Abstract: | Alkylation of dienediolates from unsaturated carboxylic acids with allylic halides when followed by solventless thermal treatment at 150 to 200°C afford rearranged products on a trend highly dependent on the α carbon substitution. Thus, 2,2-bisallylated acids with H atoms at C-2 lead to its 1,3-shift, whereas 2-methyl-2,2-bisallylated acids lead to the corresponding Cope rearrangement product. In the latter case, this tandem allylation-Cope reaction lead, in a highly regio and diastereoselective way, to products not accessible from direct alkylation. B3LYP/6-31G∗ energies for the compounds involved at these isomerizations are in reasonable agreement with the experiments, allowing to explain the formation of the more stable product under thermodynamic equilibrations. |
