RESUMEN
A new one-pot solvent-less reaction to convert benzylic, allylic, ferrocenyl or tertiary alcohols into S-thioesters, bench-stable and less odorous precursors of the corresponding thiols, which is based on reactions in neat thioacetic acid in the presence of tetrafluoroboric acid, is presented. Reaction monitoring by NMR and GC of the benzyl alcohol conversion indicated the intermediate formation of benzyl acetate and benzyl thionoacetate (PhCH2 OC(S)CH3 ) prior to the slower conversion to the final S-benzyl thioacetate product. Increasing the HBF4 concentration enhanced the reaction rate, giving good to excellent yield (up to 99 %) for a large scope of alcohols. Control experiments, with support of DFT calculations, have revealed a thermodynamically favorable, though requiring HBF4 -activation, disproportionation of CH3 C(O)SH to CH3 C(O)OH and CH3 C(S)SH, the latter immediately decomposing to H2 S and (MeC)4 S6 but also generating the hitherto unreported [MeC(O)C(Me)S]2 (µ-S)2 . Kinetic investigations demonstrated that the rate of benzyl alcohol conversion is second-order in [PhCH2 OH] and second order in [HBF4 ], while the rate of conversion of the benzyl acetate intermediate to S-benzyl thioacetate is second order in [PhCOOMe] and fourth order in [HBF4 ]. The DFT calculations rationalize the need to two alcohol molecules and two protons to generate the reactive benzyl cation.
RESUMEN
A new synthetic alternative to the synthesis of 3-methyl indoles and 3-methyl indoline-2-ols with an excellent atomic economy is presented in this study. It is demonstrated that the intramolecular interrupted hydroaminomethylation (HAM) reaction is a powerful tool for the formation of these compounds, which exhibit wide-ranging biological activity. Several N-Protected-2-vinyl anilines were synthesized and involved in the reaction producing the corresponding 3-methylindole or 3-methyl indoline-2-ol depending on the nature of the N-protecting groups.
RESUMEN
Mn and Fe BPMEN complexes showed excellent reactivity in catalytic oxidation with an excess of co-reagent (CH3COOH). In the straight line of a cleaner catalytic system, volatile acetic acid was replaced by SiO2 (nano)particles with two different sizes to which pending carboxylic functions were added (SiO2@COOH). The SiO2@COOH beads were obtained by the functionalization of SiO2 with pending nitrile functions (SiO2@CN) followed by CN hydrolysis. All complexes and silica beads were characterized by NMR, infrared, DLS, TEM, X-ray diffraction. The replacement of CH3COOH by SiO2@COOH (100 times less on molar ratio) has been evaluated for (ep)oxidation on several substrates (cyclooctene, cyclohexene, cyclohexanol) and discussed in terms of activity and green metrics.
RESUMEN
Thermal decarbonylation of the acyl compounds [Mn(CO)5 (CORF )] (RF =CF3 , CHF2 , CH2 CF3 , CF2 CH3 ) yielded the corresponding alkyl derivatives [Mn(CO)5 (RF )], some of which have not been previously reported. The compounds were fully characterized by analytical and spectroscopic methods and by several single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The solution-phase IR characterization in the CO stretching region, with the assistance of DFT calculations, has allowed the assignment of several weak bands to vibrations of the [Mn(12 CO)4 (eq-13 CO)(RF )] and [Mn(12 CO)4 (ax-13 CO)(RF )] isotopomers and a ranking of the RF donor power in the order CF3 Asunto(s)

