Iminium Salts by Meerwein Alkylation of Ehrlich’s Aldehyde
نویسندگان
چکیده
4-(Dimethylamino)benzaldehyde is alkylated at the N atom by dialkyl sulfates, MeI, or Me3O BF4. In contrast, ethylation by Et3O BF4 occurs selectively at the O atom yielding a quinoid iminium ion. 4-(Diethylamino)benzaldehyde is alkylated only at O by either Et or Me oxonium reagent. The iminium salts are prone to hydrolysis giving the corresponding hydrotetrafluoroborates. Five crystal structures were determined.

Organocatalytic vinyl and Friedel-Crafts alkylations with trifluoroborate salts.
Over the last 8 years, our laboratory has developed the concept of iminium catalysis, a mode of LUMO-lowering activation that has enabled the invention of a large number of enantioselective organocatalytic transformations including Diels-Alder cycloadditions, Friedel-Crafts alkylations, Mukaiyama-Michael additions, hydrogenations, and heteroconjugate additions.1 Central to the utility of this t...
متن کاملAsymmetric intramolecular α-cyclopropanation of aldehydes using a donor/acceptor carbene mimetic
Enantioselective α-alkylation of carbonyl is considered as one of the most important processes for asymmetric synthesis. Common alkylation agents, that is, alkyl halides, are notorious substrates for both Lewis acids and organocatalysts. Recently, olefins emerged as a benign alkylating species via photo/radical mechanisms. However, examples of enantioselective alkylation of aldehydes/ketones ar...
متن کاملSilver-catalyzed Meerwein arylation: intermolecular and intramolecular fluoroarylation of styrenes.
The first example of silver-catalyzed intermolecular and intramolecular Meerwein fluoroarylation of styrenes with aryl diazonium salts has been developed. This reaction is operationally simple, scalable and proceeds under mild conditions. Furthermore, fluorinated dihydrobenzofurans and indolines were easily accessed using this method.
متن کاملEnaminosulfones from 3-Trifloxypropene Iminium Salts: A 1,5(O5C) Trifluoromethylsulfonyl Shift*
Triflic anhydride (Tf2O) is the reagent of choice for the introduction of the trifluoromethylsulfonyl (CF3SO2) group into a variety of organic substrates, and the resulting compounds often have a unique chemical reactivity [1]. A case in point is given by 3-trifloxypropene iminium triflates which are obtained by O-sulfonylation of enaminones with Tf2O [2, 3] and which are suited for transformat...
متن کاملThe versatile roles of ammonium salt catalysts in enantioselective reduction and alkylation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes: iminium catalysis, enamine catalysis and acid catalysis.
A novel strategy for highly efficient utilization of chiral ammonium salt catalysts has been described in this paper. Three kinds of catalytic functions including iminium catalysis, enamine catalysis, and acid catalysis of chiral ammonium salt catalysts, have been achieved in the enantioselective reduction and alkylation reaction of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with alcohols.
