RESUMEN
P-chiral supramolecular phosphine ligands are crucial for asymmetric transformations, but their synthesis is tedious. We report a one-step synthesis of thermally stable P-chiral supramolecular phosphines and their performance in the asymmetric hydrogenation of functionalized alkenes. A rational designing and synthesis of (R, R)-QuinoxP* ligated palladium complex (Pd-2) in excellent yield is reported. This Pd-2 catalyzed a direct P-C coupling of 2,3-dihydro-1-H-phosphindole (A1)/1,2,3,4-tetrahydrophosphindoline (A2) with 1-(3-iodophenyl)urea (B1)/2-iodo /6-hydroxy pyridine (B2) and,produced corresponding ligands L1-L3. The P-C coupling between A1 and B2 produced 6-(2,3-dihydro-1H-phosphindol-1-yl)pyridine-2(1H)-one (L2) with an excellent enantiomeric excess of up to 99 %. L2 was found to be remarkably stable even at 150 °C and did not oxidize/hydrolyze for at least 24â hours in open air. Such thermal stability and an impediment to oxidation are unprecedented. L2 self-assembled and produced L2-C1 (Pt), L2-C2(Pd), and L2-C3(Rh) assemblies. The utility of the self-assembled P-chiral ligand was demonstrated in the Rh-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation (AH) of functionalized olefins. The L2-C3 catalyzed AH of functionalized alkenes and delivered chiral products with excellent enantioselectivity of >99 %. A small library of 16 substrates was subjected to AH using L2-C3 to produce chiral compounds with excellent conversion and ee.
RESUMEN
The reaction of a nickel(II) chloride complex containing a tridentate ß-diketiminato ligand with a picolyl group [2,6-iPr2 -C6 H3 NC(Me)CHC(Me)NH(CH2 py)]Ni(II)Cl (1)] with KSi(SiMe3 )3 conveniently afforded a nickel(I) radical with a T-shaped geometry (2). The compound's metalloradical nature was confirmed through electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies and its reaction with TEMPO, resulting in the formation of a highly unusual three-membered nickeloxaziridine complex (3). When reacted with disulfide and diselenide, the S-S and Se-Se bonds were cleaved, and a coupled product was formed through carbon atom of the pyridine-imine group. The nickel(I) radical activates dihydrogen at room temperature and atmospheric pressure to give the monomeric nickel hydride.
RESUMEN
Helical nanographenes have garnered substantial attention owing to their finely adjustable optical and semiconducting properties. The strategic integration of both helicity and heteroatoms into the nanographene structure, facilitated by a boron-oxygen-based multiple resonance (MR) thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF), elevates its photophysical and chiroptical features. This signifies the introduction of an elegant category of helical nanographene that combines optical (TADF) and chiroptical (CPL) features. In this direction, we report the synthesis, optical, and chiroptical properties of boron, oxygen-doped Π-extended helical nanographene. The π-extension induces distortion in the DOBNA-incorporated nanographene, endowing a pair of helicenes, (P)-B2NG, and (M)-B2NG exhibiting circularly polarized luminescence with glum of -2.3×10-3 and +2.5×10-3, respectively. B2NG exhibited MR-TADF with a lifetime below 5 µs, and a reasonably high fluorescence quantum yield (50 %). Our molecular design enriches the optical and chiroptical properties of nanographenes and opens up new opportunities in multidisciplinary fields.
RESUMEN
Herein we report a transition-metal free, base-mediated 1,6-conjugate addition of aryldiazenes to para-quinone methides (p-QMs). Arylhydrazines were used for the in situ generation of aryldiazenes using a base-mediated protocol in the presence of air as the oxidant. The 1,6-conjugate addition of aryldiazenes to para-quinone methides via a radical mechanism is followed by an oxidative rearrangement to furnish the desired product, arylhydrazones. Interestingly, our synthetic protocol results in the formation of an aryldiazene radical, which undergoes 1,6-conjugate addition with p-QMs to furnish the arylhydrazones.
