Highly Diastereoselective Synthesis of Substituted Epichlorohydrins and Regioselective Preparation of Allyl Alcohols using Chloro or Idomethyllithium
Concellon, Jose M.,Llavona, Lujan,Bernad, Pablo L. Jr.
, p. 5573 - 5584 (1995)
Substituted epichlorohydrins 3 or 6 are obtained α-bromo or α-chlorocarbonyl compounds (1 or 4) and chloro or iodomethyllithium, respectively.Starting from α-bromocarbonyl compounds 1 or acyclic α-chloro ketones the reaction takes place with total diastereoselectivity.Treatment of epichlorohydrins 3 or 6 with lithium iodide affords the same substituted allyl alcohols 7 in a regioselective manner.A mechanism to explain this transformation is proposed.Regioisomeric allyl alcohols 11 are prepared by reaction of epichlorohydrins 6 with lithium powder.

SYNTHESIS OF 2-SUBSTITUTED 1,3-BUTADIENYL COMPOUNDS BY PALLADIUM-CATALYZED REGIOSELECTIVE 1,2-ELIMINATION REACTION OF METHYLVINYLCARBINOL ACETATES

Alkylation of the dianion of 3-methyl-3-buten-2-ol, followed by acetylation and palladium-catalyzed 1,2-elimination reaction of the so obtained methylvinylcarbinol acetates allows to synthesize regioselectively 2-substituted 1,3-butadienyl compounds having high isomeric purity.

This manuscript investigates how incorporation of benzophenone, a well-known triplet sensitizer, within a bis-urea macrocycle, which self-assembles into a columnar host, influences its photophysical properties and affects the reactivity of bound guest molecules. We further report the generation of a remarkably stable organic radical. As expected, UV irradiation of the host suspended in oxygenated solvents efficiently generates singlet oxygen similar to the parent benzophenone. In addition, this host can bind guests such as 2-methyl-2-butene and cumene to form stable solid host-guest complexes. Subsequent UV irradiation of these complexes facilitated the selective oxidation of 2-methyl-2-butene into the allylic alcohol, 3-methyl-2-buten-1-ol, at 90% selectivity as well as the selective reaction of cumene to the tertiary alcohol, α,α′-dimethyl benzyl alcohol, at 63% selectivity. However, these products usually arise through radical pathways and are not observed in the presence of benzophenone in solution. In contrast, typical reactions with benzophenone result in the formation of the reactive singlet oxygen that reacts with alkenes to form endoperoxides, diooxetanes, or hydroperoxides, which are not observed in our system. Our results suggest that the confinement, the formation of a stable radical species, and the singlet oxygen photoproduction are responsible for the selective oxidation processes. A greater understanding of the mechanism of this selective oxidation could lead to development of greener oxidants.

The application of three BVMOs for the enantioselective oxidation of 3-phenylbutan-2-ones with different substituents in the aromatic moiety is described. By choosing the appropriate biocatalyst and substrate combination, chiral ketones and esters can be obtained with excellent enantiopurities. This methodology could also be applied to the resolution of racemic α-alkyl benzylketones with longer alkyl chains as well as with two substituted α-substituted benzylacetones. A kinetic analysis revealed that the BVMOs studied effectively convert all tested compounds showing that the enzymes are tolerant towards the substrate structure while being highly enantioselective. These properties render BVMOs as valuable biocatalysts for the preparation of compounds with high interest in organic synthesis.
