Reductive and Brominative Termination of Alkenol Cyclization in Aerobic Cobalt-Catalyzed Reactions
摘要:
Tetrahydrofur-2-ylmethyl radicals were stereoselectively generated from substituted pent-4-en-1-ols in aerobic cobalt(II)-catalyzed oxidations. Intermediates were trapped with cyclohexa-1,4-diene, gamma-terpinene, BrCCl3, diethyl dibromomalonate, or electron-deficient olefins such as acrylonitrile or dimethyl fumarate to afford functionalized tetrahydrofurans in synthetically useful yields.
radicals sharing two or more carbon atoms with a cycloalkane cyclize in a predictable manner stereoselectively and regioselectively to afford in solutions of bromotrichloromethane cycloalkyl-fused or -bridged 2-bromomethyltetrahydrofurans in up to 95% yield. Stereoselectivity in alkenoxyl radical ring closures arises from cumulative steric effects. The substituent positioned the closest to the alkene carbon
In a comparative study, reactions between 5-(p-methoxyphenyl)-substituted 3-alkoxy-4-methylthiazole-2(3H)-thiones and appropriate mediators (BrCCl3, Bu3SnH) provided higher yields of alkoxyl radical products (δ-bromohydrins, cyclic ethers, carbonyl compounds) than respective transformations of 5-phenyl- and 5-methyl-substituted derivatives. The unusual selectivity of applied thiohydroxamates to furnish

Visible light-initiated or thermally induced N-O homolysis of hitherto unknown 4-methyl-5-(p-anisyl)-substituted N-alkoxythiazolethiones furnishes alkoxyl radicals, which have been applied in the diastereoselective synthesis of bicyclic tetrahydrofuran rac-5 (5-exo-trig cyclization), formation of erythrose derivative 8 (β-C,C cleavage), and the preparation of bromoalcohol 10 (via selective 1,5-H-translocation)
