Ligandless iron-catalyzed desulfinylative C-C allylation reactions using Grignard reagents and alk-2-enesulfonyl chlorides

Alk-2-enesulfonyl chlorides 1-4 were synthesized by the BCl3-promoted ene reaction of alkenes with SO2. These sulfonyl chlorides were then used as electrophilic partners in iron-catalyzed desulfinylative cross-coupling reactions with different Grignard reagents (aromatic, aliphatic, and heteroaromatic). The reaction can be catalyzed with even 2 mol-% of the simple iron salt Fe(acac)3. The regioselectivity of these allylations was studied by using sulfonyl chlorides 3 and 4 with aryl Grignard reagents. The scope of these allylations was further extended by the coupling of ester-substituted alk-2-enesulfonyl chloride 10 with aromatic Grignard reagents. Symmetrical products were synthesized by double C-C allylation with the use of 2-methylidenepropane-1,3-disulfonyl chloride (12). Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.

Palladium-catalyzed desulfinylative C-C allylation of Grignard reagents and enolates using allylsulfonyl chlorides and esters

2-Methylprop-2-ene-, prop-2-ene-, 1-methylprop-2-ene-, and (E)-but-2-enesulfonyl chlorides have been used as electrophilic partners in desulfinylative palladium-catalyzed C-C coupling with Grignard reagents and sodium salts of dimethyl malonate and methyl

Hydrogen peroxide-or sodium hypochlorite-induced bromination of 1-arylbut-2-enes

Bromination of 1-arylbut-2-enes in the system [HBr or NaBr (KBr)-HX]-H 2O2 (or NaOCl) under relatively mild conditions leads to electrophilic addition of bromine or hypobromous acid at the side-chain double bond. Under more severe conditions, the process is accompanied by bromination of the aromatic ring. Treatment of the title compounds with peroxy acids (RCOOH-H2O2) gives the corresponding epoxy derivatives which react with HBr and oxygen-containing nucleophiles to produce α-bromo alcohols, diols, and diol acetates.

A new method of the direct allylation reaction for the aromatic compounds with allylic chlorides using a catalytic mount of indium in the presence of CaCO3/4A molecular sieves was developed.

Detailed Characterization of p-Toluenesulfonic Acid Monohydrate as a Convenient, Recoverable, Safe, and Selective Catalyst for Alkylation of the Aromatic Nucleus

Alkylation of the aromatic nucleus, an important reaction in industry and synthetic organic chemistry, has traditionally been carried out by the well-known Friedel-Crafts reaction employing Lewis acid catalysts such as AlCl3 and BF3 or by using highly reactive organometallic reagents. Although protic acids such as anhydrous HF and concentrated H2SO4 have also been used in the alkylation of the aromatic nucleus, the notoriously corrosive, highly toxic, and hazardous nature of these agents has precluded their common use under ordinary laboratory conditions. Various organic sulfonic acids have, on occasion, been used as catalysts in Friedel-Crafts alkylations, but to our knowledge the chemistry and the scope of these reactions for common laboratory use have never been exploited in detail. In the present study we have characterized commercially available p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (TsOH) as an efficient catalyst for the intermolecular coupling of the aromatic nucleus with activated alkyl halides, alkenes, or tosylates under mild conditions in an open atmosphere. In comparison to conventional Friedel-Crafts catalysts such as AlCl3, BF3, HF, and concentrated H2SO4, the extent of the formation of undesired products from side reactions such as transalkylation, polymerization, etc. was minimal with the TsOH-catalyzed reaction. The ability to recover and reuse the catalyst from the reaction mixtures, minimal generation of environmentally unfriendly waste, high specificity of the reaction, and the low cost of the catalyst are important advantages of the TsOH catalyst over the other conventional Friedel-Crafts catalysts.
