Transition-Metal-Catalyzed Carbenoid Reactions of Sulfonium Ylides
摘要:
Olefins undergo cyclopropanation with diphenylsulfonium (ethoxycarbonyl)methylide (= diphenylsulfonium 2-ethoxy-2-oxoethylide; 3a) in the presence of chiral Cu-I or Rh-II catalysts, trans/cis Ratios and ee's of the cyclopropanes 6 obtained with this ylide in the presence of a chiral Cu-I catalyst 7 are identical with those obtained with ethyl diazoacetate (4). In the case of catalysis with Rh-II, the trans/cis ratios of the cyclopropanes as well as the enantioselectivity change slightly upon going from the ylide 3a to diazoacetate 4.

We have compared product distributions from reactions of (1):CH2 with 2,5-dimethylhexane and (1):CHCO(2)Et with 2,3-dimethylbutane in alkane vs 1:1 pentane-perfluorohexane solution. A solvent effect was observed in the reaction of (1):CHCO(2)Et, but not (1):CH2. The preference for tertiary/primary C-H insertion by (1):CHCO(2)Et is 3.97 +/- 0.04 in 2,3-dimethylbutane solution and 4.48 +/- 0.09 in 1:1 pentane-perfluorohexane solution. There is no change in the stereospecificity of(1):CHCO(2)Et addition to cis-2-pentene in pentane vs 1:1 pentane-perfluorohexane solution, indicating that the observed change in selectivity is probably not due to intersystem crossing to (3):CHCO(2)Et. Ab initio calculations provide evidence for a possible origin of the solvent effect via formation of carbene-fluoroalkane complexes. At the RHF/3-21G level, (1):CHCO(2)Me forms bound complexes with CH3F and CF4 with binding energies ranging from 5.7-19.6 kcal/mol. These complexes are 1.3-1.7 times more strongly bound than complexes formed between (1):CH2 and the same fluoroalkanes.
