Dialkoxy addition

The elimination of alcohol from P-alkoxypropionates can also be carried out by passing the alkyl P-alkoxypropionate at 200—400°C over metal phosphates, sihcates, metal oxide catalysts (99), or base-treated zeoHtes (98). In addition to the route via oxidative carbonylation of ethylene, alkyl P-alkoxypropionates can be prepared by reaction of dialkoxy methane and ketene (100).

The titaniated (25)-2,5-dihydro-2-isopropyl-3,6-dimethoxypyrazines derived from cyclo(L-Val, Gly) or cyclo(L-Val, Ala) (1, R1 = H, CH3) react with a,/I-unsaturatcd aldehydes exclusively by 1.2-addition (cf. nearly exclusive 1,4-addition of ,//-unsaturated ketones with cuprate complexes of 2,5-dialkoxy-3,6-dihydropyrazines, see Section D. 1.5.2.3.1.4.) in a highly diastereoselective mode to give virtually only the (l S,2R)-diastereoniers 2 ". In reactions with the corresponding lithiated pyrazines both regioselectivity and diastereofacial differentiation at C-2 are also remarkably high (dc 95 %), but the diastereomeric excess at C-l is substantially smaller (30 50%) ... 

Horhold et al. and Lenz et al. [94,95]. The polycondensation provides the cyano-PPVs as insoluble, intractable powders. Holmes et al. [96], and later on Rikken et al. [97], described a new family of soluble, well-characterized 2,5-dialkyl- and 2,5-dialkoxy-substituted poly(pflrfl-phenylene-cyanovinylene)s (74b) synthesized by Knoevenagel condensation-polymerization of the corresponding alkyl-or alkoxy-substituted aromatic monomers. Careful control of the reaction conditions (tetra-n-butyl ammonium hydroxide as base) is required to avoid Michael-type addition. 

An alternative method to prepare (Mormyl esters uses different building blocks to assemble the 1,4-dicarbonyl system and is complementary in many cases.10 Base-catalyzed addition of nitromefhane to a, J-unsaturated esters, followed by a variation of the Nef reaction, provides y-dialkoxy-substituted esters. The scope of this sequence has not yet been explored. Another approach involves cuprate additions to norephedrine-derived 2-alkenyloxazolidines this process allows small-scale synthesis of several p-formyl esters in optically active form (ee up to 95%).11... 

Moreover, one should mention that in spite of similar electronic structures, PBN and the isoquinoline nitrone (278) react in a different way. Under no circumstances does PBN give an oxidative methoxylation product, whereas nitrone (278) reacts readily to form a,a-dialkoxy-substituted nitroxyl radical (280) (517). Perhaps this difference might be due to the ability to form a complex with methanol in aldo-nitrones with -configuration. This seems favorable for a fast nucleophilic addition of methanol to the radical cation (RC), formed in the oxidation step. The a-methoxy nitrone (279), obtained in the initial methoxylation, has a lower oxidation potential than the initial aldo-nitrone (see Section 2.4). Its oxidation to the radical cation and subsequent reaction with methanol results in the formation of the a,a-dimethoxy-substituted nitroxyl radical (280) (Scheme 2.105). 

In order to quantify the transition metal ion concentration, Jones et al. [107] developed a highly sensitive fluorescent chemosensor in the form of dialkoxy-phenyleneethynylene-thiophene copolymers 68/69. The PAEs were functionalized on the thiophene unit with terpyridine (68), and included 2,2 -bipyridine (69) as a Lewis acid receptor. The terpyridine polymers [108] were found to respond quantitatively to transition metal ions at concentrations as low as 4x10 M (NP, Hg, Cr ", and Co " ). The additionally used bpy-PAE demonstrates that variation in the chelation at the receptor site is an important variable in tuning selectivity. The observed dynamic quenching mechanism, combined with the solubility of this material, provides the opportunity to extend these initial investigations to thin solid films for use in real-time monitoring applications. 

Shtamburg and coworkers have reported that A,A -dialkoxy-A,A -dicarboalkoxyhydra-zines (219) have lower barriers to amide isomerization and weaker anomeric interactions . They measured a barrier to amide isomerization of only 9.8 kcalmoD. Furthermore, benzylic methylenes in A-benzyloxy systems were isochronous down to at least —90°C. These results are in line with observations for the A,A -diacyl-A,A -dialkoxyhydrazines since, in the carboalkoxy systems, the nitrogen lone pairs are lowered in energy by the additional electron demand, thereby reducing both amide conjugation and anomeric overlap. 

