Indium-mediated allylation/propargylation of α-diazoketones: a facile synthesis of 1-bromo-2-alkyl- or 2-arylpent-4-en-2-ols

α-Diazoketones undergo smooth allylation with successive bromide insertion with allylindium bromide generated in situ from allyl bromide and indium metal to produce 1-bromo-2-alkyl- or 2-arylpent-4-en-2-ols in high yields. Addition of propargylindium bromide produces 1-bromo-2-alkyl-or 2-arylpent-4-yn-2-ols under similar conditions.     

High-vacuum pyrolysis of 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-bromo-2-chloroethane. IR spectrum of 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-chloroethyl radical in an argon matrix

The products of high-vacuum pyrolysis of 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-bromo-2-chloroethane were studied by matrix IR spectroscopy. The decomposition of 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-bromo-2-chloroethane was shown to occur predominantlyvia two directions: to form the 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-chloroethyl radical and trifluoromethylcarbene isomerizing to trifluoroethylene. The CF₃CHCl radical has been detected in the matrix for the first time. The bands observed in the IR spectrum were calculated by the quantum-chemical B3LYP/6-311 G(d,p) method and assigned to normal vibrations of the radical. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

The synthesis of (+)-aspergillide B is described by means of a highly diastereoselective oxocarbenium allylation followed by a cross-metathesis and final Yamaguchi macrolactonization.     

Synthesis of 3,3,3-trifluoropropionic and 4,4,4-trifluoro-2-ketobutyric acids

Trifluoroethyl cyclohexyl ketone ($\text{4}$) is prepared by acylation of difluoroethylene ($\text{2}$) with cyclohexanecarboxylic acid chloride ($\text{1}$), followed by Cl→F exchange with potassium fluoride in the presence of triethylbenzyl- ammonium chloride. Bayer-Villiger oxidation of ketone ($\text{4}$) with trifluoroperacetic acid gives cyclohexyl trifluoropropionate ($\text{5}$). 3,3,3-trifluoropropionic acid ($\text{6}$) is obtained by treatment of ($\text{5}$) with trimethylsilyl iodide. Condensation of 2,2,2-trifluorodiazoethane ($\text{7}$) with ethyl glyoxylate ($\text{8}$) gives mainly ethyl 4,4,4-trifluoro-2-ketobutyric acid ester ($\text{9}$) which leads after hydrolysis to the corresponding acid ($\text{12}$).     

1,1,1-Trifluoropropan-2-ammonium triflate enantiomers: stereoselective synthesis and direct use in reaction with epoxides

A three-step synthesis of enantiomerically enriched 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-propanamine based on the use of a chiral sulfinamide auxiliary is described. The reduction of the geometrically pure Z-sulfinimine (NOE, HOE) with NaBH₄ or l-Selectride leads to the corresponding (R)- or (S)-configured amine derivatives (X-ray crystallographic analysis) with 92–96% de. The typical models to explain the stereoselection for these reducing agents fail to rationalize the obtained stereoselectivities, and an in situ imine isomerization is proposed to occur. The direct use of the hydrochloric acid salt (with excess Et₃N) of this poorly nucleophilic amine for epoxide opening reactions is not possible due to the higher nucleophilicity of chloride. Hence, a novel triflate salt is introduced, synthesized through ready sulfinamide hydrolysis with trimethylsilyl triflate, which can be used directly, without the need of isolating the pure amine beforehand.

Photodissociation of 1-bromo-2-butene, 4-bromo-1-butene, and cyclopropylmethyl bromide at 234 nm studied using velocity map imaging

We present photofragment imaging experiments to characterize potential photolytic precursors of three C4H7 radical isomers: 1-methylallyl, cyclopropylmethyl, and 3-buten-1-yl radicals. The experiments use 2+1 resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) with velocity map imaging to state-selectively detect the Br(2P(3/2)) and Br(2P(1/2)) atoms as a function of their recoil velocity imparted upon photodissociation of 1-bromo-2-butene, cyclopropylmethyl bromide, and 4-bromo-1-butene at 234 nm as well as the angular distributions of the photofragments. Energy and momentum conservation allows the internal energy distribution of the nascent momentum-matched radicals to be derived. The radicals are detected with single photon photoionization at 157 nm. In the case of the 1-methylallyl radical the photoionization cross section is expected to be independent of internal energy in the range of 7-30 kcal/mol. Thus, comparison of the product recoil kinetic energy distribution derived from the measurement of the 1-methylallyl velocity distribution, detecting the radicals with 157 nm photoionization, with a linear combination of the Br atom recoil kinetic energy distributions allows us to derive reliable REMPI line strength ratios for the detection of Br atoms and to test the assumption that the photoionization cross section does not strongly depend on the internal energy of the radical. This line strength ratio is then used to determine the branching to the Br(2P(3/2)) and Br(2P(1/2)) product channels for the other two photolytic systems and to determine the internal energy distribution of their momentum-matched radicals. (We also revisit earlier work on the photodissociation of cyclobutyl bromide which detected the Br atoms and momentum-matched cyclobutyl radicals.) This allows us to test whether the 157 nm photoionization of these radicals is insensitive to internal energy for the distribution of total internal (vibrational+rotational) energy produced. We find that 157 nm photoionization of cyclopropylmethyl radicals is relatively insensitive to internal energy, while 3-buten-1-yl radicals show a photoionization cross section that is markedly dependent on internal energy with the lowest internal energy radicals not efficiently detected by photoionization at 157 nm. We present electronic structure calculations of the radicals and their cations to understand the experimental results.     

