A comparative study of the Au-catalyzed cyclization of hydroxy-substituted allylic alcohols and ethers
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Au(I)-catalyzed cyclization of hydroxyallylic ethers to form tetrahydropyrans is reported. Employing (acetonitrile)[(o-biphenyl)di-tert-butylphosphine]gold(I) hexafluoroantimonate, the cyclization reactions were complete within minutes to hours, depending on the substrate. The reaction progress was monitored by GC, and comparisons between substrates demonstrate that reactions of allylic alcohols are faster than the corresponding ethers. Additionally, it is reported that Reaxa QuadraPure(TM) MPA is an efficient scavenging reagent that halts the reaction progress.

Synthesis of isoindolinones via a ruthenium-catalyzed cyclization of N-substituted benzamides with allylic alcohols.
N-Substituted aromatic and heteroaromatic amides reacted with substituted allylic alcohols in the presence of a ruthenium catalyst, AgSbF6 and a Cu(OAc)2·H2O oxidant, affording 3-substituted isoindolinone derivatives with diverse substituents in good to excellent yields. A possible reaction mechanism involving a five-membered ruthenacycle intermediate was proposed and strongly supported by expe...
متن کاملTransition metal-catalyzed allylic substitution reactions with unactivated allylic substrates.
The transition metal-catalyzed allylic substitution of unactivated allylic substrates (allylic alcohols, allylic ethers and allylic amines) is rapidly becoming an important area of research. There are several advantages to using these substrates in allylic substitution reactions: the use of unactivated alcohols minimizes the production of waste by-products and reaction steps; and allylic ethers...
متن کاملRuthenium-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 کاملAn Investigation of the Reactions of Substituted Homoallylic Alcohols with Various Oxidation Reagents
Substituted homoallylic alcohols have been synthesised both by [2,3]-Wittig rearrangement of unsymmetrical bis-allylic ethers and reaction of alkenyl chloromethyl oxiranes with Mg/THF. These substrates were then oxidized using four different oxidants. When the substituted homoallylic alcohols were oxidized with pyridinium chlorochromate or zinc chlorochromate nonahydrate the corresponding carbo...

Gold(I)-catalysed direct allylic etherifications have been successfully carried out with chirality transfer to yield enantioenriched, γ-substituted secondary allylic ethers. Our investigations include a full substrate-scope screen to ascertain substituent effects on the regioselectivity, stereoselectivity and efficiency of chirality transfer, as well as control experiments to elucidate the mech...
