The intramolecular carbolithiation of a series of propargylic ethers has been performed to evaluate the influence of the terminal substituent on the efficiency and the stereochemical outcome of the cyclization. Our results show that only 5-exo-dig cyclizations are observed, and dihydrobenzofurans are obtained exclusively. Depending on the nature of the terminal substituent, two cases can be considered. If the terminal substituent carried by the acetylenic carbon atom is itself a carbon atom, the cyclization can occur provided the terminal propargylic position bears a coordinating element and is at least disubstituted. When the cyclization occurs, it follows an anti-carbolithiation pathway and thus leads to the E isomer of the exocyclic double bond. Only in one case (Ph) was a mixture of the E and Z isomers of the resulting olefin recovered. The cyclization can also take place if the alkyne is directly substituted by S or Si, provided the cyclization conditions are tuned. In the case of the trimethylsilyl substituent, a syn-carbolithiation was observed. If the double bond is recovered, in most cases, in the exocyclic position, the products can aromatize directly for SPh-substituted substrate 24. Furthermore, in the two latter cases, when alkylation of the vinyllithium intermediate is performed, isomerization of the double bond seems instantaneous. Copyright
End-quenching of TiCl4-catalyzed quasiliving polyisobutylene with alkoxybenzenes for direct chain end functionalization

Alkoxybenzenes were used to end-quench TiCl4-catalyzed quasiliving isobutylene polymerizations initiated from 2-chloro-2,2,4- trimethylpentane or 5-tert-butyl-1,3-di(1-chloro-1-methylethyl)benzene at -70 °C in 40/60 (v/v) hexane/methyl chloride. The alkoxybenzene/chain end molar ratios were in the range 2.5-4. Effective alkoxybenzene quenchers included those with simple alkyl groups, such as anisole and isopropoxybenzene, haloalkyl tethers, such as (3-bromopropoxy)benzene and (2-chloroethoxy)benzene, and even those with hydroxyl and amine functionality, such as 4-phenoxy-1-butanol and 6-phenoxyhexylamine. Alkylation was generally quantitative and occurred exclusively in the para position; multiple alkylations on the same alkoxybenzene were not observed. The alkylation reactions were tolerant of temperatures ranging from -70 to -30 °C and were unimpeded by the presence of endo- or exo-olefin termini. In situ cleavage of the ether linkage of anisole and isopropoxybenzene termini allowed single pot syntheses of phenol-terminated polyisobutylenes.
