Lewis acids control regioselectivity in the alkylation of epi-chlorohydrin and the stereochemistry of an alkyne addition to set the C24/C23 anti relationship. These advances facilitate an efficient total synthesis of bullatacin in 13.3% overall yield from commercial starting materials.
The annulation reaction between various indoles and 2-alkoxycyclopropanoate esters is reported. Both high efficiency and complete stereochemical control were observed in some cases with this annulation process. A single stereocenter on the cyclopropane controls the diastereoselective formation of up to four new stereocenters. A different reaction course was observed with 3-substituted indole substrates, and an intervening C-3 to C-2-migration process arose that gives synthetically useful C-2 alkylation indole products.
Silica (SiO2) is considered as a promising candidate anode material for next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) owing to its low cost, abundant reserve on Earth, and relatively high theoretical specific capacity. However, the development of SiO2-based anode materials has been impeded by their poor electrical conductivity and sluggish charge-transfer kinetics. Herein, porous SiO2/tin (SiO2@Sn) composites with tunable SiO2 to Sn molar ratios are fabricated using a scalable, simple, and low-cost ball-milling and low-temperature thermal-melting combined method. It is found that the Sn phase can significantly improve the diffusion and migration kinetics of Li in the composites, whereas the SiO2 to Sn molar ratio plays a key role in the mechanical integrity and subsequent cycling behaviors of the composite electrodes. By optimizing the molar ratio of SiO2/Sn to 10:1, the synergistic effect of Li storage between SiO2 and Sn can lead to the simultaneous achievement of improved Li kinetics and ensured mechanical integrity, contributing to the excellent electrochemical performance of the composite with a large reversible capacity of 613 mAh g–1 at 100 mA g–1, a remarkable rate capability of 450 mAh g–1 retained at 1000 mA g–1, and long-term cycling durability with ∼95% capacity retention over 200 cycles.
The aerobic oxidation of 5-hydroxy pentenes to trans-tetrahydrofurans (THFs), the Mukaiyama oxidation, has in recent years emerged as a powerful tool in synthetic chemistry. In this report we describe the first crystal structures of 2,4-dioxo-alkanoic acid dialkylamide complexes for both Co(II) and Co(III) salts. The Co(II) structures show an unprecedented arrangement of atoms, with a central Co(II)(H 2 O) 6 flanked by two Co(II) atoms each coordinated with three anionic chelating ligands. The dimeric Co(III) structures show two anionic chelating ligands and bridging hydroxyl groups.Key words: aerobic oxidation, trans-tetrahydrofuran (THF), cobalt, X-ray crystallography, oxidation, coordination.
