α-Chloro-, bromo- and iodoenamines, which are readily prepared from the corresponding isobutyramides have been found to be excellent reagents for the transformation of a wide variety of alcohols or carboxylic acids into the corresponding halides. Yields are high and conditions are very mild thus allowing for the presence of sensitive functional groups. The reagents can be easily tuned allowing therefore the selective monohalogenation of polyhydroxylated molecules. The scope and chemoselectivity of the reactions have been studied and reaction mechanisms have been proposed.

A simple formamide catalyst facilitates the efficient transformation of alcohols into alkyl chlorides with benzoyl chloride as the sole reagent. These nucleophilic substitutions proceed through iminium-activated alcohols as intermediates. The novel method, which can be even performed under solvent-free conditions, is distinguished by an excellent functional group tolerance, scalability (>100 g) and waste-balance (E-factor down to 2). Chiral substrates are converted with excellent levels of stereochemical inversion (99 %→≥95 % ee). In a practical one-pot procedure, the primary formed chlorides can be further transformed into amines, azides, ethers, sulfides, and nitriles. The value of the method was demonstrated in straightforward syntheses of the drugs rac-Clopidogrel and S-Fendiline.

, p. 104 - 112 (2015/04/22)
The gas-phase eliminations of benzyl chloroformate (475-523 K, 31-103 Torr) and neopentyl chloroformate (563-622 K, 37-70 Torr), in a deactivated static reaction vessel, and in the presence of a free radical suppressor, are homogeneous, unimolecular, and follow a first-order rate law. The rate coefficients are expressed by the following Arrhenius equations: Benzyl chloroformate log κI = (13.30 ± 0.38) - (152.9 ± 3.6) kJ mol-1(2.303RT)-1; r = 0.9989 Neopentyl chloroformate Formation of neopentyl chloride: log κI = (14.29 ± 0.48) - (196.3 ± 5.5) kJ mol-1(2.303RT)-1; r = 0.9986 Formation of 2-methylbutenes: log κII = (12.12 ± 0.73) - (178.2 ± 8.3) kJ mol-1(2.303RT)-1; r = 0.9960 The derived kinetic and thermodynamic parameters for benzyl chloroformate decomposition indicate the reaction proceeds through a concerted four-membered cyclic transition state to give benzyl chloride and CO2 gas. Neopentyl chloroformate undergoes a parallel reaction, where neopentyl chloride formation may arise from a polar-concerted four-membered cyclic transition state, whereas the mixture of olefins, 2-methyl-2-butene, and 2-methyl-1-butene appears to be produced from a carbene intermediate. This intermediate seems to be originated from a concerted five-membered cyclic transition state of the neopentyl substrate.

Manganese porphyrins catalyze selective C-H bond halogenations

We report a manganese porphyrin mediated aliphatic C-H bond chlorination using sodium hypochlorite as the chlorine source. In the presence of catalytic amounts of phase transfer catalyst and manganese porphyrin Mn(TPP)Cl 1, reaction of sodium hypochlorite with different unactivated alkanes afforded alkyl chlorides as the major products with only trace amounts of oxygenation products. Substrates with strong C-H bonds, such as neopentane (BDE =～100 kcal/mol) can be also chlorinated with moderate yield. Chlorination of a diagnostic substrate, norcarane, afforded rearranged products indicating a long-lived carbon radical intermediate. Moreover, regioselective chlorination was achieved by using a hindered catalyst, Mn(TMP)Cl, 2. Chlorination of trans-decalin with 2 provided 95% selectivity for methylene-chlorinated products as well as a preference for the C2 position. This novel chlorination system was also applied to complex substrates. With 5α-cholestane as the substrate, we observed chlorination only at the C2 and C3 positions in a net 55% yield, corresponding to the least sterically hindered methylene positions in the A-ring. Similarly, chlorination of sclareolide afforded the equatorial C2 chloride in a 42% isolated yield. Regarding the mechanism, reaction of sodium hypochlorite with the MnIII porphyrin is expected to afford a reactive MnVO complex that abstracts a hydrogen atom from the substrate, resulting in a free alkyl radical and a MnIV-OH complex. We suggest that this carbon radical then reacts with a MnIV-OCl species, providing the alkyl chloride and regenerating the reactive MnVO complex. The regioselectivity and the preference for CH2 groups can be attributed to nonbonded interactions between the alkyl groups on the substrates and the aryl groups of the manganese porphyrin. The results are indicative of a bent [MnvO-H-C] geometry due to the C-H approach to the MnvO (dπ-pπ)* frontier orbital.

