Oxidative chlorination of 4-pentenols and other functionalized hydrocarbons

Add time:09/08/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

Substituted 4-pentenols undergo regio- and stereoselective chlorocyclization, when treated in solutions of dimethyl carbonate with chloride, a terminal oxidant, and a buffered proton source. Effective oxidants for liberating chlorine-like reactivity from chloride in the temperature range between 20 and 40 °C are tert-butyl hydroperoxide, activated by a titanium(IV) or a molybdenum(VI) ONO-chelate complex, and potassium monoperoxysulfate from the ternary salt 2KHSO5·KHSO4·K2SO4 (oxone®). Substituents in the flexible part of the alkenol direct oxidative chlorocyclization 2,5-trans- and 2,4-cis-selectively. (E)-Configuration at the alkene translates anti-specifically into relative configuration of substituents at the β-chlorohydrin ether entity. A phenyl group bound to the terminal alkene carbon alters the inherent 5-exo-specificity for chlorocyclization of terminal 4-pentenols toward 6-endo-selectivity, as exemplified by synthesis of trans-3-chloro-2-phenyltetrahydropyran from (E)-5-phenyl-4-penten-1-ol in up to 74% yield. Competition kinetics show that 5-exo-chlorocyclization of 1-phenyl-4-penten-1-ol occurs at 40 °C 600 times faster than electrophilic aromatic chlorosubstitution of anisole. Prenyl-type alkenols undergo allylic chlorination with an ene-type selectivity, as exemplified in synthesis of a building block for the fragrance component rose oxide from citronellol.
