Catalytic (Asymmetric) Methylene Transfer to Aldehydes
摘要:
An investigation into the poor activity of sulfides as catalysts for sulfonium-ylide-mediated methylene transfer to aldehydes has indicated that ylide formation is the problematic catalytic cycle step. Alkylation with traditional electrophiles does not proceed with sufficient efficiency to allow the sulfide to be used catalytically. Methyl triflate rapidly alkylates cyclic thiolanes under mild conditions, allowing their use in efficient aldehyde epoxidation reactions (in conjunction with phosphazene bases) at loadings as low as 10 mol %.

The present invention relates to a heat-curable composition comprising (a) at least one compound which is capable of undergoing cationic polymerization; and (b) at least one sulfonium sulfate selected from compounds of the formulae Ia and Ib where Yn- is a monovalent or divalent anion selected from (1) where n, M, R1 to R10 are as defined in claim 1 and in the description. The present invention also relates to novel sulfonium sulfates of the formulae Ia and Ib, to a process for curing cationically polymerizable material and to the cured material obtained by said process.
