Efficient palladium–ferrocenylphosphine catalytic systems for allylic amination of monoterpene derivatives
2006
Ferrocenylphosphines added to [Pd(µ-Cl)(η3-C3H5)]2 dimeric precursor produce efficient catalysts to effect the allylic amination of terpenic allylacetates. Particularly convenient are tetrakis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene and 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene, which allow the amination of allylacetates with good to excellent selectivity, and have turnover numbers as high as 80 000, for instance, for the formation of allylaniline. Herein, we report on reactions that selectively transform geranylacetate, nerylacetate, linalylacetate and perillylacetate into the corresponding allylic amines. These preparative methods give facile access to various products of great potential industrial intere…
Mechanism of oxidative allyl transfer from allylic ammonium cations to palladium(0) α-diimine complexes
1996
Abstract The palladium(0) complex [Pd(η2-fn)(NN′)] (1, fn = fumaronitrile; NN′ = C5H4N-2-CH=NC6H4OME-4) reacts slowly and reversibly with A + CH 2 CH=CH 2 (2a, A = NEt 3 ; 2 b , A = C 5 H 5 N ) to yield the cationic η3-allypalladium(II) derivative [ Pd (η[ 3 - C 3 H 5 )( N N ′)] + (3) the free amine A and fn. The equilibrium constant Ke is (2.6 ± 0.1) × 10−3 for 2a and 1.0 ± 0.4 for 2b. Kinetic studies of these oxidative allyl-transfer reactions show that the rates increase with increasing concentration of 2 and with decreasing concentration of fn. A stepwise mechanism is proposed which involves slow and reversible displacement of fn by 2 to give a labile intermediate [ Pd (η 2 - CH…
Modular P-Chirogenic Phosphine-Sulfide Ligands: Clear Evidence for Both Electronic Effect and P-Chirality Driving Enantioselectivity in Palladium-Cat…
2015
Using the ephedrine methodology, modular stereoselective syntheses of a new class of P-chirogenic phosphines bearing a sulfur-chelating arm (P*,S-hybrid ligand) are described. A first series of syntheses based on a Fries-like rearrangement of P-chirogenic phosphinite-boranes, which are prepared from 2-bromobenzyl or 2-bromophenethyl alcohol and are mediated by metal–halide exchange, have been performed. This rearrangement affords phosphine-boranes stereospecifically with an o-hydroxyalkylphenyl substituent. The latter residue is subsequently converted into a sulfur-containing group. In a second series, the stereoselective syntheses were achieved according to a new strategy involving a react…
Design of P-Chirogenic Aminophosphine-Phosphinite Ligands at Both Phosphorus Centers: Origin of Enantioselectivities in Pd-Catalyzed Allylic Reaction…
2020
International audience; We have recently patented an unprecedented stereospecific N→O phosphinyl migration process which transforms P-chirogenic aminophosphines into phosphinites. A fine design of aminophosphine phosphinite ligands (AMPP*) derived from ephedrine and bearing a P-chirogenic center either at the aminophosphine or phosphinite moiety, was performed. The synthesis of AMPP* ligands with P-chirogenic aminophosphine moiety was based on the well-established stereospecific reaction of oxazaphospholidine-borane with organolithium reagents, followed by trapping with a chlorophosphine and borane decomplexation. Concurrently, the preparation of AMPP* ligands with P-chirogenic phosphinite …
γ-Silylboronates in the chiral Brønsted acid-catalysed allylboration of aldehydes.
2014
The use of functionalised allylboronic esters in the catalytic enantioselective allylboration of aldehydes is described for the first time. γ-Silylallyl pinacolate derivatives give rise to α-silyl homoallylic alcohols in high yields, with complete diastereoselectivities and high enantioselectivities, in most of the cases. The usefulness of such intermediates is showcased by their transformation into fluorinated allylic alcohols.
A joint experimental and ab initio study on the reactivity of several hydroxy selenides. Stereoselective synthesis of cis-disubstituted tetrahydrofur…
2001
Abstract The reactivity of several hydroxy selenides bearing an ethereal chain with catalytic amounts of perchloric acid in dichloromethane was investigated. Results showed that the position of the oxygen atom with respect to the seleniranium ring was crucial in order to get a good yield of the cyclized product. The factors on which yields of the 5- endo cyclization of the seleniranium ions depend were analysed by ab initio (HF/3-21G ∗ ) studies. An explanation of the different coordinating ability, towards the positively charged selenium atom, of the allylic OMe and homoallylic OH-2 groups was given.
P-Chirogenic Phosphines Supported by Calix[4]arene: New Insight into Palladium-Catalyzed Asymmetric Allylic Substitution
2013
The first P-chirogenic mono- and diphosphine ligands supported on the upper rim of a calix[4]arene moiety were synthesized using the ephedrine methodology. The lithiated calix[4]arene mono- and dianions both react with the oxazaphospholidine–borane, prepared from ephedrine, to afford regio- and stereoselectively the corresponding calix[4]arenyl aminophosphine–boranes, by cleavage of the heterocyclic ring at the P–O bond position. Subsequent reactions with HCl and then organolithium reagent and finally decomplexation with DABCO lead to the corresponding calix[4]arenyl mono- or diphosphines. Both enantiomers of the calix[4]arenyl phosphines were obtained either by using (+)- or (−)-ephedrine …
Pentacyanopropenide group as ligand in organometallic chemistry. Crystal structure and electrochemical studies of (Et4N)[W(CO)5{(C(CN)2C(CN)C(CN)2}]
1999
Abstract The title complex has been obtained by reaction of the tetraethylammonium pentacyanopropenide with tungsten hexacarbonyl in acetone. Its crystal structure involves discrete [W(CO)5{C3(CN)5}]− anions in which the organic fragment is N-coordinated via one of the nitrogen atoms of a cyano group borne by one of the terminal carbon atoms of the allylic skeleton. The anion presents a distorted octahedral coordination with a W–N bond length [2.168(5) A] considerably longer than the W–C bond lengths [cis-W–C in the range 1.998(7)–2.068(4) A; trans-W–C 1.962(7) A]. Cyclic voltammograms of this complex, recorded in CH2Cl2 and CH3CN (Bu4NPF6 0.1 M), display a quasi-reversible reduction and ir…
A Simple Procedure for Oxidation of Alcohols using [Bis(acetoxy)iodo]benzene and a Catalytic Amount of Bromide Ions in Ethyl Acetate
2015
Primary and secondary benzylic alcohols and secondary aliphatic alcohols were oxidized to the corresponding aldehydes and ketones by using [bis(acetoxy)iodo]benzene (BAIB) and a catalytic amount of bromide ions, from tetrabutylammonium bromide or KBr, in ethyl acetate. The catalytic role of the bromide ions was also highlighted in the oxidation of primary aliphatic alcohols and secondary allylic alcohols carried out in the presence of 1 mol% TEMPO.
ChemInform Abstract: Enediolates and Dienediolates of Carboxylic Acids in Synthesis. Synthesis of β,γ-Epoxyacids from α-Chloroketones.
2010
Abstract Lithium dienolates of saturated or α,β-unsaturated acids react with α-chloroketones provide a convenient method for preparation of highly sustituted β,γ-epoxyacids. These highly reactive compounds lead in most cases to variable ammounts of the corresponding β-lactones and allylic alcohols.
