A novel β-(oxy)alkyl radical during copper(I)-mediated stereoselective synthesis of (Z)-ene-1,4-diones in a reaction of 2,2,2-trichloro-1-phenylethanone

A novel β-(oxy)alkyl radical derived from trichloro methyl compound containing neither a suitably located C-C multiple bond nor a leaving group or a H-atom at the β-position of the radical in a reaction of 2,2,2-trichloro-1-phenyl-ethanone with 2 mol equiv each of CuCl and bpy in refluxing DCE under a N2 atm underwent intramolecular heterolysis (just like formation of intact radical cation-anion pair) during stereoselective radical dimerization to Z-ene-1,4-dione along with small amount of reductive dechlorination product. The stereochemistry was established by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy of various solid crystalline products.

β-(Carbonatoxy)alkyl radicals: A new subset of β-(ester)alkyl radical fragmentation during copper(I)-mediated synthesis of 1,1-dichloro-1-alkenes

A new subset of β-(ester)alkyl radicals is presented. It is the first study on the chemistry of β-(alkoxycarbonyloxy)alkyl radicals that fill the gap in the spectrum of the migrating groups in β-(ester)alkyl radical reactions. The change from less nucleofugal (acetate) group to the more nucleofugal (carbonate) group in the spectrum of the migrating group changed the reaction path from rearrangement to fragmentation. This approach has been used for the synthesis of 1,1-dichloroalkenes in high yields. The formation of dichloroalkenes was accounted by the involvement of alkene radical cation and carbonate anion pair (a CIP) as a result of heterolysis of the CO bond of the carbonate at the β-position of the β-(alkoxycarbonyloxy)alkyl radical. The alkene radical cation was trapped by nucleophilic reaction with MeOH to form methyl ester.

A practical asymmetric synthesis of homochiral α-arylglycines

Enantioselective reduction of a series of substituted aryl trichloromethyl ketones with the CBS-catecholborane reagent afforded homochiral aryl trichloromethyl carbinols which have been elaborated to give homochiral α-arylglycines in high e.e.
