Reductive lithiation of 1,3-dimethyl-2-arylimidazolidines
摘要:
Naphthalene catalyzed lithiation of 1,3-dimethyl-2-phenylimidazolidine led to cleavage of the benzylic carbon-nitrogen bond, with formation of an intermediate dianion. Under similar conditions, 1,3-dimethyl-2-(4-chlorophenyl)imidazolidine underwent regioselective cleavage of the aromatic carbon-chlorine bond, leading to a 4-formylphenyllithium equivalent, whilst 1,3-dimethyl-2-(4-methoxymethylphenyl)imidazolidine underwent regioselective cleavage of the benzylic carbon-oxygen bond, leading to a 4-formylbenzyllithium equivalent.

Cyclopentyl methyl ether–NH<sub>4</sub>X: a novel solvent/catalyst system for low impact acetalization reactions
Cyclopentyl methyl ether, a low impact ether forming a positive azeotrope with water, was successfully employed as a solvent in the synthesis of 1,3-dioxanes and 1,3-dioxolanes carried out under Dean-Stark...
