Fe(II)-catalyzed imidation of allyl sulfides and subsequent

Allyl aryl sulfides 1 and 5 were shown to undergo an imidation/[2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement reaction upon treatment with N-tert-butyloxycarbonyl azide (BocN3) and catalytic amounts of FeCl2 in CH2Cl2. The N-Boc-protected N-allyl sulfenamides 3 and 21 were obtained in yields between 48 and 75% (12 examples). Whereas the reaction is well suited for the transformation of alpha-unbranched sulfides to alpha-branched sulfenamides, the enantiomerically pure alpha-branched sulfides 10 and 13 reacted sluggishly. The corresponding sulfenamides 22 and 23 were obtained in only moderate enantiomeric excess (36-39% ee). A reaction mechanism is proposed that postulates the intermediacy of an N-Boc-substituted Fe(IV)-nitrene complex 14 acting as the imidation reagent in the catalytic cycle. Possible side reactions are discussed. The benzenesulfenamides 3 were further converted into N-Boc-N-allylamines 4 by removal of the phenylsulfanyl group. Bu3SnH in benzene was found to be the reagent of choice for the deprotection of alpha-branched amines that bear a secondary allyl substituent (five examples, 71-93% yield). This method failed for the alpha-branched amines 3i-k with a tertiary allyl substituent. The phenylsulfanyl group was finally removed with P(OEt)3/NEt3 in CH2Cl2 (three examples, 43-62% yield).     

Palladium pincer complex-catalyzed trimethyltin substitution of functionalized propargylic substrates. An efficient route to propargyl- and allenyl-stannanes

Palladium pincer complex-catalyzed reaction of functionalized propargyl chloride (and mesylate) derivatives with hexamethylditin gives allenyl- and propargyl-stannane products. This catalytic activity is in sharp contrast with the reactivity of commonly used palladium(0) catalysts inducing addition of hexamethylditin to the triple bond. The product distribution of the pincer complex-catalyzed reaction is controlled by the substituent effects of the propargylic substrate: electron-withdrawing functionalities give mainly allenyl stannane products, while with electron-donating groups the main product is propargyl stannane. The catalytic reaction proceeds under very mild conditions tolerating many functionalities such as OH, OAc, NR3, and NR2Ac groups. Our mechanistic studies indicate that the key intermediate of the reaction is a monotrimethylstannane palladium pincer complex. A remarkable feature of the studied catalytic process is that the palladium catalyst does not undergo redox reactions, but its oxidation state is restricted to palladium(II). Since palladium(0) intermediates does not occur in this process, the catalyst is very stable and highly chemoselective.

Synthesis and neurotropic activity of silyl propargyl alcohols and sulfides

New silicon derivatives of hetaryl propargyl sulfides and propargyl alcohols were synthesized using phase‐transfer catalytic and organometallic methods. These compounds were tested for acute toxicity and neurotropic activity in the pentylenetetrazole test, and for phenamine hypothermia, phenamine hyperactivity and passive avoidance response tests. We have found that the silyl propargyl alcohols and sulfides are low toxicity compounds, the LD₅₀ being 700–1300 mg kg^?1. In the PAR test, the synthesized compounds exerted some memory‐improving activity. For di‐1‐(3‐methyl‐3‐hydroxybutyn‐1‐yl)methyl(3‐iodopropyl)silane ( 16 ) the effect was statistically significant and amounted to 250% of the control level. In the pentylenetetrazole test, all compounds possessed anticonvulsant activity, the most active compounds being 3‐(benzoxazolylthio)‐1‐propynyl(trimethyl)silane ( 6 ) and di‐[2‐(1‐hydroxycyclohexyl)ethynyl]methyl(3‐iodopropyl)silane ( 17 ). The phenamine‐induced hyperactivity was significantly elevated after treatment with (3‐trimethylsilyl‐2‐propynyl)thiobenzene ( 1 ) or di‐[1‐(3‐methyl‐3‐hydroxybutyn‐1‐yl)diphenylsilane ( 12 ). Our data show that these silicon derivatives of hetaryl propargyl sulfides and propargyl alcohols possess certain memory improving and anticonvulsant activity that should be studied in detail to evaluate the receptor systems involved.

Ruthenium porphyrin catalyzed tandem sulfonium/ammonium ylide formation and [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement. A concise synthesis of (+/-)-platynecine

meso-Tetrakis(p-tolyl)porphyrinatoruthenium(II) carbonyl, [Ru(II)(TTP)(CO)], can effect intermolecular sulfonium and ammonium ylide formation by catalytic decomposition of diazo compounds such as ethyl diazoacetate (EDA) in the presence of allyl sulfides and amines. Exclusive formation of [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement products (70-80% yields) was observed without [1,2]-rearrangement products being detected. The Ru-catalyzed reaction of EDA with disubstituted allyl sulfides such as crotyl sulfide produced an equimolar mixture of anti- and syn-2-(ethylthio)-3-methyl-4-pentenoic acid ethyl ester. The analogous "EDA + N,N-dimethylcrotylamine" reaction afforded a mixture of anti- and syn-2-(N,N-dimethylamino)-3-methyl-4-pentenoic acid ethyl esters with a diastereoselectivity of 3:1. The observed catalytic activity of [Ru(II)(TTP)(CO)] for the ylide [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement is comparable to the reported examples involving [Rh(2)(CH(3)CO(2))(4)] and [Cu(acac)(2)] as catalyst. Similarly, cyclic sulfonium and ammonium ylides can be produced by intramolecular reaction of a diazo group tethered to allyl sulfides and amines under the [Ru(II)(TTP)(CO)]-catalyzed reaction conditions. The subsequent [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of the cyclic ylides furnished 2-allyl-substituted sulfur and nitrogen heterocycles in good yields (>90%). By employing [Ru(II)(TTP)(CO)] as catalyst, the cyclic ammonium ylide [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement reaction was successfully applied for the total synthesis of (+/-)-platynecine starting from cis-2-butenediol.     

