Stereoselective Synthesis of Vinyl Ethers by the Reaction of N-(Arylidene(or alkylidene)amino)-2-azetidinones with Ozone
摘要:
Ozonolysis of N-(arylidene(or alkylidene)amino)-2-azetidinones followed by NaBH4 workup yields enol ethers in good yields with high levels of stereoselectivity. Di- and trisubstituted olefin derivatives are available through this procedure. Chiral 2-azetidinones lead to enol ethers with a chiral moiety without racemization. The reaction is thought to occur through a novel B-type fragmentation of the 2-azetidinone ring. This process is closely related to the well-known N-nitrosoamide to ester rearrangement and the decarboxylation of oxetan-2-ones.
α‐Alkoxycarbonyl and α‐aminocarbonyl compounds are good substrates for the recently developed tosylhydrazide‐promoted Pd‐catalyzed cross‐coupling of carbonyls with aryl halides. The reaction gives rise to enolethers and enamines, respectively, which are useful synthetic intermediates in heterocyclic synthesis. Otherwise, they can be hydrolyzed to give α,α‐disubstituted aldehydes.
Benzyl vinylethers have selectively been arylated at either α or β position by fine-tuned Heck-type palladium catalyses. In contrast to previous protocols, no excess of arylating reagent or substrate chelation is necessary. For achieving good yields and high α/β-selectivities various factors determining the catalytic system had to be optimized. The results of DFT computational studies correlate selectivity
