    Aminium hexachloroantimonates salts as latent sources of antimony pentacloride in pinacolic rearrangement of vicinal diols

    No full text
    Rearrangements of various vicinal diols (1a–f) induced by hexachloroantimonate aminium salts A or B were found to occur in a similar manner when antimony pentachloride was used instead of aminium salts. Antimony pentachloride is proposed as the active catalytic species, possibly deriving from the oxidation of the hexachloroantimonate anion SbCl6– by the aminium counterpart

    Aminium Salts-Induced Dimerization of alpha-Methylstyrene and 1-Aryl-1-Phenylethylenes. Solvent Effect

    No full text
    The aminium salts-induced dimerization of alfa-methylstyrene lb gives rise, depending on the solvent employed, to high yields of 1,3,3-trimethyl-1-phenylindane 2b, or 2,4-diphenyl-4-methyl-l-pentene 6b. Several 1-aryl-l-phenylethylenes la,c-e afford, instead, cyclodimers 2a,c-e, or 2,5-diaryl-2,5-diphenyltetrahydrofuran derivatives 3a,c-e

    Oxidative activation in aromatic substitutions. Reactions of N,N-dimethylanilines with secondary Anilines promoted by thallium triacetate

    The reactions of N,N-dimethyl-p-anisidine (1a), N,N-dimethylaniline (1b), and N,N-dimethyl-pfluoroaniline (1c) toward secondary anilines 2(a-d)-H in the presence of thallium triacetate sesquihydrate have been studied as representative of a novel oxidatively activated aromatic substitution affording 1,4-benzenediamine derivatives 3a-d. All of the substrates considered gave substitution with diphenylamine (2d-H). However, with anilines 2b,c-H, only 1a underwent substitution, and substrates 1b,c were practically unreactive. The observed differences in reactivity are well accounted for within a mechanistic framework wherein oxidative activation of both the substrate and the secondary aniline is regarded as alternatively (or simultaneously) possible, depending on the redox characteristics of the reactants. For instance, it can be stated, beyond any reasonable doubt, that reactions of 1a with 2b,c-H proceed via nucleophilic attack of the latter on 1a+¥, and that the reaction of 1a-c with 2d-H must involve the diphenylamino radical 2d¥
