    Stereoselective Synthesis of 1,4-Dienes by Chelation-controlled Reduction of Benzothiazole beta-Oxosulfides

    No full text
    Allylated ~-oxosulfides of benzothiazole can replace ~-oxophosphane oxides to provide a stereospecific alkene synthesis. These sulfides, by reduction with sodium borohydride afford predominantly syn beta-hydroxy sulfides. DIBAL reduction in the presence of magnesium bromide improves the syn stereomer formation. Base treatment of these [3-hydroxy sulfides affords (Z)-ailyl thiiranes which are converted into (E, Z)-diene

    Regio- and Stereo-Selective Carbon-Carbon Bond Formation in Ionic Liquids

    No full text
    Ionic liquids, that is molten salts, may represent activating and stabilizing solvents for C–C coupling reactions. In particular, tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) is particularly suitable for Heck reactions as it enhances reaction rates. In the presence of tetrabutylammonium acetate as base, palladium complex with benzothiazolidene as ligands as well palladium acetate are transformed to Pd-nanoparticles which allow regio- and stereo-specific Heck reactions with very high TON and TOF. Beside this, TBAB enhances, by solvation, the formation and reactivity of carbanions. A comparative study on effects exerted by different ionic liquids on catalyst stabilization, reaction rates and regioand stereo-selectivity in the C–C coupling reactions is also reported

    Pd–benzothiazol-2-ylidene complex in ionic liquids: Efficient catalyst for carbon–carbon coupling reactions

    Pd-benzothiazol-2-ylidene complex 3 catalyzes efficiently the carbon–carbon coupling reactions in the ionic liquid tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) as solvent. The IL does exert a striking influence on the reactivity and the stability of the catalyst. This is probably due to the formation, by reaction with TBAB, of an anionic and more nucleophilic complex surrounded by large tetrabutylammonium cation that would impede, by imposing a Coulombic barrier for collision, the formation of clusters growing further into catalytically inactive metal particles. On the contrary, ionic liquids with planar structures and poor nucleophilic anions like the [bmims], that form tight ion pairs, are barely efficient in influencing the reactivity and stability of the catalyst
