Mild Reaction Conditions for the Terminal Deuteration of Alkynes
摘要:
Routinely employed syntheses of terminally deuterated alkynes often utilize strong bases (i.e., LDA, n-BuLi, or Grignard reagents) or low (i.e., -78 degrees C) or elevated (i.e., 56 degrees C) reaction temperatures; furthermore many of these procedures afford average yields and in some cases less than optimum deuterium incorporation. Herein we report the application of alternative extremely mild reaction conditions that readily afford quantitative yields of terminally deuterated alkynes in a matter of minutes with exceptional isotope incorporation at ambient temperature.
Synthesis and carbene decomposition of functionally substituted diazoacetate esters. 6. Propargyl diazoacetate
摘要:
A synthesis of propargyl diazoacetate (I) was carried out and its chemical transformations were studied. The reaction of (I) in the presence of Rh(OAc)2 at 25-degrees-C with 1-pentyne gives the propargyl ester of 1-propylcyclopropene-3-carboxylic acid in 80% yield, while reaction with 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene at 60-degrees-C results in the propargyl ester of tetramethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid in 10% yield. Compound (I) reacts under the same conditions (35-60-degrees-C) with ether, CH2Cl2 and water, with the formation of propargyl esters of ethoxy-acetic, 2,3-dichloropropionic, and a mixture of glycols and 2-{[(propyn-2-yl)oxycarbonyl]methoxy} acetic acids in yields of up to 35%. A spontaneous oligomerization of (I) was observed as a result of a dipolar [1, 3]-cycloaddition of the CH = N2 fragment of one molecule of (I) to the terminal-triple bond of the second molecule with the formation of oligomers of 3-hydroxymethylpyrazole-5-carboxylic acid.
