Hydrides nucleophilic substitution with

Some strategies used for the preparation of support-bound thiols are listed in Table 8.1. Oxidative thiolation of lithiated polystyrene has been used to prepare polymeric thiophenol (Entry 1, Table 8.1). Polystyrene functionalized with 2-mercaptoethyl groups has been prepared by radical addition of thioacetic acid to cross-linked vinyl-polystyrene followed by hydrolysis of the intermediate thiol ester (Entry 2, Table 8.1). A more controllable introduction of thiol groups, suitable also for the selective transformation of support-bound substrates, is based on nucleophilic substitution with thiourea or potassium thioacetate. The resulting isothiouronium salts and thiol acetates can be saponified, preferably under reductive conditions, to yield thiols (Table 8.1). Thiol acetates have been saponified on insoluble supports with mercaptoethanol [1], propylamine [2], lithium aluminum hydride [3], sodium or lithium borohydride, alcoholates, or hydrochloric acid (Table 8.1). 

The HDO and isomerization reactions were previously described as bimolecular nucleophilic substitutions with allylic migrations-the so-called SN2 mechanism (7). The first common step is the fixation of the hydride on the carbon sp of the substrate. The loss of the hydroxyl group of the alcohols could not be a simple dehydration -a preliminar elimination reaction- as the 3-butene-l-ol leads to neither isomerization nor hydrodehydroxyl at ion (6). The results observed with vinylic ethers confirm that only allylic oxygenated compounds are able to undergo easily isomerization and HDO reactions. Moreover, we can note that furan tetrahydro and furan do not react at all even at high temperature (200 C). 

Arenes usually undergo electrophilic substitution, and are inert to nucleophilic attack. However, nucleophile attack on arenes occurs by complex formation. Fast nucleophilic substitution with carbanions with pKa values >22 has been extensively studied [44]. The nucleophiles attack the coordinated benzene ring from the exo side, and the intermediate i/2-cvclohexadienyl anion complex 171 is generated. Three further transformations of this intermediate are possible. When Cr(0) is oxidized with iodine, decomplexation of 171 and elimination of hydride occur to give the substituted benzene 172. Protonation with strong acids, such as trifluoroacetic acid, followed by oxidation of Cr(0) gives rise to the substituted 1,3-cyclohexadiene 173. The 5,6-trans-disubstituted 1,3-cyclohexadiene 174 is formed by the reaction of an electrophile. 

In aprotic solvents, such as dichloromethane and THF, potassium boro-hydride [10], lithium borohydride [8b], lithium triethylborohydride [8a, 11], and diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBALH) [11] have been used instead of NaBH4. NaBH4 also reduces elemental selenium in alcohol or water to sodium hydrogen selenide or sodium diselenide (Na2Se2) depending on the stoichiometry of the reactants (Scheme 8) [12]. These anions are useful for the synthesis of selenides or diselenides, respectively, via nucleophilic substitution with various electrophiles. 

The net result is that Nu replaces Z—a nucleophilic substitution reaction. This reaction is often called nucleophilic acyl substitution to distinguish it from the nucleophilic substitution reactions at sp hybridized carbons discussed in Chapter 7. Nucleophilic substitution with two different nucleophiles—hydride (H ) and carbanions (R )— is discussed in Chapter 20. Other nucleophiles are examined in Chapter 22. 

Addition to coordinated arenes is a reliable method for achieving overall aromatic nucleophilic substitution with formal displacement of hydride [17]. This method illustrates the use of nucleophilic addition to an arenetricarbonyl-chromium for the synthesis of aromatic compounds with unusual substitution patterns. 

While both the ethyl and methyl esters of R and S mandelic acids are commercially available, these can also be easily prepared in high yield. Fischer esterification of 2 affords in 91% yield the ethyl ester 88, which is then protected as the THP ether 89. Lithium aluminum hydride reduction, conversion to the tosylate, and nucleophilic substitution with cesium fluoride affords 90 characterized by 85% ee (Scheme 19) [30]. 

When, under the assumption of conformational homogeneity, looking at the set of reactions possible with educts containing an equatorially oriented LG, hydride shift (MS [H], route f. Scheme 4) and elimination (E[H], route h. Scheme 4) cannot be found. However, besides the direct nucleophilic substitution with inversion of configuration (by the external nucleophile or the solvent, Sn2), all other sorts of participation, from vicinal positions, by antiperiplanarly oriented substituents - including each single ring atom of the pyranose - appear. These are in particular ... 

A perfluoroalkyl group activates fluorine atom in 2-fluoro-3-trifluoromethylfurans to nucleophilic substitution with a broad range of nucleophiles [102-105]. Huorine can be efficiently substituted by alkoxy or phenoxy groups, aliphatic or heterocyclic thiols and amines or reduced with lithium aluminium hydride. The C-nucleophiles like cyanide or malonate anion as well as phenylithium and phenylmagnesium bromide can also be involved into the reaction. 

The higjily water-soluble dienophiles 2.4f and2.4g have been synthesised as outlined in Scheme 2.5. Both compounds were prepared from p-(bromomethyl)benzaldehyde (2.8) which was synthesised by reducing p-(bromomethyl)benzonitrile (2.7) with diisobutyl aluminium hydride following a literature procedure2.4f was obtained in two steps by conversion of 2.8 to the corresponding sodium sulfonate (2.9), followed by an aldol reaction with 2-acetylpyridine. In the preparation of 2.4g the sequence of steps had to be reversed Here, the aldol condensation of 2.8 with 2-acetylpyridine was followed by nucleophilic substitution of the bromide of 2.10 by trimethylamine. Attempts to prepare 2.4f from 2.10 by treatment with sodium sulfite failed, due to decomposition of 2.10 under the conditions required for the substitution by sulfite anion. 

Nucleophilic substitution in cyclohexyl systems is quite slow and is often accompanied by extensive elimination. The stereochemistry of substitution has been determined with the use of a deuterium-labeled substrate (entry 6). In the example shown, the substitution process occurs with complete inversion of configuration. By NMR amdysis, it can be determined that there is about 15% of rearrangement by hydride shift accon any-ing solvolysis in acetic acid. This increases to 35% in formic acid and 75% in trifiuoroacetic acid. The extent of rearrangement increases with decreasing solvent... 

Many different nucleophiles—halide, hydride, cyanide, and hydroxide among others—react with arenediazonium salts, yielding many different kinds of substituted benzenes. The overall sequence of (1) nitration, (2) reduction, (3) diazotization, and (4) nucleophilic substitution is perhaps the single most versatile method of aromatic substitution. 

The reaction occurs by two sequential nucleophilic acyl substitutions, the first by a cysteine residue in the enzyme, with phosphate as leaving group, and the second by hydride donation fromNADH, with the cysteine residue as leaving group. 

Remarkably, ArTlXj compounds also suffer nucleophilic substitution on the carbon-thallium bond with hydride ion to regenerate the parent arom-... 

Ethenylcyclopropyl tosylates 131 and 2-cyclopropylideneethyl acetates 133, readily available from the cyclopropanone hemiacetals 130, undergo the re-gioselective Pd(0)-catalyzed nucleophilic substitution via the unsymmetrical 1,1-dimethylene-jr-allyl complexes. For example, reduction with sodium formate affords a useful route from 131 to the strained methylenecyclopropane derivatives 132. The regioselective attack of the hydride is caused by the sterically...
