Acid alkoxycarbonylation

In each table, substituted azoles are ordered in the following way alkyl, substituted alkyl, aryl, formyl, acetyl, carboxylic acid, alkoxycarbonyl, cyano, amino, azido, diazonium salt, nitroso, nitro, hydroxy, alkoxy, fluoro, chloro, bromo, and iodo. 

Carboxy includes carboxy (carboxylic acids), alkoxycarbonyl (esters), carbamoyl (amides), thiocarbamoyl, hydrazinocarbamoyl (hydrazides), guanidinocarbonyl, azidocarbonyl (azides), chlorocarbonyl (acid chlorides), amidino, C-hydrazino-C-iminomethyl, C-alkoxy-C-iminomethyl (imino ethers), C-alkylthio-C-iminomethyl (iminothioethers), cyano (nitriles), C-formyl(aldehydes), dialkoxymethyl (acetals of aldehydes), C-acyl (ketones), isocyanato, and thiocyanato groups. 

The preparation and spectroscopic properties (infrared, ultraviolet, NMR) of iV-alkoxycarbonyl-N -(2-thiazolyl)thioureas (268) have been studied by the Nagano group (78, 264). These compounds react with bromine in acetic acid or chloroform to give 2--alkoxycarbonylimino-thiazolo[3,2-h]thiadiazolines (Scheme 162), whose structures were established by mass spectroscopy, infrared, NMR, and reactivity patterns (481). 

Pyridazinecarbohydrazides are prepared in the normal way from an ester or acid chloride and hydrazine or a substituted hydrazine, generally in good yields. Pyridazines with two ortho alkoxycarbonyl groups give cyclic hydrazides with hydrazine, which are pyridazinopyridazines. 

The Diels-Alder reactions of the methyl or ethyl ester of benzenesulfonylindole-2-acrylic acid with several l-alkoxycarbonyl-l,2-dihydropyridines are reported and only a single stereoisomer was obtained, as in the case of l-methoxy(ethoxy)-carbonyl-1,2-dihydropyridines. However, when the Diels-Alder reaction of 17 was carried out with 8g[R = (CHsjsC], a mixture of two stereoisomers 18gand25were obtained in a 1 1 ratio (65% total yield). The bulky rerr-butyl group creates sufficient steric interference with the indole ring to cause the loss of stereochemistry ...

The first synthesis of a 3//-3-benzazepine, e.g. 65 (R1 = R2 = Me), was achieved by the condensation of phthalaldehyde with a bis[(alkoxycarbonyl)methyl]methylamine.24"25 With sodium methoxide as the base, A%V-bis[(methoxycarbonyl)methyl]pheiiylaniine condenses with the dialdehyde in a similar manner to give dimethyl 3-phenyl-3//-3-benzazepine-2,4-dicar-boxy late (65, Rl — Ph R2 — Me).99 However, replacement of methoxide by potassium tert-butoxide results in formation of 3-phenyl-3//-3-benzazepine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid (65, R1 = Ph R2 = H).25... 

Alkyltriphenylphosphonium halides are only weakly acidic, and a strong base must be used for deprotonation. Possibilities include organolithium reagents, the anion of dimethyl sulfoxide, and amide ion or substituted amide anions, such as LDA or NaHMDS. The ylides are not normally isolated, so the reaction is carried out either with the carbonyl compound present or with it added immediately after ylide formation. Ylides with nonpolar substituents, e.g., R = H, alkyl, aryl, are quite reactive toward both ketones and aldehydes. Ylides having an a-EWG substituent, such as alkoxycarbonyl or acyl, are less reactive and are called stabilized ylides. 

An efficient one-pot synthesis of mikanecic acid derivatives was accomplished from allylic phosphonates, ClC02Et, and aqueous HCHO (Eq. 12.38).100 The overall process involves a cascade sequence linking together metalation-alkoxycarbonylation, Homer-Wadsworth-Emmons,...

