Iodo carbonates

For comparison, fluorous-phase-soluble Pd complexes are only 74-98% selective towards the trans product [168-170]. The isolated yields of the product approached 70% when a threefold excess of olefin to iodobenzene was used (Table 3) however, the percent yield decreased with the use of bromobenzene as expected since activation of bromine-carbon bonds is less favorable than iodo-carbon bonds. It was also possible to catalyze the reaction in the absence of additional triethylamine base (Table 3). In this case, the tertiary amines of the den-drimer most likely act as the base. The catalysts, in general, were fully recover-... 

Cyclic iodo carbonates. AUylic and homoallylic alcohols are converted regio-and stereoselectively into five- and six-membered cyclic iodo carbonates, respectively, by carboxylation of the alkoxide followed by reaction with iodine. These products can be converted into cw-1,2- or 1,3-diols as illustrated.2... 

Since in terms of leaving group ability in SN2 reactions I > Br > Cl, a-iodoalkyl alkyl carbonates are the reagents of choice for the chemical modification of either carboxylic acid or phenolic functions. However, these a-iodo carbonates exhibit severe instability (Ref. 78) and are generally prepared in-situ or just before use (Ref. 79,80, 81). 

Boron Reagents. lodination of 3,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)thiophene followed by a Suzuki phenylation gives the monophenylated product 3-phenyl-4-trimethylsilylthiophene 45 (Scheme 23). After another ipso-iodination using iodine and silver trifluoroactetate and Suzuki coupling at the iodo carbon, 3,4-diarylated thiophenes are produced.The same reactions have been effected in furans. ... 

Three closely related reports have appeared on the stereoselective functionalization of allylic and homoallylic alcohols via iodo-carbonates (38) (Scheme 25). In an extension of earlier work (6,171), carboxylation-halogenation of allylic and homoallylic alcohols has been used as a route to triols (39). Homoallylic t-butyl carbonates (40) have also been found to undergo halogenation to afford (38b) in acetonitrile (to capture the t-butyl cation) subsequent conversions lead to diols (41) or triol monoethers (42). The iodination of homoallylic carbamates (43) also leads to (38b), and hence to diols (41). In all of these methods, the carbonates (38b) from homoallylic alcohols are formed with a preferred, 3-syn arrangement of the oxygen atoms. 

A good 3ueld of 5-iodo-2-aminotoluene may be obtained by intimately mixing o-toluidine hydrochloride, iodine and calcium carbonate, and then adding water to the mixture. The liberated hydriodic acid reacts at once with the Calcium carbonate and the lij driodide of the base is not formed. 

Triturate 20 g. of dry o-toluidine hydrochloride and 35 5 g. of powdered iodine in a mortar and then grind in 17 -5 g. of precipitated calcium carbonate. Transfer the mixture to a conical flask, and add 100 ml. of distilled water with vigorous shaking of the flask. Allow the mixture to stand for 45 minutes with occasional agitation, then heat gradually to 60-70° for 5 minutes, and cool. Transfer the contents of the flask to a separatory funnel, extract the base with three 80 ml. portions of ether, diy the extract with anhydrous calcium chloride or magnesium sulphate, and remove the excess of solvent. The crude 5-iodo-2-aminotoluene separates in dark crystals. The yield is 32 g. Recrystallise from 50 per cent, alcohol nearly white crystals, m.p. 87°, are obtained. 

Vinyl acetate reacts with the alkenyl triflate 65 at the /3-carbon to give the 1-acetoxy-1,3-diene 66[68]. However, the reaction of vinyl acetate with 5-iodo-pyrimidine affords 5-vinylpyrimidine with elimination of the acetoxy group[69]. Also stilbene (67) was obtained by the reaction of an excess of vinyl acetate with iodobenzene when interlamellar montmorillonite ethylsilyl-diphenylphosphine (L) palladium chloride was used as an active catalyst[70]. Commonly used PdCl2(Ph3P)2 does not give stilbene. 

Patents on the catbonylation of methyl chlotide [74-87-3] using carbon monoxide [630-08-0] in the presence of rhodium, palladium, and tidium complexes, iodo compounds, and phosphonium iodides or phosphine oxides have been obtained (26). In one example the reaction was conducted for 35... 

Eig. 7. CycHc voltammograms for the reduction of 1.0 mAf [2,2 -ethylene-bis(nitrilomethyHdyne)diphenolato]nickel(II) in dimethyl formamide at a glassy carbon electrode, in A, the absence, and B and C the presence of 2.0 and 5.0 mAf 6-iodo-l-phenyl-l-hexyne, respectively (14). 

In some instances a carbon-carbon bond can be formed with C-nucleophiles. For example, 3-carboxamido-6-methylpyridazine is produced from 3-iodo-6-methylpyridazine by treatment with potassium cyanide in aqueous ethanol and l,3-dimethyl-6-oxo-l,6-dihydro-pyridazine-4-carboxylic acid from 4-chloro-l,3-dimethylpyridazin-6-(lH)-one by reaction with a mixture of cuprous chloride and potassium cyanide. Chloro-substituted pyridazines react with Grignard reagents. For example, 3,4,6-trichloropyridazine reacts with f-butyl-magnesium chloride to give 4-t-butyl-3,5,6-trichloro-l,4-dihydropyridazine (120) and 4,5-di-t-butyl-3,6-dichloro-l,4-dihydropyridazine (121) and both are converted into 4-t-butyl-3,6-dichloropyridazine (122 Scheme 38). 

Substitutive nomenclature of alkyl halides treats the halogen as a halo—(fluoro-, chloro-, bromo-, or iodo-) substituent on an alkane chain. The carbon chain is numbered in the direction that gives the substituted carbon the lower number. 

Perhaps the earliest report of the replacement of a sulfonate ester attached to a secondary carbon atom in a sugar derivative was that of Helferich (53). Under quite drastic conditions (sodium iodide in acetone, 105°C., 72 hours, sealed system) the 4-mesylate derivative 9 was converted into a crystalline 4-deoxy-4-iodo sugar derivative 10 in 46% yield. Although the position of the iodine atom was established, the configuration at C-4 was not known. 

It will be recalled that lactone-derived enol triflate 102 was expected to serve as a substrate for a Murai coupling37 with the mixed cuprate reagent derived from iodo ortho ester 103 (see Scheme 17c). If successful, this C-C bond forming process would accomplish the introduction of the remaining carbon atoms needed for the annulation of the seven-membered D-ring lactone. 

Bromotrithiatriazepine 8 can also be obtained from the carboxylic acid 6 in 52 % yield by a modified Hunsdiecker reaction involving irradiation of a mixture of the acid, bromine, mer-cury(II) oxide and carbon tetrachloride. The iodo derivative is formed when iodine is employed418... 

Introduction of an iodine to C-2 of indole can be accomplished using lithium derivatives. Since direct iodination tends to give mixtures it is essential to activate the 2-position at the expense of the inherently more reactive 3-position. This has been done by lithiating 1-f-butoxycarbonylin-doles (25) and then converting them into iodo derivatives before deprotection (85JHC505) (Scheme 19). Alternatively carbon dioxide can be used... 

The procedure described here is a modification of one involving the thermal fragmentation of 1-adamantyl hypoiodite and cycliza-tion of the resulting iodo ketone/ By means of this procedure, 4-protoadamantanone is obtained from 1-adamantanol with consistent yields in the range of 71 to 82% and a purity greater than 98%. This method is also applicable to the preparation of other polycyclic ketones from the related bridgehead alcohols with a-bridges of zero, one, or two carbon atoms (see Table I).
