Synthesis of Alkyl 2-(1-t-Butylperoxyalkyl)propenoates and Ethyl 2-t-Butylperoxymethylbut-2-enoate
摘要:
Methods of synthesis of alkyl 2-(1-t-butylperoxyalkyl)propenoates and ethyl 2-t-butylperoxymethylbut-2-enoate are developped through the nucleophilic substitution of t-butylperoxylate anion towards various allylic derivatives prepared from alkyl 2-hydroxymethylalk-2-enoates and ethyl 2-(1-hydroxyethyl)propenoate.
Abstract Addition of potassium hydroxide to a THF solution of an alkyl hydroperoxide and an allylic peroxide having an electron-poor double bond yielded the formation of epoxyperoxide. Such a heterocycle was generated via the. Michael addition of the peroxylate to the activated double bond of the unsaturated peroxide followed by an SNI at the O-O bond.
Treatment of 2-ethoxycarbonylprop-2-enyl peroxides with potassium alkylperoxylate, the sodium enolate of diethyl malonate and a primary or secondary amine yields epoxides via a two-step process: (i) addition of the nucleophile to the acrylic unsaturated bond and (ii) intramolecular anionic substitution on the peroxidic bond.