RESUMEN
Simple and effective synthetic pathways are described to prepare compounds R2P(X)C(S)SCH(Me)Ph with the P atom either in the oxidation state V [R/X = t-Bu/O (6), Ph/S, (7), t-Bu/S (8), t-Bu/Se (9)] or III [R/X = Ph/BH3 (4), t-Bu/BH3 (5), t-Bu/lone pair (10)]. Compound 9 is the first example of carbodithioate ester with a P = Se group, and for the first time, a phosphinocarboditioate with a free phosphine function (compound 10) is described. Stabilization of the latter crucially depends on the steric protection by the t-Bu groups since an analogous derivative with R = Ph is observable but too unstable for isolation. Compound 10 can be reversibly protonated to yield the [t-Bu2PHC(S)SCH(Me)Ph]+ cation (10-H+), which was isolated as a BF4- salt. A few interconversion processes resulting in the facile addition/removal or exchange of the X group in this family of compounds are also described. The oxidation state of the phosphorus atom and the nature of an electron-withdrawing group have a significant impact on the spectral properties.
RESUMEN
The tris[(4-dimethylaminopyridyl)methyl]amine (TPMANMe2) as a ligand for copper-catalyzed atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is reported. In solution, the [CuI(TPMANMe2)Br] complex shows fluxionality by variable-temperature NMR, indicating rapid ligand exchange. In the solid state, the [CuII(TPMANMe2)Br][Br] complex exhibits a slightly distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry (τ = 0.89). The UV-vis spectrum of [CuII(TPMANMe2)Br]+ salts is similar to those of other pyridine-based ATRP catalysts. Electrochemical studies of [Cu(TPMANMe2)]2+ and [Cu(TPMANMe2)Br]+ showed highly negative redox potentials (E1/2 = -302 and -554 mV vs SCE, respectively), suggesting unprecedented ATRP catalytic activity. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) in the presence of methyl 2-bromopropionate (MBrP; acrylate mimic) was used to determine activation rate constant ka = 1.1 × 106 M-1 s-1, confirming the extremely high catalyst reactivity. In the presence of the more active ethyl α-bromoisobutyrate (EBiB; methacrylate mimic), total catalysis was observed and an activation rate constant ka = 7.2 × 106 M-1 s-1 was calculated with values of KATRP ≈ 1. ATRP of methyl acrylate showed a well-controlled polymerization using as little as 10 ppm of catalyst relative to monomer, while side reactions such as CuI-catalyzed radical termination (CRT) could be suppressed due to the low concentration of L/CuI at a steady state.
RESUMEN
A facile method for the preparation of enantiomerically pure inherently chiral calix[4]arene phosphonic acid (cR,pR)-7 in four steps starting from the readily available and previously synthesized (cS)-enantiomer of calix[4]arene acetic acid 1 or its methyl ester 2 was developed. The first tests of this unique calixarene Brönsted acid with inherent chirality in organocatalysis of the aza-Diels-Alder reaction of imines with Danishefsky's diene and epoxide ring opening by benzoic acid were performed. The calixarene phosphonic acid (cR,pR)-7 shows good catalytic activities but with low enantioselectivities in these reactions.
RESUMEN
Understanding and controlling the aggregation state is germane to alkyllithium chemistry. Lewis base-free alkyllithium compounds normally form tetrahedral tetramers or octahedral hexamers in the solid state with the lithium cations being three-coordinate. We report that the unsupported cyclopropyl derivative 1-(trimethylsilyl)cyclopropyllithium [{µ-c-C(SiMe3 )C2 H4 }Li]4 (1), synthesized by the reduction of 1-(phenylthio)-1-(trimethylsilyl)cyclopropane, crystallizes as a tetramer in the space group I-4 with the two-coordinate lithium atoms forming a square. CC agostic interactions complete the coordination sphere around each lithium. The aggregate is preserved in hydrocarbon solution. Furthermore, CC agostic interactions compete intra- and intermolecularly with Lewis base donation as in the unsaturated dimer of 1-(phenylthio)cyclopropyllithium [Li(thf)2 {µ-c-C(SPh)C2 H4 }2 Li (thf)] (3) which is also fully characterized.
RESUMEN
Quaterpyridines have been demonstrated to be useful building blocks in metallo-supramolecular chemistry; however, their synthesis requires the preparation of sensitive building blocks. We present here three examples of nonsymmetric quaterpyridines that were easily obtained in yields of 70-85% by condensation of commercially available enones with 6-acetyl-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine through a Kröhnke pyridine synthesis. Easy access to 6-acetyl-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine starting from 2,6-diacetylpyridine and 2-acetylpyridine is described. The X-ray analysis of a chiral quaterpyridine and its Pt(II) complex is presented.

The Co(III) ion lies on an inversion center, and the asymmetric unit contains one half of a [Co(III)(2α,2ß-TpivPP)(CN)2](-) ion complex and one half of a [K(18-C-6](+) counter-ion (18-C-6 is 1,4,7,10,13,16-hexa-oxa-cyclo-octa-deca-ne), where the K(I) ion lies on an inversion center. The Co(III) ion is hexa-coordinated by two C-bonded axial cyanide ligands and the four pyrrole N atoms of the porphyrin ligand. The K(I) ion is chelated by the six O atoms of the 18-crown-6 mol-ecule and is further coordinated by two O atoms of pivalamido groups of the porphyrin ligands, leading to the formation of polymeric chains running along [011]. In the crystal, the polymeric chains and the lattice water mol-ecules are linked by N-Hâ¯O and O-Hâ¯N hydrogen bonds, as well as weak C-Hâ¯O, O-Hâ¯π and C-Hâ¯π inter-actions into a three-dimensional supra-molecular architecture.

RESUMEN
The hemisynthesis of the title compound, C22H32O2, was carried out through direct acetyl-ation reaction of the naturally occurring diterpene totarol [systematic name: (4bS,8aS)-4b,8,8-trimethyl-1-propan-2-yl-5,6,7,8a,9,10-hexa-hydro-phen-an-thren-2-ol]. The mol-ecule is built up from three fused six membered rings, one saturated and two unsaturated. The central unsaturated ring has a half-chair conformation, whereas the other unsaturated ring displays a chair conformation. The absolute configuration is deduced from the chemical pathway. The value of the Hooft parameter [-0.10â (6)] allowed this absolute configuration to be confirmed.
