Photocatalytic Isomerization of Styrenyl Halides: Stereodivergent Synthesis of Functionalized Alkenes

An efficient and general method for the isomerization of styrenyl halides under different photocatalytic conditions (fac-Ir(ppy)3 in methanol for E to Z isomerization and fluorescein in 1,4-dioxane for Z to E isomerization, respectively) is disclosed. A series of stereospecific transformations constitute preliminary validation of this strategy in the synthesis of functionalized alkenes, including two diaryl alkenes, a styrenyl boronic ester and an enyne. The photocatalytic isomerization and subsequent cross coupling reaction can be run in a one-pot manner. The stereodivergent synthesis of all four isomers of a conjugated diene, as well as the antitumor agent DMU-212 and its (Z)-isomer highlights the synthetic applicability of this method.

Stereochemistry in carbenoid formation by bromine/lithium and bromine/zinc exchange reactions of gem-dibromo compounds

Stereochemistry in generation of lithium and zincate carbenoids by bromine/metal exchange reactions of gem-dibromo compounds with BuLi and lithium triorganozincates, respectively, has been investigated. Both lithium and zincate carbenoids derived from 1,1

Reactions of 1,1-Dihaloalkenes with Triorganozincates: A Novel Method for the Preparation of Alkenylzinc Species Associated with Carbon-Carbon Bond Formation

Lithium trialkylzincates react with 1,1-dibromoalkenes 1 and 1-bromo-1-chloroalkenes 2 at -85 deg C in THF to give 1-bromoalkenes 5 and 1-chloroalkenes 7, respectively, upon hydrolysis.The intermediate (1-haloalkenyl)zincates 4 and 6 are stable at low temperature but, when allowed to warm to 0 deg C, they undergo a 1,2-alkyl migration reaction to afford alkenylzinc species 10.A variety of alkylation products 11 are obtained by the hydrolysis of 10.In the presence of (Ph3P)2Pd (5 molpercent), alkenylzinc species 10 react smoothly with organic halides (AcCl, EtOCOCl, CH2=CH(Me)Br, PhBr) to yield the corresponding coupling products 13-16.

Stereochemistry in Carbenoid Formation by Bromine/Lithium and Bromine/Zinc Exchange Reactions of 1,1-Dibromoalkenes: Higher Reactivity of the Sterically More Hindered Bromine Atom

Both lithium and zincate carbenoids (R1(R2)C=C(Br)M; M = Li and Zn(Bu)2Li) generated by the halogen/metal exchange reaction of 1,1-dibromoalkene 1 with BuLi and (Bu)3ZnLi, respectively, are configurationally stable at low temperature

Regiospecific and Stereospecific Synthesis of E- and Z-Trisubstituted Alkenes via 2,2-Disubstituted Vinylsilanes

Treatment of terminal alkynes 1 with the organocopper reagents derived from Grignard reagents, cuprous iodide, and lithium bromide (molar ratio 2:1:2) at low temperature followed by the addition of chlorotrimethylsilane gave the 2,2-disubstituted vinylsilanes 2 with complete regio- and stereospecificity (syn addition).Electrophilic substitution of 2 with ICl, Br2, and acetyl chloride gave the corresponding vinyl iodides, bromides, and α,β-unsaturated ketones 5 with retention of configuration.Epoxidation of 2 with MCPBA gave the epoxy silanes 6, which upon treatment with concentrated HX and BF3*Et2O gave the vinyl halides 7 with net inversion of configuration.If the epoxy silanes 6 were first converted to the β-hydroxy silanes 8 by Gilman's reagents, either E- or Z-trisubstituted alkenes 9 and 10 could be obtained by treatment with acid or base.Vinyl halides 7 could also be stereoselectively converted to other functionalities via the vinyllithium intermediates.
