Selective Hydro‐ and Deuterodechlorination of Trichloroacetamides under Controlled Electrochemical Conditions To Prepare Mono‐, Di‐, and Deuterochloroacetamides
摘要:
Mono and dichloro acetamides were prepared via hydrodechlorination reaction of trichloroacetamides under controlled electrochemical conditions. The reactions were carried out in an undivided cell with constant current flow using n‐Bu4NI as supporting electrolyte and methanol as solvent and proton source. Deuterodechlorination of trichloroacetamide was also successful using methanol‐d4 as solvent under identical electrochemical conditions.
A range of cyclic allylic trichloroacetamides has been synthesised. Dihydroxylation utilising catalytic osmium tetroxide and quinuclidine-N-oxide monohydrate as the re-oxidant in dichloromethane yields diols with good levels of syn selectivity. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
