A Lewis acid-promoted Pinner reaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Carbonitriles and alcohols react in a Lewis acid-promoted Pinner reaction to carboxylic esters. Best results are obtained with two equivalents of trimethylsilyl triflate as Lewis acid. Good yields are achieved with primary alcohols and aliphatic or benzylic carbonitriles, but the straightforward synthesis of acrylates and benzoates starting with acrylonitrile and benzonitrile, respectively, is similarly possible. Phenols are not acylated under these reaction conditions. The method has been used for the first total synthesis of the natural product monaspilosin. In the reaction of benzyl alcohols variable amounts of amides are formed in a Ritter-type side reaction.

Chemoselective silyl transfer in the Mukaiyama aldol reaction promoted by super silyl Lewis acid.
In the silyl Lewis acid-promoted Mukaiyama aldol reaction, the steric and electronic properties of the silyl group on the silyl Lewis acid influence the reaction mechanism and product distribution. When super silyl triflates such as (TMS)3SiOTf and (TES)3SiOTf are used as Lewis acids, the silyl group of the silyl enol ether chemoselectively transfers to the product. The mechanistic details have...

متن کاملImpact of Lewis acid catalyst on the regioselectivity and kinetics of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of azidobenzene with acrolein: a theoretical study using DFT
In the present work, impact of Lewis acid (LA) catalysts BF3, BCl3, and BBr3 on the kinetics andregioselectivity of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (1,3-DC) reaction between azidobenzene and acroleinwas theoretically studied using B3LYP/6-31G* level. Our results indicate while the uncatalyzed 1,3-DC reaction under investigation takes place via a non-polar, non-regioselective, and lowasynchronous proc...
