Nuclear acetates

Eberson and co-workers590-594 have made detailed studies of the Pd(II)-catalyzed nuclear acetoxylation of arenes. The conditions for optimum yields of nuclear acetate were established using p-xylene as a model compound. It was... 

Mercury(II) acetate tends to mercurate all the free nuclear positions in pyrrole, furan and thiophene to give derivatives of type (74). The acetoxymercuration of thiophene has been estimated to proceed ca. 10 times faster than that of benzene. Mercuration of rings with deactivating substituents such as ethoxycarbonyl and nitro is still possible with this reagent, as shown by the formation of compounds (75) and (76). Mercury(II) chloride is a milder mercurating agent, as illustrated by the chloromercuration of thiophene to give either the 2- or 2,5-disubstituted product (Scheme 25). 

Numerous variations of this reaction have been studied, principally those involving a prior inclusion of the nuclear sulfur atom in a thioacylamino compound. Thus, thiobenz-amido acetaldehyde diethyl acetal (8) underwent ring closure to 2-phenylthiazole (9) on gentle heating (57JCS1556). Similarly, iV-thioacyl a-amino acids also undergo ready ring closure to thiazoles. 

The bromination of 5,8-dimethoxyquinoxaline in methanol gives a mixture of 6-bromo and 6,7-dibromo compounds/ Treatment of 2-methylquinoxaline with bromine in acetic acid yields a mixture of 27% of 2 bromomethyl- and 37% of 2-dibromomethyl-quinoxaline." Thus in the absence of powerfully activating groups, side-chain rather than nuclear substitution takes place.

To illustrate the utility of the MWBD method, a series of commercial polyvinyl acetates and low density polyethylenes are analyzed. Either kinetic models or 13c nuclear magnetic resonance results are used to estimate the branching structural parameter. 

Online detection using 4H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a detection mode that has become increasingly practical. In a recent application, cell culture supernatant was monitored on-line with 1-dimensional NMR for trehalose, P-D-pyranose, P-D-furanose, succinate, acetate and uridine.33 In stopped-flow mode, column fractions can also be analyzed by 2-D NMR. Reaction products of the preparation of the neuromuscular blocking compound atracurium besylate were separated on chiral HPLC and detected by 4H NMR.34 Ten isomeric peaks were separated on a cellulose-based phase and identified by online NMR in stopped-flow mode. 

The unsymmetrical complexes LnPcPc can also be prepared in a stepwise manner (Scheme 8.1, D, upper part) [87, 112-114]. Treatment of phthalonitrile with excess of Lu(OAc)3- H2Oand DBU gives the half-sandwich compound LuPc(0Ac)(H20)2. The latter complex reacts with Na2Nc in 1-chloronaphthalene leading to the formation of LuPcNc [87]. Similarly, the template reaction of unsubstituted and crown-substituted phthalonitriles with lutetium acetate was carried out in boding w-hexanol in the presence of DBU [115-117]. Bi- and tri-nuclear [118] lutetium complexes could also be obtained following this approach [111, 119].
