Catalytic cycloalumination of (3β,5α)-3-vinylcholestane and (3α,5α)-3-allylcholestane with Et3Al catalyzed by Cp2ZrCl2 was performed for the first time to give previously unknown aluminacyclopentanes in ∼90% yield; these products were converted in situ to carbo- and heterocyclic (5α)-cholestane derivatives.

Phosphorescent gold(iii) complexes possess long-lived emissive excited states, making them ideal for use as molecular sensors and photosensitizers for organic transformations. Literature reports indicate that gold(iii) emitters exhibit good catalytic activity in homogeneous photochemical reactions. Heterogeneous metal-organic framework (MOF)-supported gold(iii) photocatalysts are considered to show high recyclability in photochemical reactions and potentially provide new selectivities.

Bidentate [C,N] and Tridentate [C,N,S] Palladium Cyclometallated Complexes as Pre-Catalysts in Cross-Coupling Reactions.

ChemistryOpen

November 2024

Departamento de Química Inorgánica, Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, E-, 15782, Santiago de Compostela, Spain.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on the synthesis of palladacycles (both dinuclear and mononuclear) using halide-substituted Schiff base ligands, which involve C-H activation when treated with palladium(II) compounds.
  • Dinuclear complexes formed through metathesis with sodium chloride are converted into μ-chloride dinuclear complexes, which then react with phosphines to yield various phosphine derivatives.
  • The synthesized compounds were characterized using techniques like microanalysis, spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction, and their efficacy as pre-catalysts in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction was evaluated, highlighting the best-performing complexes.

Institut für Anorganische Chemie, Universität Stuttgart, Pfaffenwaldring 55, 70569 Stuttgart, Germany.

Article Synopsis
  • Triazole-based mesoionic imines (MIIs) are a novel class of compounds with unique electronic structures and chemical reactions, exhibiting strong hydrogen bonding that influences their C-H activation selectivity and UV-vis properties.
  • The cyclometalated iridium complexes with MIIs can form either unsaturated compounds or dimers, depending on their substituents, and can react with various substrates, including rare Cp*Ir complexes with CO and ethyl ligands.
  • These complexes have the potential for innovative catalytic applications, such as transfer hydrogenation and producing unique bicyclic compounds through reactions with alkynes, highlighting the promising reactivity of MIIs in organometallic chemistry.

Cyclometalated ruthenium(II)-complex-catalyzed selective oxidative scission of olefins to carbonyls is described. A strong C-donor ligand, paired with a rigid backbone and redox activity of ruthenium, provided high catalytic activity and a long lifetime for olefin oxidation. The catalyst tolerates numerous functional groups and applies to challenging biomass-, natural-product-, sugar-, amino-acid-, and fatty-acid-derived substrates.

Oxidative cleavage of olefins is a useful reaction in organic synthesis. The most well-known catalytic system is the osmium based Lemieux-Johnson catalyst, which generally requires high catalyst loading and tends to suffer from rapid overoxidation to produce the acid predominantly. Hence, the development of a mild, general, and selective method toward the oxidative cleavage of alkenes to carbonyl compounds is highly desired.
