Oxidative dimerization

Kaplan and Shechter found that certain oxidants react with the nitronate salts of secondary nitroalkanes to yield vic-dinitroalkanes (111) in a reaction referred to as oxidative dimerization. These reactions are believed to involve transfer of an electron from the secondary alkyl nitronate to the oxidant with the production of a nitroalkyl radical. The radical can then dimerize to the corresponding vtc-dinitroalkane (111) (Equation 1.2) or lose nitric oxide to form a ketone via the Nef reaction (Equation 1.3). Unfortunately, formation of the ketone is a major side-reaction during oxidative dimerization and is often the major product. [Pg.32]

Studies into oxidative dimerization have shown that only the persulfate anion is of synthetic value in these reactions. Reaction pH is also crucial with reactions proceeding fastest when a pH of 7.2-9.4 is maintained. The reaction medium becomes more acidic as the oxidation progresses and needs either buffering or the slow addition of alkali throughout the reaction. If the reaction medium is allowed to become acidic then the starting nitroalkane is regenerated and the Nef reaction predominates. [Pg.32]

Oxidative dimerization gives reasonable yields of vtc-dinitroalkanes for some substrates 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-dinitrobutane (48, 53 %) and 3,4-dimethyl-3,4-dinitrohexane (37 %) are obtained from 2-nitropropane (76) and 2-nitrobutane respectively.However, oxidative dimerization fails to convert 1,1-dinitroethane and trinitromethane into 2,2,3,3-tetranitrobutane and hexanitroethane respectively. Additionally, oxidative dimerisation is not a feasible route for the synthesis of v/c-dinitroalkanes from primary nitroalkanes. Although oxidative dimerization is limited in scope, and yields are often poor, the starting materials are usually inexpensive. [Pg.32]

Alkynes undergo stoichiometric oxidative reactions with Pd(II). A useful reaction is oxidative carboiiyiation. Two types of the oxidative carbonyla-tion of alkynes are known. The first is a synthesis of the alkynic carbox-ylates 524 by oxidative carbonylation of terminal alkynes using PdCN and CuCh in the presence of a base[469], Dropwise addition of alkynes is recommended as a preparative-scale procedure of this reation in order to minimize the oxidative dimerization of alkynes as a competitive reaction[470]. Also efficient carbonylation of terminal alkynes using PdCU, CuCI and LiCi under CO-O2 (1 I) was reported[471]. The reaction has been applied to the synthesis of the carbapenem intermediate 525[472], The steroidal acetylenic ester 526 formed by this reaction undergoes the hydroarylalion of the triple bond (see Chapter 4, Section 1) with aryl iodide and formic acid to give the lactone 527(473],...

Oxidative dimerization of various 2-benzyloxy-2-thiazoline-5-ones (222) catalyzed by iodine and triethylamine is another example of the nucleophilic reactivity of the C-4 atom (469) (Scheme 112). Treatment of 212 with pyrrolidinocyclohexene yields the amide (223) (Scheme 113). The mechanism given for the formation of 223 is proposed by analogy with the reactivitx of oxazolones with enamines (4701. 4-Substituted 2-phenylthiazol-5(4Hi-ones react with A -morphoiino-l-cyclohexene in a similar manner (562j.

Irradiation of l//-indazoles under nonacidic conditions resulted in isomerization to benzimidazoles and also ring opening to isomeric benzonitriles. With 1-substituted benzimidazoles and sensitized irradiation, nitriles were formed, but these are only minor products with other substitution patterns 67HCA2244, 64TL2999). Irradiation of benzimidazoles leads to oxidative dimerization. [Pg.161]

A -Pyrazolines such as (410) are oxidized by iodine, mercury(II) acetate and trityl chloride to pyrazolium salts (411), and compound (410) even reduces silver nitrate to Ag° (69JOU1480). Electrochemical oxidation of l,3,5-triaryl-2-pyrazolines has been studied in detail (74BSF768, 79CHE115). They Undergo oxidative dimerization and subsequent transformation into the pyrazole derivative (412). [Pg.254]

In context with the formation of peraminosubstituted 1,4,5,8-tetraazaful-valenes of type 85 it must be mentioned that the bis-vinylogous compounds 94 can be easily prepared by reaction of acetamidine with bisimidoylchlo-rides derived from oxalic acid (96S1302). In the course of a complex reaction a cyclic ketene aminal was produced it immediately underwent an oxidative dimerization to yield deeply colored TAFs. Tlieir high chemical stability can be compared with that of indigoid dyes and manifests itself, for example, by the fact that they are soluble in hot concentrated sulfuric acid without decomposition. Tire same type of fulvalene is also available by cy-... [Pg.143]

Tetraazafulvalenes bearing two pyrazole subunits could be prepared by an original way. Tlius, treatment of benzylidene acetophenone with iso-pentylnitrite leads to an A, A -dihydroxy-bipyrazolyl-A, A -oxide, which in turn can be oxidized to TAF of type 100 (72CC961, 79JOC3211). Another type of oxidative dimerization was observed by the reaction of the electron-rich l-methyl-2,4-bis(dimethylamino)imidazole with silver salts (83TL3563). A bis-cation was isolated in 30% yield in the presence of sodium tetrafluo-roborate an unsymmetrical structure 101 was predicted from its NMR data (Scheme 40). [Pg.145]

The elegant biomimetic synthesis of carpanone by Chapman and coworkers commences with the base-induced isomerization of 2-allyl-4,5-methylenedioxyphenol (4)3 to 2-(/ran.y-l-propenyl)-4,5-methylenedioxyphenol (3) (see Scheme 2). Compound 3, as simple as it is, is actually the key intermediate in this synthesis oxidative dimerization of 3 could result in the formation of carpanone (1) through the intermediacy of the C2-symmetric and highly reactive bis(quinodimethide) 2. [Pg.96]

The oxidative dimerization of the anion of methyl phenyl sulfone (from a Grignard reagent) in ethereal solution in the presence of cupric chloride in 5% yield has been reported47. Despite the reported48 poor stability of the a-sulfonyl C-centered radicals, Julia and coworkers49 provoked the dimerization (in 13 to 56% yields) of the lithiated carbanion of alkyl phenyl sulfones using cupric salts as oxidants. The best results are obtained with cupric triflates in THF-isobutyronitrile medium (56% yield for R = H). For allyl phenyl sulfones the coupling in the 3-3 mode is predominant. [Pg.1057]

For economic reasons the oxidative dimerization of CH at about 750°C was extensively investigated. Li+/MgO was the most studied catalyst, but a wide variety of oxides are effective, none lamentably with enough selectivity to be interesting commercially. The reaction which probably involves oxidation at the surface with liberation of CH3 to the gas phase where it dimerizes is, like the Rideal-Eley step, an exception to the earlier statement about mechanism.

Keller and Bhasin were first to report in 1982 [1] on the catalytic one-step oxidative dimerization or coupling of methane (OCM) to C2 hydrocarbons, ethane and ethylene. Numerous investigations have followed this seminal work and a large number of catalysts have been found which give total selectivity to C2 hydrocarbons higher than 90% at low (<2%) methane conversion [2-6].

As corroborated by deuterium labeling studies, the catalytic mechanism likely involves oxidative dimerization of acetylene to form a rhodacyclopen-tadiene [113] followed by carbonyl insertion [114,115]. Protonolytic cleavage of the resulting oxarhodacycloheptadiene by the Bronsted acid co-catalyst gives rise to a vinyl rhodium carboxylate, which upon hydrogenolysis through a six-centered transition structure and subsequent C - H reductive elimina-...
