Abstract: | The steric limits to the alkylation of aliphatic nitriles and carboxylic acids have been investigated in some detail. For the experimental conditions considered (ionization by i-Pr2NLi in THF followed by alkylation with RI/THF/HMPA) the most hindered nitriles R-CN and carboxylic acids R-CO2H have the same secondary alkyi group RtBuPiCH-, but different tertiary. i.e. Rt-BuPriEtC- or i-Pr3C- for RCN and REt2MeC for RCO2H. A comparison of the relative merits of alkylation of esters, carboxylic acids, and nitriles is considered. |
