Design of a Bisamidinium Claisen Rearrangement Catalyst for Monodentate Substrates
摘要:
A bisamidinium catalyst has been designed for the Claisen rearrangement. The primary design feature is a dual hydrogen bonding array that can coordinate a singular oxygen atom of the substrate. The ability to function as a dual hydrogen donor is key as the bisamidinium accelerates the Claisen rearrangement to a greater extent than Bronsted acids with lower pK(a) values.

Carboxylic acids and two tris(amidine) bases formed branched 3∶1 complexes with high solubility in chlorinated and aromatic solvents, particularly when aromatic carboxylic acids with suitable solubilising substituents were used. Whereas N,N′-diethylamidine complexes 10 proved to be difficult to isolate, the respective imidazoline complexes 14 were easily purified by crystallisation. Association constants were determined for model bis(imidazoline) complexes to be about 103 dm3 mol–1 in the competitive solvent mixture CDCl3–CD3OD (97∶3).

towards electron transfer through hydrogen bonding. Whereas this effect of hydrogen bond donors (HBDs) has been observed for Lewis basic, weakly oxidizing quinones, comparable activation is not readily achieved when more reactive and synthetically useful electron‐deficient quinones are used. We have successfully employed HBD‐coupled electron transfer as a strategy to activate electron‐deficient quinones
