The Question of Cyclic Versus Acyclic Ions: The Structure of +. Gas Phase Ions
Dass, Chhabil,Gross, Michael L.
, p. 34 - 40 (1985)
The extent of isomerization of acyclic and cyclic gas phase radical cations of composition +. has been investigated by using collisionally activated dissociation spectroscopy.Both electron and charge exchange ionization were employed to form the ions with various internal energies.The +. ions investigated consisted of ionized phenylbutenes, ring-substituted methyl derivatives of allylbenzene and phenylpropene, 1-methyl-isopropenylbenzene, benzylcyclopropane, phenylcyclobutane, tetralin and 1-methylindan.The 1-methylindan and tetralin radical cations are the most stable of the C10H12 isomeric radical ions.The +. formed from acyclic olefins having the double bond in conjugation with the aromatic ring retain the initial structure to a significant extent.However, ions derived from olefins with the double bond out of conjugation with the benzene ring preferentially cyclize to stable five- and six-membered cyclic ions.Ring opening of small-ring cyclic ions, such as ionized benzylcyclopropane and phenylcyclobutane, occurs, followed by ring closure to the tetralin radical cation.

Chemoselective deoxygenation of carbonyls and alcohols using hydrogen by heterogeneous base-metal catalysts is crucial for the sustainable production of fine chemicals and biofuels. We report an aluminum metal-organic framework (DUT-5) node support cobalt(II) hydride, which is a highly chemoselective and recyclable heterogeneous catalyst for deoxygenation of a range of aromatic and aliphatic ketones, aldehydes, and primary and secondary alcohols, including biomass-derived substrates under 1 bar H2. The single-site cobalt catalyst (DUT-5-CoH) was easily prepared by postsynthetic metalation of the secondary building units (SBUs) of DUT-5 with CoCl2 followed by the reaction of NaEt3BH. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES) indicated the presence of CoII and AlIII centers in DUT-5-CoH and DUT-5-Co after catalysis. The coordination environment of the cobalt center of DUT-5-Co before and after catalysis was established by extended X-ray fine structure spectroscopy (EXAFS) and density functional theory. The kinetic and computational data suggest reversible carbonyl coordination to cobalt preceding the turnover-limiting step, which involves 1,2-insertion of the coordinated carbonyl into the cobalt-hydride bond. The unique coordination environment of the cobalt ion ligated by oxo-nodes within the porous framework and the rate independency on the pressure of H2 allow the deoxygenation reactions chemoselectively under ambient hydrogen pressure.

A facile and effective system has been developed for the regio- and chemoselective ring-opening/electrophilic functionalization of cyclopropanes through C?C bond activation by [bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodo]benzene with the aid of the Lewis basic promoter p-toluenesulfonamide. The p-toluenesulfonamide-promoted system works well for a wide range of cyclopropanes, resulting in the formation of 1,3-diol products in good yields and regioselectivity.
