Synthesis of unsymmetrical alkyl acetals via addition of primary alcohols to allyl ethers mediated by ruthenium complexes

چکیده
ABSTRACT Ru-catalyzed synthesis of mixed alkyl-alkyl acetals via addition of primary alcohols to allyl ethers has been extended to include long-chain and/or functionalized substrates. The catalytic systems for these reactions were generated from RuCl2(PPh3)3 and [RuCl2(1,5-COD)]x and phosphines [PPh3 or P(p-chlorophenyl)3] or SbPh3. Of particular importance is the almost quantitative elimination of transacetalization. The addition proceeds through allyl complexes, not via isomerization of allyl ethers--subsequent addition of ROH to vinyl ethers. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

Ruthenium-catalyzed regio- and enantioselective allylic substitution with water: direct synthesis of chiral allylic alcohols.
Enantioselective allylic substitution catalyzed by transitionmetal complexes is an important process in organic synthesis. For many years, mainly palladium complexes that contain chiral ligands have been employed as efficient catalysts in these reactions. Recent studies have demonstrated that chiral catalysts based on other transition metals show different regioselectivity in the synthesis of b...
متن کاملA mild and efficient procedure for the synthesis of ethers from various alkyl halides
A simple, mild and practical procedure has been developed for the synthesis of symmetrical and unsymmetrical ethers by using DMSO, TBAI in the presence of K2CO3. We extended the utility of Potassium carbonate as an efficient base for the preparation of ethers. A wide range of alkyl aryl and dialkyl ethers are synthesized from treatment of aliphatic alcohols and phenols with various alkyl hali...
متن کاملSynthesis of Unsymmetrical Ethers Catalysed by Polyvinyl Sulfuric Acid & PVSA / Nano RH SiO2 as a Novel Solid Acid Nanocomposite
The methodology involves preparing polyvinyl sulfuric acid as a solid acid by simple mixing ofpolyvinyl alcohol with chlorosulfonic acid in CH2Cl2 at room temperature. The catalytic ability ofthe solid acid was investigated for the facile conversion of benzylic alcohols to the unsymmetricalethers with aliphatic alcohols in the presence of the solid acid. Results show that the solid acid isan ap...
متن کاملAdsorption Behavior of the Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Alkyl, Allyl and Aryl Alcohols Over Nanoscale (1 0 0) Surface of γ-Alumina
In this study, the adsorption behavior of the primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols over nanoscale (1 0 0) surface of defect spinel γ-alumina was investigated with the aid of density functional theory (DFT) at BLYP/DNP level of calculation. The influence of different substituents including alkyl, cycloalkyl, allyl and aryl were analyzed for free and adsorbed alcohols to shed light the adsorp...

Heteroaryl substituted allyl and homoallyl alcohols were synthesised with two different method. Synthesis of bis-allyl ethers and homoallyl ethers were carried out via reaction of allyl bromide with allyl alcohols and homoallyl alcohols, respectively. [2.3]-Wittig Rearrangement reactions of heteroaryl substituted bis-allyl ethers were investigated using GC/MS techniques. In these reactions two ...
