Allenes allylation

Addition to allenes. Allylic carboxylates and amines are formed in such addition reactions. 

Other Reactions of Allenes.—Allylic halides undergo solvolysis at rates greater than those of their saturated analogues owing to charge delocalization through the Tr-system. The vinyl cation,it may be anticipated, could be... 

The intermediate 190 of the intramolecular aminopalladation of an allenic bond with jV-tosylcarbamate undergoes insertion of allylic chloride. Subsequent elimination of PdCl2 occurs to afford the 1,4-diene system 191. The regeneration of Pd(II) species makes the reaction catalytic without using a reoxidant[190]. 

Two monomeric and dimeric 2-substituied 7r-allylic complexes (548 and 549) are obtained by treatment of allene with PdCl2(PhCN)2. They are formed by the nucleophilic attack at the central carbon of allene[493, 494],... 

Aryl or alkenyl halides attack the central carbon of the allene system in the 2,3-butadien-l-ol 120 to form the 7r-allyl intermediate 121, which undergoes elimination reaction to afford the o,/3-unsaturated ketone 122 or aldehyde. The reaction proceeds smoothly in DMSO using dppe as a ligandflOl]. 

When allene derivatives are treated with aryl halides in the presence of Pd(0), the aryl group is introduced to the central carbon by insertion of one of the allenic bonds to form the 7r-allylpalladium intermediate 271, which is attacked further by amine to give the allylic amine 272. A good ligand for the reaction is dppe[182]. Intramolecular reaction of the 7-aminoallene 273 affords the pyrrolidine derivative 274[183]. 

Allenes also react with aryl and alkenyl halides, or triflates, and the 7r-allyl-palladium intermediates are trapped with carbon nucleophiles. The formation of 283 with malonate is an example[186]. The steroid skeleton 287 has been constructed by two-step reactions of allene with the enol trillate 284, followed by trapping with 2-methyl-l,3-cyclopentanedione (285) to give 286[187]. The inter- and intramolecular reactions of dimethyl 2,3-butenylmalonate (288) with iodobenzene afford the 3-cyclopentenedicarboxylate 289 as a main product) 188].

Allenes react with other typical electrophiles such as the halogens and mercuric ion. In systems where bridged-ion intermediates would be expected, nucleophilic capture generally occurs at the allylic position. This pattern is revealed, for example, in the products of solvent capture in halogen additions and by the structures of mercuration products. ... 

An allylic pertluonnated carbamon can be generated from tetrakis(trifluo-romethyl)allene and cesium fluoride and can be trapped by reactive alkylating agents 247] (equation 51)... 

Ethyl chlorodifluoroacetate has been used in a silicon-induced Reformatsky-Claisen reaction of allyl chlorodifluoroacetates in the presence ot zinc as a route to 2,2-difluoro unsaturated acids [( S] (equahon 58) When this methodology is applied to chlorodifluoropropargylic esters, the corresponding allenic esters are formed [SS]... 

The 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions offluonnatedallenes provide a rich and varied chemistry Allenes, such as 1,1-difluoroallene and fluoroallene, that have fluorine substitution on only one of their two cumulated double bonds are very reactive toward 1,3-dipoles Such activation derives from the electron attracting inductive and hyperconjugative effects of the allylic fluorine substituent(s) that give nse to a considerable lowering of the energy of the LUMO of the C(2)-C(3) n bond [27]... 

As with i -substituted allyl alcohols, 2,i -substituted allyl alcohols are epoxidized in excellent enantioselectivity. Examples of AE reactions of this class of substrate are shown below. Epoxide 23 was utilized to prepare chiral allene oxides, which were ring opened with TBAF to provide chiral a-fluoroketones. Epoxide 24 was used to prepare 5,8-disubstituted indolizidines and epoxide 25 was utilized in the formal synthesis of macrosphelide A. Epoxide 26 represents an AE reaction on the very electron deficient 2-cyanoallylic alcohols and epoxide 27 was an intermediate in the total synthesis of (+)-varantmycin. 

Reaction of alkynols 156 with benzenesulphenyl chloride afforded either the vinylacety-lene sulphoxides 157 or the allene sulphoxides 158 depending upon the substitution pattern of alkynols 156. Vinylacetylene sulphoxides 157 result from a [2,3]-allylic rearrangement of the sulphenate ester 159 (equation 88). In the case of the cyclic... 

Following studies on the rearrangement of allylic arenesulfinates, Braverman and coworkers have investigated a number of natural extensions of this unique transformation, including the predictable [2,3] sigma tropic rearrangements of allylic sulfenates to sulfoxides and of propargylic sulfenates and sulfinates to allenic sulfoxides and sulfones respectively. The last reaction is described below, while the other two are described in Chapter 14. 

Analogous with the rearrangement of allylic sulfoxides is the [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of propargylic sulfoxides to allenic sulfenates. This process, which has been relatively little studied so far, appears to be the first step in the facile and quantitative rearrangement of sulfoxide 98 to the hemithioacetal 101 (equation 45)167. This reaction,... 

The base-catalyzed addition of allyl alcohol to (phenylsulfonyl)allene (112) gives the adduct which rearranges to ff-keto sulfone (113) on the treatment with KH in HMPA (equation 88)72.

In contrast to the findings of van Tamelen et al., whose experiments employed carbonium ion concentrations of 10 M, irradiation of the trityl ion in somewhat lower concentrations ( 10 m) in 99% sulfuric acid in the absence of hydrogen donors with oxygen present yielded only two products, ions 109 and 110 (Allen and Owen, 1971). An excited triplet carbonium ion is again invoked, which is thought to give rise to the intermediate 111. This species can then lose an allylic hydride ion... 

The allylic, allenic, propargylic, 2,4-dienylic, cyclopentadienylic, and related tin compounds present special, structural features and show special reactivity by both heterolytic and homolytic mechanisms.