Bi(OTf)3 catalyzed synthesis of acyclic β-sulfanyl ketones via a tandem Meyer-Schuster rearrangement/conjugate addition reaction

A new strategy to prepare acyclic β-carbonyl thioethers from propargyl alcohols and sulfur nucleophiles is reported. The investigation of the reaction substrates scope indicated that primary 3-aryl propargyl alcohols and thiols underwent the transformation smoothly. The reaction probably proceeded a Bi(OTf)₃-catalyzed tandem Meyer-Schuster rearrangement of 3-aryl propargyl alcohol, followed by a thiol Michael conjugate addition of thiols to in situ generated α, β-unsaturated ketones. The method was 100% atom economic, high-yielding, and easy to handle, making it a valuable method for the construction of β-carbonyl sulfides.     

Platinum‐Catalyzed Multi‐Step Reaction of Propargyl Alcohols with N‐Heteroaromatics

N‐Methyl indole reacts with but‐2‐yn‐1‐ol in the presence of PtCl₂ in MeOH giving indole derivatives having a substituted 3‐oxobutyl group at the 3‐position in good yield. Under the reaction conditions, various substituted indoles and substituted propargyl alcohols are successfully involved in the reaction giving the corresponding addition products in good to moderate yields. The catalytic reaction can be further extended to N‐phenyl pyrrole. In the present multi‐step reaction, PtCl₂ likely plays dual roles: as the catalyst for the rearrangement of propargyl alcohols to the corresponding alkenyl ketones and as the catalyst for the addition of indoles to the alkenyl ketones. Experimental evidence is provided to support the proposed mechanism.

The catalyst can be isolated from the reaction mixture and reused at least five times. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Gold-catalyzed regioselective hydration of propargyl acetates assisted by a neighboring carbonyl group: access to α-acyloxy methyl ketones and synthesis of (±)-actinopolymorphol B

A general atom-economical approach for the synthesis of α-acyloxy methyl ketone is demonstrated through regioselective hydration of a wide range of propargyl acetates. Readily available catalyst comprising of 1% Ph(3)PAuCl and 1% AgSbF(6) in dioxane-H(2)O efficiently hydrolyzes the terminal alkynes of the propargyl acetate in the absence of acid promoters at ambient temperature within a short time. Effective regioselective hydration is facilitated by the neighboring carbonyl group as demonstrated through (18)O-labeling study. Compatibility of functional moieties and tolerance to various acid-labile protecting groups are observed. The catalytic condition is also suitable to perform hydration of TMS-substituted propargyl acetates, even though it requires prolonged reaction time for completion. Stereointegrity of the propargylic acetate is preserved during the hydration. The robustness of the system is successfully demonstrated through gram scale preparation of the product in nearly quantitative yield. The common α-acyloxy methyl ketone is transformed to 1,2-diol and 1,2-amino alcohol derivatives. Synthesis of actinopolymorphol B is achieved for the first time involving hydration of the propargyl acetate as the key step.

Synthesis and photochemical reaction of novel p-alkylcalix[n]arene derivatives containing cationically polymerizable groups

New photoreactive p-methylcalix[6]arene (MCA) derivatives containing cationically polymerizable groups such as propargyl ether (calixarene 1), allyl ether (calixarene 2), and ethoxy vinyl ether (calixarene 3) groups were synthesized with 80, 74, and 84% yields by the substitution reaction of MCA with propargyl bromide, allyl bromide, and 2-chloroethyl vinyl ether (CEVE), respectively, in the presence of either potassium hydroxide or sodium hydride by using tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) as a phase transfer catalyst (PTC). The p-tert-butylcalix[8]arene (BCA) derivative containing ethoxy vinyl ether groups (calixarene 4) was also synthesized in 83% yield by the substitution reaction of BCA with CEVE by using sodium hydride as a base and TBAB as a PTC. The MCA derivative containing 1-propenyl ether groups (calixarene 5) was synthesized in 80% yield by the isomerization of calixarene 2, which contained allyl ether groups, by using potassium tert-buthoxide as a catalyst. The photochemical reactions of carixarene 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 were examined with certain photoacid generators in the film state. In this reaction system, calixarene 3 containing ethoxy vinyl ether groups showed the highest photochemical reactivity when bis-[4-(diphenylsulfonio)phenyl]sulfide bis(hexafluorophosphate) (DPSP) was used as the catalyst. On the other hand, calixarene 1 containing propargyl ether groups had the highest photochemical reactivity when 4-morpholino-2,5-dibuthoxybenzenediazonium hexafluorophosphate (MDBZ) was used as the catalyst. It was also found that the prepared carixarene derivatives containing cationically polymerizable groups such as propargyl, allyl, vinyl, and also 1-propenyl ethers have good thermal stability. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

A versatile palladium-mediated three-component reaction for the one-pot synthesis of stereodefined 3-arylidene-(or 3-alkenylidene-)tetrahydrofurans.

A one-pot reaction between equimolecular amounts of various propargyl alcohols, Michael acceptors, and unsaturated halides (or triflates) in the presence of a palladium(0) catalyst provides a simple and flexible entry into highly substituted 3-arylidene-(or 3-alkenylidene-)tetrahydrofurans. The efficiency of this palladium-mediated three-component reaction has been shown to be strongly influenced by the nature of the catalyst system, and in this regard, a palladium(0) catalyst generated in situ by reduction of PdCl2(PPh3)2 with n-butyllithium has been found particularly effective.
