Preparation of alkylated compounds using the trialkylphosphate

[Problem] trialkylphosphate strong base used reaction agent, a carboxylic acid, a ketone, an aldehyde, amine, amide, thiol, ester or Grignard reagent to a variety of substrates, and/or high efficiency to generate a highly stereoselective alkylation reaction, the alkylated compounds capable of producing new means. [Solution] was used as the alkylating agent in the alkylation of compound trialkylphosphate, strongly basic reaction production use. [Drawing] no

Regio- And Stereoselective (S N2) N -, O -, C - And S -Alkylation Using Trialkyl Phosphates

Bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (S N 2) is one of the most well-known fundamental reactions in organic chemistry to generate new molecules from two molecules. In principle, a nucleophile attacks from the back side of an alkylating agent having a suitable leaving group, most commonly a halide. However, alkyl halides are expensive, very harmful, toxic and not so stable, which makes them problematic for laboratory use. In contrast, trialkyl phosphates are inexpensive, readily accessible and stable at room temperature, under air, and are easy to handle, but rarely used as alkylating agents in organic synthesis. Here, we describe a mild, straightforward and powerful method for nucleophilic alkylation of various N -, O -, C - and S -nucleophiles using readily available trialkyl phosphates. The reaction proceeds smoothly in excellent yield, and quantitative yield in many cases, and covers a wide range of substrates. Further, the rare stereoselective transfer of secondary alkyl groups has been achieved with inversion of configuration of chiral centers (up to 98% ee).

Br?nsted Acid Mediated Nucleophilic Functionalization of Amides through Stable Amide C?N Bond Cleavage; One-Step Synthesis of 2-Substituted Benzothiazoles

We have developed a Br?nsted acid mediated synthetic method to directly cleave stable amide C?N bonds by a variety of alcohol and amine nucleophiles. Reverse reactivity was observed and alcoholysis of amides by activated primary and secondary benzylic, and propargylic alcohols have been achieved instead of the expected nucleophilic substitution of alcohols. As an application, 2-substituted benzothiazole derivatives have been synthesized in one pot employing 2-aminothiophenol as nucleophile.

Sulfonated nanohydroxyapatite functionalized with 2-aminoethyl dihydrogen phosphate (HAP@AEPH2-SO3H) as a reusable solid acid for direct esterification of carboxylic acids with alcohols

Sulfonated nanohydroxyapatite functionalized with 2-aminoethyl dihydrogen phosphate (HAP@AEPH2-SO3H) efficiently catalyzed direct esterification of carboxylic acids and alcohols with high selectivity toward the formation of esters in good to excellent yields. Our results clearly show that HAP@AEPH2-SO3H can be easily recovered by simple filtration and reused for subsequent five runs without any significant impact on yields of products. The main advantage of this methodology is easy and ecofriendly catalyst preparation, easy catalyst separation, practical simplicity, safe reaction conditions, recyclable catalyst and high products yields.

Easy access to benzylic esters directly from alkyl benzenes under metal-free conditions

An efficient metal free protocol has been developed for the synthesis of benzylic esters via a cross dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) involving alkylbenzene(s) as a self- or as a cross-coupling partner(s) via the intermediacy of Ar-COOH and the benzylic carbocation obtained from the other half of the alkylbenzene; both symmetrical as well as unsymmetrical esters can be prepared using Bu4NI and TBHP.

A metal-free oxidative esterification of the benzyl C-H bond

An efficient metal-free oxidative esterification of benzyl C-H bonds was developed. Using tetrabutylammonium iodide as catalyst and tert-butyl hydroperoxide as co-oxidant, benzylic substrates could react smoothly with various carboxylic acids to give the esters with good to excellent yields. The method was also suitable for the O-protection of N-Boc amino acids. The reaction mechanism was primarily investigated and a radical process was proposed. Copyright

Second generation fluorous DEAD reagents have expanded scope in the Mitsunobu reaction and retain convenient separation features

First generation fluorous DEAD reagent bis(perfluorohexylethyl)azo dicarboxylate (C6F13(CH2)2O 2-CN=NCO2(CH2)2C6F13, F-DEAD-1) has been shown to underperform relative to diisopropylazodicarboxylate in difficult Mitsunobu reactions involving hindered alcohols or less acidic pronucleophiles (phenols). Two new second generation fluorous reagents bearing propylene spacers instead of the ethylene spacers show expanded reaction scope while retaining the easy fluorous separation features. Byproducts from "half fluorous" reagent perfluorooctylpropyl tert-butyl azo dicarboxylate (C8F17(CH2)3O 2CN=NCO2tBu, F-DEAD-2) can be removed by fluorous flash chromatography, and byproducts from bis(perfluorohexylpropyl)azo dicarboxylate (C6F13(CH2)3O 2CN=NCO2(CH2)3C6F 13, F-DEAD-3) can be removed by fluorous solid-phase extraction. The new reagents promise to provide general and complementary solutions for separation problems in Mitsunobu reactions without restricting reaction scope.

The Reaction between Acyl Halides and Alcohols: Alkyl Halide vs. Ester Formation

In the reaction between an acyl halide and an alcohol the thermodynamically favoured products are the free carboxylic acid and the alkyl halide.The initial reaction is, generally, the formation of an ester and HHal.When the alcohol is very prone to yield an alkyl cation upon protonation by HHal, formed H2O exhibited a superior reactivity and competed successfully with the alcohol for the acyl halide making, therefore, ester formation practically confined to a triggering role.But, in those cases where the cation is less easily formed, ester formation was favoured and, consequently, became the necessary elementary step towards alkyl halide formation.Tis final product, on the other hand, might be extremely slow to form in an SN2 reaction between the protonated ester function and the halide ion.In these instances, therefore, as well as in the cases when a basic solvent competes for the proton of HHal, the ester is the final product.A notable exception of the situation above outlined, is given by α-hydroxy-α-phenylbenzeneacetic acid (2y), which appears to undergo direct chlorine-hydroxyl interchange through a quaternary intermediate (E), in the end collapsing to α-chloro-α-phenyl-benzeneacetic acid (4y).Different systems were compared using CH2Cl2 as a solvent under strictly similar conditions.Some 28 different substrates were tested for reaction with AcCl (1a), whereas the action of eight acyl halides (a) against (RS)-α-methylbenzenemethanol (2n) and α-phenylbenzenemethanol (2p), as well as the effect of five different solvents on the reaction between two alcohols (2p and 2-methyl-2-propanol, 2c) with 1a, were observed.

Vibrational Circular Dichroism of Phenylcarbinols. A Configurational Correlation

The vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectra of enantiomers of phenylcarbaniols were studied in the 1600-800 cm-1 region.In these molecules, the PhC(OH)H group is a common structural feature, and the chirality of this probe group correlates with the sign of a VCD band at about 1200 cm-1.Viewing the probe group with the fourth ligand behind it, a clockwise arrangement of the probe group substituents (with the usual sequence rule priority, OH > Ph > H), designated as a clockwise probe group chirality, results in a negative sign for the VCD band at about 1200 cm-1.For a counterclockwise probe group chirality, the VCD band is positive.On the basis of infrared and Raman spectral observations with deuterated analogues, this band is assigned to a *C-H deformation mode of the phenylcarbinols.
