Synthesis of Epoxides from Alkyl Bromides and Alcohols with in Situ Generation of Dimethyl Sulfonium Ylide in DMSO Oxidations

Direct conversion of the readily available alkyl bromides and alcohols to value-added epoxides using dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) under mild reaction conditions has been developed. Benzyl and allyl bromides, and activated and unactivated alcohols all proceeded smoothly to give epoxides in high to excellent yield. Dimethyl sulfide, generated by DMSO oxidations, was in situ elaborated to form the substituted dimethyl sulfonium ylide species that participates in the Corey-Chaykovsky epoxidation in a domino and one-pot fashion, respectively.

One-pot synthesis of epoxides from benzyl alcohols and aldehydes

A one-pot synthesis of epoxides from commercially available benzyl alcohols and aldehydes is described. The reaction proceeds through in situ generation of sulfonium salts from benzyl alcohols and their subsequent deprotonation for use in Corey–Chaykovsky epoxidation of aldehydes. The generality of the method is exemplified by the synthesis of 34 epoxides that were made from an array of electronically and sterically varied alcohols and aldehydes.

Redesign of a Pyrylium Photoredox Catalyst and Its Application to the Generation of Carbonyl Ylides

We report the exploration into photoredox generation of carbonyl ylides from benzylic epoxides using newly designed 4-mesityl-2,6-diphenylpyrylium tetrafluoroborate (MDPT) and 4-mesityl-2,6-di-p-tolylpyrylium tetrafluoroborate (MD(p-tolyl)PT) catalysts. These catalysts are excited at visible wavelengths, are highly robust, and exhibit some of the highest oxidation potentials reported. Their utility was demonstrated in the mild and efficient generation of carbonyl ylides from benzylic epoxides that otherwise could not be carried out by current common photoredox catalysts.

Allenes in asymmetric catalysis: Asymmetric ring opening of meso-epoxides catalyzed by allene-containing phosphine oxides

(Chemical Equation Presented) Unsymmetrically substituted allenes (1,2-dienes) are inherently chiral and can be prepared in optically pure form. Nonetheless, to date the allene framework has not been incorporated into ligands for asymmetric catalysis. Since allenes project functionality differently than either tetrahedral carbon or chiral biaryls, they may create complementary chiral environments. This study demonstrates that optically active, C 2-symmetric allene-containing bisphosphine oxides can catalyze the addition of SiCl4 to meso-epoxides with high enantioselectivity. The epoxide opening likely involves generation of a Lewis acidic, cationic (bisphosphine oxide)SiCl3 complex. The fact that high asymmetric induction is observed suggests that allenes may represent a new platform for the development of ligands and catalysts for asymmetric synthesis.

Enantioselective ring-opening reaction of meso-epoxides with ArSH catalyzed by a C2-symmetric chiral bipyridyldiol-titanium complex

This study describes a C2-symmetric ligand comprising a central bipyridine-pinene-derived core and two functionalized diphenylmethanol subunits. [8′-(Hydroxy-diphenyl-methyl)-10,10,10′,10′-tetramethy l-[5,5′]bi[6-aza-tricyclo[7.1.1.02,7/s

Scandium-bipyridine-catalyzed enantioselective aminolysis of meso-epoxides

The scandium-bipyridine-catalyzed enantioselective addition of anilines and O-alkyl hydroxylamines to meso-epoxides has been optimized and extended to a broad range of epoxides and amines. Whereas aromatic meso-epoxides generally furnished the corresponding 1.2-amino alcohols in Excellent enantioselectivities, aliphatic meso-epoxides only gave rise to moderate enantioselectivities in the aminolysis. The catalyst loading may be lowered to just 5 mol% with only marginal effects on yield and enantioselectivity. A strong positive nonlinear effect has been observed, pointing to aggregation phenomena of the catalyst.

P(MeNCH2CH2)3N: A Highly Selective Reagent for Synthesizing trans-Epoxides from Aryl Aldehydes

In contrast to its acyclic analogue P(NMe2)3 (1), which in benzene at room temperature reacts with two aryl aldehyde molecules bearing electron-withdrawing groups to give the corresponding diaryl epoxide as an isomeric mixture (trans/cis ratios: 72/28-51/49), P(MeNCH2CH2)3N (2a) under the same reaction conditions is found to be a highly selective reagent that provides epoxides with trans/ cis ratios as high as 99/1. These reactions are faster with 2a, because its phosphorus atom is apparently more nucleophilic than that in 1. Thus, it is found that 2a more easily forms 1:1 and 1:2 adducts with one or two molecules of aldehyde, respectively. These adducts apparently are intermediates in the formation of the product epoxide and the corresponding phosphine oxides of 1 and 2a.

A novel epoxidation reaction of olefins using a combination of chloramine-M, benzaldehyde, and benzyltriethylammonium chloride

A combination of Chloramine-M (CH3SO2NClNa), benzaldehyde, and benzyltriethylammonium chloride (BTEAC) was found to epoxidize a wide range of olefins. While epoxidation of trans-olefins provided exclusively trans- epoxides, cis-olefins (cis-stilbene, cis-β-methylstyrene, and 4-cis-octene) gave trans-epoxides as major products. Good to excellent diastereoselectivities were obtained for epoxidation of two substituted cyclohexenes. Chloramine-T was found to give a slower reaction than Chloramine-M. cis-N-Sulfonyloxaziridine D is proposed to be the epoxidizing agent in this novel epoxidation reaction on the basis of the mechanistic studies.

Oxidation of Alkenes and Sulphoxides with a Mixture of Potassium Superoxide and Diethyl Chlorophosphate

The reaction of potassium superoxide with diethyl chlorophosphate in the presence of 18-crown-6 ether gave at least two oxidizing agents, one of which was electrophilic and used in the oxidation of alkenes, whilst the other, nucleophilic in type, was important in the oxidation of sulphoxides.

New Olefin and Oxiran Syntheses from Carbonyl Compounds, and Diethyl Sodiophosphonate Anions and 1-Aminophosphonate Amino-anions

Reaction of aromatic aldehydes, and phthalic and thiophthalic anhydrides, with diethyl sodiophosphonate (1) gives the trans-stilbenes (3), 3,3'-biphthalidylidene (30), and 3,3'-bis-(2-thiophthalidylidene) (33).Similar treatment of fluorenone (8) and xanthone (17) with (1) leads to 9,9'-bis(fluororenylidene) (9) and 9,10-dihydro-9-oxophenanthrene-10-spiro-9'-fluorene (10), and to 9,9'-bixanthenylidene (18) and 9,9'-bixanthenyl (19), respectively, but the reaction using anthrone (11) as a carbonyl reagent yields only anthraquinone (12) and anthracene (13).Similar treatment using N-methylisatoic anhydride (34) and N-methylisatin (36) produces NN'-dimethylisoindigo (35).Reaction of benzaldehyde and p-chlorobenzaldehyde with diethyl 1--cyclohexylphosphonate (40) gives mainly corresponding mixtures of trans- (41a,b) and cis-stilbene epoxides (42a,b), while similar treatment of p-nitrobenzaldehyde with (40) produces 4,4'-dinitrostilbene (3e).Reaction of (8) with (40), as well as with (1), gives (9) and (10).The mechanism of formation of these products is discussed.