A straightforward stereoselective synthesis of D- and L-5-hydroxy-4-hydroxymethyl-2-cyclohexenylguanine.

A novel and facile synthesis of 5-hydroxy-4-hydroxymethyl-2-cyclohexenylguanine 1 is described. The key steps involve a Diels-Alder reaction of ethyl (2E)-3-acetyloxy-2-propenoate 2 as dienophile with Danishefsky's diene 3 to build up the six-membered ring skeleton, a Fraser-Reid reductive rearrangement of the adduct using LiAlH(4), and base-moiety introduction using a Mitsunobu reaction. Optically pure D- and L-1 were obtained via resolution of intermediate 7 with (R)-(-)-methylmandelic acid. The synthetic procedure toward racemic 1 consists of only five steps and has proven to be highly efficient toward the synthesis of cyclohexenyl nucleosides.

Cycloadditions between methyl (Z)-2-bromo-4,4,4-trifluoro-2-butenoate and various tosylacetamides: Synthesis of trifluoromethylated pyroglutamates and 2-pyridones derivatives

Cycloaddition reactions between methyl (Z)-2-bromo-4,4,4-trifluoro-2-butenoate and various 2-tosylacetamides are described. Various 2-tosylacetamides react with methyl (Z)-2-bromo-4,4,4-trifluoro-2-butenoate in the presence of NaH at room temperature in one step to form trifluoromethylated pyroglutamates as single diastereomers. However, employing the same reactants using t-BuOK as base at ?78?°C results in the formation of trifluoromethylated 2-pyridones. A ring-closure mechanism is proposed for the reaction.     

Vibrational assignment and rotational isomerism of 2-chloro-1-butene and 2-bromo-1-butene

Infrared spectra were obtained for 2-chloro-l-butene and 2-bromo-l-butene that show the presence of trans and gauche rotamers in both compounds. Vibrational assignments were made with the aid of normal coordinate calculations that utilized a thirty-eight parameter valence force field.

Condensation of (E)-1,1,1-trifluoro-2-methyl-2-penten-4-one with malonodinitrile affords mixtures of unsaturated nitriles. Attempted cyclization of these nitriles in concentrated sulfuric acid furnishes derivatives of alkylidenecyanoacetamides and alkylidenemalonodiamide.     

Regiospecific and highly stereoselective allylation of aldehydes with allyltrifluorosilane activated by fluoride ions.

Indium-mediated asymmetric Barbier-type allylation of aldimines in alcoholic solvents: synthesis of optically active homoallylic amines

[reaction: see text] Chiral aldimines derived from phenylglycinol were diastereoselectively allylated with indium powder/allyl bromide in alcoholic solvents. Both aliphatic and aromatic aldimines provided good yield of the desired products with high diastereoselectivity. A racemization-free protocol for removal of the phenylglycinol auxiliary was also developed. The stereochemical assignment of the homoallylic amine was made by NMR spectroscopy and a transition state model was proposed to explain the selectivity.     

A new strategy for the synthesis of hydroxylated pyrrolizidinic alkaloids by highly stereoselective indium-mediated allylation of pyrrolidinic aldehydes

Indium-mediated allylation of N-Cbz-l-prolinal 3, under Grignard conditions, was carried out with high yield and stereoselectivity (de = 90%) to afford intermediate (2S,1′R)-N-benzyloxycarbonyl-2-(1′-hydroxybut-3′-en-1′-yl)pyrrolidine 4, which was transformed in two steps into (1R,3R,7aS)-1-hydroxy-3-hydroxymethylpyrrolizidine 9. Commercial Cbz-l-proline was a source of functionalization and chirality.     

A highly stereoselective approach to the synthesis of functionalized pyran derivatives by Lewis acid assisted ketal reduction and allylation

Reduction of bicyclic ketal 1 gave functionalized pyran derivatives 7a or 7b in a highly stereoselective manner, depending upon the reduction conditions utilized. For example, treatment of ketal 1 with TiCl4/Et3SiH produced exclusively diol 7b with the 2,5-syn relationship in good yield. Alternatively, reduction of ketal 1 by DIBALH gave 2,5-anti-diol 7a stereoselectively. Alane reductions of ketal 1 were highly stereoselective also; however, the syn/anti selectivity observed was strongly dependent on the ratio of reagents employed for in situ generation of the alane. Lewis acid catalyzed allylation of ketal 1 gave pyran 10 in a stereospecific alkylation reaction.     

Indium-mediated allylation of aldehydes, ketones and sulfonimines with 2-(alkoxy)allyl bromides

2-(Alkoxy)propenyl bromides are readily prepared from 1,3-dibromo-2-propanol in a two-step sequence involving hydroxyl protection and sodium hydride-induced dehydrobromination. Indium-mediated allylation of aldehydes, ketones, and sulfonimines with 2-(alkoxy)propenyl bromides furnishes the corresponding homoallylic alcohols and sulfonamines in good yields. The products can be easily transformed into β-hydroxy ketones and esters, as well as substituted dihydropyrans, and protected β-amino acids. Chiral 2-(alkoxy)propenyl halides, derived from (−)-menthol and d-glucal, furnish diastereomerically enriched products.
