取代基电性效应对碳硅还原消除区域选择性调控的理论研究

有机反应区域选择性的调控是有机化学的重要研究内容之一,而电性效应则是其重要调控因素.运用密度泛函理论计算,以钯催化2-碘联苯化合物与硅杂环丁烷的环化反应为模板,研究了取代基电性效应在还原消除过程中对区域选择性的影响,并给出了该反应的详细反应机理.计算结果表明,该反应经历了Pd—I键氧化加成、协同金属去质子、Pd—Si键氧化加成、还原消除过程得到硅杂八元环产物,且C—Si键还原消除是反应的速率决定步骤.对Pd(IV)还原消除过渡态中电子效应的研究证明,当使用不对称2-碘联苯作为反应底物时,芳环电子密度是区域选择性的主要控制因素,电子密度更高的基团更容易发生还原消除,与该基元反应电子流向一致.

铜催化CO2和1-苯基丙炔的氢羧基化反应机理及区域选择性

采用密度泛函理论(DFT)方法研究了在还原剂(EtO)₃SiH存在下, 铜(I) (Cl₂IPrCuF)催化CO₂插入1-苯基丙炔生成α,β不饱和羧酸的反应机理. 计算结果表明, Cl₂IPrCuF 首先与(EtO)₃SiH 生成活性催化剂Cl₂IPrCuH,然后经历三个步骤完成催化反应: (1) Cl₂IPrCuH 与1-苯基丙炔加成生成烯基铜中间体. 由于炔烃的不对称性,烯基铜中间体有两种同分异构体, 最后可导致生成两种对应的α,β不饱和羧酸衍生物; (2) CO₂插入烯基铜中间体得到羧基铜中间体; (3) (EtO)₃SiH 与羧基铜中间体发生σ转位反应形成最终产物, 同时重新生成催化剂Cl₂IPrCuH. 理论研究还表明, 生成两种α,β不饱和羧酸衍生物的反应路径所对应的决速步骤不同, 在Path a 中炔烃插入反应和CO₂插入反应都可能是整个催化反应的决速步骤, 自由能垒分别为68.6 和67.8 kJ·mol^-1, 而在Path b中, 仅炔烃插入反应是整个催化反应的决速步骤, 自由能垒为78.7 kJ·mol^-1. 此结果很好地给出了实验上两种α,β不饱和羧酸衍生物收率不同的原因. 炔烃与Cl₂IPrCuH的加成决定了反应的区域选择性, 其中电子效应是影响反应区域选择性的主要原因.

Uncatalysed coupling of an activated aryl chloride with aryllithium and aryl Grignard reagents

Substitution of the chloro group in 2-(2-chlorophenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2-oxazoline to afford biaryls occurs upon reaction with either aryllithium reagents or aryl Grignard reagents. The reactions with Grignard reagents occur under similar conditions to a previously reported manganese-catalysed procedure. The reactions with lithium reagents, whilst not always affording greater yields of product than the Grignard reagents, involve much shorter reaction times and afford yields, which are comparable with those obtained from the corresponding fluoro derivative.     

Addition of grignard reagents to aryl acid chlorides: an efficient synthesis of aryl ketones

[chemical reaction: see text]. Direct addition of Grignard reagents to acid chlorides in the presence of bis[2-(N,N-dimethylamino)ethyl] ether proceeds selectively to provide aryl ketones in high yields. A possible tridentate interaction between Grignard reagents and bis[2-(N,N-dimethylamino)ethyl] ether moderates the reactivity of Grignard reagents, preventing the newly formed ketones from nucleophilic addition by Grignard reagents.     

Ligand exchange reactions of aryl pyridyl sulfoxides with grignard reagents: Convenient preparation of 3- and 4-pyridyl grignard reagents and examination of the leaving abilities of pyridyl anions

Aryl 3- and 4-pyridyl sulfoxides undergo ligand exchange in reactions with aryl Grignard reagents to generate 3- and 4-pyridyl Grignard reagents, which, upon treatment with aldehydes or ketones, give the corresponding addition products in moderate-to-good yields. The mechanism for the exchange reaction was investigated by treating optically active 3- and 4-pyridyl p-tolyl sulfoxides with a phenyl Grignard reagent. Inversion of the configuration of the sulfur atom was the stereochemical result of the reactions. In the reactions of phenyl 2-pyridyl sulfoxide with Grignard reagents, the leaving ability of the 2-pyridyl group competes with that of the phenyl group. Both the experimental and MO calculated enthalpy values for deprotonation of α-, β-, and γ-protons of pyridine in the gas phase [1] are in accordance with the following order of the leaving abilities of aryl and pyridyl Grignard reagents: 4-PyMgBr > 3-PyMgBr » PhMgBr > p-TolMgBr > 2-PyMgBr.     

Synthesis of N,N‐Dimethylamines via Barbier–Grignard‐Type Electrophilic Amination

Aryl Grignard reagents react with N,N‐dimethyl O‐(mesitylenesulfonyl)hydroxylamine in THF under Barbier conditions at room temperature and give N,N‐dimethylanilines with high yields in a 2‐h reaction. The amination yield of in situ Grignard reagents were not lower than those of preformed aryl Grignard reagents. In situ cycloalkyl‐, allyl‐, and benzylmagnesium bromides did not react with N,N‐dimethyl O‐(mesitylenesulfonyl)hydroxylamine, except that amination of in situ n‐hexylmagnesium bromide resulted in a medium yield. Grignard–Barbier‐type amination of aryl bromides with N,N‐dimethyl O‐(mesitylenesulfonyl)hydroxylamine provides a new alternative route for the synthesis of N,N‐dimethylanilines.     

