Abstract: | The reaction of (Z)-HDC=CHCH(OCH(3))C(6)H(5) (1) with Cp(2)Zr(D)Cl followed by BF(3).OEt(2) gave phenylcyclopropanes 3a and 3b, both having cis deuterium. This stereochemical outcome requires inversion of configuration at the carbon bound to zirconium and is consistent with a "W-shaped" transition state structure for cyclopropane formation. In a Kulinkovich hydroxycyclopropanation, trans-3-deutero-1-methyl-cis-2-phenyl-1-cyclopropanol (5) was formed stereospecifically from Ti(O-i-Pr)(4), ethyl acetate, EtMgBr, and trans-beta-deuterostyrene. This stereochemistry requires retention of configuration at the carbon bound to titanium and is consistent with frontside attack of the carbon-titanium bond on a carbonyl group coordinated to titanium. In a de Meijere cyclopropylamine synthesis, a 3:1 mixture of N,N-dimethyl-N-(trans-3-deutero-trans-2-phenylcyclopropyl)amine (6a) and N,N-dimethyl-N-(cis-3-deutero-cis-2-phenylcyclopropyl)amine (6b) was formed from Ti(O-i-Pr)(4), DMF, Grignard reagents, and trans-beta-deuterostyrene. This stereochemistry requires inversion of configuration at the carbon bound to titanium and is consistent with a W-shaped transition structure for ring closure. |
