter complex, in combination with B(C6F5)3, reacts with ArO-H substrates via formal hydrogen-atom transfer and exhibits dramatically increased reaction rates over the Mn(V)(O) starting material.

Phosphole formation by 1,1-carboboration--reactions of bis-alkynyl phosphanes with a frustrated P/B Lewis pair.

The arylbis(phenylethynyl)phosphanes 1a,b (aryl = mesityl, 2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl) react with the frustrated P/B Lewis pair (P/B FLP) mes2PCH2CH2B(C6F5)2 (4) to give mixtures of three products; the major products, the phosphole systems 2a,b, are formed by a sequence of 1,1-carboboration reactions. One of the minor compounds (6a,b) is formed by 1,1-carboboration followed by internal 1,2-FLP ad...

Reaction of five-membered zirconacycloallenoids with the strong Lewis acid B(C6F5)3.

Two alkyl and aryl substituted five-membered zirconacycloallenoids underwent a typical σ-alkyl metallocene reaction with B(C6F5)3, namely cleavage of the Zr-C(sp(3)) bond with formation of zwitterionic (η(2)-allenyl)zirconium/alkylborate products. Both products were characterized by X-ray crystal structural analyses.

On Generalized Weak Structures

Avila and Molina [1] introduced the notion of generalized weak structures which naturally generalize minimal structures, generalized topologies and weak structures and the structures α(g),π(g),σ(g) and β(g). This work is a further investigation of generalized weak structures due to Avila and Molina. Further we introduce the structures ro(g) and rc(g) and study the properties of the structures r...
