Microwave-Assisted Rapid and Simplified Hydrogenation1,
摘要:
Catalytic transfer hydrogenation has been conducted under microwave irradiation in open vessels using high-boiling solvents such as ethylene glycol (bp 198 degrees C) as the microwave energy transfer agent. Reduction of double bonds and hydrogenolysis of several functional groups were carried out safely and rapidly (3-5 min) at about 110-130 degrees C with 10% Pd/C as an efficient catalyst and ammonium formate as the hydrogen donor. Diverse types of beta-lactam synthons were prepared by the reduction of ring substituents containing alkene and alkylidene groups or conjugated unsaturated esters, Cleavage of the beta-lactam ring by hydrogenolysis of the N-C-4 bond of 4-aryl-2-azetidinones was a facile reaction with 10% Pd/C as the catalyst; but no ring scission occurred when Raney nickel catalyst was employed. Dehalogenation of aromatic compounds was also successful with ammonium formate and Pd/C catalyst. Hydrogenolysis of phenylhydrazone of methyl benzoylformate gave the methyl ester of phenylglycine in excellent yield. The techniques described here for microwave assisted hydrogenation are safe, rapid, and efficient and are suitable for research investigation as well as for undergraduate and high school laboratory exercises.
A series of silylketene thioacetals derived from 2-pyridylthioesters have been prepared and the configuration of some of them has been determined by NMR spectroscopy. In the presence of Lewis acids these compounds stereoselectively react with imines to afford β-lactams in a convenient one-pot procedure. An enantioselective β-lactam synthesis promoted by a chiral Lewis acid is also described.

Liquid-phase synthesis of trans b-lactams was accomplished through both PEG-supported imine and PEG-bound auxiliary methodologies. The trans diastereoselectivity is explained by a chair-like transition state involving the imine and the Z-enolate.
The enolates derived from 2-pyridylthioesters by reaction with BCl3 ·SMe2 and enantiomerically pure aminoalcohols react with aromatic imines in an enantioselective fashion (ee up to 78%) to afford β-lactams in a convenient one-pot procedure.

An efficient and enantioselective synthesis of trans-β-lactams from carboximide 1 and imines 2 using a chiral auxiliary under the classical Reformatsky reaction conditions is described. An enolate-imine mechanism has been proposed for this reaction.
SnBr4 affords the corresponding tin(IV) enolates that add to imines to give β-lactams in fair to good yields and with various degree of trans/cis stereoselectivity. Examples of highly diastereofacially selective reactions carried out on a chiral thioester and on a chiral imine are also reported. The results are compared with those obtained in the condensations promoted by TiCl4 and TiBr4.
