Unprecedented Nucleophilic Additions of Highly Polar Organometallic Compounds to Imines and Nitriles Using Water as a Non-Innocent Reaction Medium

In contrast to classic methods carried out under inert atmospheres with dry volatile organic solvents and often low temperatures, the addition of highly polar organometallic compounds to non-activated imines and nitriles proceeds quickly, efficiently, and chemoselectively with a broad range of substrates at room temperature and under air with water as the only reaction medium. Secondary amines and tertiary carbinamines are furnished in yields of up to and over 99 %. The significant solvent D/H isotope effect observed for the on-water nucleophilic additions of organolithium compounds to imines suggests that the on-water catalysis arises from proton transfer across the organic–water interface. The strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds between water molecules may play a key role in disfavoring protonolysis, which occurs extensively in other protic media such as methanol. This work lays the foundation for reshaping many fundamental s-block metal-mediated organic transformations in water.

Regio- and stereoselective double alkylation of β-enamino esters with organolithium reagents followed by one-pot reduction: convenient method for the synthesis of tertiary γ-amino alcohols

An easy, high yielding and stereoselective procedure for the preparation of tertiary γ-amino alcohols starting from β-enamino esters is presented. In this procedure, the double alkylation of β-enamino esters with organolithium reagents is followed by one-

The chemistry of alkylstrontium halide analogues: Barbier-type alkylation of imines with alkyl halides

The chemistry of alkylstrontium halide analogues was examined. In the presence of metallic strontium, the Barbier-type alkylation of imines with alkyl iodides proceeded smoothly at room temperature under an argon atmosphere to afford the corresponding alk

A one-pot aza-Wittig based solution and polymer supported route to amines

This paper presents a high yielding one-pot solution phase and polymer supported synthesis of a range of primary and secondary amines starting from azides and aldehydes. The synthesis utilises a tandem process which begins with an aza-Wittig reaction between the aldehyde and an iminophosphorane, followed by reduction, or organometallic 1,2-addition reaction, of the resultant imine. The requisite iminophosphoranes were accessed using the highly efficient Staudinger reaction between the azide starting material and a phosphine. The process was applicable to the solid phase by the use of polymer supported iminophosphoranes and polymer supported cyanoborohydride.

Triflamides: Elimination of the triflyl anion versus substitution of the trifluoromethide group

Base-induced elimination of CF3SO2- and nucleophilic substitution of CF3- were observed in the reaction of secondary triflamides with alkyllithium reagents.
