Functional group hybrids. Reactivity of .alpha.'-nucleofuge .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated ketones. 1. Reactions with organocopper reagents
摘要:
A series of alpha-nucleofuge alpha',beta'-unsaturated ketones encompassing a variety of structural types and nucleofuges was prepared. Treatment of these compounds with lithium dimethylcuprate or methylcopper leads primarily to either reductive cleavage of the alpha-nucleofuge or conjugate addition. Good alpha-nucleofuges favored the reduction pathway while poorer nucleofuges favored conjugate addition.
A practical and environmentally friendly method for oxidative rearrangement of five- and six-membered cyclic tertiary allylic alcohols to beta-disubstituted alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones by the IBX/DMSO reagent system is described. Several conventional protecting groups (e.g., Ac, MOM, and TBDPS) are compatible under the reaction conditions prescribed.
TiCl4-promoted aldol reaction of ketones as aldol acceptors followed by elimination of the titanoxy group from the Ti-aldolates affords β,β-disubstituted α,β-unsaturated carbonylcompounds in a one-pot procedure. The use of additives, such as DMF, N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine, and pyridine, in the elimination step was found to be important.
