Abstract E /Z ‐selectivity. The reaction enables the synthesis of enantioenriched atropoisomeric 2‐aryl‐substituted 1,3‐dienes, which have seldom been examined in previous literature. Catalytically relevant alkenyl palladacycles were synthesized and characterized by X‐ray crystallography, and the energy profiles of the C(alkenyl)−H activation step and the stereoinduction model were elucidated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. -

Abstract Three new polynuclear clusters with the formulae [Mn10O4(OH)(OMe){(py)2C(O)2}2{(py)2C(OMe)(O)}4(MeCO2)6](ClO4)2(
1 ), Na[Mn12O2(OH)3(OMe){(py)2C(O)2}6{(py)2C(OH)(O)}2(MeCO2)2(H2O)10](ClO4)8(2 ) and [Mn12O4(OH)2{(py)2C(O)2}6{(py)2C(OMe)(O)}(MeCO2)3(NO3)3(H2O)(DMF)2](NO3)2(3 ) were prepared from the combination of di‐2‐pyridyl ketone, (py)2CO, with the aliphatic diols (1,3‐propanediol (pdH2) or 1,4‐butanediol (1,4‐bdH2)) in Mn carboxylate chemistry. The reported compounds do not include the aliphatic diols employed in this reaction scheme; however, their use is essential for the formation of1 –3 . The crystal structures of1 –3 are based on multilayer cores which, to our knowledge, are reported for the first time in Mn cluster chemistry. Direct current (dc ) magnetic susceptibility studies showed the presence of dominant antiferromagnetic exchange interactions within1 –3 . Alternating current (ac ) magnetic susceptibility studies revealed the presence of out‐of‐phase signals below 3.0 K for2 and3 indicating the slow relaxation of the magnetization vector, characteristic of single‐molecule magnets; theUeff value of2 was found to be 23 K and the preexponential factorτ0 ~7.6×10−9 s. -

Abstract The catalytic enantioselective synthesis of α‐chiral alkenes and alkynes represents a powerful strategy for rapid generation of molecular complexity. Herein, we report a transient directing group (TDG) strategy to facilitate site‐selective palladium‐catalyzed reductive Heck‐type hydroalkenylation and hydroalkynylation of alkenylaldehyes using alkenyl and alkynyl bromides, respectively, allowing for construction of a stereocenter at the δ‐position with respect to the aldehyde. Computational studies reveal the dual beneficial roles of rigid TDGs, such as L‐
tert ‐leucine, in promoting TDG binding and inducing high levels of enantioselectivity in alkene insertion with a variety of migrating groups. -

null (Ed.)The title complexes, (η 4 -cycloocta-1,5-diene)bis(1,3-dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene)iridium(I) iodide, [Ir(C 5 H 8 N 2 ) 2 (C 8 H 12 )]I, ( 1 ) and (η 4 -cycloocta-1,5-diene)bis(1,3-diethylimidazol-2-ylidene)iridium(I) iodide, [Ir(C 7 H 12 N 2 ) 2 (C 8 H 12 )]I, ( 2 ), were prepared using a modified literature method. After carrying out the oxidative addition of the amino acid L-proline to [Ir(COD)(IMe) 2 ]I in water and slowly cooling the reaction to room temperature, a suitable crystal of 1 was obtained and analyzed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction at 100 K. Although this crystal structure has previously been reported in the Pbam space group, it was highly disordered and precise atomic coordinates were not calculated. A single crystal of 2 was also obtained by heating the complex in water and letting it slowly cool to room temperature. Complex 1 was found to crystallize in the monoclinic space group C 2/ m , while 2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pccn , both with Z = 4.more » « less
