Electron-transfer reduction of selected alcohols with alkalide K−, K+(15-crown-5)2 via organometallic intermediates
摘要:
The course of the reaction of alkalide K-, K+(15-crown-5)(2) 1 with selected alcohols depends on the kind of alcohol and the mode of substrate delivery. In the case of methanol, potassium methoxide formed initially undergoes destruction at the excess of 1. It results in potassium oxide and methylpotassium. The latter opens the crown ether ring giving potassium tetraethylene glycoxide vinyl ether and methane. A similar course of the process is observed for propanol. Potassium glycidoxide is the main product formed in the reaction of 1 with glycidol. Its oxirane ring is opened at the excess of 1. Organopotassium alkoxides, i.e., potassium potassiomethoxide and dipotassium potassiopropane-1,2-dioxide are intermediate products of this reaction. They react then with the crown ether. Potassium methoxide, potassium enolate of acetaldehyde, dipotassium, propane-1,2-dioxide and potassium tetraethylene glycoxide vinyl ether are the final products of this process.

alkyl glycidylethers affects the course of their reaction with K−, K+(15-crown-5)2. The cyclic oxirane ring is exclusively cleaved in the case of butyl glycidylether whereas the presence of the unsaturated allyl group in the glycidylether molecule unexpectedly prefers the scission of the linear ether bond. In both the systems organometallic intermediates are formed. They react with crown ether causing
The structure of vinylethers determines the direction of the C–O bond cleavage by alkalide K−, K+(15-crown-5)21. Highly reactive organopotassium compounds are intermediate products formed in the system containing phenylvinylether, butyl vinylether, ethylene glycol butyl vinylether or triethylene glycol methyl vinylether. Vinylpotassium and butylpotassium react with 15-crown-5. The oxacyclic ring
new mechanism of the reaction of K−, K+(15-crown-5)2 with phenylglycidylether is presented. The linear ether bond is attacked only to a small extent, if at all. As the main reaction path the oxirane bond in the β-position is cleaved, followed by the γ-elimination of potassium phenoxide and the formation of potassium cyclopropoxide. Crown ether ring opening also occurs in reactions with organometallic
oxacyclic rings occurs in the reaction of K−, K+(15-crown-5)2 with oxetane in tetrahydrofuran solution. Oxetane ring opening leads to the formation of organometallic compounds, which react with the crown molecule. Potassium methoxide, potassium n-propoxide as well as potassium tetra(ethylene glycoxide) vinyl ether are the main reaction products. It means that crownether can act both as an activator and as
contact with 15-crown-5 hexane solution became potassium sodide K+(15-crown-5)2Na−. After the evaporation of hexane the crystalline solid product was analyzed by X-ray diffraction and the lattice parameters were calculated. The potassium sodide thus obtained could be easily dissolved in tetrahydrofuran. A deep blue solution containing sodium anions and complexed potassium cations was formed with a very
