Pyridylmagnesiates: generation by bromine–metal exchange and enantioselective addition to aldehydes
摘要:
Butyl and dibutylmagnesiates incorporating chiral ligands have been prepared and their reactivity studied. The reagents were efficient to promote the clean bromine-magnesium exchange of azinyl bromides at room temperature and subsequent reaction with aldehydes affording pyridylcarbinols. (R,R)-TADDOL-based dibutylmagnesiate was the best reagent leading to acceptable to good enantioselectivities, depending on the substrate and on the aldehyde substitution. This is the first example of enantioselective addition of in situ generated pyridylmagnesiate to carbonyl electrophiles. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
The cooperative effect of Lewis pairs in the Friedel–Crafts hydroxyalkylation reaction: a simple and effective route for the synthesis of (±)-carbinoxamine
An efficient C–C bond formation strategy between aromatic/heteroaromatic π-nucleophiles and Lewis acid activated aldehydes is described. This aromatic electrophilic substitution reaction of arenes or heteroarenes is facilitated by Lewis acid AlBr3. Aromatic rings with electron donating substituents are excellent nucleophilic counterparts in this reaction, generating carbinols in excellent yields (61–94%)
