Oxidative cleavage of mono-, di-, and trisubstituted olefins to methyl esters through ozonolysis in methanolic sodium hydroxide
摘要:
The ozonolysis of alkenes in methanolic NaOH or NaOMe with CH2Cl2 as cosolvent leads directly to methyl esters. The procedure has been used to prepare various alpha-, beta, and omega-alkoxy esters, acyloxy esters, and alpha- and beta-N-acyl and N-sulfonyl esters from the appropriate unsaturated ethers, esters, and amides. Other examples include the formation of dimethyl octanedioate from cyclooctene (75% yield), dimethyl nonanedioate and methyl nonanoate from methyl oleate (77 and 78%, respectively), and tetradecanoic acid gamma-lactone from 2-methyl-2-hexadecen-6-ol (80% yield).
General and Highly α-Regioselective Zinc-Mediated Prenylation of Aldehydes and Ketones
摘要:
A simple, efficient, and general alpha-prenylation approach for the synthesis of a variety of alpha-prenylated alcohols has been successfully developed. A wide range of alpha-prenylated alcohol derivatives could be obtained in good yields by highly alpha-regioselective zinc-mediated prenylation of various aldehydes and ketones with prenyl bromide at 120 degrees C in HMPA. By simply altering the reaciton solvent and temperature, the method allows the achievement of a highly notable opposite regiocontrol, providing the expected regiochemical product. The method provides a convenient route for the direct alpha-prenylation of carbonyl compounds in a highly alpha-regioselective manner using a cheap and convenient mediator. Two possible pathways are proposed to account for the formation of these synthetically difficult-to-obtain molecules.
Development of a Highly α-Regioselective Metal-Mediated Allylation Reaction in Aqueous Media: New Mechanistic Proposal for the Origin of α-Homoallylic Alcohols
This paper described a general method to obtain α-adduct homoallylic alcohols using indium, zinc, and tin in water. A new mechanism was proposed to account for the formation of these synthetically difficult-to-obtain molecules. Generally, this method can be performed with a wide range of aldehydes and allylic halides with just 6 equiv of water added, giving the α-adduct in high selectivities. To account
Isoprene reacts with aldehydes in the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd(OAc)2–4PPh3 or Pd(PPh3)4 and a stoichiometric amount of SnCl2 at 40–50 °C in AcOH–H2O to produce 1-substituted 2,2-dimethyl-3-buten-1-ols regioselectively.
[GRAPHICS]A novel In(OTf)(3)-catalyzed (3,5) oxonium-ene type cyclization for the facile construction of various multisubstituted tetrahydrofurans and tetrahydropyrans was successfully developed. Further mechanistic investigations unveiled an ln(OTf)(3)-catalyzed skeletal reorganization of the tetrahydrofuran to its thermodynamic isomer under thermal conditions.
