Reactivite de l'organozincique derive de l'α-bromomethyl acrylate d'ethyle

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0022-328X(88)83059-6

The organozinc derivative (2a) of ethyl α-bromomethyl acrylate is not nucleophilic towards haloalkanes but can be alkylated with chlorotrimethylsilane. 2a is unreactive towards carbon-oxygen single bonds and is unsuitable for conjugate addition (α-enones and α,β-ethylenic esters).Its acylation can be carried out in DME in the presence of palladium(0) catalyst.Reactions with carbon-oxygen and and carbon-nitrogen double bonds permit the preparation of α-methylene γ-butyrolactones and lactams without the formation of side-products.This route is especially suitable for reactions with substrates such as imines that are both nucle ophilic and electrophilic.
