Direct Catalytic Aldol-Type Reactions Using RCH2CN
摘要:
A copper fluoride-catalyzed cyanomethylation that can be applied to a wide range of ketones and aldehydes was developed using TMSCH2-CN as a nucleophile. The reaction was extended to a conceptually more advanced copper alkoxide-catalyzed direct addition of alkylnitriles to aldehydes, which can act as a surrogate direct catalytic aldol reaction of esters. These reactions can be applied to the first catalytic enantioselective cyanomethylation of ketones and direct catalytic enantioselective cyanomethylation of aldehydes.

A highly basicphosphine, tris(2,4,6-trimethoxy phenyl)phosphine (TTMPP), catalyzes cyanomethylation using trimethylsilylacetonitrile (TMSCH2CN) to give the corresponding products in good to high yields, with both carbonyl compounds and imines.

Functionalized pyrazoles are generated from secondary propragyl alcohols and hydrazines in a rutheniumcatalyzed cascade process, consisting of redox isomerization, Michael addition, cyclocondensation and dehydrogenation steps. The same bifunctional catalyst mediates the conversion of tertiary propargyl alcohols with hydrazine to 3-hydroxynitriles via anti-Markovnikov hydroamination followed by elimination

The reaction of lithium dimethylcuprate with E-4-phenyl-3-buten-2-one in different solvents has been investigated. Fast conjugateaddition occurs in hydrocarbons, dichloromethane and diethylether, while the reaction is retarded in better coordinating solvents.
(dimethylsilyl)acetonitriles (Me2HSiCR3R4CN) react spontaneously with aldehydes in DMSO to give β-hydroxynitriles in good to high yields. The addition to ketones is effectively promoted by using MgCl2 or CaCl2. (Dimethylsilyl)acetonitrile (Me2HSiCH2CN) shows lower reactivity than the α-alkylated analogues. However, the parent reagent adds efficiently to aldehydes and ketones under catalysis by AcOLi or MgCl2.
