Kinetically controlled E-selective catalytic olefin metathesis

A major shortcoming in olefin metathesis, a chemical process that is central to research in several branches of chemistry, is the lack of efficient methods that kinetically favor E isomers in the product distribution. Here we show that kinetically E-selective cross-metathesis reactions may be designed to generate thermodynamically disfavored alkenyl chlorides and fluorides in high yield and with exceptional stereoselectivity.With 1.0 to 5.0 mole % of a molybdenum-based catalyst, which may be delivered in the form of air- and moisture-stable paraffin pellets, reactions typically proceed to completion within 4 hours at ambient temperature. Many isomerically pure E-alkenyl chlorides, applicable to catalytic cross-coupling transformations and found in biologically active entities, thus become easily and directly accessible. Similarly, E-alkenyl fluorides can be synthesized from simpler compounds or more complex molecules.

Direct synthesis of Z-alkenyl halides through catalytic cross-metathesis

Olefin metathesis has had a large impact on modern organic chemistry, but important shortcomings remain: for example, the lack of efficient processes that can be used to generate acyclic alkenyl halides. Halo-substituted ruthenium carbene complexes decompose rapidly or deliver low activity and/or minimal stereoselectivity, and our understanding of the corresponding high-oxidation-state systems is limited. Here we show that previously unknown halo-substituted molybdenum alkylidene species are exceptionally reactive and are able to participate in high-yielding olefin metathesis reactions that afford acyclic 1,2-disubstituted Z-alkenyl halides. Transformations are promoted by small amounts of a catalyst that is generated in situ and used with unpurified, commercially available and easy-to-handle liquid 1,2-dihaloethene reagents, and proceed to high conversion at ambient temperature within four hours. We obtain many alkenyl chlorides, bromides and fluorides in up to 91 per cent yield and complete Z selectivity. This method can be used to synthesize biologically active compounds readily and to perform site- and stereoselective fluorination of complex organic molecules.

METATHESIS CATALYSTS AND METHODS THEREOF

The present application provides, among other things, compounds and methods for metathesis reactions. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides methods for preparing alkenyl halide with regioselectivity and/or stereoselectivity. In some embodim

Samarium-mediated β-elimination in dihalo alcohols: Diastereoselective synthesis of (Z)-vinyl halides

High diastereoselectivity in β-elimination reactions of O-acetyl 1,1- dihaloalkan-2-ols to give (Z)-vinyl halides was achieved by using samarium diiodide [Eq. (1)]. The reaction was also highly diastereoselective and totally chemoselective when a mixture

Reactions of Alkylmercurials with Heteroatom-Centered Acceptor Radicals

The relative reactivities of alkylmercury halides toward PhS., PhSe., or I. decrease drastically from R = tert-butyl to R = sec-alkyl to R = n-butyl, indicative that R. is formed in the rate-determining step in the attack of these radicals upon RHgCl.The alkyl radicals thus formed will enter into chain reactions in which a heteroatom-centered radical (A.) is regenerated from substrates such as RS-SR, ArSe-SeAr, ArTe-TeAr, PhSe-SO2Ar, Cl-SO2Ph; ZCH=CHA (A = Cl, I, SPh, SO2Ph); or PhCCHA (A = I, SPh, SO2Ph). β-Styrenyl (PhCH=CHA, Ph2C=CHA) and β-phenethynyl (PhCCA) systems with A = I, Br, SO2Ph also enter into chain reactions with mercury(II) salts with the ligands PhS, PhSe, PhSO2, or (EtO)2PO.The relative reactivities of a series of reagents toward t-Bu. and of PhCH=CHA, Ph2C=CHA, and PhCCA toward c-C6H11. are reported as well as the regioselectivity of t-Bu. attack observed for 1,2-disubstituted ethylenes (ZCH=CHA) with Z and A from the group Ph, Cl, Br, I, SO2Ph, SPh, Bu3Sn.Reactions of (E)- and (Z)-PhCH=CHI or MeO2CCH=CHI with t-Bu. or c-C6H11. occurred in a regioselective and stereospecific (retention) manner.Reactions of (E)- and (Z)-ClCH=CHCl occurred in a nonstereospecific manner in which the E/Z product ratio increased with the bulk of the attacking radical.A similar effect on the E/Z product ratios was observed for (Z)-MeO2CCH=CHCl.
