From precursor to catalyst: the involvement of [Ru(η5-Cp∗)Cl2]2 in highly branch selective allylic etherification of cinnamyl chlorides
摘要:
(RuCp*Cl-2)(2), a general entry into Cp*Ru sandwich and half-sandwich chemistry was first used as a precatalyst in allylic etherification of cinnamyl chlorides with up to 98:2 regioselectivity (19 examples). Both the solvent effect and the exsiccant reaction condition are crucial to the reactivity and selectivity. Preliminary mechanism studies and the demonstration of Fluoxetine synthesis were presented in this work as well. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
The synthesis of the new complexes [Ru(Cp*)(L)(MeCN)2][PF6] (L = Ph2POMe or Ph2P-o-tolyl) and Ru(Cp*)[Ph2PCH2C(tBu)=O](MeCN)}[PF6] (2a–c) is achieved starting from [Ru(Cp*)(MeCN)3][PF6]. The acetonitrile ligands in complexes 2a–c are labile, as emphasised by the easy formation of Ru(Cp*)(CO)2[Ph2PCH2C(=O)tBu]}[PF6] (3). The keto-phosphane is used as a tool to convert 3 into Ru(Cp*)(CO)[Ph2PCH2C(tBu)=O]}[PF6]

from the reaction of [Cp*(MeCN)3Ru][PF6] with allylic halides were identified as intermediate catalytic species. An X-ray structure determination of the complex [Cp*(MeCHCHCH2)(MeCN)RuBr][PF6] disclosed an (endo-trans-MeCHCHCH2) allylic ligand. The structural information obtained from the study of Cp*(allyl)Ru(IV) complexes indicated that electronic effects at the coordinated allylic ligand likely account
chlorides by carbon nucleophiles and phenols, respectively. After generation of diaminocarbene species upon deprotonation by tBuOK, their association with [Cp*Ru(MeCN)3]PF6 induces a very high regioselectivity in favor of the branched isomers when cinnamyl derivatives are used as starting substrates. They also provide good regioselectivities for the allylation of phenols by unsymmetrical aliphatic allylic

An enantioselective and regioselective iridium-catalyzed allylic etherification is described. The reaction of sodium and lithium aryloxides with achiral (E)-cinnamyl and terminal aliphatic allylic electrophiles in the presence of 2 mol % of an iridium-phosphoramidite complex provides chiral allylic aryl ethers in high yields and excellent levels of regio- and enantioselectivity. Lithium aryloxides
