Complete Retention of Z Geometry in Allylic Substitution Catalyzed by an Iridium Complex
摘要:
[GRAPHICS]The Z geometry of methyl (Z)-3-monosubstituted-2-alkenyl carbonate was completely retained in iridium complex-catalyzed allylic amination. The reaction of methyl (Z)-2-nonenyl carbonate with piperidine in the presence of a catalytic amount of [Ir(COD)Cl](2) and P(OPh)(3) at 50 degrees C for 2 h gave a 98:2 mixture of (Z)-1-(2-nonenyl)piperidine and 1-(1-n-hexyl-2-propenyl)piperidine in 86% yield, No E isomer was obtained. Various (Z) allylic amines were obtained in 91-100% selectivity by allylic amination of methyl (Z) 3-monosubstituted-2-alkenyl carbonate.
Iridium complex-catalyzed allylic amination of allylic carbonates was studied. The solvent strongly affected the catalytic activity. The use of a polar solvent such as EtOH is essential for obtaining the products in high yield, The reaction of (E)-3-substituted-2-propenyl carbonate and 1-substituted-2-propenyl carbonate with pyrrolidine in the presence of a catalytic amount of [Ir(COD)Cl](2) and P(OPh)(3) (P/Ir = 2) gave a branch amine with up to 99% selectivity. Both secondary and primary amines could be used for this reaction. When a primary amine was used, selective monoallylation occurred. No diallylation product was obtained. The reaction of 1,1-disubstituted-2 propenyl acetate with amines exclusively gave an alpha,alpha -disubstituted allylic amine. This reaction provides an alternative route to the addition of an organometallic reagent to ketimines. for the preparation of such amines. The reaction of (Z)-3-substituted-2-propenyl carbonate with amines gave (Z)-linear amines with up to 100% selectivity. In all cases, no (E)-linear amine was obtained. The selectivities described here have not been achieved in similar palladium complex-catalyzed reactions.
