Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The results and the analysis of reported data suggest that the outcome of the reaction between a diazoalkane and a late transition metal complex can be anticipated considering steric requirements relevant to eta(1)-C diazos complex formation.
Abstract: PCP ligand (1,3-bis-[(diisopropyl-phosphanyl)-methyl]-benzene), and PCN ligand ({3-[(di-tert-butyl-phosphanyl)-methyl]-benzyl}-diethyl-amine) based rhodium dinitrogen complexes (1 and 2, respectively) react with phenyl diazomethane at room temperature to give PCP and PCN−Rh carbene complexes (3 and 5, respectively). At low temperature (−70 °C), PCP and PCN phenyl diazomethane complexes (4 and 6, respectively) are formed upon addition of phenyl diazomethane to 1 and 2. In these complexes, the diazo moiety is η1 coordinated through the terminal nitrogen atom. Decomposition of complexes 4 and 6 at low temperatures leads only to a relatively small amount of the corresponding carbene complexes, the major products of decomposition being the dinitrogen complexes 1 and 2 and stilbene. This and competition experiments (decomposition of 6 in the presence of 1) suggests that phenyl diazomethane can dissociate under the reaction conditions and attack the metal center through the diazo carbon producing a η1-C bound di...

TL;DR: N-Nosyl-alpha-amino acid methyl esters are methylated quantitatively with diazomethane and coupled with N-Fmoc amino acid chlorides to afford the corresponding dipeptides.
Abstract: N-Nosyl-α-amino acid methyl esters are methylated quantitatively with diazomethane. After proper deprotection of the amino function by treatment with the reagent system mercaptoacetic acid/sodium methoxide, the obtained N-methyl amino acid methyl esters are coupled with N-Fmoc amino acid chlorides to afford the corresponding dipeptides. The obtained products do not show any detectable extent of racemization by 1H NMR and HPLC.

TL;DR: The discussion focuses on the basic derivatisation reactions used to convert herbicides to derivatives to make them analysable by gas chromatography, and possibly to reduce detection limits and/or increase extraction recovery from aqueous samples.
Abstract: This paper reviews derivatisation processes applied in chromatographic determination of acidic herbicides (with carboxyl and phenol groups), mainly in aqueous environmental samples. The discussion focuses on the basic derivatisation reactions used to convert herbicides to derivatives to make them analysable by gas chromatography, and possibly to reduce detection limits and/or increase extraction recovery from aqueous samples. The reactions are transesterification, esterification, silylation, alkylation, and extractive and pyrolytic alkylation. The reagents used to conduct the reactions are numerous. Diazomethane is a very efficient methylation reagent but explosive and toxic. Methyl iodide also ensures rapid and efficient methylation. Benzyl bromide can be used directly in water but derivatisation yield is low and reproducibility is poor. Butyl chloroformate and dimethyl sulfite can also be used for derivatisation in water, and acetic anhydride can be used for in-situ derivatisation of phenolic herbicides. For increasing selectivity of GC detection pentafluorobenzyl bromide (for ECD) and (2-cyanethyl)dimethyl(diethylamino)silane (for NPD) have been applied. Very characteristic ions are produced in mass spectra if silyl groups are introduced, e.g. by using bis(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide. Tetramethylammonium, trimethylphenylammonium, tetraalkylammonium, and trimethylsulfonium hydroxides and salts can by used for derivatisation at elevated temperature in the GC injection port. Extractive alkylation is relatively efficient if tetraalkylammonium salts with long chain alkyl groups are used.

TL;DR: Chiral bis(oxazoline)-copper(I) complexes were found to be effective catalysts for the enantioselective cyclopropanation reaction of trans-cinnamate esters exploiting an argon flow mediated diazomethane addition method as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Chiral bis(oxazoline)–copper(I) complexes were found to be effective catalysts for the enantioselective cyclopropanation reaction of trans-cinnamate esters exploiting an argon flow mediated diazomethane addition method. After optimization of the catalyst structure, good yields and enantiomeric excesses were obtained with electron-poor methyl cinnamate derivatives. Sterically demanding esters gave lower yields and enantioselectivities. The correlation between the product enantiopurities and the σ+ values of the aromatic para-substituents was shown to be linear in a Hammet-type plot.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that N-metallated 9, the kinetic product of the reaction, irreversibly rearranges at high temperature in solution to give the thermodynamically preferred C-lithiated isomer.
Abstract: (Trimethylsilyl)diazomethane (1-H) reacts with nBuLi in THF at elevated temperature to afford (previously reported) 1-Li·3/2THF. However, reaction in hexane/TMEDA at low temperature affords instead the N-lithiate Me3SiCNNLi·TMEDA (9), which is a novel “open” pseudo-cubic tetramer in the solid state. Variable-temperature NMR spectroscopy suggests that N-metallated 9, apparently the kinetic product of the reaction, irreversibly rearranges at high temperature in solution to give the thermodynamically preferred C-lithiated isomer. These observations, supported by DFT calculations, influence our understanding of the reactivity of lithiated diazomethanes towards aryl isothiocyanates, suggesting as they do that previously observed product selectivity in these reactions is critically dependent on temperature control exercised during the process.

