0-Alkylation Triphenylmethylation

Cesium forms simple alkyl and aryl compounds that are similar to those of the other alkah metals (6). They are colorless, sohd, amorphous, nonvolatile, and insoluble, except by decomposition, in most solvents except diethylzinc. As a result of exceptional reactivity, cesium aryls should be effective in alkylations wherever other alkaline alkyls or Grignard reagents have failed (see Grignard reactions). Cesium reacts with hydrocarbons in which the activity of a C—H link is increased by attachment to the carbon atom of doubly linked or aromatic radicals. A brown, sohd addition product is formed when cesium reacts with ethylene, and a very reactive dark red powder, triphenylmethylcesium [76-83-5] (C H )2CCs, is formed by the reaction of cesium amalgam and a solution of triphenylmethyl chloride in anhydrous ether.

Indenopyrans (45) which can be obtained after Schroth and Fischer from benzoxalenes (44) and lithium alkyls or aryls, are y-pyrans, and may be dehydrogenated by triphenylmethyl perchlorate to the indenopyrylium perchlorate (46). °... 

The kinetics of alkylation by triphenylmethyl compounds have been studied. Hart and Cassis353 found that the alkylation of phenol and o-cresol by triphenylmethyl chloride in o-dichlorobenzene gave non-linear kinetic plots which were, however, rendered linear by presaturation of the reaction mixture with hydrogen chloride, precise third-order kinetics, equation (182)... 

As shown in Table XIV, the reactivity of (trichloromethyl)silanes varied depending upon the substituent on silicon. The reactivity and yields of (trichloromethyl)-methyldichlorosilanes were slightly higher than those of (trichloroinethyl)tri-chlorosilanes in the aluminum chloride-catalyzed alkylation as similarly observed in the alkylations with (ai-chloroalkyl)silanes and (dichloroalkyl)silanes. The electron-donating methyl group on the silicon facilitates the alkylation more than the electron-withdrawing chlorine. The minor products, (diphenylmethyl)chloro-silanes, were presumably derived from the decomposition of (triphenylmethyl)-chlorosilanes.

A.s. shown in Table XV, the decomposition of (triphenylmethyl)methyldichloro-silane did not occur at room temperature, but occurred at the reflux temperature of benzene to give (diphenylmethyl)methyldichlorosilane in 10 and 20% yields after I and 2 h reaction periods. The results indicate that the decomposition occurs in the alkylation reaction conditions of benzene with (trichloromethyl)chlorosilanes a.s observed in the decomposition of tetraphcnylmethane to triphenylmethane. ... 

Williams and Rastetter also accomplished an elegant synthesis of ( )-hyalodendrin (83) in 1980 [39]. Beginning with the sarcosine anhydride-derived enolic aldehyde 78, silyl protection of the enal enabled alkylation of the glycine center with benzyl bromide and thiolation using LDA and monoclinic sulfur a la Schmidt. After protection of the thiol with methylsulfenyl chloride and deprotection of the silyl ether, the enol was sulfenylated with triphenylmethyl chlorodisulfide to afford bis(disulfide) 82 as a 2 1 mixture of diastereomers favoring the anti isomer. Reduction of the disulfides with sodium borohydride and oxidation with KI3 in pyridine afforded ( )-hyalodendrin (83) in 29 % yield (Scheme 9.4).

Predictably, 1,2,4-triazole is alkylated preferentially at the 1-position [36, 38,39]. Specific alkylation at the 4-position can be achieved by the initial reaction with dibromomethane to form the bis-triazol-l-ylmethane (see below), followed by quat-emization of the triazole system at the 4-position and subsequent C-N cleavage of the 1,1 -methylenebistriazolium salts [40]. 1,2,3-Benztriazole yields a mixture of the isomeric 1- and 2-alkylated derivatives [41]. The 1-isomer predominates, but the ratio depends on whether the reactions are conducted in the presence, or absence, of a nonpolar organic solvent (Table 5.33). Higher ratios of the 1-isomer are obtained under solidrliquid two-phase conditions. Thus, alkylation of 1,2,3-benztriazole with benzyl chloride produces an overall yield of 95% with the l- 2-isomer ratio of ca. 5.7 1 similar reactions with diphenylmethyl and triphenylmethyl chlorides gives overall yields of 95% (9 1 ratio) and 70% (100% 1-isomer), respectively [38], 6-Substituted purines are alkylated at the N9-atom and reaction with 1-bromo-3-chloropropane yields exclusively the 9-chloropropyl derivative (cf. reaction wi phenols) [42]. 

Electrogenerated bases (see Chap. 14) can be prepared in situ and tailored for regioselective deprotonation. Regioselective alkylation of an unsymmetrical cyclic ketone was achieved by using an electrogenerated triphenylmethyl anion (Eq. 5, RX = CH3I,...

Waack and Doran [26] reported on the relative reactivities of 13 structurally different organolithium compounds in polymerization with styrene in tetrahydro-furan at 20°C. The reactivities were determined by the molecular weights of the formed polystyrene. The molecular weights are inversely related to the activity of the respective organolithium polymerization initiators. Reactivities decreased in the order alkyl > benzyl > allyl > phenyl > vinyl > triphenylmethyl as shown in Table 3.1.
