The Effect of Ring Size on Tetrahedral Displacement Reactions of Cyclic Imidates. Synthesis of O-(Fluoroalkyl)lactim and Higher O-Alkyllactims from Lower O-Alkyllactims
摘要:
A recently developed synthesis of 2-(perfluoroalkyl)ethanols (R(F)CH(2)CH(2)OH) is based on heating 2-(perfluoroalkyl)-1-iodoethanes R(F)CH(2)CH(2)I with an amide, e.g., N-methylformamide or a lactam, 2-pyrrolidinone. The presumed O-[2-(perfluoroalkyl)ethyl]lactim intermediates have now been prepared in good to excellent yields (60-90%) by heating a lower molecular mass O-alkyllactim with a higher-boiling alcohol, e.g., with R(F)CH(2)CH(2)OH, to displace the lower boiling alcohol. Competitive rate experiments showed that a 7-membered O-methyllactim reacted four to five times faster than did the 5-membered O-methyllactim. This difference is attributed to increased eclipsing strain, commonly called ''I-strain''. In a ''planar'' 5-membered lactim ring, the engendered eclipsing strain appears to be greater than in the more flexible 7-membered ring. Reactant ratio and reaction conditions also affected the yield of lactim ether. Preparatively, reaction of C6F13CH2CH2OH (3) with O-ethylbutyrolactim (6) gave O-[2-(perfluorohexyl)ethyl]butyrolactim (7) in an 89.2% yield (on unrecovered 3) at 67.9% conversion. Yield was limited by dealkylation and condensation reactions that occurred during long heating times. By contrast, alcohol 3 with O-methylcaprolactim (10) gave 7-membered O-[2-(F-hexyl)ethyl]caprolactim (11) in 98% yield at 90% conversion.
