A convenient synthesis of functionalized vinylepoxides
摘要:
Functionalized vinylepoxides were synthesized, in high yields, from alpha-bromoaldehydes and -ketones via vinylalumination, followed by cyclization with K2CO3 or KF under non-aqueous conditions. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
Vinylalumination for the Synthesis of Functionalized Allyl Alcohols, Vinylepoxides, and α-Alkylidene-β-hydroxy-γ-lactones
摘要:
A modified hydroalumination protocol for the preparation of [alpha-(ethoxycarbonyl)vinyl]diisobutyl-aluminum and its beta-methyl or -phenyl analogues was developed. These vinylaluminum reagents react with aldehydes and ketones to provide the corresponding functionalized allyl alcohols in good to excellent yields. Perfluoroalkyl and -aryl carbonyl compounds, alpha-keto esters, alpha-acyl cyanides, and alpha-acetylenic ketones provide the corresponding alpha-hydroxyalkenes in high yields. The allyl alcohol product ratios from the vinylalumination of unsymmetrical alpha-diketones with [alpha-(ethoxycarbonyl)vinyl] diisobutylaluminum and its beta-methyl or -phenyl analogues depend on the steric and electronic environments of the ketones as well as the reagents. The products from the vinylalumination of alpha-bromoaldehydes and -ketones were cyclized With K2CO3 or KF under nonaqueous conditions to provide functionalized vinylepoxides in high yields. Vinylaluminations of keto-protected pyruvaldehyde provided the products, which were converted to alpha-alkylidene-beta-hydroxy-gamma-lactones.
