Bu4N+ alkoxide-initiated/autocatalytic addition reactions with organotrimethylsilanes

The use of Me3SiO-/Bu4N+ as a general activator of organotrimethylsilanes for addition reactions has been established. The broad scope of the method offers trimethylsilanes (including acetate, allyl, propargyl, benzyl, dithiane, heteroaryl, and aryl derivatives) as bench-stable organometallics that can be readily utilized as carbanion equivalents for synthesis. Reactions are achieved at rt without the requirement of specialized precautions that are commonplace for other organometallics.

Lewis base catalyzed 1,3-dithiane addition to carbonyl compounds using 2-trimethylsilyl-1,3-dithiane

1,3-Dithiane addition to various aldehydes and ketones using 2-trimethylsilyl-1,3-dithiane in the presence of a catalytic amount of a Lewis base such as tetrabutylammonium phenoxide (PhONn-Bu4) proceeds smoothly to afford the corresponding α-hy

An efficient photo-SET-induced cleavage of dithiane-carbonyl adducts and its relevance to the development of photoremovable protecting groups for ketones and aldehydes

Irradiation of dithiane-aldehyde/ketone adducts in the presence of benzophenone leads to C-C bond cleavage regenerating the carbonyl compounds. It is established that the mechanism of this reaction involves photochemically induced single electron transfer from the dithiane moiety to the excited molecule of ET-photosensitizer, accompanied by mesolytic C-C cleavage in the generated cation-radical, which is assisted by the anion- radical of benzophenone. This mechanism is confirmed by a Hammett plot study of the cleavage in the dithiane adducts of substituted aromatic aldehydes and a deuterium kinetic isotope effect study. Ab initio computations at UHF/6- 31G* and MP2/6-31G* levels of theory in conjunction with self-consistent reaction field (self-consistent isodensity-polarized continuum model), to account for the solvent effect, also support the experimental findings. The reaction is most efficient for protection of aromatic aldehydes and ketones and aliphatic ketones, and is a novel method for protecting carbonyl functionalities with a photoremovable group.

ADDITION CONJUGUEE DE DERIVES LITHIES DE DITHIANE-1,3 AUX ALDEHYDES αβ ETHYLENIQUES

In order to synthesize γ carbonyl aldehydes which are interesting precursors in organic synthesis, we examine the action of masked acylanions, the lithiated derivatives from 1,3-dithiane 1a and 2-phenyl-1,3-dithiane on selected unsaturated aldehydes: crotonaldehyde 2, cinnamaldehyde 3, 3-methyl butenal 4 and methacrolein 5.In THF 1a leads with the four aldehydes to allylic alcohols.However 1b gives products resulting from C=C and C=O additions.Using THF-HMPA, we show that C=C addition is generally enhanced.Furthermore, in all cases examined C=C and C=O addition take place under kinetic controll: the regioselectivity observed can be interpreted by repulsive interactions due to the substrate and the reagent structure as well as lithium-carbonyl compound interactions.

1,4-Addition of the lithiated derivatives of the 1,3-dithiane and 2-phenyl-1,3-dithiane on α-unsaturated aldehydes is performed in THF-HMPA ; this reaction could be an interesting way to δ-carbonyl aldehydes.
