Metal-Free Halonium Mediated Acetate Shifts of Ynamides To Access α-Halo Acrylamides/Acrylimides
摘要:
A metal-free acetate shift of 3-acetoxy ynamides to access alpha-iodo, bromo, and chloro acrylamides/acrylimides under very mild conditions is demonstrated. The Inherent alkyne activation of ynamides is sufficient to ensure the a-halo acrylamides/acrylimides in high yields without the addition of a catalyst. In all cases high Z-stereoselectivity is observed.
AbstractCopper(I)‐zeolites, especially copper(I)‐ultra stable Y zeolite (USY), are very efficient heterogeneous catalysts for the coupling of functionalized 1‐bromoalkynes and various nitrogen derivatives. Under these conditions, sulfonylated alkyl‐ or arylamines and various N‐heterocycles, such as oxazolidinones or indoles, could be efficiently transformed into the corresponding N‐alkynyl derivatives. However, imidazoles gave addition products rather than coupling products. The reaction conditions proved compatible with a variety of functional and protecting groups. Such zeolitic catalysts can be recycled and reused at least five times without significant deactivation. Low catalyst loading could be used (4 mol%) and as low as 0.8 mol% of this heterogeneous copper catalyst still gave good conversion and yields.magnified image
