Another procedure relies on a domino Michael-O-alkylation reaction sequence to yield a variety of dihydrofurans. Combination of cyclohexanedione (30) with vinyl bromide 50 in the presence of l,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) provides dihydrofuran 51 in 83% yield. Numerous 1,3-dicarbonyls and vinyl bromides are amenable to this methodology, and thus a wide range of products like 51 are available via this strategy. 

This type of reaction usually gives good yields here the possible iV-alkylation is reversible—through a retro-Michael-type reaction ... 

The Michael type reaction of f3/f -5-r-butyldimethysiloxy-3-phenyl-l//-pyrrolo[l,2-c oxa2ole with nitroethylene proceeds in the presence of Lev/is acid to give the alkylated product in good chemical yield and diastereoselecdvity In the case of nitroethylene, the Diels-Alder type transition state is favored to give the ryu-adduct selectively fEq 4 72 ... 

A common reaction sequence is shown in the schemes printed above. The sulfosuccinate monoesters are produced by a two-step reaction. In the first step 1 mol of maleic anhydride is reacted with a hydroxyl group-bearing component. In the second step the monoester is reacted with sodium sulfite (or sodium bisulfite) to form the disodium alkyl sulfosuccinate. At the so-called halfester stage, there are two possibilities for an electrophilic attack [61] (Michael-type reaction) at the double bond (Scheme 6). Reactivity differences between the two vinylic carbons should be very small, so that probably an exclusive formation of one single regioisomer can be excluded. 

The method is quite useful for particularly active alkyl halides such as allylic, benzylic, and propargylic halides, and for a-halo ethers and esters, but is not very serviceable for ordinary primary and secondary halides. Tertiary halides do not give the reaction at all since, with respect to the halide, this is nucleophilic substitution and elimination predominates. The reaction can also be applied to activated aryl halides (such as 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene see Chapter 13), to epoxides, " and to activated alkenes such as acrylonitrile. The latter is a Michael type reaction (p. 976) with respect to the alkene. 

With any substrate, when Y is an ion of the type Z—CR2 (Z is as defined above R may be alkyl, aryl, hydrogen, or another Z), the reaction is called the Michael reaction (see 15-21). In this book, we will call all other reactions that follow this mechanism Michael-type additions. Systems of the type C=C—C=C—Z can give 1,2, 1,4, or 1,6 addition. Michael-type reactions are reversible, and compounds of the type YCH2CH2Z can often be decomposed to YH and CH2=CHZ by heating, either with or without alkali. 

The Michael-type reaction of an anion (generated from compound 77) with ethyl crotonate yielded the corresponding ester 78 in 82% yield (Scheme 19). Alkylation of compound 77 with benzyl bromide afforded derivative 79 in 85% yield. The attempted reactions of the anion with oxiranes and trimethylsilyl chloride did not lead to the expected substitution products and the starting oxadiazoles were recovered in 70-80% yields <2001ARK101>. 

Standard cyclisation methodology was used to access the cyclic monophosphinic acid derivative 78 by reaction of ammonium phosphonate and ethyldiisopropylamine, followed by the addition of chlorotrimethylsilane, with 2,2 -bis (bromomethyl)-l,l -biphenyl. Silane reduction of 78 gave the secondary phosphine. The secondary phosphine borane complex 79 could be used in alkylation or Michael addition reactions. For example the Michael adduct 80 was produced in high yield by treatment of 78 with a NaH suspension in THF followed by the addition of diethylvinylphosphonate . 

By using diamines, the 2-alkyl-(benzo)imidazolines 581 and 582 were formed by a double Michael addition reaction and subsequent elimination of MeCN [266, 267]. 

The availability of a general procedure to prepare 4-alkyl-2-(trifluoromethyl)-5(2F0-oxazolones 12 from a-amino acids and TFAA, and taking into account the tautomerization process, has led to many efforts to direct the alkylation reaction toward C-2 or C-4. For example, in the presence of triethylamine, Michael addition of 12 occurs at C-2 when tert-butylacrylate is used as electrophile. The resulting... 

Not only alkylations, but also Michael-type reactions, with weakly basic heterocyclic amines, can be accomplished by PTC. Yamada and Ohki158 have recently reported such a reaction with pyridazinones (99). 

The competition between Michael addition of a,(3-unsaturated ketones and Diels-Alder reactions involving furan and 2-methylfuran is affected by the catalyst used. Methyl vinyl ketone gives the alkylation product with furan and 2-methylfuran in the presence of silica gel (88TL175). Bis(alkylated) products have also been obtained in reactions of 2-methylene-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds (90H(31)1699). An intramolecular proton catalyzed alkylation reaction of an a,(3-unsaturated ketone provided a straightforward synthesis of norpinguisone (90TL4343) and in the example shown in Equation (4) the cyclization reaction involved an a,(3-y,8-dienone (94TL4887). 

Most suicide inhibitors are based on the generation of an intermediate that has conjugated double bonds and that is susceptible to a Michael addition reaction. A nucleophilic group on the enzyme may then be alkylated by the intermediate (equation 9.7). The conjugated intermediate is usually generated by proton-abstraction by a basic group on the enzyme. 

In most cases98 conjugate addition-enolate alkylation reaction sequences do not exhibit particular sensitivity with respect to the identity of the alkyl group present in the alkyl alkenoate substrate. When a Michael donor has been chosen that reacts in both the 1,4- and 1,2-addition modes, it may be possible to choose an alkyl group for the ester substrate that forces the Michael donor to undergo exclusive 1,4-addition by sterically shielding the carbonyl carbon from attack by the nucleophile (equation 23)."... 

Carbocyclization of m-alkcnyl-z-methoxybcnzy I lithiums to form five- or six-membered rings has been studied 101 the five-membered ring is formed with a cis-stereochemical relationship between the methoxy substituent and the adjacent methyl group. Intramolecular carbolithiation of vinyl sulfides at — 105°C in THF has been found to occur non-stereospecifically with regard to the newly formed C—Li centre.102. The stereochemistry of selective tandem Michael addition alkylation reactions of vinylphosphonates has been explored.103... 

The synthetic methods which are illustrated in this section are (a) the formation of symmetrical 1,4-diketones from 1,3- (or / -)keto esters (Expt 5.104), and (b) a Michael addition reaction involving nitroalkanes and a, /f-unsaturated ketones (Expt 5.105). The synthesis of symmetrical 1,4-diketones from the sodio derivatives of /f-keto esters, or their mono-alkyl derivatives, by treatment with iodine [Method (a)], may be formulated in the following general manner. 

Whilst the use of Taddol as an asymmetric phase-transfer catalyst for asymmetric Michael reactions was only moderately successful, it was much more enantioselec-tive in catalyzing alkylation reactions. For this study, Belokon and Kagan employed alanine derivatives lib and 16a-c as substrates, and investigated their alkylation with benzyl bromide under solid-liquid phase-transfer conditions in the presence of 10 mol % of Taddol to form a-methyl phenylalanine, as shown in Scheme 8.8. The best results were obtained using the isopropyl ester of N-benzylidene alanine 16b as substrate and sodium hydroxide as the base. Under these conditions, (R)-a-methyl phenylalanine 17 could be obtained in 81% yield and with 82% ee [19]. Under the same reaction conditions, substrate 16b reacted with allyl bromide to give (R)-Dimethyl allylglycine in 89% yield and with 69% ee, and with (l-naphthyl)methyl chloride to give (R)-a-methyl (l-naphthyl)alanine in 86% yield and with 71% ee [20].
