Intra- and Intermolecular Alkylation of <i>N</i>,<i>O</i>âAcetals and ÏâActivated Alcohols Catalyzed by in Situ Generated Acid
Intramolecular and intermolecular
alkylations of carbocation precursors
of limited ionization ability, principally <i>N</i>,<i>O</i>-acetals, without the use of an exogenous reagent have
been developed. The reactions are carried out in 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane
(TCE) and take advantage of the ability of this solvent to continuously
release small amounts of HCl by thermolytic elimination. A study of
the reaction led to several improved protocols such as (1) preheated
TCE, (2) microwave-assisted reactions, and (3) flow or sealed-tube
conditions, which allow significant reaction rate enhancements and
made possible some challenging reactions such as the α-amidoalkylation
of ketones. Studies using flow chemistry confirmed not only that very
low concentrations of HCl generated from the solvent were responsible
for the reactivity but also that TCE had additional beneficial properties
in comparison to other chlorinated solvents such as dichloroethane.
The method can easily be extended to the alkylation using proelectrophiles
such as Ï-activated alcohols, which are normally unreactive
toward HCl catalysis. This work represents the first successful use
of HCl, the simplest strong BrĂžnsted acid, as an efficient alkylation
catalyst
Synthesis of nitrogen-substituted methylenecyclopropanes by strain-driven overman rearrangement of cyclopropenylmethyl trichloroacetimidates
Nitrogen-substituted methylenecyclopropanes have been prepared by a strain-driven Overman rearrangement of cyclopropenylmethyl trichloroacetimidates. The reaction proceeds at room temperature and without the need of a transition-metal catalyst. Furthermore, it has been shown that C-3-substituted cyclopropenylmethyl trichloroacetimidates undergo a hydrolytic ring-opening reaction to form allenylcarbinols