RESUMEN
Pharmaceutical eutectics are extremely useful for designing formulations, and currently, there are no techniques other than differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) that can confirm their formation. In this study, we demonstrate that 1H fast magic angle spinning (MAS) solid-state NMR (SSNMR) experiments can confirm the formation of eutectics by detecting their intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions.

Alkoxylation, hydrosilylative-alkoxylation, and dehydrogenative-polymerization are some of the most widely used transformations in synthetic chemistry. However, these transformations are traditionally catalyzed by precious, and rare late-transition metals. Presented here is a molecularly defined iron complex that catalyzes alkoxylation, tandem hydrosilylative-alkoxylation, and dehydrogenative polymerization of silanes under mild conditions. The iron complex [Fe(CO)4 (H)(SiPh3 )] 1 catalyzes a direct Si-O coupling reaction between an array of silanes and alcohols to produce desired alkoxysilanes in excellent yield, with H2 as the only byproduct. The iron catalyst tolerates various functional groups and provides access to 20 alkoxysilanes, including essential molecules such as ß-citronellol and cholesterol. Further, complex 1 catalyzes the polymerization of renewable diol and silane monomer to produce a renewable and degradable poly(isosorbide-silyl ether). Remarkably, complex 1 catalyzes a tandem hydrosilylative-alkoxylation of alkynes under mild conditions to yield unsaturated silyl ethers. The synthetic utility has been demonstrated by gram-scale alkoxylation and hydrosilylative-alkoxylation reactions.
RESUMEN
Chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of C=C bond in α,ß-unsaturated ketones is demonstrated at room temperature employing a manganese(I) catalyst and half an equivalent of ammonia-borane (H3 N-BH3 ). A series of mixed-donor pincer-ligated Mn(II) complexes, (tBu2 PN3 NPyz )MnX2 [κP ,κN ,κN -(N-(di-tert-butylphosphaneyl)-6-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridin-2-amine)MnX2 ] {X=Cl (Mn2), X=Br (Mn3), X=I (Mn4)} were synthesized and characterized. Amongst the Mn(II) complexes, (Mn2, Mn3, Mn4) and Mn(I) complex, (tBu2 PN3 NPyz )Mn(CO)2 Br (Mn1) screened; the Mn1 acts as an efficient catalyst for the chemoselective C=C bond reduction in α,ß-unsaturated ketones. Various synthetically important functionalities like halides, methoxy, trifluoromethyl, benzyloxy, nitro, amine, and unconjugated alkene and alkyne groups, including heteroarenes, were compatible and provided saturated ketones in excellent yields (up to 97 %). A preliminary mechanistic study highlighted the crucial role of metal-ligand (M-L) cooperation through the dearomatization-aromatization process in catalyst Mn1 for the chemoselective C=C bond transfer hydrogenation.
RESUMEN
Recently, chiral and nonplanar cutouts of graphene have been the favorites due to their unique optical, electronic, and redox properties and high solubility compared with their planar counterparts. Despite the remarkable progress in helicenes, π-extended heterohelicenes have not been widely explored. As an anode in a lithium-ion battery, the racemic mixture of π-extended double heterohelical nanographene containing thienothiophene core exhibited a high lithium storage capability, attaining a specific capacity of 424â mAh g-1 at 0.1â A g-1 with excellent rate capability and superior long-term cycling performance over 6000â cycles with negligible fade. As a first report, the π-extended helicene isomer (PP and MM), with the more interlayer distance that helps faster diffusion of ions, has exhibited a high capacity of 300â mAh g-1 at 2â A g-1 with long-term cycling performance over 1500â cycles compared to the less performing MP and PM isomer and racemic mixture (150â mAh g-1 at 2â A g-1 ). As supported by single-crystal X-ray analysis, a unique molecular design of nanographenes with a fixed (helical) molecular geometry, avoiding restacking of the layers, renders better performance as an anode in lithium-ion batteries. Interestingly, the recycled nanographene anode material displayed comparable performance.
