The title compound, [Fe3(C5H5)3(C15H12OP)] H2O or Fc3PO H2O, was obtained as red crystals from the Friedel±Crafts alkylation reaction of PCl3 and ferrocene. Torsion angles (O PÐCÐFe/C) range fromÿ45.39 (9) toÿ56.11 (14) . The structure is stabilized by intermolecular hydrogen bonds [H O = 2.10 (3) and 2.00 (4) AÊ ], forming dimeric structures between pairs of O PFc3 and water molecules. A theor...

[reaction: see text] An enantioselective gram-scale synthesis of a key dihydroindolizine intermediate for the preparation of myrmicarin alkaloids is described. Key transformations in this convergent approach include a stereospecific palladium-catalyzed N-vinylation of a pyrrole with a vinyl triflate, a copper-catalyzed enantioselective conjugate reduction of a beta-pyrrolyl enoate, and a regios...

In the presence of a peptide catalyst and the oxidative enzyme laccase, a one-pot sequential reaction including a Friedel-Crafts-type alkylation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes followed by an α-oxyamination was realized. The reaction in aqueous solvent to promote the enzymatic oxidation, and the use of a peptide catalyst compatible with such conditions, were essential. The present sequential react...

The title compound, C(7)H(7)NO(2), was synthesized via a one-pot Vilsmeier-Haack and subsequent Friedel-Crafts reaction. The pyrazole ring makes dihedral angles of 4.50 (9) and 2.06 (8)°, respectively, with the aldehyde and acetyl groups. In the crystal, classical N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and weak C-H⋯O inter-actions assemble the mol-ecules into a chain along the b axis.

A new class of chiral bifunctional heterogeneous materials composed of Au/Pd nanoparticles and chiral phosphoric acids as active orthogonal catalysts was prepared by utilizing a facile pseudo-suspension co-polymerization method. It was found that this heterogeneous catalyst was capable of facilitating the sequential aerobic oxidation-asymmetric intramolecular aza-Friedel-Crafts reaction between...

The Friedel-Crafts reaction between 3,3,3-trifluoropyruvates and indoles is efficiently catalysed by the iridium complex [(η(5)-C5Me5)Ir{(R)-Prophos}(H2O)][SbF6]2 (1) with up to 84% ee. Experimental data and theoretical calculations support a mechanism involving the Brønsted-acid activation of the pyruvate carbonyl by the protons of the coordinated water molecule in 1. Water is not dissociated ...

an efficient method for the friedel–crafts acylation of a wide range of aromatic compounds in good to excellent yields under solvent-free conditions, using iron zirconium phosphate (zpfe) was investigated. the catalyst is easy to prepare and shows interesting catalytic properties. the catalyst was characterized by some instrumental techniques such as xrd, icp-oes, sem and tem. a wide variety of...

The synthetic route in this work is based on the classical Friedel-Crafts strategy, and began with 1,4-dimethoxybenzene (I), followed by alkylation and selective demethylation of 2-methoxy function in 0x0-acid (3). The orthoformylation to synthesize aldehyde (6) was based on the Reimer-Tieman reaction. Chain extension of this aldehyde required methylation of the hydroxyl group and condensat...
