These ligands were applied in palladium-catalyzed allylic alkylation and Suzuki cou- pling of chlorobenzene with phenylboronic acid. Results were compared with those reported previously using ligands hav- ing the phosphorus atom attached to the 4-position of benzoferrocene. This structural modification resulted in an increase of activity of the ligands in allylic alkylation reaction but a decrease of activity in Suzuki coupling reactions. The underly- ing reasons are analyzed with the help of X-ray single crystal determined structures and CO stretching frequencies in the IR spectra of complexes between the ligands and Mo(CO)5.","PeriodicalId":23020,"journal":{"name":"The Open Organic Chemistry Journal","volume":"74 1","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90051530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently it was found that many higher diamondoids (contain- ing four to eleven adamantane units) are present in petroleum and can be isolated by a series of methods that include HPLC and GC techniques. We develop QSPR equations using molecular descriptors derived from the topology and geo- metry of diamondoids, by means of dualist graphs consisting of vertices placed at the centers of adamantane cells forming the diamondoid, and of edges connecting vertices centered in adamantane cells sharing faces. From distance (or distance- distance) matrices encoding the topology and geometry of diamondoids one can obtain distance-sums, distance-distance sums, or eigenvectors as molecular descriptors characterizing the diamondoids. These descriptors afford satisfactory cor- relations with GC and HPLC retention data, and may also facilitate the identification of diamondoid isomers.","PeriodicalId":23020,"journal":{"name":"The Open Organic Chemistry Journal","volume":"96 1","pages":"13-31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91276026","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A C-4 functionalized indole derivative was prepared by application of the Leimgruber-Batcho reaction. Several three-carbon chains were subsequently installed at the indole C-3 position. In the first strategy employed, a Mannich reaction was followed by the creation of a C-C bond by phosphine-induced generation of a 3-methyleneindolenine species, which was trapped by diethyl malonate. Alternatively, a Vilsmeier formylation at C-3 was followed by Knoevenagel or Wittig reactions or by treatment with ethyl diazoacetate in the presence of a Lewis acid. Direct introduction of the three-carbon chain at C-3 using a Lewis acid-catalyzed Michael reaction was also achieved. Further functionalization of the benzylic position attached to C-4 by attachment of a nitro group was carried out, but preparation of a tricyclic welwistatin fragment by intramolecular nitroalkane acylation or in- tramolecular Henry reactions was not possible.","PeriodicalId":23020,"journal":{"name":"The Open Organic Chemistry Journal","volume":"5 1","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74961107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
