A first example of an Et₂Zn mediated silylation of 1-aklynes is reported. A series of functional groups are tolerated in this reaction. Mechanistic studies support Zn alkynilides as intermediates in the reaction. This reaction protocol provides a practical method for the preparation of alkynylsilanes and expands the application of organometallic zinc in organic synthesis.     

CF3CO2ZnEt-mediated highly regioselective rearrangement of bromohydrins to aldehydes

A highly efficient and selective rearrangement reaction of bromohydrins to aldehydes mediated by CF₃CO₂ZnEt was described.

Unusual rearrangement in the reaction of cyclopropanated cyclopentadienes with Et3Al/CH2I2 in CH2Cl2

The reaction of Et₃Al/CH₂I₂ reagent with cyclopropanated spiro[2.4]hepta-4,6-diene and 6-substituted fulvenes in CH₂Cl₂ was found to lead to the selective formation of rearrangement products through sequential cyclopropyl-allyl rearrangement and cyclopropanation.     

Me2Zn-mediated addition of acetylenes to aldehydes and ketones

[reaction: see text] Contrary to expectations, commercially available 2 M Me2Zn in toluene is able to promote the addition of phenylacetylene to aldehydes and ketones. This reactivity is determined by a new, unprecedented mechanism, which involves activation of the zinc reagent via coordination with carbonyl substrates that behave "ligand like". Broad scope, high tolerance to functional groups, and a simple procedure make this new method highly interesting for the synthetic chemist.     

Enzymatic resolution of five membered heterocyclic bromohydrins

The lipase catalyzed resolution of trans-3,4-tetrahydrofuran and pyrrolidine bromohydrins by acylation or hydrolysis of their acylated derivatives has been studied. For both heterocycles, the best enantioselectivity was obtained using Candida antarctica lipase B as the catalyst in the hydrolytic processes. The enantiomerically pure bromohydrins are useful intermediates for the preparation of 3,4-fuctionalized cis-heterocycles.

Et_2Zn-promoted β-trans-selective hydroboration of ynamide

The trans-hydroboration of alkyne represents a challenging task in organic synthesis.Reported herein is an Et2 Zn promoted β-trans hydroboration of ynamides by using N-heterocyclic carbene(NHC)-ligated borane as boryl source.The reaction leads to a stereoselective construction of enamides bearing a valuable boryl substituent.Both aromatic and aliphatic ynamides were applicable to the reaction.Synthetic transformation of the C-B bond in the product via Suzuki-Miyaura coupling provides a simple and stereospecific route to multi-substituted enamides.Mechanistic studies were conducted and the possible mechanism was discussed

The hydrohydrazination of 4-pentynoic acid with different arylhydrazines proceeds smoothly in the presence of zinc chloride. The domino amination-amidation sequence leads to aryl-substituted 4,5-dihydro-3(2H)-pyridazinones.     

Formation of a methide derivative upon photolysis of thymidine bromohydrins

Reaction of bromine with thymidine in aqueous solution produces, in high yield, the corresponding 5-bromo-6-hydroxy-5,6-dihydroderivative (thymidine bromohydrins). UVC photolysis of thymidine bromohydrins gives rise to a reactive intermediate that is converted into 5-(hydroxymethyl)-2'-deoxyuridine upon incubation in water. When the former compound is left in methanol, ethanol, or propanol, the corresponding 5-alkoxymethyl derivatives are produced. The proposed structure for the primary photolysis product of thymidine bromohydrins is a methide derivative of the thymine ring. This compound could be an interesting intermediate in the synthesis of methyl-substituted thymidine.

PtCl2-catalyzed rearrangement of methylenecyclopropanes

Alkylidenecyclopropanes readily convert into cyclobutene derivatives on treatment with catalytic amounts of PtCl2. The reaction is strongly accelerated when performed under an atmosphere of CO (1 atm). The resulting cyclobutenes are isolated in good to excellent yields for substrates bearing aliphatic as well as aromatic substituents R on their olefinic site. If the substituent R, however, is a very electron-rich arene, the cyclobutenes initially formed react further to give dimeric products with a previously unknown 1,2,2a,7a-tetrahydrospiro[cyclobuta[a]indene-7,1'-cyclobutane skeleton. A mechanism accounting for these experimental observations as well as for a deuterium-labeling experiment is proposed which implies reactive intermediates at the nonclassical cation/carbene interface. Furthermore it is shown that the PtCl2-catalyzed cyclobutene formation can be geared with subsequent ring-opening/ring-closing metathesis (ROM/RCM) events. Finally, a convenient "one pot" method for the preparation of the alkylidenecyclopropane substrates used in this study is presented, which is based on a modified Julia-Kocienski olefination of aldehydes with readily available 1-tert-butyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl-cyclopropyl sulfone under Barbier conditions.     

Thermal rearrangement of 2-bromooxazolines to 2-bromoisocyanates

In addition, chiral aziridinecarboxamides or 2-aminooxazolines could be selectively obtained from the corresponding 2-bromo isocyanate depending on reaction conditions.