RESUMEN
Aesthetic designs from nature enable new knowledge to be gained and, at the same time, inspire scientific models. In this context, multicomponent macrocycles embody the advantage of precisely positioning the structural units to achieve efficient communication between them. However, the construction of a functionalizable macrocycle for ultrafast charge separation and stabilization has not been attempted. Herein, we report the synthesis, crystal structure, and transient absorption of a new functionalizable macrocycle consisting of an oligothiophene-ring-strapped perylene bisimide. Transient absorption results point to a sequential improvement in charge separation and stabilization from the macrocycle to the corresponding linear dimer and 2D polymer due to the unique design. Our macrocycle design with a supportive spatial arrangement of the donor and acceptor units will inspire the development of more complex synthetic systems with exciting electron-transfer and charge-separation features.
RESUMEN
The total synthesis of racemic incarvilleatone has been achieved by utilizing unexplored accelerated Rauhut-Currier (RC) dimerization. The other key steps of the synthesis are oxa-Michael and aldol reactions in a tandem sequence. Racemic incarvilleatone was separated by chiral HPLC and the configuration of each enantiomer was determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. In addition, a one-pot synthesis of (±)-incarviditone has been achieved from rac-rengyolone by using KHMDS as a base. We have also assessed the anticancer activity of all the synthesized compounds in breast cancer cells nonetheless, they exhibited very limited growth suppression activity.
RESUMEN
In this work, two monomeric magnesium alkyl complexes (1 and 2) were prepared using bis(phosphino)carbazole framework and among them 1 has been used as a catalyst for hydroboration of alkenes and alkynes with pinacolborane (HBpin). A broad variety of aromatic and aliphatic alkenes and alkynes were efficiently reduced. Anti-Markovnikov regioselective hydroboration of alkenes and alkynes was achieved, which was confirmed by deuterium-labelling experiments. The work represents the first example of the use of magnesium in homogeneous catalytic hydroboration of alkene with broad substrate scope. Experimental mechanistic investigations and DFT calculations provided insights into the reaction mechanism. Finally, the hydroboration protocol was extended to terpenes.

The diastereoselective formal synthesis of (-)-quinagolide, a D2 receptor agonist, has been achieved. The synthesis started from l-pyroglutamic acid and relied on utilization of (a) a stereospecific catalytic hydrogenation and diastereoselective Horner-Emmons-Michael cascade to obtain functionalized prolinate, (b) a Lewis acid mediated Pummerer cyclization to construct a tricyclic fused ring system, and (c) a diastereoselective ring expansion via a bicyclic aziridinium intermediate to access the required 3-substituted piperidine scaffold.

Upon stabilization by 5,6-bis(diisopropylphosphino)acenaphthene to form compound 1, the fugitive antimony (I) cation exhibited nucleophilic behavior towards coinage metals. Compound 1 was strategically synthesized at room temperature from SbCl3 , the bis(phosphine), and trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate taken in a 1:2:3 ratio, whereby the bis(phosphine) plays the dual role of a reductant and a supporting ligand. The generation of 1 involves two-electron oxidation of the ligand to form a P-P bonded diphosphonium dication. Compound 1 was separated from this dication to give both products in pure form in moderate yields. Despite the overall positive charge, the SbI site in 1 was found to bind to metal centers, forming complexes with AuI , AgI and CuI . Compound 1 reduced CuII to CuI and formed a coordination complex with the resulting CuI species. The effects of the electron-rich bis(phosphine) and the constrained peri geometry in stabilizing and enhancing the nucleophilicity of 1 have been rationalized through computational studies.
RESUMEN
Disilenes with differently coordinated silicon atoms are not known. Here, we have shown the high yield synthesis of a range of disilenes (2-4 and 6) upon reaction of a hypersilyl silylene PhC(NtBu)2 SiSi(SiMe3 )3 (1) with aliphatic chlorophosphines. The most striking characteristic of these disilenes is the presence of two differently coordinated Si atoms (one is three-coordinated, the other four-coordinated). The analogous reaction with Ph2 PCl did not afford the desired disilene, but, surprisingly, led to the first tetraphosphinosilane (8). DFT calculations were performed to understand the bonding in disilenes and differences in reactivity of the complexes.