TL;DR: In this paper, the reaction of pentacyclo with diazomethane (9a) and 2-diazopropane(9b) gave the 1,3,4-thiadiazolines 12a and 12c, which subsequently were used as precursors of reactive thiocarbonyl ylides 13a,b, respectively.
Abstract: Reaction of pentacyclo[5.4.0.02,6.0 3 , 1 0 .0 5 . 8 ]undecane-8-thione (7) with diazomethane (9a) and 2-diazopropane (9b) afforded the 1,3,4-thiadiazolines 12a and 12c, which subsequently were used as precursors of reactive thiocarbonyl ylides 13a,b, respectively. Diphenyldiazomethane reacted rapidly with 7 to yield thiirane 14c as the final product. When decomposition of 12a or 12c was carried out in the presence of dipolarophiles, such as TCNE, DMAD or N-methylmaleinimide, new cage-functionalized heterocvcles were obtained.

TL;DR: In this paper, 2H-Pyran-2-ones were transformed with various hydrazines into (E)- or (Z)-α,β-didehydro-α-amino acid (DDAA) derivatives containing a highly substituted pyrazolyl moiety attached at the β-position.
Abstract: 2H-Pyran-2-ones 1 were transformed with various hydrazines into (E)- or (Z)-α,β-didehydro-α-amino acid (DDAA) derivatives 4 (and 7) containing a highly substituted pyrazolyl moiety attached at the β-position. With heterocyclic hydrazines, the products 4 were accompanied also by decarboxylated enamines E-6. In order to separate (E/Z)-mixtures of acids, they were transformed to the corresponding methyl esters 9 and 10 by the application of diazomethane. Catalytic hydrogenation under high pressures with Pd/C as a catalyst resulted in the formation of racemic alanine derivatives 11.

TL;DR: In this article, enolized enol forms of diazo esters with diazomethane were obtained by O-methylation of enol form of DIAZO esters, which undergo heterocyclization into 3,5-disubstituted 4-hydroxypyrazoles.
Abstract: Ethyl 5-aryl-2-diazo-3,5-dioxopentanoates and 1,5-diaryl-2-diazopentane-1,3,5-triones are partially enolized in solutions. By O-methylation of enol forms of diazo esters with diazomethane ethyl 5-aryl-2-diazo-5-methoxy-3-oxopent-4-enoates were prepared. Concurrently with the O-methylation the diazo esters undergo heterocyclization into 3,5-disubstituted 4-hydroxypyrazoles which under the reaction condition suffer O- and N-methylation by excess diazomethane. 3,5-Diaroyl-4-hydroxypyrazoles were also obtained from diazopentanetriones but here triethylamine served as the cyclization reagent.

TL;DR: In this paper, a cyclic substituent was added to cephalosporin sulfoxides to synthesize enone-or dienone-type moieties.
Abstract: Cephalosporin sulfoxides 1 and 2 containing an enone- or dienone-type moiety at position 2 were treated with 2,3-dimethylbuta-1,3-diene or diethyl azodicarboxylate to synthesize, in DielsAlder reactions, the new cephalosporin derivatives 4 and 5 with a cyclic substituent (Scheme 1). Under the same conditions, ethyl diazoacetate and diazomethane reacted differently: while reactions of 1 and 3 with the former lead to compounds 7–10 corresponding to the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition route (Scheme 2), diazomethane produced only enol ethers 12 and 13, respectively (Scheme 3). This difference could be rationalized by assuming two different reaction pathways: an orbital-symmetry-controlled concerted cycloaddition and an ionic one.
