Radical-chain deoxygenation of tertiary alcohols, protected as their methoxymethyl (MOM) ethers, using thiols as polarity-reversal catalysts

, p. 499 - 500 (2000)
The deoxygenation of tertiary alcohols can be accomplished by heating their MOM ethers in the presence of a peroxide initiator and a thiol catalyst: the proposed radical-chain mechanism is supported by EPR spectroscopic studies.

Jet fuel range high-density polycycloalkanes were first synthesized with polycarbonate waste by a two-step method which was conducted under mild conditions. In the first step, polycarbonate waste was converted to bisphenol by methanolysis. Subsequently, bisphenol was further converted to polycycloalkanes by hydrodeoxygenation.

Hydrogen gas can be generated from simple alkanes (e.g., n-pentane, n-hexane, etc.) and diethyl ether (Et2O) by mechanochemical energy using a planetary ball mill (SUS304, Fritsch Pulverisette 7), and the use of stainless steel balls and vessel is an important factor to generate the hydrogen. The reduction of organic compounds was also accomplished using the in-situ-generated hydrogen. While the use of pentane as the hydrogen source facilitated the reduction of the olefin moieties, the arene reduction could proceed using Et2O. Within the components (Fe, Cr, Ni, etc.) of the stainless steel, Cr was the metal factor for the hydrogen generation from the alkanes and Et2O, and Ni metal played the role of the hydrogenation catalyst.

The cyclohexa-1,3-diene motif is introduced as an equally effective alternative to the cyclohexa-1,4-diene platform in B(C6F5)3-catalysed transfer processes. The transfer hydrogenation of alkenes is realised with α-terpinene and the related transfer hydrosilylation is achieved with 5-trimethylsilyl-substituted cyclohexa-1,3-diene. Both yields and substrate scope are comparable with the prior systems.

Cyclohexa-1,4-dienes are introduced to Br?nsted acid-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation as an alternative to the widely used Hantzsch dihydropyridines. While these hydrocarbon-based dihydrogen surrogates do offer little advantage over established protocols in imine reduction as well as reductive amination, their use enables the previously unprecedented transfer hydrogenation of structurally and electronically unbiased 1,1-di- and trisubstituted alkenes. The mild procedure requires 5.0 mol % of Tf2NH, but the less acidic sulfonic acids TfOH and TsOH work equally well.

A transition-metal-free transfer hydrogenation of 1,1-disubstituted alkenes with cyclohexa-1,4-dienes as the formal source of dihydrogen is reported. The process is initiated by B(C6F5)3-mediated hydride abstraction from the dihydrogen surrogate, forming a Bronsted acidic Wheland complex and [HB(C6F5)3]-. A sequence of proton and hydride transfers onto the alkene substrate then yields the alkane. Although several carbenium ion intermediates are involved, competing reaction channels, such as dihydrogen release and cationic dimerization of reactants, are largely suppressed by the use of a cyclohexa-1,4-diene with methyl groups at the C1 and C5 as well as at the C3 position, the site of hydride abstraction. The alkene concentration is another crucial factor. The various reaction pathways were computationally analyzed, leading to a mechanistic picture that is in full agreement with the experimental observations.
Deoxygenation of tertiary and secondary alcohols ROH by thiol-catalysed radical-chain redox decomposition of derivatives ROCH2X to give RH and XCHO
Dang, Hai-Shan,Roberts, Brian P.
, p. 1161 - 1170 (2007/10/03)
Compounds of the type ROCH2X, in which the substituent X is an electron-donating alkoxy, aryl or amido group, undergo thiol-catalysed radical-chain decomposition to give RH and XCHO. This reaction has been applied for the deoxygenation of representative tertiary and secondary alcohols ROH under metal-free conditions that require no stoichiometric co-reactant. Of the derivatives investigated, methoxymethyl (MOM) ethers and 1-alkoxymethyl-pyrrolidin-2-ones (PYRM ethers) proved to be the most generally successful and typical conditions for the redox decomposition to give RH involve heating under reflux in octane solvent in the presence of a peroxide initiator and tri-tert-butoxysilanethiol [(ButO)3SiSH] as a protic polarity-reversal catalyst. Conversions to RH were negligible in the absence of thiol. Several different types of tertiary alcohol, including steroidal and carbohydrate examples, were deoxygenated as their MOM and PYRM ethers to give very good isolated yields of RH. Although the MOM and PYRM ethers derived from many types of secondary alcohol also afforded good yields of RH, the MOM ether of diacetone D-glucose gave the 3-deoxy sugar in poor yield and the yield from the corresponding PYRM ether was still only moderate.