Another important example is the addition of alkene oxides, say ethylene oxide, to compounds of the proton donor class such as amines, alcohols, water, and hydrazine to form monoalkoxy, dialkoxy, trialkoxy, etc., derivatives, some examples of which are shown below ... 

In the intense search for inhibitors of gastric acid secretion a new class of potent histamine H2-receptor antagonist was discovered. These 1,2,5-thiadiazole-l-oxides (27) were prepared by nucleophilic addition of primary amines to 3,4-dialkoxy-l,2,5-thiadiazole 1-oxide (25). Sequential addition of two different amines to positions C(3) and C(4), respectively, could be achieved via the 3-alkoxy-4-amino adduct (26) (Scheme 5) <82JMC207,82JMC210>. 

Dioxazolidines are produced by cyclization of A,A-dialkoxy- or A -alkoxy-A -chloroamines (Scheme 11) <93CRV725>. The synthetic potential of this method far surpasses that of the photochemical addition of nitrobenzene to alkenes <84CHEC-1(6)-914). 

Enyne ethers HC=CCH=CHOR are useful synthetic intermediates. They can be prepared by base-catalysed addition of alcohols to diacetylene. The required conditions are rather forcing and not very attractive for laboratory scale preparations. A much more convenient way to prepare the enyne ethers (in these cases more than 80 rel.% of the -isomer is obtained) consists in treatment of the easily accessible 1,4-dialkoxy-2-alkynes with two equivalents of alkali amide in liquid ammonia. The first step in this elimination is the (transient) formation of an "anion RO-fiH-C CCH OR, which eliminates ROH (143). The resulting cumulenic ether ROCH=C=C=CH2 is immediately converted into the metallaied enyne ether. 

Substituted 3,6-dialkoxy-2,5-dihydropyrazines are regioselectively metalated by strong alkyl-lithium bases, such as butyllithium, (l-methylpropyl)lithium, fcrf-butyllithium, or lithium diiso-propylamide, at the less substituted carbon atom (C5). Metalation proceeds at low temperatures (in general, below — 70 C) in THF as solvent. Electrophiles suitable for alkylation of the lithiated derivatives include alkyl iodides, bromides and chlorides, as well as alkyl methanesulfonates, 4-methylbenzenesulfonates and trifluoromethanesulfonates. The electrophile adds trans to the substituent at C2 in a highly stereoselective fashion, with typical diastereomeric excesses of greater than 90% (syn addition has been reported in only one case where a-methylphenyl alanine was used as chiral auxiliary and an alkyl trifluoromethanesulfonate as electrophile18).

X -Phosphorins as well as X -phosphorins have five characteristic bands between 1400 and 1600 cm . 1.1-Dialkoxy- and 1. l-diaryloxy-X -phosphorins have additional intense bands in the region 1180—1220 cm and at 1008 cm and 1040 cm , as well as a weak band at 1160cm which can be attributed to the P—0 vibration. In P—N compounds the band at 718 cm is probably due to the P—N vibration. With increasing P—N band strength it shifts to 785 cm ... 

In contrast to X -phosphorins, X -phosphorins can be protonated. The basicity is very much influenced by the nature of the substituents R and R at the phosphorus. 1.1-Dialkyl or 1.1-diaryl-X -phosphorins are even protonated by aqueous HCl the salts are deprotonated by aqueous NaOH. Strong acids in organic solvents, e. g. trifluoroacetic acid in hexane or benzene, (see p. 106), are required to proto-nate 1.1-dialkoxy-X -phosphorins. Addition of tert-butoxide deprotonates the salt. By studying the NMR spectra of 1. l-dimethoxy-2.4.6-tris-pentadeuterophenyl-X -phosphorin 185 in benzene solutions containing H and D-trifluoroacetic acid Stade could show that two different protonation products are formed in a ratio of 3 1. One product is the result of C—2 protonation 186 the other of C-4 protonation 187 (Fig. 38). Similar results were observed in the case of 1.1-bis-dimethylamino-2.4.6-triphenyl-X -phosphorin...
