Cobalt(II)-Catalyzed Conversion of Allylic Alcohols/Acetates to Allylic Amides in the Presence of Nitriles
摘要:
Various secondary allylic alcohols or their acetates and tertiary allylic alcohols can be converted to the corresponding transposed allylic amides in the presence of a catalytic quantity of cobalt(II) chloride and acetic anhydride in acetonitrile. Tertiary alcohols undergo complete rearrangement whereas secondary ones afford a mixture of regioisomers. Moderate yields of amides are also obtained by reacting acrylonitrile with secondary alcohols in 1,2-dichloroethane. The presence of acetic anhydride or acetic acid is crucial to the formation of amides as the absence of the former affords no amides and the allylic alcohols are mainly recovered as regioisomeric mixtures. The regioselectivity during amide formation can be enhanced by using cobalt complexes 14-16 in acetic acid medium. Some preliminary studies indicate that these reactions are proceeding via an pi-allyl complex or tight ion pair rather than a [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement of acetamidate obtained in a Pinner reaction.
Concomitant Epoxide Deoxygenation and Deacetylation of Glycidyl Acetates Induced by Telluride Ion
摘要:
Treatment of glycidyl acetates with telluride ion (Te2-) produced by reduction of elemental Te with LiEt(3)BH yields allylic alcohols by loss of the epoxide oxygen atom and the acetyl group from the ester. If the glycidyl acetate is disubstituted at C-3, a rearrangement to an isomeric allylic alcohol competes with the deoxygenation-deacetylation. Triethylborane, a byproduct in the reduction of Te, is believed to play an important role as a Lewis acid since when it is absent or removed by addition of fluoride ion the reaction is extremely slow.
with a lipase produced the regio- and enantioconvergent transformation of racemic allyl alcohols (1 or 2) into optically active allyl esters. In this system, the vanadium compounds catalyzed the continuous racemization of the alcohols along with the transposition of the hydroxyl group, while the lipase effected the chemo- and enantioselective esterification to achieve the dynamickineticresolution.
V for resolution: A new oxovanadium catalyst (V‐MPS; see scheme) immobilized in the pores of mesoporous silica has been developed. The combined use of V‐MPS and lipases achieved the dynamickineticresolution of a wide range of racemic alcohols (1 or 2) to produce optically active esters 3 in high chemical and optical yields. The paired catalysts retained high catalytic activity when reused up to six

A gold(I)‐catalysed directthioetherification reaction between allylicalcohols and thiols is presented. The reaction is generally highly regioselective (SN2′). This dehydrative allylation procedure is very mild and atom economical, producing only water as the by‐product and avoiding any unnecessary waste/steps associated with installing a leaving or activating group on the substrate.

The tandem ylide formation/[2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement between donor/acceptor rhodium carbenoids and chiral allyl alcohols is a convergent C-Cbond forming process, which generates two vicinal stereogenic centers. Any of the four possible stereoisomers can be selectively synthesized by appropriate combination of the chiral catalyst Rh(2)(DOSP)(4) and the chiral alcohol.