Regioselective arylation of 3-bromopyridine

The addition of aryl Grignard reagents to the 1-phenoxycarbonyl salt of 3-bromopyridine affords 2-aryl-5-bromo-1-phenoxycarbonyl-1,2-dihydropyridines and 4-aryl-3-bromo-1-phenoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydropyridines. The crude dihydropyridines were aromatized with o-chloranil in refluxing toluene to give 4- and 6-aryl-3-bromopyridines. The regioselectivity of this two-step process, 6- vs. 4-substitution, was examined and found to be dependent upon the structure of the Grignard reagent. Unhindered aryl Grignard reagents, e.g., phenyl and 2-naphthyl, gave mainly 6-aryl-3-bromopyridines (49-52%) along with 9% of the 4-substituted isomer and less than 4% of the 2-aryl-3-bromopyridine. Hindered aryl Grignard reagents, e.g., o-tolyl and 1-naphthyl, are less regioselective. When a catalytic amount of cuprous iodide is present during the Grignard reaction, nearly exclusive 1,4-addition results. The crude 4-aryl-3-bromo-1,4-dihydropyridines were aromatized with p-chloranil to provide 4-aryl-3-bromopyridines in good yield and high isomeric purity. The sequential use of the cuprous iodide-catalyzed Grignard reaction and the “normal” Grignard reaction provided a regiospeci-fic synthesis of 3-bromo-6-(p-methoxyphenyl)-4-phenylpyridine from 3-bromopyridine.     

Direct Arylation/Alkylation/Magnesiation of Benzyl Alcohols in the Presence of Grignard Reagents via Ni-, Fe-, or Co-Catalyzed sp(3) C-O Bond Activation

Direct application of benzyl alcohols (or their magnesium salts) as electrophiles in various reactions with Grignard reagents has been developed via transition metal-catalyzed sp(3) C-O bond activation. Ni complex was found to be an efficient catalyst for the first direct cross coupling of benzyl alcohols with aryl/alkyl Grignard reagents, while Fe, Co, or Ni catalysts could promote the unprecedented conversion of benzyl alcohols to benzyl Grignard reagents in the presence of (n)hexylMgCl. These methods offer straightforward pathways to transform benzyl alcohols into a variety of functionalities.     

Mercury-free preparation and selective reactions of propargyl (and propargylic) Grignard reagents

ZnBr2 was found to catalyze formation of propargyl and propargylic Grignard reagents, and thus put an end to the standard method using a mercury catalyst. The Grignard reagents were submitted to addition reaction with carbonyl compounds and allylation with the cyclic monoacetate to afford the propargyl-type products selectively. Furthermore, the product from the monoacetate was transformed to an acetylene analogue of 2-(5,6-epoxyisoprostane A2)phosphorylcholines.     

1,6-Asymmetric induction during the conjugate addition of arylcopper reagents to a chiral sulfinyl-substituted pyrrolyl alpha,beta-unsaturated amide.

The asymmetric conjugate addition of arylcopper reagents derived from aryl Grignard reagents and copper(I) iodide to a chiral 1-[2-(p-tolylsulfinyl)]pyrrolyl cinnamide proceeded smoothly to give (3R)-adducts with high diastereoselectivities (> or =92% de) in high yields. Conjugate additions either of the cinnamide with the alkyl Grignard reagent-copper(l) iodide combination or of the crotonamide derivative with aryl Grignard reagent-copper(l) iodide gave moderate to good diastereoselectivities. With these sulfinyl pyrrolyl alpha,beta-unsaturated amides, the chiral auxiliary was efficiently recovered without any loss of optical purity after asymmetric conjugate addition.     

Mild iodine-magnesium exchange of iodoaromatics bearing a pyrimidine ring with isopropylmagnesium chloride

[reaction: see text] Iodoaromatics bearing a reactive pyrimidine ring underwent a clean iodine-magnesium exchange with isopropylmagnesium chloride in the presence of bis[2-(N,N-dimethylamino)ethyl] ether to provide the corresponding Grignard reagents. The presence of bis[2-(N,N-dimethylamino)ethyl] ether prevented reduction of the pyrimidine ring and addition by isopropylmagnesium chloride. As a result, the newly formed reactive Grignard reagents were allowed to react with electrophiles in a highly selective manner to afford adducts in excellent yields.     

Diastereoselective synthesis of (E)-alkenes and (E)-1,ω-dienes starting from diastereoisomeric mixtures of 1-bromo-1-alkenes: New syntheses of monounsaturated or bridged ring-ketal naturally occurring substances.

The PdCl₂ (dppf)-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction between diastereoisomeric mixtures of 1-bromo-1-alkenes which contain n equiv. of (E)-stereoisomers and n equiv. of Grignard reagents allows to obtain (E)-alkenes or (E)-1-ω-dienes having 95.5–99% stereoisopmeric purity in satisfactory yields. Such compounds are useful precursors to several naturally occuring substances.
