Esters vinyl, reaction with lead

Palladium complexes also catalyze the carbonylation of halides. Aryl (see 13-13), vinylic, benzylic, and allylic halides (especially iodides) can be converted to carboxylic esters with CO, an alcohol or alkoxide, and a palladium complex. Similar reactivity was reported with vinyl triflates. Use of an amine instead of the alcohol or alkoxide leads to an amide. Reaction with an amine, AJBN, CO, and a tetraalkyltin catalyst also leads to an amide. Similar reaction with an alcohol, under Xe irradiation, leads to the ester. Benzylic and allylic halides were converted to carboxylic acids electrocatalytically, with CO and a cobalt imine complex. Vinylic halides were similarly converted with CO and nickel cyanide, under phase-transfer conditions. ... 

The vinyl triflate of Komfeld s ketone has been subjected to Heck reactions with methyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, and methyl 3-(Af-rerf-butoxycarbonyl-lV-methyl)amino-2-methylenepropionate leading to a formal synthesis of lysergic acid [259]. A similar Heck reaction between l-(phenylsulfonyl)indol-5-yl triflate and dehydroalanine methyl ester was described by this research group [260]. Chloropyrazines undergo Heck couplings with both indole and 1-tosylindole, and these reactions are discussed in the pyrazine Chapter [261], Rajeswaran and Srinivasan described an interesting arylation of bromomethyl indole 229 with arenes [262]. Subsequent desulfurization and hydrolysis furnishes 2-arylmethylindoles 230. Bis-indole 231 was also prepared in this study. 

Boronic esters have been used in a wide range of transformations. These useful reagents have been transformed into numerous functional groups and are essential reagents for several C-C bond-forming reactions. Transition metal-catalyzed hydroboration of olefins often leads to mixtures of branched and linear products. Several groups have reported asymmetric reductions of vinyl boronic esters [50-52] with chiral rhodium P,P complexes however, the first iridium-catalyzed reduction was reported by Paptchikhine et al (Scheme 10) [53]. 

A quinazolone moiety also provides the nucleus for a highly simplified leukotriene antagonist (compare this compound with verlukast (29-6), discussed earlier in this chapter). Condensation of the anthranilate ester (85-1) with formamide leads to the formation of the quinazolone (85-2). Reaction of the salt from the reaction of this product with a strong base with ethyl 3-bromoacrylate leads to vinylation on nitrogen by what is probably an addition-elimination sequence the product is largely the E isomer (85-3). Saponification then affords tiacrilast (85-4) [95]. 

The first report of resin capture in solution-phase chemical library synthesis involved the covalent capture of solution-phase Ugi reaction products onto a functionalized polystyrene resin.73 Excess reactants, reagents, and reagent byproducts were washed away from the resin-captured intermediates. Further manipulation and release afforded purified solution-phase products for screening. More recently the same group reported on resin capture as a technique for the preparation of tetrasubstituted olefin libraries.74 75 As illustrated in Scheme 5, m-vinyl di-boryl esters were reacted with aryl halides (R3ArX) in parallel Suzuki reactions, leading to solution-phase intermediates. Another Suzuki reaction, this time with the... 

Figure 12.20 demonstrates that Michael acceptors can also act as electrophiles towards enam-ines. Aqueous workup leads to the regeneration of the carbonyl group, and the Michael addition product C is obtained. An acrylic acid ester would react with the enamine A in complete analogy to the reaction of the acrylonitrile shown here the same holds true for the methyl vinyl ketone. 

In a recent pubhcation the nitrile (EWG = CN) variant [ 126] of this chemistry was performed in water by applying N,N-diethylaminopropylated sihca gel as heterogeneous catalyst [ 128]. Another variant of this reaction sequence, leading to chiral sulfinylated enones, has been developed by Llera [ 129] employing the enantiomerically pure geminal bis(sulfoxide) 208 (Scheme 54). This bis(sulfoxide) was prepared from (-)-p-toluenesulfinic acid menthyl ester [100], as described by Kunieda [130]. Later this procedure was improved to increase the yield from 35 to 91% [13,131]. Treatment of 208 with enolizable aldehydes or ketones, in the presence of piperidine as a base and thiophile, initiated a reaction cascade involving a condensation step (to 210), a proton shift to allylic sulfoxide 211, and a [2,3]-0-shift followed by a piperidine-mediated desulfuration delivering the alcohols 212 as isomeric mixtures. Oxidation of the latter compounds (one of the R = H) led to enantiomerically pure E-y-oxo vinyl sulfoxides 213. 

Characteristic of such dienes, a-keto-p,7-unsaturated esters such as (3 see also Table 3 and Table 5) exhibit good thermal reactivity toward simple vinyl ethers in [4 + 2] cycloaddition reactions that proceed with exclusive regiocontrol predominately through an erulo transition state. The endo selectivity increases as the reaction temperature is decreased and both the reaction rate and the endo selectivity increase as the reaction pressure is increased (Figure 3, Table 3). The substantial increase in the diastereoselectivity of the pressure-promoted [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of (3) with a cis 1,2-disub-stituted dienophile has been attributed to the additional differences in the volume of activation between the reaction paths leading to the endo and exo diastereomers due to the additional cis C-2 dienophile sub-... 

Scheme 9 demonstrates the further synthetic application of the thus obtained N,0-acetals. Substitution of the alkoxy or acyloxy group by nucleophiles like enol ethers, enol esters, enamines, other electron-rich olefins, CH-acidic compounds, electron-rich aromatics, isocyanides, trimethylsilyl cyanide, organometallics, vinyl and allyl silanes, hydroxy functions, or trialkylphosphites either catalyzed by Lewis acids or proton acids leads to the product of the amidoalkylation reaction (path a). In the presence of stereocenters as control elements, diasteroselective amidoalkylation reactions can be performed as shown in a large number of examples. On the other side, as Nyberg showed for the first time [196], elimination with formation of enecarbamates [208] and enamides [196,208,209] followed by reaction with electrophiles or nucleophiles (path b) also is possible. 

Formation of a cation radical of the diene may catalyze Diels-Alder reactions with certain dienophiles thus oxidation of substituted vinylindoles to the cation radical in the presence of a push-pull dienophile may form different heterocyclic compounds by the Diels-Alder reaction, for instance pyrido[l,2i7]indoles from vinylindoles and yS-enamino-esters [33]. Similarly, anodic oxidation in MeCN of certain oxazolidines in presence of vinyl ether leads to derivatives of oxazepines in a catalytic reaction in which the ring-opened radical cation of the oxazolidine adds to the vinyl ether and the radical cation of the resulting oxazepine oxidizes the oxazolidine [34].