The alkoxycarbonyl protecting groups can also be introduced into amines by, triazolides (Table 4—7). With A-tert-butoxycarbonyl-1,2,4-triazole the tert-butoxy-carbonyl protecting group (Boc) is transferred readily onto amino functions of primary amines, trimethylbenzyl ammonium salts of amino acids, or peptides.[ 1965 Alternatively, the Boc group can be transferred with terf-butylphenylcarbonate in the presence of 1,2,4-triazole. In this latter approach the triazolide is presumably formed as an intermediate. ... 

Hydroxycarbonylation and alkoxycarbonylation of alkenes catalyzed by metal catalyst have been studied for the synthesis of acids, esters, and related derivatives. Palladium systems in particular have been popular and their use in hydroxycarbonylation and alkoxycarbonylation reactions has been reviewed.625,626 The catalysts were mainly designed for the carbonylation of alkenes in the presence of alcohols in order to prepare carboxylic esters, but they also work well for synthesizing carboxylic acids or anhydrides.137 627 They have also been used as catalysts in many other carbonyl-based processes that are of interest to industry. The hydroxycarbonylation of butadiene, the dicarboxylation of alkenes, the carbonylation of alkenes, the carbonylation of benzyl- and aryl-halide compounds, and oxidative carbonylations have been reviewed.6 8 The Pd-catalyzed hydroxycarbonylation of alkenes has attracted considerable interest in recent years as a way of obtaining carboxylic acids. In general, in acidic media, palladium salts in the presence of mono- or bidentate phosphines afford a mixture of linear and branched acids (see Scheme 9). 

Nitrone 1,3-DC reactions are still the most general approach to isoxazolidines. The stereocontrol is usually achieved by the use of chiral nitrones and/or dipolarophiles, but new interesting achievements on Lewis acid catalyzed cycloadditions are also frequently reported. Tris(6,6,7,7,8,8,8-heptafluoro-2,2-dimethyl-3,5-octanatedionate) europium(III) [Eu(fod)3] selectively activated the Z-isomer of C-alkoxycarbonyl nitrone 75 existing as an E,Z-equilibrium mixture by forming the (Z)-75-Eu(fod)3 complex. (Z)-75-Eu(fod)3 reacted with electron-rich dipolarophiles such as vinyl ethers to give the trans-adducts with excellent diastereoselectivity <06T12227>. 

Compounds with methylene and methyne groups to which are attached two electronegative groups, such as carbonyl, alkoxycarbonyl, formyl, cyano, nitro, and sulfonyl groups, react with butadiene smoothly their acidic hydrogens are replaced with the 2,7-octadienyl group to give mono-and disubstituted compounds (59, 60). In addition, branched products are... 

Propargyltungsten complexes react with aldehydes in the presence of a Lewis acid to afford hydropyran derivatives (Scheme 62). They also form allyltungsten species after alkoxycarbonylation, which can react with aldehydes to... 

Pd-catalyzed carbonylation of heteroaryl halides provides a quick entry to heteroaryl carbonyl compounds such as heteroaryl aldehydes, carboxylic acids, ketones, esters, amides, a-keto esters and a-keto amides. In addition, Pd-catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation and aminocarbonylation are compatible with many functional groups, and therefore, are more advantageous than conventional methods for preparing esters and amides [78],... 

Aside from alkoxycarbonylations, hydroxycarbonylations in the presence of water to yield allenic carboxylic acids [15] (93, Y = OH) and aminocarbonylations in the presence of amines to give the analogous amides [139] (93, Y = NRR ) have also been carried out, respectively (Scheme 7.13). These products of structure 102 can also be obtained if using the propargylamines 101 with R1 = Ph or R3 Z H as starting materials (Scheme 7.15) [140]. Additionally, hydroxycarbonylations, also termed carboxyla-tions, are successful without palladium catalysis by reaction of propargyl halides and carbon monoxide in the presence of nickel(II) cyanide under phase-transfer conditions [141, 142]. 

FIGURE 2.21 Experimental evidence indicates that products from BOP-mediated reactions do not originate from the benzotriazolyl ester. The use of BOP allows successful coupling of A-alkoxycarbonyl-A-methylamino acids, whereas the benzotriazolyl esters of these acids undergo aminolysis only with great difficulty. The higher ratio of products obtained from the BOP-mediated reaction in the competing reactions described implies a compound other than the benzotriazolyl ester as the precursor of the peptides.
