Highly selective trapping of unsymmetrical pentadienyl anions by silicon and tin electrophiles. Marked contrast between kinetic and thermodynamic control of product composition
摘要:
The nucleophilic reaction of lithium and potassium salts of five pentadienyl anions bearing sterically and/or coordinatively different groups at their unsymmetrical 2-position toward Me3SiCl and Me3SnBr is described. When the anion of the potassium salt was trapped by Me3SiCl, (Z)-4-substituted-pentadienylsilanes were obtained with high selectivity (87-100%). The lithium salt, however, gave a mixture of (E)- and (Z)-4-substituted-pentadienylsilanes. The coupling reaction proceeds under kinetic control, because the product composition from Si trapping reflected the structure of the parent dienyl anion and the steric interaction between the incoming Me3Si group and the substituent on the anion. In contrast, when the anion was trapped by Me3SnBr under the identical conditions, (Z)-2-substituted-pentadienyltins were formed with 60-96% selectivity. Only relatively small changes in product composition, as a function of the cation or the substituent on the anion, were observed. These results could be explained by thermodynamic controlling factors, including a 1,5-Me3Sn shift, and a redistribution of pentadienyl groups under basic conditions.

Imidazolinium-derived carbenes catalyze the ring-expansion lactonization of oxacycloalkane-2-carboxaldehydes. A variety of functionalized five-, six-, and seven-memberedlactones can be formed efficiently under mild reaction conditions. The success of this new method for the construction of lactones is highly influenced by the electronic nature of the carbene catalyst.

Treatment of α,α-dialkyl triethyl β-phosphonyl esters with LiAlH 4 in CH 2 Cl 2 –THF caused the one-pot dephosphonylation and reduction to yield the corresponding primary alcohols bearing a controllable β secondary carbon center. Mechanisticstudy has revealed that the LiAlH 4 -induced dephosphonylation should occur first with the assistance of the carboxylate group, and the hydrogen source of the
