Palladium(II) mediated aziridination of olefins with bromamine-T as the nitrogen source: scope and mechanism
摘要:
The palladium(II)-promoted reaction of a variety of olefins and bromamine-T provided N-tosyl-2-substituted aziridines under mild conditions. Olefins bearing chiral appendages gave only a poor to modest diastereoselectivity. Appropriate deuterated olefins were selected to study the stereochemistry of the reaction. A Pd(IV) intermediate is proposed as the aziridinating species. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
A novel regio- and stereospecific hydrohalogenation reaction of 2-propynoic acid and its derivatives
摘要:
2-Propynoic acid and its derivatives are hydrohalogenated regio- and stereospecifically by reaction with lithium halides in acetic acid, or preferably with 1 equiv of acetic acid in refluxing CH3CN, to afford the thermodynamically unfavorable (Z)-3-halopropenoic acids and their derivatives as sole products. A rationale for the regio- and stereospecificity is briefly discussed.
