Organic base catalyzed carbonyl allylation of methyl trifluoropyruvate with activated alkenes
摘要:
The carbonyl allylation of methyl trifluoropyruvate (MeTFP) with activated alkenes has been investigated in detail using organic bases as catalysts. Organic bases, such as DMAP, Et3N, DABCO, NMM, Et2NH, and quinine, could deprotonate the allylic hydrogen of activated alkenes and furnish nucleophilic species to undergo the addition reaction with methyl trifluoropyruvate and afford versatile homoallylic alcohols with CF3 group in excellent yields. The F-19 NMR monitoring indicated that the isomerization induced by base gave two separable diastereoisomers in an equilibrium ratio of 1:3. The relative configuration of hydroxy and the neighboring alkyl group in the major diastereoisomer was determined as syn-configuration by X-ray diffraction analysis. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
