Allyl-methyl-phenyl

Complexes 79 show several types of chemical reactions (87CCR229). Nucleophilic addition may proceed at the C2 and S atoms. In excess potassium cyanide, 79 (R = R = R" = R = H) forms mainly the allyl sulfide complex 82 (R = H, Nu = CN) (84JA2901). The reaction of sodium methylate, phenyl-, and 2-thienyllithium with 79 (R = R = r" = R = H) follows the same route. The fragment consisting of three coplanar carbon atoms is described as the allyl system over which the Tr-electron density is delocalized. The sulfur atom may participate in delocalization to some extent. Complex 82 (R = H, Nu = CN) may be proto-nated by hydrochloric acid to yield the product where the 2-cyanothiophene has been converted into 2,3-dihydro-2-cyanothiophene. The initial thiophene complex 79 (R = R = r" = R = H) reacts reversibly with tri-n-butylphosphine followed by the formation of 82 [R = H, Nu = P(n-Bu)3]. Less basic phosphines, such as methyldiphenylphosphine, add with much greater difficulty. The reaction of 79 (r2 = r3 = r4 = r5 = h) with the hydride anion [BH4, HFe(CO)4, HW(CO)J] followed by the formation of 82 (R = Nu, H) has also been studied in detail. When the hydride anion originates from HFe(CO)4, the process is complicated by the formation of side products 83 and 84. The 2-methylthiophene complex 79... 

The oxidative dimerization of the anion of methyl phenyl sulfone (from a Grignard reagent) in ethereal solution in the presence of cupric chloride in 5% yield has been reported47. Despite the reported48 poor stability of the a-sulfonyl C-centered radicals, Julia and coworkers49 provoked the dimerization (in 13 to 56% yields) of the lithiated carbanion of alkyl phenyl sulfones using cupric salts as oxidants. The best results are obtained with cupric triflates in THF-isobutyronitrile medium (56% yield for R = H). For allyl phenyl sulfones the coupling in the 3-3 mode is predominant.

The formation of ethers such as 1806 by EtsSiH 84b can also be catalyzed by trityl perchlorate to convert, e.g., benzaldehyde in 84% yield into dibenzyl ether 1817 [48]. The combination of methyl phenethyl ketone 1813 with O-silylated 3-phenyl-n-pro-panol 1818, in the presence of trityl perchlorate, leads to the mixed ether 1819 in 68% yield [48] (Scheme 12.15). Instead of trityl perchlorate, the combination of trityl chloride with MesSiH 84a or EtsSiH 84b and sodium tetrakis[3,5-bis-(trifluoro-methyl)phenyl]borane as catalyst reduces carbonyl groups to ethers or olefins [49]. Employing TMSOTf 20 as catalyst gives very high yields of ethers. Thus benzaldehyde reacts with O-silylated allyl alcohol or O-silylated cyclohexanol to give the...

Allylic and benzylic alcohols were oxidized to aldehydes or ketones with BnPhsPHSOs in refluxing CHsCN. The yield increased in the presence of bismuth chloride in a catalytic amount. Selective oxidation of various alcohols under solvent free conditions was also reported Interestingly, benzyl alcohols were oxidized selectively to benzaldehydes in very high yield (95-100%) when reacted with BnPhsPHSOs (1.2 eq.) and AICI3 (1 eq.) in the presence of an equimolar amount of 2-phenethyl alcohol, diphenyl carbinol or methyl phenyl sulfide (equation 72).

Palladium-mediated cydization based on the reactivity of o-alkynyl or alkenyl-phenyl isonitriles have been developed [105]. On the basis of their earlier studies on the three-component synthesis of allyl aryl cyanamides [106], Yamamoto and co-workers reported a palladium-catalyzed three-component coupling reaction of 2-alkynylisocyanobenzenes 122 with allyl methyl carbonate and trimethylsilylazide leading to N-cyanoindoles 125 [107]. One of the key steps of the proposed mechanism is the formation of 7i-allylpalladium carbodiimide 123 and its isomerization to rc-allylpalladium cyanamide complex 124 (Scheme 8.50).
