Group Transfer Addition Reactions of Methyl (phenylseleno)malononitrile to Alkenes
摘要:
Results of a detailed study of group transfer additions of methyl(phenylseleno)propanedinitrile (4) to a wide variety of alkenes are reported. For example, heating of 4 (60 degrees C) with 1-hexene and AIBN produces (2-(phenylseleno)-hexyl)methylpropanedinitrile in 97% yield. Reagent 4 adds in high yields to monosubstituted styrenes, enol ethers, enol acetates, enol sulfides, enamides, and enol imidazoles and carbazoles. Additions to many classes of 1,2-disubstituted alkenes also occur, and modest to good levels of 1,2-asymmetric induction are observed in the selenium transfer step. Oxygen- and sulfur-substituted alkenes produce anti products, and N-substituted alkenes produce syn products. The proposed mechanism involves radical addition followed by phenylselenium group transfer, and it is shown that radical additions to certain classes of disubstituted alkenes can be reversible. Additions to trisubstituted alkenes fair, probably because of this reversibility. Competition studies provide a relative reactivity scale of alkenes toward the electrophilic methylpropanedinitrile radical. Finally, a series of transformations serve to illustrate some synthetic possibilities for the products of these selenium transfer addition reactions.
Rate constants for chalcogen group transfers in bimolecular substitution reactions with primary alkyl radicals
摘要:
Rate constants for group transfers of the MeS, PhS, PhSe, and PhTe groups from chalcogen-substituted acetate, acetonitrile, malonate, and malononitrile compounds, from N-(phenylthio) phthalimide and from Me2S2 and Ph2S2 to primary alkyl radicals, have been determined by competition kinetics using PTOC esters as the radical precursors and competing trapping agents. Thio group transfers from malononitrile derivatives are marginally faster than the corresponding group transfer from the symmetrical disulfide, and the rate constant for PhSe group transfer from PhSeSePh is greater than those from the derivatives studied here. Substituent effects suggest that the chalcogen transfer reactions may be concerted. For three cases in which direct comparisons can be made, the rate constants for reactions of phenylchalcogenides are approximately equal to those for halogen atom transfer when the chalcogen and halide are in the same row of the periodic table and the radical resulting from displacement is the same. The rate constants reported in this work will be useful for the rational design of synthetic schemes based on homolytic group transfer chemistry.

Trapping products consistent with the formation of radical intermediates α to and on the ring carbon of cyclobutadieneiron tricarbonyl have been synthesized. These examples constitute the first strong experimental evidence for the formation of radicals derived from cyclobutadieneiron tricarbonyl.

Group transfer additionreactions of alkyl phenylselenomalononitriles to enol ethers derived from trans-2-phenylcyclohexanol and 8-phenylmenthol occur cleanly, and moderate to excellent stereoselection is observed in both the radical addition and phenylselenium transfer steps.
