Y(OTf)3 catalyzed substitution dependent oxidative C(sp3)–C(sp3) cleavage and regioselective dehydration of β-allyl-β-hydroxydithioesters: alternate route to α,β-unsaturated ketones and functionalized dienes
摘要:
beta-Allyl-beta-hydroxydithioesters have been generated by the regioselective Grignard addition to the beta-oxodithioesters. They have been successfully employed in selective C(sp(3))-C(sp(3)) bond cleavage to construct alpha,beta-unsaturated ketone residues by the treatment of an emerging catalyst yttrium(III)triflate for the first time. On the other hand, hetaryl substituted beta-allyl-beta-hydroxydithioesters led to the useful diene precursors through selective dehydration under the similar conditions. (c) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
