硝基烯烃是一种常见且用途广泛的试剂。它从烯烃合成通常受到顺式和反式化合物混合物的形成的限制。在这里,我们报告亚硝酸银 (AgNO2) 与 TEMPO 一起可以促进范围广泛的烯烃的区域和立体选择性硝化。这项工作公开了一种新的有效方法,其中从烯烃开始,硝基烷烃自由基形成和随后的转化以立体选择性方式导致所需的硝基烯烃。
Ferric nitrate with catalytic TEMPO has been identified as a useful reagent for regio- and stereoselective nitration of a wide variety of aromatic, aliphatic, and heteroaromatic olefins. This reaction provided nitroolefins in preparatively useful yields with excellent E-selectivity. Due to its mild nature and operational simplicity, the present protocol is expected to find application in synthetic setup.
Stereoselective Nitration of Olefins with <sup><i>t</i></sup>BuONO and TEMPO: Direct Access to Nitroolefins under Metal-free Conditions
Nitroolefins are essential elements for both synthetic chemistry and medicinal research. Despite significant improvements in nitration of olefin an efficient metal-free synthesis remains elusive so far. Herein, we disclose a new set of reagents to access nitroolefins in a single step under metal-free conditions. A wide range of olefins with diverse functionalities has been nitrated in synthetically useful yields. This transformation is operationally simple and exhibits excellent E-selectivity. Furthermore, site selective nitration in a complex setup makes this method advantageous.
