Solvolysis of (E)- and (Z)-2-methyl-5-phenyl-1-pentenyl(phenyl)iodonium tetrafiuoroborate (1·BF4) was carried out in various alcohols, acetic acid, and aqueous solutions at 60 °C. Products (after acid hydrolysis) include iodobenzene and 2-methyl-5-phenylpentanal as well as rearranged ones: 6- phenyl-2-hexanone, 6-phenyl-3-hexanone, 6-phenyl-2-hexyne, 6-phenyl- 1,2- hexadiene, and 6-phenyl-2,3-hexadiene. The products of α-elimination, including 1-methyl-3-phenyl-1-cyclopentene, were also obtained in methanol and ethanol. Solvolysis of the E isomer (E)-1 is faster than that of (Z)-1 in every solvent examined. The percentage of rearrangement is higher with (E)-1 than with (Z)-1, and the main rearranged products are those of migration of the alkyl group trans to the iodonio group, but migration of the cis alkyl group is also involved. Theoretical calculations suggest that interconversion between the secondary Vinylic cations by 1,2-hydride shift is rapid. These results show that a major heterolysis reaction occurs with β-alkyl participation to directly give a secondary vinylic cation, but stereochemistry of the unrearranged substitution products suggests that formation of the primary vinylic cation is also involved in less nucleophilic solvents like acetic acid and 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol.
Solvolysis of β,β-dialkylvinyliodonium salt: Primary vinyl cation intermediate and alkyl participation
Okuyama, Tadashi,Sato, Koichi,Ochiai, Masahito
, p. 1177 - 1178 (2007/10/03)
Solvolysis of both E and Z isomers of a β,β-dialkylvinyl-(phenyl)iodonium salt gave extensively rearranged products. A mechanism involving a primary vinyl cation intermediate as well as the alkyl participation leading to secondary vinyl cations is proposed.
