Titanocene(III) Chloride Mediated Radical-Induced Addition to Baylis−Hillman Adducts: Synthesis of (E)- and (Z)-Trisubstituted Alkenes and α-Methylene/Arylidene δ-Lactones
摘要:
Baylis-Hillman adduct underwent smooth radical-induced condensation with activated bromo compounds and epoxides using titanocene(III) chloride (CP2TiCl) as the radical generator. The reactions of activated bromo compounds with 3-acetoxy-2-methylene alkanoates provided (E)-alkenes exclusively, whereas similar reactions with 3-acetoxy-2-methylenealkanenitriles led to (Z)-alkenes as the major product. The reactions of epoxides with Baylis-Hillman adduct furnished alpha-methylene/arylidene-delta-lactones in good yield via addition followed by in situ lactonization.
Utilizing Lewis base/photoredox dual catalysis, carbon radicals generated from either alkylboronic acids or esters were coupled with Baylis–Hillman derivatives under visible light irradiation. This protocol provides a mild and operationally simple method for the synthesis of a variety of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds in a broad scope of the substrates. The mechanism of Lewis base activation and
