Ferrier Rearrangement under Nonacidic Conditions Based on Iodonium-Induced Rearrangements of Allylic n-Pentenyl Esters, n-Pentenyl Glycosides, and Phenyl Thioglycosides
Dipent-4-enyl acetals, which are congeniently prepared by treating ketones or aldehydes with pen-4-enyl alcohol under standard conditions, readily acetalize diols in acetonitrtile solvent, and although neutral promoters such as N-halogenosuccinimides and iodonium dicollidine peerchlorate are effective, the rates and yields are greatly enhanced by the addition of catalytic amounts of an acid.

A Solvation-Assisted Model for Estimating Anomeric Reactivity. Predicted versus Observed Trends in Hydrolysis of <i>n</i>-Pentenyl Glycosides<sup>1</sup>
An attempt has been made to predict qualitative trends in reactivity at the anomeric center, using N-bromosuccinimide-induced hydrolysis of n-pentenyl glycosides (NPGs) as the experimental model. Calculated relative activation energies based on internal energy differences between a reactant and the associated intermediate are not always in agreement with experimental observations. However, solvation energies obtained by the generalized Born surface area model in MacroModel developed by Still et al. give modified activation energies that are in excellent agreement with the experimentally observed trends. It is shown that the solvation model does not disturb the normally observed reactivity trends that can be rationalized on the basis of internal energies alone. The value of the methodology has been demonstrated for several substrates by first-calculating their relative activation energies, then testing them experimentally, and finding excellent agreement with predictions.
