Lithium 3-Lithio-3-tosylalkanoates: .beta.-Acylvinyl Anion Equivalents of .beta.-Lithiated .alpha.,.beta.-Unsaturated Carboxylic Acids
摘要:
The dilithiation of beta-tosylated propanoic, 2-methylpropanoic, and butanoic acid 10 with n-butyllithium at -78 degrees C leads to the corresponding lithium 3-lithio-3-tosylalkanoates 11. They react with different electrophilic reagents (deuterium oxide, iodine, trimethylchlorosilane, alkyl halides, and acyl chlorides) to give the corresponding 3-substituted tosylated alkanoic acids 12. When carbonyl compounds are allowed to react with intermediates 11 followed by in situ lactonization with trifluoracetic anhydride and base-promoted elimination alpha,beta-butenolides are obtained. This methodology is applied to the direct synthesis of the rosefuran lactone precursor 14cg, the O-benzyl derivative of (+/-)-umbelactone (14ch), and (+/-)-andirolactone (14ci). The alkylation and acylation reactions of organolithium compounds 11 followed by esterification with hydrogen chloride in methanol and treatment with 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) afford alpha,beta- and/or beta,gamma-unsaturated esters 17 and/or 18 and unsaturated 4-keto esters 19, respectively. The last methodology has been applied to the synthesis of the unsaturated 4-keto ester 19ae precursor of the seco acid of (+/-)-pyrenophorin (22).
Control of Regioselectivity by the <i>l</i><i>one</i> Substituent through Steric and Electronic Effects in the Nitrosoarene Ene Reaction of Deuterium-Labeled Trisubstituted Alkenes
For the enereaction of 4-nitronitrosobenzene (ArNO) with a variety of primary and secondary lone alkyl-substituted substrates, the twix/twin regioselectivity is constant at about 85:15. In contrast, for the lone tert-butyl group and for lone aryl substituents, the twix regioisomer is obtained exclusively. These regioselectivities have been rationalized in terms of steric interactions and coordination
The Pd-catalyzed cross coupling of either benzylzincs with alkenyl halides or alkenylalanes with benzyl halides provides highly selective and expeditious routes to allylated arenes.

The less substituted side of some geminal dimethyl trisubstituted alkenes becomes significantly more reactive if photooxygenation takes place in thionin-supported zeolite Na-Y. These results are mainly attributed to a synergistic interaction between the alkali metal cation, the alkene, and the oxygen in the transition state of perepoxide formation.

An alternative approach for alpha-arylation and alpha-vinylation of carbonyl compounds is described: reaction between aryl- or vinylboroxines with alpha-diazocarbonyl compounds leads to the formation of alpha-arylated or alpha-vinylated carbonyl compounds under mild conditions.
