New method for generation of β-oxido carbenoid via ligand exchange reaction of sulfoxides: A versatile procedure for one-carbon homologation of carbonyl compounds
one-carbon homologation of carbonylcompounds is described. The method is based on the rearrangement of β-oxido carbenoid which is generated via the ligand exchange reaction of the sulfinyl group of α-chloro β-hydroxy sulfoxide with tert-butyllithium. Addition of the carbanion of aryl 1-chloroalkyl sulfoxides to carbonylcompounds gave the adducts in good yields. The β-oxido carbenoid rearrangement of the
A novel method for generation of carbenoid from α-chloro sulfoxides: A new and versatile procedure for one-carbon homologation of carbonyl compounds to carbonyl compounds having an α-alkyl substituent
Addition of the carbanion of 1-chloroalkyl p-tolyl sulfoxides to carbonylcompound gave the adducts, which were treated with a base followed by t-butyllithium to afford one-carbon homologated carbonylcompounds having an alkyl group at the α-position, via the β-oxido carbenoids, in moderate to good yields.
Generation of Aziridinyllithiums from Sulfinylaziridines with tert-Butyllithium: Properties, Reactivity, and Application to a Synthesis of α,α-Dialkylamino Acid Esters and Amides Including an Optically Active Form
aziridinyllithiums having several alkyl groups were investigated. As an extension of this method, a synthesis of α,α-dialkylamino acid esters, including an opticallyactive form, and amides was realized via the aziridinyllithiums. N-Non substituted α,α-dialkylamino acid esters were synthesized starting from N-(4-methoxyphenyl) aldimine.
Ligand exchange reaction of sulfoxides in organic synthesis: A novel method for generation of magnesium enolates and its application to synthesis of [α]-halocarboxylic acid derivatives and [α]-haloaldehydes
yields. The magnesium enolates derived from the α-chloro-α-sulfinyl acid derivatives were trapped with carbonyl compounds to afford the adducts, which were transformed to α, β-epoxy carboxylic acid derivatives. Thermal elimination of the sulfinyl group in the α-halo-α-sulfinyl acid derivatives and the α-halo-α-sulfinyl aldehydes gave α-halo-α, β-unsaturated carboxylic acid derivatives and α-halo-α,
Ligand exchange reaction of sulfoxides in organic synthesis: A new method for generation of magnesium enolates of α-chloro carboxylic acids and their derivatives
Treatment of α-chloro α-sulfinyl carboxylic acid derivatives with EtMgBr in THF at low temperature gave magnesium enolates of the α-chloro carboxylic acid derivatives. The enolates reacted with ketones and aldehydes to afford aldol compounds (or α,β-epoxy acids) in good yields.