The recombination of chloromethyl and t-butyl radicals at room temperature was used to generate neopentyl chloride molecules with 89 kcal mol-1 of internal energy. The observed unimolecular reactions, which give 2-methyl-2-butene and 2-methyl-1-butene plus HCl, as products, are explained by a mechanism that involves the interchange of a methyl group and the chlorine atom to yield 2-chloro-2-methylbutane, which subsequently eliminates hydrogen chloride by the usual four-centered mechanism to give the observed products. The interchange isomerization process is the rate-limiting step. Similar experiments were done with CD2Cl and C(CH3)3 radicals to measure the kinetic-isotope effect to help corroborate the proposed mechanism. Density functional theory was employed at the B3PW91/6-31G(d',p') level to verify the Cl/CH3 interchange mechanism and to characterize the interchange transition state. These calculations, which provide vibrational frequencies and moments of inertia of the molecule and transition state, were used to evaluate the statistical unimolecular rate constants. Matching the calculated and experimental rate constants, gave 62 ± 2 kcal mol -1 as the threshold energy for interchange of the Cl atom and a methyl group. The calculated models also were used to reinterpret the thermal unimolecular reactions of neopentyl chloride and neopentyl bromide. The previously assumed Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement mechanism for these reactions can be replaced by a mechanism that involves the interchange of the halogen atom and a methyl group followed by HCl or HBr elimination from 2-chloro- 2-methylbutane and 2-bromo-2-methylbutane. Electronic structure calculations also were done to find threshold energies for several related molecules, including 2-chloro-3,3-dimethylbutane, 1-chloro-2-methyl-2-phenylpropane, and 1-chloro-2-methyl-2-vinylpropane, to demonstrate the generality of the interchange reaction involving a methyl, or other hydrocarbon groups, and a chlorine atom. The interchange of a halogen atom and a methyl group located on adjacent carbon atoms can be viewed as an extension of the halogen atom interchange mechanisms that is common in 1,2-dihaloalkanes.

(formula presented) Efficient conversion of alcohols and β-amino alcohols to the corresponding chlorides (and bromides) can be carried out at room temperature in methylene chloride, using 2,4,6-trichloro[1,3,5]triazine and N,N-dimethyl formamide. This procedure can also be applied to optically active carbinols.
Reinvestigation of the SNi Reaction. The Ionization of Chlorosulfites

, p. 2822 - 2829 (2007/10/02)
The decomposition of alkyl chlorosulfites (ROSOCl) has been investigated both computationally and experimentally.Semiempirical (AM1 and PM3) as well as ab initio (HF/3-21G(*), HF/6-31G*, and MP2(full)/6-31G*//MP2(full)/6-31G*) methods were employed, and the results were confirmed experimentally by NMR spectroscopy.The computations indicated that certain alkyl sulfinyl cations (ROSO(1+)) are stable and might be involved in the decomposition of chlorosulfites.Detection of these ions by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy in polar solvents such as acetone-d6 and acetonitrile-d3 as well as kinetic studies allowed important conclusions to be drawn about the mechanistic details of the SNi reaction.We conclude that primary alkyl chlorosulfites ionize to yield a sulfinyl cation (ROSO(1+)) and Cl(1-), whereas tertiary chlorosulfites preferentially give a carbenium ion and a chlorosulfinyl anion (OSOCl(1-)) The generation of these ion pairs is facilitated in polar solvents where the rates of decomposition of chlorosulfites are largely accelerated.The decomposition of neopentyl chlorosulfite without rearrangement and the substitution at the bridgehead position of 7,7-dimethylbicycloheptyl 1-chlorosulfite show that the loss of SO2 from ROSO(1+) must be accompanied by the attack of the chloride ion from the front side.

The investigation of the reactions of trichloroacetonitrile with 2-decanol, 2-methyl-3-octanol, 2,4-dimethyl-3-pentanol, and 2,2-dimethyl-1-propanol in presence of triphenylphosphine shows that the formation of alkyl chlorides from the corresponding alcohols goes regiospecifically: Even for 2,4-dimethyl-3-pentanol the amount of the isomeric chloride does not exceed 1percent, while neopentyl alcohol is converted into neopentyl chloride in 95percent yield.On the introduction of "external" nucleophiles (iodide and thiocyanate ions) into the reaction mixture the predominating reaction product is the alkyl chloride.As a result of the reaction of bromotrichloromethane with 1-nonanol and triphenylphosphine a mixture of the alkyl chloride and the alkyl bromide is formed.