RESUMEN
Although the construction of axially chiral C-C bonds leading to the atroposelective synthesis of biaryls and allied compounds are well-known, the related synthesis of compounds bearing axially chiral C-N bonds are relatively rare. Described herein is the N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed atroposelective synthesis of N-aryl succinimides having an axially chiral C-N bond via the desymmetrization of N-aryl maleimides. The NHC involved intermolecular Stetter-aldol cascade of dialdehydes with prochiral N-aryl maleimides followed by oxidation afforded N-aryl succinimides in good yields and ee values. Preliminary studies on rotation barrier for the C-N bond, the temperature dependence, and detailed DFT studies on mechanism are also provided.
RESUMEN
A silver-catalyzed cycloisomerization/1,6-conjugate addition of homopropargyl sulfonamides to p-quinone methides to access diverse diarylmethine substituted dihydropyrroles has been disclosed. The reaction pathway involves an intramolecular cascade cyclization of homopropargyl sulfonamides to generate a highly reactive dihydropyrrole intermediate in situ followed by conjugate addition with p-quinone methides. This method provides an efficient and scalable route for the synthesis of 3-diarylmethine substituted dihydropyrroles, in one pot.
RESUMEN
The synthesis of crystalline helical polymers of trehalose via topochemical azide-alkyne cycloaddition (TAAC) of a trehalose-based monomer is presented. An unsymmetrical trehalose derivative having azide and alkyne crystallizes in two different forms having almost similar packing. Upon heating, both the crystals undergo TAAC reaction to form crystalline polymers. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) studies revealed that the monomers in both the crystals polymerize in a crystal-to-crystal fashion; circular dichroism (CD) studies of the product crystals revealed that the formed polymer is helically ordered. This solvent-free, catalyst-free polymerization method that eliminates the tedious purification of the polymeric product exemplifies the advantage of topochemical polymerization reaction over traditional solution-phase polymerization.
RESUMEN
Room-temperature phosphorescence of metal and heavy atom-free organic molecules has emerged as an area of great potential in recent years. A rational design played a critical role in controlling the molecular ordering to impart efficient intersystem crossing and stabilize the triplet state to achieve room-temperature ultralong phosphorescence. However, in most cases, the strategies to strengthen phosphorescence efficiency have resulted in a reduced lifetime, and the available nearly degenerate singlet-triplet energy levels impart a natural competition between delayed fluorescence and phosphorescence, with the former one having the advantage. Herein, an organic helical assembly supports the exhibition of an ultralong phosphorescence lifetime. In contrary to other molecules, 3,6-phenylmethanone functionalized 9-hexylcarbazole exhibits a remarkable improvement in phosphorescence lifetime (>4.1â s) and quantum yield (11 %) owing to an efficient molecular packing in the crystal state. A right-handed helical molecular array act as a trap and exhibits triplet exciton migration to support the exceptionally longer phosphorescence lifetime.
RESUMEN
Stabilization of an amidinatosilylene with a bulky tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl substituent was realized with the preparation of PhC(NtBu)2Si{Si(SiMe3)3} (1) from PhC(NtBu)2SiHCl2 with K{Si(SiMe3)3} in more than 90% yield. The highly deshielded 29Si NMR resonance (δ = 76.91 ppm) can be attributed to the absence of a π-donating substituent. The molecular structure of 1 shows a trigonal-planar geometry around the SiII center with a SiII-SiIV bond length of 2.4339(13) Å. A series of reactions of 1 with Me3NO, S, Se, and Te were performed. While siloxane derivatives (2 and 3) are obtained from reactions with Me3NO, silachalcogenones (4-6) are formed with other chalcogens. The presence of SiâE (E = S, Se, and Te) bonds in 4-6 have been confirmed by single-crystal X-ray studies. Silaoxirane (7) formation was observed when 1 was treated with acetone, demonstrating the importance of the tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl group to kinetically and thermodynamically protect the silaoxirane derivative with less bulky substituents on the C atom.
