Structures of nine oxygenated 4-methylene sterols from Hachijo marine sponge Theonella swinhoei

Nine new sterols have been isolated from a marine sponge, Theonella swinhoei.Of these, seven sterols were found to be conicasterol derivatives oxygenated at carbon-7 and/or carbon-15.The other two were (24R)-7β,8β-epoxy-14α-methoxy-4-methylene-24-methylcholestan-3β-ol and (24R)-8,14-seco-8,14-dioxo-4-methylene-24-methylcholestan-3β-ol. - Keywords: marine sterol; 4-methylene sterol; conicasterol derivatives; Theonella swinhoei; marine sponge

Sterically hindered (pyridyl)benzamidine palladium(II) complexes: Syntheses, structural studies, and applications as catalysts in the methoxycarbonylation of olefins

Reactions of ligands (E)-N′-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-N-(4-methylpyridin-2-yl)benzimidamide (L1), (E)-N′-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-N-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)benzimidamide (L2), (E)-N′-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-N-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)benzimidamide (L3), (E)-N′-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-N-(4-methylpyridin-2-yl)benzimidamide (L4), and (E)-N-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)-N′-phenylbenzimidamide (L5) with [Pd(NCMe)2Cl2] furnished the corresponding palladium(II) precatalysts (Pd1–Pd5), in good yields. Molecular structures of Pd2 and Pd3 revealed that the ligands coordinate in a N^N bidentate mode to afford square planar compounds. Activation of the palladium(II) complexes with para-tolyl sulfonic acid (PTSA) afforded active catalysts in the methoxycarbonylation of a number of alkene. The resultant catalytic activities were controlled by the both the complex structure and alkene substrate. While aliphatic substrates favored the formation of linear esters (>70%), styrene substrate resulted in the formation of predominantly branched esters of up to 91%.

Visible light-driven Giese reaction with alkyl tosylates catalysed by nucleophilic cobalt

The scope of the Giese reaction is expanded using readily available alkyl tosylates as substrates and nucleophilic cobalt(i) catalysts under visible-light irradiation. The reaction proceeds preferentially with less bulky primary alkyl tosylates. This unique reactivity enables the regio-selective Giese reaction of polyol derivatives.

Metathesis of renewable polyene feedstocks – Indirect evidences of the formation of catalytically active ruthenium allylidene species

Cross-metathesis (CM) of conjugated polyenes, such as 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (1) and α-eleostearic acid methyl ester (2) with several olefins, including 1-hexene, dimethyl maleate and cis-stilbene as model compounds has been carried out using (1,3-bis-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-2-imidazolidinylidene)-dichloro(o-isopropoxyphenylmethylene)ruthenium (Hoveyda-Grubbs 2nd generation, HG2) catalyst. The feasibility of these reactions is demonstrated by the observed high conversions and reasonable yields. Thus, regardless of the relatively low electron density, =CH–CH= conjugated units of molecules, including compound 2 as a sustainable, non-foodstuff source, can be utilized as building blocks for the synthesis of various value-added chemicals via olefin metathesis. DFT-studies and the product spectrum of the self-metathesis of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene suggest that a Ru η1-allylidene complex is the active species in the reaction.
