Generation of magnesium alkylidene carbenoids from 1-halovinyl sulfoxides with grignard reagent-their property and some synthetic uses
摘要:
The first example of magnesium alkylidene carbenoids is described. 1-Halovinyl sulfoxides 3 (X=F, Cl, Br) were synthesized from ketones and aryl halomethyl sulfoxides in three steps in moderate to good overall yields. Ligand exchange reaction of the sulfoxides of 3 with ethylmagnesium halide in THF at low temperature afforded a magnesium alkylidene carbenoid, which reacted with several electrophiles to give new alkylidene compounds.
The olefination of ketones using the organotitanium species formed from Cp2Ti[P(OEt)(3)](2) and polychloromethane was studied. The reaction of the organotitanium species prepared from carbon tetrachloride with ketones produced the 1,1-dichloro-1-alkenes in good yields even when dialkyl ketones were employed. The similar olefination of ketones using chloroform afforded the 1-chloro-1-alkenes and 1,1-dichloro-1-alkenes, the ratio of which reflected the steric demand on the ketones. The titanocene chloromethylidene complex was suggested to be an active species of the reaction on the basis of the results obtained by the reaction using chloroform-d. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.
