Synthesis of nitrogen-containing heterocycles from the azido-selenenylation products of unsaturated carbonyl compounds
摘要:
Terminal alkenes containing a remote carbonyl group reacted with iodobenzene diacetate, diphenyl diselenide, and sodium azide to afford the products of azido-phenylselenenylation of the double bond. Owing to its radical nature, this reaction proceeded with complete anti-Markovnikov regioselectivity. Under the influence of triphenylphosphine in benzene the azido group reacted with the carbonyl function to afford the corresponding ring-closure reaction products containing a carbon nitrogen double bond. Thus, starting from beta,gamma- or gamma,delta-unsaturated esters, the corresponding cyclic imino ethers were obtained. These could not be isolated but were directly transformed into beta-(phenylseleno) gamma-lactams or gamma-(phenylseleno) delta-lactams. The phenylseleno derivatives of tetrahydropyridine were formed starting both from gamma,delta-unsaturated ketones and from alpha-allyl beta-keto esters. In the latter case, the cyclization reaction is chemoselective and involves the ketonic carbonyl. The oxidation of these compounds with hydrogen peroxide directly produced the corresponding pyridines via selenoxide elimination followed by dehydrogenation. This simple reaction sequence represents a very useful general method to build up a 2-substituted pyridine ring. Several alkyl-, aryl-, and heteroarylpyridines, bipyridines, and a terpyridine have been prepared.
Novel azido-phenylselenenylation of double bonds. Evidence for a free-radical process
摘要:
A simple and mild azido-phenylselenenylation of terminal alkenes, which proceeds with complete anti-Markovnikov regioselectivity, has been developed. This reaction occurs when the alkenes are treated with (diacetoxyiodo)benzene, sodium azide, and diphenyl diselenide in dichloromethane at room temperature. The observed regioselectivity can be explained by assuming that the addition process is initiated by azido radicals. This was further supported by the results obtained starting from 1,6-heptadiene and from beta-pinene. Under the same conditions, efficient azido-phenylselenenylation of symmetrical olefins, 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran, methyl acrylate, and vinyl crotonate can also be effected.
Simple alkenes react with PhSeOTf and NaN3 in MeCN to afford beta-phenylseleno azides as the result of a stereospecific trans addition. The regioselectivity of the process is determined by the structure of the alkene.
