1- Hexene, 1-bromo

Draw a stepwise mechanism for the following reaction that illustrates why two substitution products are formed. Explain why 1-bromo-2-hexene reacts rapidly with a weak nucleophile (CH3OH) under Sn1 reaction conditions, even though it is a 1° alkyl halide.

To a stirred solution of (E)-l-bromo-l-hexene (10 mmol) in THF/EtjO/ pentane (24ml, 4 1 1), cooled to —120°C, was added t-BuLi (20mmol in pentane) over 20 min. The pale yellow solution was stirred for 2 h at —110 to... 

This procedure illustrates a general method for the stereoselective synthesis of ( P)-disubstitnted alkenyl alcohols. The reductive elimination of cyclic /3-halo-ethers with metals was first introduced by Paul3 and one example, the conversion of tetrahydrofurfuryl chloride [2-(chloromethyl)tetrahydrofuran] to 4-penten-l-ol, is described in an earlier volume of this series.4 In 1947 Paul and Riobe5 prepared 4-nonen-l-ol by this method, and the general method has subsequently been applied to obtain alkenyl alcohols with other substitution patterns.2,6-8 (I )-4-Hexen-l-ol has been prepared by this method9 and in lower yield by an analogous reaction with 3-bromo-2-methyltetra-hydropyran.10... 

As in the Negishi reaction, various alkylboron reagents have also been successfully coupled with electrophile partners. Suzuki et al. coupled 1-bromo-l-phenylthioethene with 9-[2-(3-cyclohexenyl)ethyl]-9-BBN (27), prepared by a simple addition of 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (9-BBN) to 4-vinyl-1-hexene (26), to furnish 4-(3-cyclohexenyl)-2-phenylthio-1-butene (28) in good yield [36],... 

Lund and coworkers [131] pioneered the use of aromatic anion radicals as mediators in a study of the catalytic reduction of bromobenzene by the electrogenerated anion radical of chrysene. Other early investigations involved the catalytic reduction of 1-bromo- and 1-chlorobutane by the anion radicals of trans-stilhene and anthracene [132], of 1-chlorohexane and 6-chloro-l-hexene by the naphthalene anion radical [133], and of 1-chlorooctane by the phenanthrene anion radical [134]. Simonet and coworkers [135] pointed out that a catalytically formed alkyl radical can react with an aromatic anion radical to form an alkylated aromatic hydrocarbon. Additional, comparatively recent work has centered on electron transfer between aromatic anion radicals and l,2-dichloro-l,2-diphenylethane [136], on reductive coupling of tert-butyl bromide with azobenzene, quinoxaline, and anthracene [137], and on the reactions of aromatic anion radicals with substituted benzyl chlorides [138], with... 

Substituted allylic bromides furnish mixtures of the expected and rearranged products. The same mixture of products is formed independently from the geometry of the double bond (e.g. l-bromo-2-hexenes).

As with any intermediate, a transient radical can be implicated from products formed in a reaction specific to the radical of interest. Experimentally, this is the basis of so-called mechanistic probe studies. An application of this method might employ, for example, 6-bromo-l-hexene as a probe for a radical intermediate as shown in Figure 4.3. If the 5-hexenyl radical is formed as a transient with an adequate lifetime, then cyclization of this radical to the cyclopentyhnethyl radical could eventually give the cyclic product, and detection of the cyclic product provides evidence that a radical was formed. The mechanistic probe approach is deceptively simple, however. To be useful, one must exclude other possibilities for formation of the rearranged product and demonstrate that the transient was formed in the reaction of interest and not in a side reaction. The latter is especially difficult to demonstrate, and, unfortunately, some mechanistic probe studies that seemingly provided proof of radical intermediates were later found to be complicated by radical-forming side reactions. 

One of the classical solutions to overcome the low reactivity is to render the carbomagnesiation intramolecular. For example, Utimoto and coworkers reported that the reaction of ( )-6-bromo-3-methyl-l-trimethylsilyl-l-hexene (85) with magnesium produces the corresponding Grignard reagent 86, which intramolecularly adds to the vinylsilane moiety from the less hindered side affording a single stereoisomer of cycUzed product 87 (Scheme 60) °°.
