Intramolecular Hydroalkoxylation of Unactivated Alkenes Using Silane–Iodine Catalytic System
摘要:
A novel catalytic system using I-2 and PhSiH3 for the intramolecular hydroalkoxylation of unactivated alkenes is described. NMR study indicated that in situ generated PhSiH2I is a possible active catalytic species. This catalytic system allows an efficient intramolecular hydroalkoxylation of phenyl-, trialkyl-, and 1,1-dialkyl-substituted alkenes as well as a variety of unactivated monoalkyl- and 1,2-dialkyl-substituted alkenes at room temperature. Mechanistic consideration based on significant experimental observations is also discussed.
Tetrahydrofur-2-ylmethyl radicals were stereoselectively generated from substituted pent-4-en-1-ols in aerobic cobalt(II)-catalyzed oxidations. Intermediates were trapped with cyclohexa-1,4-diene, gamma-terpinene, BrCCl3, diethyl dibromomalonate, or electron-deficient olefins such as acrylonitrile or dimethyl fumarate to afford functionalized tetrahydrofurans in synthetically useful yields.
