Development of a general copper-catalyzed vinylic Finkelstein reaction—application to the synthesis of the C1–C9 fragment of laingolide B

An efficient and broadly applicable procedure for the copper-catalyzed vinylic Finkelstein reaction is reported. Using a simple, readily available and cheap catalytic system, a broad range of alkenyl iodides and bromides can be smoothly converted to their lower homologues with high yields and full retention of the double bond geometry. Key features of this vinylic Finkelstein reaction are its broad applicability, enabling the conversion of readily available alkenyl iodides to their less available brominated and chlorinated counterparts, and the mild reaction conditions compatible with a range of highly functionalized substrates. The potential of this vinylic halogen exchange reaction in total synthesis and medicinal chemistry was demonstrated by its successful use for the synthesis of the C1–C9 fragment of laingolide B and for the late-stage modification of drug-like molecules. The extension of this halogen exchange to the acetylenic and allenic Finkelstein reactions is also reported.

Continuous Flow Chlorination of Alkenyl Iodides Promoted by Copper Tubing

A simple continuous flow synthesis of alkenyl chlorides from the corresponding readily available alkenyl iodides in copper reactor tubing is described. A variety of alkenyl chlorides were obtained in good to excellent yields with full retention of the dou

Kinetically controlled E-selective catalytic olefin metathesis

A major shortcoming in olefin metathesis, a chemical process that is central to research in several branches of chemistry, is the lack of efficient methods that kinetically favor E isomers in the product distribution. Here we show that kinetically E-selective cross-metathesis reactions may be designed to generate thermodynamically disfavored alkenyl chlorides and fluorides in high yield and with exceptional stereoselectivity.With 1.0 to 5.0 mole % of a molybdenum-based catalyst, which may be delivered in the form of air- and moisture-stable paraffin pellets, reactions typically proceed to completion within 4 hours at ambient temperature. Many isomerically pure E-alkenyl chlorides, applicable to catalytic cross-coupling transformations and found in biologically active entities, thus become easily and directly accessible. Similarly, E-alkenyl fluorides can be synthesized from simpler compounds or more complex molecules.

The present application provides, among other things, compounds and methods for metathesis reactions. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides methods for preparing alkenyl halide with regioselectivity and/or stereoselectivity. In some embodim

A General Copper-Catalyzed Vinylic Halogen Exchange Reaction

An efficient and general system for the halogen exchange reaction in alkenyl halides has been developed. Upon reaction with catalytic amounts of copper iodide and trans-N,N′-dimethylcyclohexane-1,2-diamine in the presence of tetramethylammonium chloride or bromide, a wide range of easily accessible alkenyl iodides can be smoothly transformed to their far less available chlorinated and brominated derivatives in excellent yields and with full retention of the double bond geometry. This reaction also enables the chlorination of bromoalkenes and could be extended to the use of gem-dibromoalkenes.

Highly cis-selective Wittig reactions employing α-heterosubstituted ylids

1-Alkenyl chlorides, bromides or iodides can be obtained with very high cis selectivities through Wittig reaction employing α-chloro, α-bromo α-iodo ylids derive from tris(2-methoxymethoxyphenyl)phospine. The corresponding α-methoxy substituted ylid produces enethers with again remarkably high cis/trans ratios. Palladium(II) catalyzed coupling of (Z)-1-iodo-1-heptene with ethyl acrylate affords ethyl (2E,4Z)-2-4-decadienoate, the Bartlett pear fragrance, with almost quantitative yield.

Laser flash photolysis study of substituent effects on the rate of 1,2-H migration in a series of benzylchlorocarbenes

Laser flash photolysis of para-substituted 3-chloro-3-benzyldiazirines in isooctane produces the corresponding carbenes, which react with pyridine to form ylides or undergo 1,2-H migration to form the (Z)- and (E)-β-chlorostyrenes. The rate for the 1,2-H migration is determined by plotting the pseudo-first-order rate constants for the growth of the ylide vs [pyridine] and extrapolating to zero pyridine concentration. In the case of (p-chlorobenzyl)chlorocarbene, the carbene decay can be monitored directly at 310 nm, whereas in [p-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl]chlorocarbene, the 285-nm trace may be analyzed as the sum of the absorption of the carbene and of the product β-chlorostyrenes. A Hammett plot of the logarithms of the rate constants for 1,2-H migration vs σp values gave a ρ value of -1.0, consistent with a hydride-like 1,2-H shift to the carbene center. The rate constants for the cyclopropanation of carbenes with tetramethylethylene (TME) were determined. In particular, the cyclopropanation of (p-chlorobenzyl)chlorocarbene with TME gave a negative activation energy of -4.7 kcal mol-1.
