Cp2TiCl-Promoted Isomerization of Trisubstituted Epoxides to exo-Methylene Allylic Alcohols on Carvone Derivatives
摘要:
The ring-opening reaction of trisubstituted epoxides promoted by Cp2TiCl led to exo-methylene allylic alcohols as major compounds when 0.5 M solutions of the epoxides were added to 0.1 M solutions of the reagent at room temperature in THF. In most cases, the allylic alcohols were contaminated with saturated alcohols. Normal and reverse addition modes led to the alternate product being favored. The different stereochemical outcome of cis- and trans-epoxy acetates is rationalized in terms of mechanistically biased elimination processes.
