Radical reductions of alkyl halides bearing electron withdrawing groups with N-heterocyclic carbene boranes

1,3-Dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene borane and 2,4-dimethyl-1,2,4-triazol-3- ylidene borane are found to be useful reagents for the reduction of alkyl iodides and bromides bearing nearby electron withdrawing substituents. Signatures of radical chain reactions are seen in many cases, but ionic reductions may also be occurring with some substrates. The reagents are attractive because of their low molecular weight, their availability from inexpensive precursors, and their stability. Separation of the borane products from the target products is readily accomplished either with or without prior regeneration of the borane for later reuse. 2,4-Dimethyl-1,2,4-triazol-3-ylidene borane is versatile because both starting borane and its derived products can be removed by extraction with water.

Indirect electroreductive cyclization of N-allyl and N-propargylamides using a nickel(II) complex as an electron-transfer catalyst: Selective formation of halogenated and non-halogenated pyrrolidinones

Nickel(II) complex-catalyzed indirect electroreduction of N-allyl and N-propargyl-α-bromoamides conducted in dimethylformamide with 2 eq of a hydrogen atom donor, diphenylphosphine, afforded the corresponding pyrrolidinones as the sole cyclized product in

Indirect Electroreductive Cyclisation of N-Allylic and N-Propargylbromo Amides and o-Bromoacryloylanilides using Nickel(II) Complexes as Electron-transfer Catalysts

Nickel(II) complex-catalysed indirect electroreduction of N-allylic and N-propargyl-α-bromo amides and o-bromoacryloylanilides gave the corresponding 5-membered lactams.The product distribution was affected by the ability of the solvent to donate hydrogen atom.The electroreduction of N-allyl-N-(bromoacetyl)toluene-p-sulfonamide 1a in DMF and acetonitrile yielded as main product the 4-methylpyrrolidinone 2a (41percent) and the 4-(bromomethyl)pyrrolidinone 3a (33percent), respectively.On addition of 2 mol equiv. of a hydrogen-atom donor (Ph2PH) to the reaction of bromo amide 1a in acetonitrile, compound 1a provided compound 2a (58percent) as the sole cylised product.

CONJUGATE ADDITION OF ORGANOCOPPER REAGENTS TO N-TOSYLATED α, β-UNSATURATED AMIDES

N-Tosylated α, β-unsaturated amides and lactams undergo facile conjugate addition with R2CuLi or RMgX/CuI (cat.).Stereoselective synthesis of trans-β,γ-dialkyl-γ-lactams can be achieved by this procedure.The resulting N-tosylamide moiety is further transformed to alcohol and several carbonyl compounds by way of reduction or nucleophillic displacement.
