Iron-Promoted Elimination of β-Thioalkoxy Alcohols. Olefination by Coupling of a Carbonyl Group with a Dithioacetal
摘要:
Treatment of propargylic dithiolanes with (BuLi)-Bu-n followed by a carbonyl electrophile yields the corresponding propargylic dithioacetals. Upon treatment with 1 equiv of Fe(acac)(3) and excess MeMgI, elimination of SR and OH moieties from 8 affords the corresponding olefins in satisfactory yield. Benzylic dithioacetals behave similarly. The reaction can be considered an alternative of McMurry coupling of two different carbonyl equivalents.
