Abstract:Bicyclic iminium ethers can be synthesized by the reactions of ketones with hydroxyalkyl azides. These cationic species react with a variety of nucleophiles via two possible pathways. The initially formed, kinetic product arises from direct addition to the iminium carbon in the substrate. In some cases, the initial adduct reverts to the starting iminium ether and the ultimate product arises from nucleophilic displacement at the O-alkyl group to afford the terminally functionalized N-substituted amide. The behavior of a range of nucleophiles was studied by using several iminium ethers. In general, the relevant pathway could be identified by characterization of the product formed. For hydroxide addition, which can afford only one product regardless of mechanism, the reaction was shown to arise by the kinetic pathway, using (18)O-labeled hydroxide. A one-pot synthesis of functionalized lactams entailing treatment of ketones first with hydroxyalkyl azides followed by nucleophilic addition was also developed.
