Palladium(0)-catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation of allyl phosphates and acetates
摘要:
Palladium-catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation of allyl phosphates under CO (1 atm) at 50-degrees-C proceeds highly efficiently to give the corresponding beta,gamma-unsaturated esters. The carbonylation of geranyl phosphate ((E)-11) under CO (1 atm) at 50-degrees-C gave ethyl ester of homogeranic acid ((E)-12) stereoselectively. The carbonylation takes place at the least substituted allylic positions with inversion of configuration. Typically, the methoxycarbonylation of cis-5-(methoxycarbonyl)-2-cyclohexen-1-yl phosphate (cis-16) gave trans-dimethyl 2-cyclohexene-1,5-dicarboxylate (trans-17) selectively. Alkoxycarbonylation of allyl acetates is performed for the first time in the presence of a catalytic amount of bromide ion. The reaction can be rationalized by assuming the mechanism which involves oxidative addition of palladium(0) species to allyl acetates to give pi-allylpalladium acetate, fast ligand exchange of the acetate with bromide, insertion of carbon monoxide to give acylpalladium species, and alkoxylation.
Palladium catalyzed carbonylations of allyl phosphates and allyl acetates give β,γ-unsaturated esters efficiently. The latter reaction requires bromide ion as a co-catalyst.
synthesis of a chiral indene (97% ee) was realized by asymmetric allylicsubstitution of 1,3-diphenyl-2-propenyl acetate with an indenide generated from indene and cesium carbonate in the presence of a palladium catalyst coordinated with (S)-Ph-phox. The stereochemistry of the allylicsubstitution with the indenide was demonstrated to be net retention.
