“…When the employed ratio of LiTMP: MgBr 2 was 1.5:1, the product ratio raised to 9:1 in favor of 90. This led to the discovery that β-magnesiation was possible with TMPMgBr and/or by (TMP) 2 Mg, referred to as the Hauser base. 82,83 This idea was further extrapolated upon by the Eaton group and these amide bases have demonstrated their utility in organic synthesis.…”

“…Scheschkewitz synthesized five-vertex cluster with one naked silicon atom 5 (a silicon analog of tricyclo[2.1.0.0 1,3 ]-pentane) 19 as red crystals in moderate yields by the reaction of triaryldisilenide 6 with 0.25 equiv of SiCl 4 (eq 3). 20 The 29 Si resonance due to the central silicon without substituents appeared at ¹124.8 ppm.…”

“…Molecules with nonclassical or unusual structures, bondings, or electronic properties 1 have attracted many experimental and theoretical chemists because exploration of such molecules is expected not only to lead to discovery of unprecedented reactivity and useful functions but also to have a possibility to evolve the concept of structures and bondings. One of the most fascinating organic molecules bearing nonclassical structure is [1.1.1]propellane A ( Figure 1).…”

“…One of the most fascinating organic molecules bearing nonclassical structure is [1.1.1]propellane A ( Figure 1). 2 This molecule has bridgehead carbon atoms with an umbrella-type geometry B 1,3 (shown in boldface) where all bonds point to a hemisphere, which has been often expressed as an inverted (tetrahedral) geometry. The bridgehead CC bond (inverted σ bond) in [1.1.1]propellanes shows considerably high reactivity with biradical (A¤) or ionic (A¤¤) characters compared with normal CC σ bond in normal tetrahedral geometry C because of the poor overlap between orbitals of the bridgehead carbon atoms in the inverted geometry.…”

“…One of the interesting features is the existence of the bond-stretch isomers, a short bond (SB) isomer and a long bond (LB) isomer, which differ primarily in the distance between the bridgehead atoms. 1,3 Theoretically, the bridge bond in SB isomer is predicted to be a normal bent σ bond with large RSiSi angle ª and small interflap angle º (Figure 2), while the bond in LB is an inverted σ bond bearing significant singlet biradical character with small ª and large º.…”
In the last decade, several stable silicon compounds with nonclassical inverted geometry around silicon atoms have been synthesized. Their unusual structures, bonding, and reactivity have been investigated extensively by X-ray analysis, spectroscopy, and theoretical calculations. In this highlight review, recent progress on chemistry of silicon compounds with inverted geometry around silicon atoms is summarized.
A highly convergent, eco-friendly and straightforward synthesis of new O-fused heterocycles, functionalized indeno[1,2-b]furan derivatives was successfully accomplished through a one-pot four-component cascade reaction involving, ninhydrin, malononitrile, diketene and various primary amines in the presence of a catalytic quantity of triethylamine in ethanol at ambient temperature, in one pot fashion. This new efficient cascade reaction generates two rings by the simultaneous construction of C-N (one), CO (two) and CC (two) multiple bonds, presumably through a sequence of Knoevenagel reaction/ Michael addition/intramolecular O-cyclization and imine-enamine/keto-enol tautomerization. The merits of this protocol are highlighted as utilization of inexpensive commercially accessible starting materials, operational simplicity, atom economy, clean reaction profile, simple work-up procedure being conducted at ambient temperature in relatively short reaction times, preventing chromatographic purification, giving excellent yields, and tolerance to a wide variety of functional groups.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
