A process for producing an aromatic aldehyde compound represented by a general formula (3):
(wherein R' and n are as defined below), which comprises reacting a benzyl compound represented by a general formula (1):
(wherein R may represents hydrogen atom, n represents an integer of 1 to 6, and R' may be the same or different and represent a hydrogen atom or an alkyl gorup, an alkyl group or a phenyl group which may have a substituent) with an oxy-compound of bromine represented by the formula (2):
MBrO m (2)
(wherein M represents a hydrogen atom or a metal atom, and m represents an integer of 1 to 3) in the presence of an acid catalyst. According to this method, an aromatic aldehyde compound can be produced in high selectivity by a simple operation without using an expensive catalyst or transition metal.
Abstract:
One aspect of the present invention relates to novel ligands for transition metals. A second aspect of the present invention relates to the use of catalysts comprising these ligands in transition metal-catalyzed carbon-heteroatom and carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions. The subject processes provide improvements in many features of the transition metal-catalyzed reactions, including the range of suitable substrates, reaction conditions, and efficiency.
Abstract:
A catalyst comprising a cyclic acylurea compound having a cyclic acylurea skeleton represented by the general formula (I): (I) [wherein R is hydrogen or a hydroxyl-protecting group; G is carbon or nitrogen; and n is 1 or 2, with the proviso that when n is 2, two G’s may be the same or different]. The catalyst may consist of a combination of the above cyclic acylurea compound and a metal compound. Reaction of (A) a radical-forming compound with (B) a radical-capturing compound in the presence of the above catalyst gives an addition or replacement product of the compound (B) with the compound (A) or derivatives thereof. According to the invention, organic compounds can be produced through addition or replacement reaction under mild conditions at high selectivity and in high yield.
Abstract:
A process for producing a dicarboxylic acid compound represented by the formula (4): wherein R 1 and R 2 are the same or different and each represents lower alkyl and the wavy line indicates that this compound is the E- or Z-isomer or a mixture of them, characterized by reacting a compound represented by the formula (2): wherein R 1 , R 2 and the wavy line have the same meanings as the above, and one of X 2 and X 3 represents hydrogen and the other represents halogen, with nitrophenol represented by the formula (3): in the presence of a base; a process for producing a nitrochromone compound represented by the formula (5): wherein R 1 has the same meaning as the above, characterized by reacting the dicarboxylic acid compound or carboxylic acid thereof with an acid; a process for producing an aminochromone compound which comprises reducing the nitrochromone compound; and a process for producing an amidochromone compound which comprises acylating the aminochromone compound are provided.
Abstract:
The family of dyes of the invention are fluoresceins and rhodols that are directly substituted on one or more aromatic carbons by fluorine. These fluorine-substituted fluorescent dyes possess greater photostability and have lower sensitivity to pH changes in the physiological range of 6-8 than do non-fluorinated dyes, exhibit less quenching when conjugated to a substance, and possess additional advantages. The dyes of the invention are useful as detectable tracers and for preparing conjugates of organic and inorganic substances.
Abstract:
a,ß,ß-Trifluorostyrene and derivatives thereof synthesized in two steps from 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethylene. In the first step, 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethylene is reacted with a base, a metal salt such as zinc chloride and an optionally amine to form a trifluorovinyl metal complex. In the second step, the trifluorostyrene or derivative is obtained by reacting the trifluorovinyl metal complex with an aryl transfer agent such as, for example, an aryl triflate or an aryl halide, in the presence of a metal catalyst and optionally a coordinating ligand. Both steps may be carried out in one reactor.
Abstract:
A catalyst of the invention includes a cyclic acylurea compound having a cyclic acylurea skeleton represented by following Formula (I): wherein R is a hydrogen atom or a hydroxyl-protecting group; n is 1 or 2; G is a carbon atom or a nitrogen atom, where two Gs are the same or different when n is 2. The catalyst may include the cyclic acylurea compound and a metallic compound in combination. In the presence of the catalyst, (A) a compound capable of forming a radical is allowed to react with (B) a radical scavenging compound and thereby yields an addition or substitution reaction product of the compound (A) and the compound (B) or a derivative thereof. This catalyst can produce an organic compound with a high selectivity in a high yield as a result of, for example, an addition or substitution reaction under mild conditions.
