Nonclassical Mechanism in the Cyclodehydration of Diols Catalyzed by a Bifunctional Iridium Complex
González Miera, Greco,Bermejo López, Aitor,Martínez-Castro, Elisa,Norrby, Per-Ola,Martín-Matute, Belén

1,4- and 1,5-diols undergo cyclodehydration upon treatment with cationic N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)–IrIII complexes to give tetrahydrofurans and tetrahydropyrans, respectively. The mechanism was investigated, and a metal-hydride-driven pathway was proposed for all substrates, except for very electron-rich ones. This contrasts with the well-established classical pathways that involve nucleophilic substitution.
Stereoselective synthesis of side chain-functionalized tetrahydropyrans from 5-hexenols

Molecular oxygen stereoselectively converts 5-hexenols into 2,6-trans-, 2,5-trans-, and 2,4-cis-derivatives of 2-methyltetrahydropyran via oxidative cyclization/radical functionalization cascades, when activated by fluoro-substituted cobalt(II) bis-(β-diketonate) complexes in solutions of cyclohexa-1,4-diene (CHD). Aerobic 5-hexenol oxidations in solutions of bromotrichloromethane and CHD furnish products of 6-exo-bromocyclization, as exemplified by synthesis of diastereomerically pure 2,4,6-substituted tetrahydropyrans. The cobalt method extends to intermolecular alkene/alkanol cross-coupling and to multi-component reactions between dimethyl fumarate, CHD, a 5-hexenol, and dioxygen, providing α-tetrahydropyranyl-2-methyl succinates in synthetically useful yields.

Lanthanide triflate complexes of the type [Ln(OTf)3] (Ln = La, Sm, Nd, Yb, Lu) serve as effective, recyclable catalysts for the rapid intramolecular hydroalkoxylation (HO)/cyclization of primary/secondary and aliphatic/aromatic hydroxyalkenes in imidazolium-based room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) to yield the corresponding furan, pyran, spirobicyclic furan, spirobicyclic furan/pyran, benzofuran, and isochroman derivatives. Products are straightforwardly isolated from the catalytic solution, conversions exhibit Markovnikov regioselectivity, and turnover frequencies are as high as 47 h -1 at 120°C. The ring-size rate dependence of the primary alkenol cyclizations is 5>6, consistent with a sterically controlled transition state. The hydroalkoxylation/cyclization rates of terminal alkenols are slightly more rapid than those of internal alkenols, which suggests modest steric demands in the cyclic transition state. Cyclization rates of aryl-functionalized hydroxyalkenes are more rapid than those of the linear alkenols, whereas five- and five/six-membered spirobicyclic skeletons are also regioselectively closed. In cyclization of primary, sterically encumbered alkenols, turnoverfrequency dependence on metal-ionic radius decreases by approximately 80fold on going from La3+ (1.160 A) to Lu3+ (0.977 A), presumably reflecting steric impediments along the reaction coordinate. The overall rate law for alkenol hydroalkoxylation/cyclization is v≈[catalys] 1[alkenol]1. An observed ROH/ROD kinetic isotope effect of 2.48 (9) is suggestive of a catalytic pathway that involves kinetically significant intramolecular proton transfer. The present activation parameters-enthalpy (ΔH≠) = 18.2 (9) Kcal mol-1, entropy (ΔS≠) = -17.0 (1.4) eu, and energy (E,) = 18.2 (8) kcal mol-1-suggest a highly organized transition state. Proton scavenging and coordinative probing results suggest that the lanthanide inflates are not simply precursors of free triflic acid. Based on the kinetic and mechanistic evidence, the proposed catalytic pathway invokes hydroxyl and olefin activation by the electron-deficient Ln3+ center, and intramolecular H+ transfer, followed by alkoxide nucleophilic attack with ring closure.
4-(Arylsulfonyl)glycals in synthesis. Cation-mediated synthesis of 2,6- disubstituted dihydropyrans
Bailey, Jennifer M.,Craig, Donald,Gallagher, Peter T.
, p. 132 - 134 (2007/10/03)
4-(Arylsulfonyl)glycal 9, easily prepared from phenylsulfinic acid, acrolein and 2-phenyloxirane, undergoes efficient, stereoselective S(N)1' reactions on exposure to Lewis acidic reagent systems. Treatment of syn-9 with dimethyldioxirane gives a single glycal epoxide, which also is a substrate for intermolecular C-glycosidation reactions.
Photoreactions of Phenyl-Substituted N-(Pent-4-enyl-1-oxy)pyridine-1(1H)-thiones
Hartung, Jens,Hiller, Margit,Schmidt, Philipp
, p. 1014 - 1023 (2007/10/03)
A series of hitherto unknown N-(pent-4-enyl-1-oxy)pyridine-2(1H)-thiones (6) were prepared from substituted pent-4-enyl tosylates or benzylic chlorides.On irradiation with incandescent light heterocycles 6 liberated alkoxy radicals 2, which were studied for rearrangement reactions.Surprisingly, all transformations involving the 1-phenylpent-4-enyl-1-oxy radical (2a), for example, to give the substituted thioether 8, 2-bromomethyl-5-phenyltetrahydrofuran (11), or the tetrahydrofuran 14a, were not stereoselective.On the other hand 2-, 3-mono-, and 1,5-disubstituted pent-4-enyl-1-oxy radicals 2d-e and 2g cyclized in good yields and with good to excellent stereoselectivities to give the corresponding 2,4-cis- and 2,3-trans-phenyltetrahydrofurfuryl radicals 3d-e, and the trans-2-benzyl-5-methyl substituted intermediate 3g.The major reaction mode of the 4-phenylpent-4-enyl-1-oxy radical (2f) was the 6-endo cyclization, which afforded 3-phenyltetrahydropyran (13f) as the major product (endo:exo=93:7) after trapping with hydrogen donors.According to the experimental data of the present study, the unusual reactivity of the 1-phenylpent-4-enyl-1-oxy radical (2a) in 5-exo-trig ring closures could be caused by a coplanar arrangement of the benzyloxy moiety in the transition state of the cyclization.This interaction would lock the radical center in 2a in a preferred conformation, which would result in similar steric effects for both cis- and trans-cyclizations. - Keywords: alkoxy radicals; cyclizations; pyridinethiones; radicals; tetrahydrofurans
