Allyl alcohol 2-methyl

ADDITION OF ORGANOLITHIUM REAGENTS TO ALLYL ALCOHOL 2-METHYL-l-HEXANOL... 

Various nucleophiles other than methanol can be introduced onto the carbonyl carbon. Anodic oxidation of acylsilanes in the presence of allyl alcohol, 2-methyl-2-propanol, water, and methyl /V-methylcarbamate in dichlorometh-ane affords the corresponding esters, carboxylic acid, and amide derivatives (Scheme 24) [16]. Therefore, anodic oxidation provides a useful method for the synthesis of esters and amides under neutral conditions. 

Table 17) with two substituents in position C3 the oxygen transfer by the chiral hydroperoxides occurred from the same enantioface of the double bond, while epoxidation of the (ii)-phenyl-substituted substrates 142c,g,i resulted in the formation of the opposite epoxide enantiomer in excess. In 2000 Hamann and coworkers reported a new saturated protected carbohydrate hydroperoxide 69b , which showed high asymmetric induction in the vanadium-catalyzed epoxidation reaction of 3-methyl-2-buten-l-ol. The ee of 90% obtained was a milestone in the field of stereoselective oxygen transfer with optically active hydroperoxides. Unfortunately, the tertiary allylic alcohol 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol was epoxidized with low enantioselectivity (ee 18%) with the same catalytic system . 

The reaction of allyl alcohol, 2-methyl allyl alcohol and crotyl alcohol (trans cis= 4.45 1) were reacted with hydrogen peroxide at 30 °C using methanol assolvent, and the results are shown in Figures 1-3. It is apparent that the order of reactivity is cis-crotyl alcohol > trans-crotyl alcohol > allyl alcohol > 2 methylallyl alcohol. The latter alcohol was not particularly reactive and this indicates that substition at the 2-position inhibits the reaction significantly.

Using a similar approach, Chechik and Crooks (73), modified the PAMAM dendrimer-encapsulated palladium nanoparticles with perfluoropolyether tails utilizing non-covalent ion-pair interactions. The catalytic hydrogenation of six substrates under biphasic conditions (toluene/ perfluoro-2-butyltetrahydrofuran FC-75) was investigated. Allyl alcohol, methyl acrylate, vinyl isopropenyl ether, and... 

When the commodity chemical propylene oxide is heated to high temperature in the gas phase in a shock tube, unimolecular rearrangement reactions occur that generate the CsHgO isomers allyl alcohol, methyl vinyl edier, propanal, and acetone (Figure 15.9). Dubnikova and Lifshitz carried out a series of calculations to determine the mechanistic pathway(s) for each isomerization, with comparison of activation parameters to those determined from Arrhenius fits to experimental rate data to validate the theoretical protocol.

The reaction of nitrone 101 with cyclic olefins, such as maleic anhydride.61 W-phenylmaleimide,77 cyclopentene,77 norbornene,77 in-dene.77 and acenaphthylene,77 is normal and gives isoxazolidine of type V. Some reactions of a-(6-uracilyl) jV-phenylnitrone are also reported those with allyl alcohol, methyl acrylate, acrylamide, and styrenes, all give 5 substituted 3-uracilylisoxazolidines (type I).79,80 With methyl methacrylate a type III cycloadduct was formed.79,80...

Carbonylation of allylic alcohols requires severe conditions[248]. The carbonylation of allylic alcohols proceeds smoothly in the presence of LiCl and Ti(IV) isopropoxide[249j. The allylic methyl ether 394 can be carbonylated with the use of PdCl2[250] or 7r-allylpalladium coordinated by BF4, PF, and... 

The slow oxidation of primary alcohols, particularly MeOH, is utilized for the oxidation of allylic or secondary alcohols with allyl methyl carbonate without forming carbonates of the alcohols to be oxidized. Allyl methyl carbonate (564) forms 7r-allylpalladium methoxide, then exchange of the methoxide with a secondary or allylic alcohol 563 present in the reaction medium takes place to form the 7r-allylpalladium alkoxide 565, which undergoes elimination of j3-hydrogen to give the ketone or aldehyde 566. The lactol 567 was oxidized selectively with diallyl carbonate to the lactone 568 without attacking the secondary alcohol in the synthesis of echinosporin[360]. 

Because the positive charge m an allylic carbocation is shared by two carbons there are two potential sites for attack by a nucleophile Thus hydrolysis of 3 chloro 3 methyl 1 butene gives a mixture of two allylic alcohols... 

Dianion formation from 2-methyl-2-propen-l-ol seems to be highly dependent on reaction conditions. Silylation of the dianion generated using a previously reported method was unsuccessful in our hands. The procedure described here for the metalation of the allylic alcohol is a modification of the one reported for formation of the dianion of 3-methyl-3-buten-l-ol The critical variant appears to be the polarity of the reaction medium. In solvents such as ether and hexane, substantial amounts (15-50%) of the vinyl-silane 3 are observed. Very poor yields of the desired product were obtained in dirnethoxyethane and hexamethylphosphoric triamide, presumably because of the decomposition of these solvents under these conditions. Empirically, the optimal solvent seems to be a mixture of ether and tetrahydrofuran in a ratio (v/v) varying from 1.4 to 2.2 in this case 3 becomes a very minor component. 

