Alkylation of 2-lithio-N-methylpiperidines and -pyrrolidines: scope, limitations, and stereochemistry
摘要:
The scope and limitations of the alkylation of racemic and nonracemic 2-lithiopiperidines and -pyrrolidines, obtained by transmetalation of the corresponding stannanes, is reported. These organolithiums react with a variety of electrophiles to afford 2-substituted pyrrolidines and piperidines in excellent yield. With primary alkyl halides the reaction proceeds with net inversion of configuration at the metal-bearing carbon in the piperidines; in the pyrrolidines there is a mixture of inversion and retention, with the former predominating. With most carbonyl electrophiles (carbon dioxide, dimethyl carbonate, methyl chloroformate, pivaloyl chloride, benzaldehyde, and dialkyl ketones), retention is observed in both cases. Electrophiles such as benzophenone, benzyl bromide, and tert-butyl bromoacetate afford racemic coupling products. A mechanistic interpretation is presented.

The steric course of the [2,3]-rearrangement of several unstabilized nitrogen ylides has been investigated. The reactions proceed cleanly through an anti transition state, affording modest to good yields of a single diastereomer of the product. In two examples containing an N-cinnamyl group, a competing [1,2]-rearrangement affords a minor product.

search for configurationallystable α-amino carbanions has led to an interesting observation of differing reactivity of diastereomeric organolithiums and to the characterization of aracemic 2-lithio-N-methylpiperidine and 2-lithio-N-methylpyrrolidine as configurationallystable α-aminoorganolithiums. Details for the preparation of these and related α-lithioheterocycles, evaluation of their chemical and configurational
