Substitution ipso

Unexpected cine substitution to afford 749. rather than ipso substitution, was observed in the reaction of the vinylstannane 748 derived from camphor with phenyl bromide[616]. 

Interesting results have been obtained in intramolecular acylation reactions involving pyrrole and thiophene derivatives. A muscone synthesis involves selective intramolecular acylation at a vacant a-position (Scheme 18) (80JOC1906). In attempts to prepare 5,5-fused systems via intramolecular acylation reactions on to a jS-position of a thiophene or a pyrrole, in some cases ipso substitution occurs with the result that rearranged products are formed (Scheme 19) (82TH30200).

The general mechanism for electrophilic substitution suggests that groups other than hydrogen could be displaced, provided the electrophile attacked at the substituted carbon. Substitution at a site already having a substituent is called ipso substitution and has been observed in a number of circumstances. The ease of removal of a substituent depends on its ability to accommodate a positive charge. This fector determines whether the newly attached electrophile or the substituent is eliminated from the [Pg.588]

The silyl group directs electrophiles to the substituted position. That is, it is an ipso-directing group. Because of the polarity of the carbon-silicon bond, the substituted position is relatively electron-rich. The ability of silicon substituents to stabilize carboca-tion character at )9-carbon atoms (see Section 6.10, p. 393) also promotes ipso substitution. The silicon substituent is easily removed from the c-complex by reaction with a nucleophile. The desilylation step probably occurs through a pentavalent silicon species ... 

Ipso substitution, in which the electrophile attacks a position already carrying a substituent, is relatively rare in electrophilic aromatic substitution and was not explicitly covered in Section 10.2 in the discussion of substituent effects on reactivity and selectivity Using qualitative MO cOTicepts, discuss the effect of the following types of substituents on the energy of the transition state for ipso substitution. 

According to this analysis, which types of groups will most favor ipso substitution Can you cite any experimental evidence to support this conclusion ... 

Mildly activated aromatics such as 4-fluorotoluene undergo ipso substitution at the site of activation Diastereomeric (E/Zj 1,4-adducts (81%) and 1,2-adducts (8%) of nitromum acetate are formed The E and Z 1,4-adducts are isolated in 4 and 32% yields, respectively [24] (equation 19)... 

Sulfonation of the aromatic ring of l, 2, 2 -trifluorostyrene below 0 C does not give satisfactory yields with chlorosulfonic acid or a sulfur trioxide-dioxane complex Tar forms on heating In contrast, under similar conditions ipso substitution IS facile at the position of a trialkylsilyl or -stannyl group Thus, 4-trimethyl-silyl-T 2, 2 D-trifluorostyrene affords the corresponding trimethylsilyl sulfonate [20] (equation 9)... 

A radical carboxyarylation approach was introduced as the key step in the total synthesis of several biologically important natural products (Scheme 27). Treatment of thiocarbonate derivatives 112 (R = Me or TBS) with 1.1 equiv of (TMS)3SiH in refluxing benzene and in the presence of AIBN (0.4 equiv added over 6h) as radical initiator, produced compound 113 in 44% yield. This remarkable transformation resulted from a radical cascade, involving (TMSlsSi radical addition to a thiocarbonyl function (112 114), 5-era cyclization (114->115) and intramolecular 1,5-ipso substitution (115 116) with the final ejection of (TMSlsSiS radical. 

The fate of aromatic bromine compounds such as brominated dibenzodioxins occurring on fly ash of municipal waste incinerators has been deduced from appropriate laboratory experiments. Stereoselective, first order ipso-substitution of bromine by chlorine is observed. 

In addition to the radical ipso-substitution of indolyl sulfones producing stannanes described earlier <96T11329>, Caddick has also reported an approach to fused [l,2-a]indoles based on the intramolecular cyclization of alkyl radicals. Thus, treatment of 112 with BuaSnH leads to the fused ring derivatives 113 (n = 1-4) <96JCS(P1)675>. 

Although there are some reactions that use complex 76 stoichiometrically [50-58], it was not until 1979 that Roustan et al. developed the first catalytic application of complex 76-Na (Scheme 16) [59, 60]. In his publication, he could show that catalytic amounts of complex 76-Na react with an allylic chloride or acetate to form an allyl-iron-complex, which, in a second step, is substituted with a malonate to yield 77. Most importantly, they observed a preference for the ipso-substitution-product 77a, that is, the new C-Nu-bond was formed preferentially at the carbon atom that was substituted with the leaving group before. 

Subsequently, the scope of the reaction was extended to N-nucleophiles 82. Because the inherent basicity of the substitution products 83 imposed some problems concerning catalyst decomposition, the addition of catalytic amoimts of piperidine hydrochloride (pip-HCl) proved to be necessary. Under optimized reaction conditions different aromatic amines 82 were allylated with almost exclusive regioselectivites in favor of the ipso substitution products 83 (eq. 1 in Scheme 20) [64]. 

Some particular features should be mentioned. Instead of Michael additions, a-nitroolefins are reported to yield allyl sulfones under Pd catalysis (equation 21). Halogenated acceptor-olefins can substitute halogen P to the acceptor by ipso-substitution with sulfinate (equation 22 , equation 23 ) or can lose halogen a to the acceptor in the course of a secondary elimination occurring P to the introduced sulfonyl groups (equation 24). On the other hand, the use of hydrated sodium sulfinates can lead to cleavage at the C=C double bond (equation 25). 

When arenesulfonyl radicals are generated in benzene the only reported products are those of disproportionation (vide supra). However, Camaggj and eoworkers have found that arenesulfonyl radicals in halobenzene replace the halogen atom at 150-190 °C, the relative reactivities being for Cl Br I, 1 5.9 18.6. These authors proposed that the reaction proceeds via a reversible ipso-substitution.