In general, 2-substituted allylic alcohols are epoxidized in good enantioselectivity. Like glycidol, however, the product epoxides are susceptible to ring opening via nucleophilic attack at the C-3 position. Results of the AE reaction on 2-methyl-2-propene-l-ol followed by derivatization of the resulting epoxy alcohol are shown in Table 1.6.1. Other examples are shown below. 

Quantitative measurements of the rate of acid catalyzed rearrangement of 3-methyl-l-(2-thienyl) allyl alcohol (178) to 1-methyl-3-(2-thienyl)allyl alcohol (179) showed that (178) rearranged forty times faster than the phenyl analog but about three times slower than the... 

In 1963, Dauben and Berezin published the first systematic study of this syn directing effect (Scheme 3.15) [37]. They found that the cyclopropanation of 2-cyclohexen-l-ol 32 proceed in 63% yield to give the syn isomer 33 as the sole product. They observed the same high syn diastereoselectivity in a variety of cyclic allylic alcohols and methyl ethers. On the basis of these results, they reasonably conclude that there must be some type of coordinative interaction between the zinc carbenoid and the substrate. 

The excess of N-chlorosuccinimide is destroyed by the addition of about 15 drops of allyl alcohol and 180 ml of water is then added with stirring. This mixture is held at 0°C for about one hour. The precipitated 16/3-methyl-1,4-pregnadiene-9o-chloro-11/3,17o,21-triol-3,20-dione-21-acetate is recovered by filtration. A solution of 250 mg of the chlorohydrin in 5 ml of 0.25N perchloric acid in methanol is stirred for about 18 hours at room temperature to produce 16/3-methyl-9o-chloro-11/3,17o,21-trihydroxy-1,4-pregnadiene-3,20-dione which is recovered by adding water to the reaction mixture and allowing the product to crystallize. Propionic anhydride is then used to convert this material to the dipropionate. 

Preparation of 1-Methyl-5-Allyl-5-( 1-Methyl-2-Pentynyl) Barbituric Acid A solution of 23.8 g of sodium in 360 ml of absolute alcohol was prepared and thereto were added 38.3 g of methyl urea and 96.8 g of diethyl allyl (1-methyl-2-pentynyl) malonate. The mixture was refluxed for about 20 hours, cooled, and the ethanol was removed by distillation in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in about 300 ml of water and the aqueous solution was washed with ether, and the washings were discarded. The aqueous solution was then acidified with acetic acid, and extracted with three 150 ml of portions of ether. 

Propyl-methyl-carbinyl allyl barbituric acid (also called allyl 1-methyl-butyl barbituric acid) may be prepared as follows 1 mol of propyl-methyl-carbinyl barbituric acid is dissolved in a suitable vessel In a 10 to 35% aqueous solution of 1 mol of potassium hydroxide. To this are added somewhat in excess of 1 mol of allyl bromide, and alcohol equal to about 10% of the total volume of the solution. The vessel Is agitated for 50 to 75 hours. At the end of this time, the solution, which may still exhibit two layers, is concentrated to about one-half its volume to remove the excess allyl bromide and the alcohol. On cooling, an oily layer, which is propyl-methyl-carbinyl allyl barbituric acid, separates out as a sticky viscous mass. It is dried, washed with petroleum ether, and dissolved in the minimum amount of benzene. Any unreacted propyl-methyl-carbinyl barbituric acid, which does not dissolve, is filtered off. The addition of petroleum ether to the clear filtrate causes the propyl-methyl-carbinyl allyl barbituric acid to precipitate as an oily mass. 

One part by weight of propyl-methyl-carbinyl allyl barbituric acid is added to enough alcohol to facilitate handling, in this case conveniently about six times its weight. To this is added a solution of sodium hydroxide, preferably carbonate-free or substantially so, containing °%38 parts by weight of sodium hydroxide, which is the amount of sodium hydroxide necessary to combine in equal molecular proportions with the propyl-methyl-carbinyl allyl barbituric acid. This solution is filtered clear, and is then evaporated under vacuum until the sodium propyl-methyl-carbinyl allyl barbiturate (alternatively named sodium allyl 1-methyl-butyl barbiturate) separates out in solid form. The salt as thus obtained in solid form contains a varying amount of moisture. 

Schemes 28 and 29 illustrate Curran s synthesis of ( )-hirsutene [( )-1]. Luche reduction58 of 2-methylcyclopentenone (137), followed by acetylation of the resulting allylic alcohol, furnishes allylic acetate 138. Although only one allylic acetate stereoisomer is illustrated in Scheme 28, compound 138 is, of course, produced in racemic form. By way of the powerful Ireland ester enolate Clai-sen rearrangement,59 compound 138 can be transformed to y,S-unsaturated tm-butyldimethylsilyl ester 140 via the silyl ketene acetal intermediate 139. In 140, the silyl ester function and the methyl-substituted ring double bond occupy neighboring regions of space, a circumstance that favors a phenylselenolactonization reac-...

Demailly and coworkers195 found that the asymmetric induction increased markedly when optically active methyl pyridyl sulfoxide was treated with an aldehyde. They also synthesized (S)-chroman-2-carboxylaldehyde 152, which is the cyclic ring part of a-tocopherol, by aldol-type condensation of the optically active lithium salt of a,/3-unsaturated sulfoxide. Although the diastereomeric ratio of allylic alcohol 151 formed from lithium salt 149 and 150 was not determined, the reaction of 149 with salicylaldehyde gave the diastereomeric alcohol in a ratio of 28 72196.
