An air-stable bisboron complex: a practical bidentate Lewis acid catalyst
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report an air-stable bisboron complex as an efficient catalyst for the inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) reaction of 1,2-diazine as well as 1,2,4,5-tetrazine. Its stability towards air and moisture was demonstrated by NMR studies enabling its application in organic transformations without glovebox. A one-pot procedure for its synthesis was developed starting from 1,2-bis(trimethylsilyl)benzene greatly enhancing its practicality. Comparative reactions were carried out to evaluate its catalytic activity in IEDDA reactions of diazine including phthalazine as well as 1,2,4,5-tetrazine.

Bidentate Lewis acid catalysts in asymmetric synthesis*
The chemistry of bidentate Lewis acids belongs to an unexplored field of science, and so far has been only poorly studied. This paper illustrates the design of several bidentate Al and Ti Lewis acids, and their successful application to selective organic synthesis, particularly to asymmetric synthesis. For example, a new, chiral bidentate Ti(IV) complex is successfully designed by adding commer...
متن کاملAn air-stable cationic iridium hydride as a highly active and general catalyst for the isomerization of terminal epoxides.
We describe the use of an air-stable iridium hydride catalyst for the isomerization of terminal epoxides into aldehydes with perfect regioselectivity. The system operates at low loadings of catalyst (0.5 mol%), is highly practical, scalable, and tolerates functional groups that would not be compatible with Lewis acids typically used in stoichiometric amounts. Evidence for a rare hydride mechani...

The cross-coupling reaction between phenylboronic acid and various types of aryl halides (Suzuki reaction) was carried out using a catalytic amount of a new palladium catalyst (1-benzyl-3-(1-benzyl-1-methylpyrrolidin-1-ium-2-yl) pyridin-1-ium palladium chloride [DBNT][PdCl4]) in poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG-200) in the presence of KOH as the base. This new catalyst was synthesized and...

متن کاملPrimary amine-metal Lewis acid bifunctional catalysts based on a simple bidentate ligand: direct asymmetric aldol reaction.
A novel class of primary amine-metal Lewis acid bifunctional catalysts based on a bidentate ligand was developed. These catalysts were highly efficient in catalyzing the direct asymmetric aldol reactions of ketones offering excellent stereoselectivity. The aldol reactions required a low catalyst loading (2.5 mol%), and were water compatible.
