Thioglycoluril as a novel organocatalyst: Rapid and efficient α-monobromination of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds

Thioglycoluril as a novel hydrogen-bonding organocatalyst, combined with NBS, in MeOH provided rapid and efficient α-monobromination of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds in excellent yields at room temperature. A bifunctional catalytic mechanism was proposed from

3-(Trifluoromethyl)indenyl Cation: Ion Pair Return in the Formation of an Antiaromatic and Electron-Deficient Doubly Destabilized Carbocation

The solvolysis of 3-(trifluoromethyl)-3-indenyl tosylate (15) occurs with extensive isomerization to 1-(trifluoromethyl)-3-indenyl tosylate (16), which reacts in a slower process to give the substitution product 17. Kinetic analysis of a model involving an intermediate allyl cation/tosylate ion pair 18 gave a partitioning ratio in CD3CO2D at 99.6°C for 18 of 7.7 for return with allylic rearrangement compared with solvent capture. Studies of 15 with specific 18O labeling show no scrambling in recovered 15 and partial scrambling in rearrangement to 16. The m value measuring the dependence of the reactivity of 15 on the solvent-ionizing parameter YOTs is 0.78, which is significantly less than that of 1.23 for the analogous 9-(trifluoromethyl)-9-fluorenyl tosylate 7. Normal salt effects in CF3CO2H predominate for 15, and the special salt effect involves no more than 14% capture of solvent-separated ion pairs by 0.551 M KO2CCF3. The substrate 15 has a net diminution in reactivity of more than 109 relative to the secondary indanyl tosylate 22, with factors of 106 and 103 attributable to antiaromaticity and to the electron-withdrawing CF3 group, respectively. The solvolysis of 15 is proposed to occur by formation of an ion pair with significant nucleophilic solvation at the relatively unhindered allylic carbon, but internal return occurs in preference to solvent or salt capture. Solvolysis of the rearranged tosylate 16 occurs with a strong rate retardation by the γ-CF3 group, a large extent of internal return, and with a normal salt effect.

α-BROMINATION OF KETONES WITH THE BROMINE COMPLEX OF POLY(STYRENE-CO-4-VINYLPYRIDINE)
