Synthesis and Trapping of Some Substituted 1-Bromocyclopropenes
摘要:
Treatment of a number of 2-substituted 1,1,2-tribromocyclopropanes with MeLi at -78 degrees C gave the corresponding 1-bromocyclopropenes, which were reacted with three cyclic dienes to yield the [4 + 2]-cycloadducts. Cycloaddition with 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran (DPIBF) gave the exo adducts, in most cases in excellent yield, whereas cyclopentadiene afforded endo adducts only, but in moderate yield. In most reactions with furan no adduct was formed, but two 1-bromocyclopropenes derivatives with an aromatic side chain were exceptions and furnished mixtures of exo and endo adducts in moderate yields.
Neighbouring-group Influence on the Ring Opening of 2-Aryloxymethyl-1,1,2-tribromocyclopropanes under Phase-transfer Conditions.
摘要:
When a number of 2-aryloxymethyl-1,1,2-tribromocyclopropa were treated with sodium hydroxide and ethanol under phase-transfer conditions, ring opening occurred to give mixtures of acetylenic diethyl acetals and ketals in better than 80% total isolated yield. The acetylenic diethyl ketals predominated significantly and were, in some cases, almost the exclusive product. It is argued that this ketal selectivity is in part caused by hydrogen bonding between ethanol and the aryloxy group.
