- Oxidative cyclizations in a nonpolar solvent using molecular oxygen and studies on the stereochemistry of oxypalladation
-
Oxidative cyclizations of a variety of heteroatom nucleophiles onto unactivated olefins are catalyzed by palladium(II) and pyridine in the presence of molecular oxygen as the sole stoichiometric oxidant in a nonpolar solvent (toluene). Reactivity studies of a number of N-ligated palladium complexes show that chelating ligands slow the reaction. Nearly identical conditions are applicable to five different types of nucleophiles: phenols, primary alcohols, carboxylic acids, a vinylogous acid, and amides. Electronrich phenols are excellent substrates, and multiple olefin substitution patterns are tolerated. Primary alcohols undergo oxidative cyclization without significant oxidation to the aldehyde, a fact that illustrates the range of reactivity available from various Pd(II) salts under differing conditions. Alcohols can form both fused and spirocyclic ring systems, depending on the position of the olefin relative to the tethered alcohol; the same is true of the acid derivatives. The racemic conditions served as a platform for the development of an enantioselective reaction. Experiments with stereospecifically deuterated primary alcohol substrates rule out a "Wacker-type" mechanism involving anti oxypalladation and suggest that the reaction proceeds by syn oxypalladation for both mono- and bidentate ligands. In contrast, cyclizations of deuterium-labeled carboxylic acid substrates undergo anti oxypalladation.

- Investigation of the Montmorillonite clay-catalyzed [1,3] shift reaction of 3-methyl-2-butenyl phenyl ether
-
The [1,3] shift reaction of 3-methyl-2-butenyl phenyl ether was catalyzed more effectively by Montmorillonite K10 clay than Montmorillonite KSF clay, and proceeded with greatest ortho-selectivity in carbon tetrachloride at room temperature.

- The Behaviour of 2H-1-Benzopyrans Toward Trialkylaluminium Reagents
-
2H-1-Benzopyrans react with trialkylaluminium compounds by alkyl- and hydrogen-transfer to C-2 and C-4 to give the o-allylphenols (2), (3), and the (E)-o-propenylphenols (4) and (5).The site of attack and the ratio of alkyl- to hydrogen-transfer depend on the alkylaluminium used and on the size of the substituent at C-2 of the pyran.A mechanism involving reaction of the alkylaluminium with the quinone methanide (6), which is in equilibrium with the pyran (1), is in accord with all experimental results.
