Radical Chain Reactions of α-Azido-β-keto Esters with Tributyltin Hydride. A Novel Entry to Amides and Lactams through Regiospecific Nitrogen Insertion
摘要:
A variety of acyclic and carbocyclic alpha-azido-beta-keto esters have been readily prepared from the parent dicarbonyl compounds, and their radical chain reactions with tributyltin hydride have been investigated. These reactions normally result in efficient production of alkoxycarbonyl-substituted amides and lactams and thence provide a new, useful method for regiospecific nitrogen insertion of keto ester compounds. The likely mechanism entails initial addition of tributylstannyl radical to the azido moiety to give a stannylaminyl radical, which readily undergoes intramolecular three-membered cyclization onto the ketone group to form an alkoxyl radical. The alkoxyl radical then undergoes regiospecific beta-scissian to form a stable ring-opened radical that is eventually reduced by tributyltin hydride to propagate the chain. With certain substrates, concomitant deazidation occurs to an important extent. This process, which is unusually observed in radical reactions of alkyl azides, is ascribed to addition of the stannyl radical to the terminal azido nitrogen; subsequent fragmentation of the ensuing 1,3-triazenyl adduct gives stannyl azide and a deazidated alkyl radical, resonance-stabilized by the adjacent carbonyl groups. The radical reactions of 2-azido-2-(ethoxy-carbonyl)-1-tetralone with allyltributylstannane and allyltriphenylstannane have also been investigated with the (missed) aim to achieve nitrogen insertion and concomitant allylation.

The radicals formed in Mn(III)-based oxidative free-radical cyclizations of beta-keto esters and malonate esters can be trapped with sodium azide and Mn(III) to give cyclic and bicyclic azides in 30-80% yield. Reduction of the azide gives bi- and tricyclic lactams. [reaction: see text]

The reactions of 2-ethoxycarbonyl-1-benzosuberone, with 4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl, 2,4,6-triiso-propylbenzenesulfonyl, methanesulfonyl, and trifluoromethanesulfonyl azide, in the presence of triethylamine, have been investigated in N,N-dimethylformamide, acetonitrile, or tetrahydrofuran with the intent of clarifying the influence of both the azide electrophile and solvent on the reaction course. The present findings, in addition to those previously obtained with tosyl and 4-nitrobenzenesulfonyl azide, indicate that both the electronic features of the sulfonyl azide and the solvent polarity greatly affect the possible occurrence of azidation and/or Favorskii-type ring contraction at the expense of deacylating diazo transfer. Azidation is promoted by the less electrophilic azides, while it is virtually avoided by the more electrophilic ones. Ring contraction occurs to a limited extent with the less electrophilic azides, but it becomes the main process with those more electrophilic. Moreover, azidation is virtually unaffected by the solvent polarity, while ring contraction can markedly be enhanced by a highly polar solvent. Firm evidence has additionally been obtained that, in contrast to a previous claim, trifluoromethanesulfonyl azide can normally perform diazotization of acyclic beta-keto esters in preference to azidation.
