Halogenated catechols from cycloaddition reactions of η4-(2-ethoxyvinylketene)iron(0) complexes with 1-haloalkynes

Recent progress in cobalt-mediated [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition reactions.

For many years, our research group has been interested in the new developments of cobalt-mediated cyclizations. In this article, our recent achievements in the field of inter- and intramolecular [2 + 2 + 2] cyclizations are compiled.

[(arene)Rh(cod)]+ Complexes as catalysts for [5+2] cycloaddition reactions.

Functionalized cyclobutenes via multicomponent thermal [2 + 2] cycloaddition reactions.

[reaction: see text] Enamine [2 + 2] cycloadditions can be achieved in useful yields simply by stirring a mixture of an aldehyde, diethylamine, a dialkyl fumarate, and potassium carbonate in acetonitrile at 25 degrees C, conditions that are compatible with the presence of a potential leaving group on the beta-position of the intermediate enamine. Methylation and elimination of the product cyclo...

Computational study of cycloaddition reactions on the SiC ( 1 0 0 ) - c ( 2 · 2 ) surface

Cycloaddition reactions between 1,3-butadiene and the C-terminated SiC(1 0 0)-c(2 · 2) surface have been addressed using quantum-chemical methods. The c(2 · 2) structure consists of ACBCA bridges between underlayer Si atoms which themselves form SiASi bonds. Of various possible reaction products, the one formed by a [2+ 4] reaction with the ACBCA bridge (giving a species resembling 1,4-cyclohex...

A computational study of cycloaddition reactions of d8 metal tetroxide (iron, ruthenium, osmium) complexes with C60.

The potential energy surfaces of the cycloaddition reactions MO(4)(NC(5)H(5))(2) + C(60)→ MO(4)(NC(5)H(5))(2)(C(60)) (M = Fe, Ru, and Os) have been studied at the B3LYP/LANL2DZ level of theory. It has been found that there should be two competing pathways in these reactions, which can be classified as a [6,5]-attack (path A) and a [6,6]-attack (path B). Our theoretical calculations indicate tha...
