Article Abstract
General procedures for the rhodium-catalyzed annulation of aryl/heteroaryl -pivaloyl hydroxamic acids and norbornadiene have been developed. Employing norbornadiene as an acetylene equivalent enables utilization of diverse heterocyclic substrates for this transformation which fail to react or undergo competitive Lossen rearrangement under previously reported conditions. Microwave heating significantly reduces reaction times compared to conventional protocols and allows a one-step process to be realized. The conditions described herein have been adapted for gram-scale synthesis and applied to the formal synthesis of Pfizer clinical candidates.

The photochromic norbornadiene/quadricyclane pair is a promising system for molecular solar thermal (MOST) energy storage, with which solar energy may be converted, stored, and released as heat in one integral molecular system. Herein, we present the synthesis of mono-, bis-, and tris-norbornadiene derivatives with alkynylbenzene and alkynylnaphthalene core units, along with studies of their photochemical properties. The target compounds were synthesized by Sonogashira-Hagihara coupling reactions of 2-bromonorbornadiene and the corresponding arylacetylenes.

A broad study on [4 + 1]- and [4 + 2]-cycloaddition reactions of a thiazole-2-thione-based 1,4-diphosphinine (1) is reported, with a special focus on reversible reactions. Reactions of 1 with group 13 carbenoids NacNacM (M = Al and Ga) afford [4 + 1] adducts that can be classified as Al and Ga phosphides or as 7-metalla-1,4-norbornadienes. Reactions of 1 with alkynes and alkenes result in [4 + 2]-cycloaddition, affording 1,4-diphosphabarrelenes.

Molecular solar thermal (MOST) energy storage systems are getting increased attention related to renewable energy storage applications. Particularly, 2,3-difunctionalized norbornadiene-quadricyclane (NBD-QC) switches bearing a nitrile (CN) group as one of the two substituents are investigated as promising MOST candidates thanks to their high energy storage densities and their red-shifted absorbance. Moreover, such NBD systems can be prepared in large quantities (a requirement for MOST-device applications) in flow through Diels-Alder reaction between cyclopentadiene and appropriately functionalized propynenitriles.

The ruthenium-catalyzed [2 + 2] and homo Diels-Alder [2 + 2 + 2] cycloadditions of norbornadiene with disubstituted alkynes are investigated using density functional theory (DFT). These DFT calculations provide a mechanistic explanation for observed reactivity trends with different functional groups. Alkynyl phosphonates and norbornadiene form the [2 + 2 + 2] cycloadduct, while other functionalized alkynes afford the respective [2 + 2] cycloadduct, in excellent agreement with experimental results.
