The photochemical reactions in methanol of the vinylic halides 2-halo-1-phenyl-1,3-butadienes 1-3Z-X (beta-halo-beta-alkenylstyrenes) and 1-halo-1,2-diphenylethenes 4Z-X (alpha-halostilbenes), with X = Cl or Br, have been studied quantitatively. E/Z isomerization, dehydrohalogenation, nucleophilic substitution, a [1,3]-halogen shift, a [1,3]-hydrogen shift, and oxidation are observed as the primary reactions. No reductive dehalogenation products are formed. The efficiencies of product formation are dependent on the halogen used, the electron-donating capacity of the a-substituent, the ground state conformation of the starting material, and the wavelength of excitation. Apart from the photoinduced E/Z isomerization and the oxidation reaction typical for alkenes, product formation occurs exclusively via vinyl-cationic intermediates, which are formed upon photolytic cleavage of the carbon-halogen bond. These ionic species, or part of them, are present as vinyl cation/halide anion-pairs.
Mild-Condition Synthesis of Allenes from Alkynes and Aldehydes Mediated by Tetrahydroisoquinoline (THIQ)
A practical 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (THIQ)-mediated synthesis of 1,3-disubstituted allenes from terminal alkynes and aldehydes under mild conditions in the presence of CuBr first and then ZnI2 was reported. This telescoped allene synthesis reaction includes three consecutive steps and two reactions: first, a room-temperature CuBr-catalyzed synthesis of propargylamines, exo-yne-THIQs, from terminal alkynes, aldehydes, and THIQ then filtration of the CuBr catalyst, and finally the ZnI2-mediated allene synthesis from the generated exo-yne-THIQs under mild conditions (either at room temperature or heating at 50 or 75 degrees C). A wide range of aliphatic or aromatic aldehydes and terminal alkynes are tolerated, affording the allene products in up to 92% yield. Especially, temperature-sensitive aldehydes can be used in the reaction system. Preliminary exploration of the asymmetric allene synthesis has also been conducted, and a moderate enantioselectivity has been achieved. Finally, the relative reactivities of several secondary amines were compared with THIQ, showing that THIQ is the best of these amines in the synthesis of allenes under mild reaction conditions.
