Direct Catalytic Anti-Markovnikov Hydroetherification of Alkenols
摘要:
A direct intramolecular anti-Markovnikov hydroetherification reaction of alkenols is described. By employing Catalytic quantities of commercially available 9-mesityl-10-methylacridinium perchlorate and 2-phenyl-malononitrile as a redox-cycling source of a H-atom, we report the anti-Markovnikov hydroetherification of alkenes with complete regioselectivity, In addition, we present results demonstrating that this novel catalytic system can be applied to the anti-Markovnikov hydrolactonization of alkenoic acids.

A method of making an anti-Markovnikov addition product is carried out by reacting an acid with an alkene or alkyne in a dual catalyst reaction system to the exclusion of oxygen to produce said anti-Markovnikov addition product; the dual catalyst reaction system comprising a single electron oxidation catalyst in combination with a hydrogen atom donor catalyst. Compositions useful for carrying out such methods are also described.
