1-Bromo-1-lithioethene: A Practical Reagent for the Efficient Preparation of 2-Bromo-1-alken-3-ols
摘要:
A reliable preparative-scale synthesis of 1-bromo-1-lithioethene is reported. This reagent undergoes clean 1,2-addition with a range of aldehydes and ketones at -105 degreesC to afford the corresponding 2-bromo-1-alken-3-ols in moderate to excellent yield. Efficient diastereoselective addition to alpha-siloxy and alpha-methylcyclohexanones, as well as protected 3-keto furanose sugars, is achieved in the presence of 10 mol % CeBr3. The resulting bromoallylic alcohol adducts have considerable potential as synthetic building blocks.

A reliable preparative scale synthesis of 1-bromo-1-lithioethene is reported. This reagent undergoes clean 1,2-addition with a range of aldehydes and ketones at -110 degrees C to afford the corresponding 2-bromo-1-alken-3-ols in moderate to excellent yield. Trapping with other electrophiles (acylsilanes, chlorosilanes, tributyltin chloride, iodine) cleanly provides practically useful yields of various 1-substituted 1-bromoethene products. Unexpectedly high diastereoselectivities were observed during the addition of 1-bromo-1-lithioethene to alpha-siloxy aldehydes (typically 10:1, Felkin-Ahn control) and protected ketopyranose and ketofuranose sugars (>= 10:1, addition from the less-hindered face). The title organolithium reagent possesses relatively low basicity at low temperature, and is compatible with a variety of common protecting groups. We believe that these unusual properties of 1-bronio-1-lithioethene may originate from the specific crystalline structure of the reagent in which lithium is coordinatively saturated and thus unavailable for chelation.
