Nicholas Reactions Of Alkynyl- And Alkenyltrifluoroborates, Brent St. Onge, James R. Green Aug 2017

Nicholas Reactions Of Alkynyl- And Alkenyltrifluoroborates, Brent St. Onge, James R. Green

Chemistry and Biochemistry Publications

The Lewis acid mediated Nicholas reaction of potassium alkynyltrifluoroborates and propargyl acetate- hexacarbonyldicobalt complexes affords 1,4-diyne dicobalt hexacarbonyl complexes in good yields. The analogous Nicholas reactions of potassium alkenyltrifluoroborates give 1,3-enyne dicobalt hexacarbonyl complexes in most cases, although the initial site of reaction can vary. Potassium vinyltrifluoroborate itself affords alkynylcyclopropane complexes.

Vinylogous Nicholas Reactions In The Synthesis Of Icetexane, Faveline, And Related Ring Systems, Izabela Kolodziej, James R. Green Jan 2011

Vinylogous Nicholas Reactions In The Synthesis Of Icetexane, Faveline, And Related Ring Systems, Izabela Kolodziej, James R. Green

Chemistry and Biochemistry Publications

The intramolecular vinylogous Nicholas reactions of aryl substituted acetoxy enyne-Co(2)(CO)(6) complexes afford tricyclic 6,7,6-ring systems and related systems in good yield.


Cyclohepta[De]Naphthalenes And The Rearranged Abietane Framework Of Microstegiol Via Nicholas Reaction Chemistry, Rafiq A. Taj, Anusha Abhayawardhana, James R. Green Jan 2009

Cyclohepta[De]Naphthalenes And The Rearranged Abietane Framework Of Microstegiol Via Nicholas Reaction Chemistry, Rafiq A. Taj, Anusha Abhayawardhana, James R. Green

Chemistry and Biochemistry Publications

Nicholas reactions on 2,7-dioxygenated naphthalenes give C-1 monosubstitution and C-1/C-8 disubstitution in most cases. From gamma-carbonyl cation monocondensation product 3b or alkyne-unsubstituted dicondensation product 4a, cyclohepta[de]naphthalenes bearing no substituents, gem-dimethyl substituents, and a ketone function, and the rearranged abietane framework of microstegiol may be prepared.


Tandem 4+3 Cycloaddition/Nucleophilic Trapping Reactions Of Butyne-1,4-Diether Dicobalt Hexacarbonyl Complexes, Yafan Lu, James R. Green Jan 2001

Tandem 4+3 Cycloaddition/Nucleophilic Trapping Reactions Of Butyne-1,4-Diether Dicobalt Hexacarbonyl Complexes, Yafan Lu, James R. Green

Chemistry and Biochemistry Publications

Butyne-1,4-diether hexacarbonyldicobalt complexes 1 undergo Lewis acid mediated 4+3 cycloadditions with allylsilanes, incorporating halide from the Lewis acid to give halocycloheptynes 3, 6, 7. A phenyl group may be incorporated in place of the halogen (to give 8) by use of benzene as solvent and with B(C6F5)(3) as the Lewis acid; chlorobenzene and toluene also participate in the process.


Cycloheptenyne Dicobalt Hexacarbonyl Complexes By Ring Closing Metathesis, James R. Green Jan 2001

Cycloheptenyne Dicobalt Hexacarbonyl Complexes By Ring Closing Metathesis, James R. Green

Chemistry and Biochemistry Publications

Hexacarbonyldicobalt complexes of cycloheptenynes (4) may be prepared by the ring closing metathesis of the corresponding acyclic dienes (2) using Grubbs' catalyst, (Cy3P)(2)Cl2Ru=CHPh. A cyclooctenyne complex (8) has also been prepared in the strictly analogous manner.
