Lewis Base-Promoted Rearrangement of Allylic Cyanohydrins: Construction of Functionalized Nitriles Bearing 1,3-Diketone Moieties
摘要:
A novel Lewis base-promoted rearrangement of allylic cyanohydrins has been developed, in which the cyano group was rearranged, directly coupled with the generation of new functional groups. This protocol provides a unique and facile way to prepare highly functionalized nitriles bearing 1,3-diketone moieties under mild reaction conditions. Furthermore, the synthetic transformations of the functionalized products have also been demonstrated.
Construction of Highly Functional Quaternary Carbon Stereocenters via an Organocatalytic Tandem Cyanation–Allylic Alkylation Reaction
摘要:
The first tertiary amine-catalyzed tandem cyanation-allyic alkylation (CAA) reaction of aldehydes, appropriate cyanide sources, and Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) adducts has been developed, which provides a facile access to densely functionalized products containing O-substituted quaternary centers.
A novel phosphine-promoted intramolecular acylcyanation of alpha-substituted activated alkenes has been developed, which provides a unique access to densely functionalized acyclic ketones bearing beta-quaternary carbon centers with a remarkable feature that both alpha- and beta-positions of activated alkene are functionalized.
