Mesyl with phenyl

Trifluoromethyl thiirane is formed by the action of tris(diethylamino)-phosphineon l-chloromethyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyldisulfide [S2] (equation 73) Difluoromethyl phenyl selenide is prepared by treatment of lithium phenyl-selemde with chlorodifluoroniethane via a carbene mechanism [Si] (equation 44) Bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)diselenide is formed in the reaction of 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl mesylate with lithium diselenide [84] (equation 74). 

Trialkyl- or triarylallenyltin compounds can also be prepared by Sn2 displacement of propargylic mesylates with various stannylcopper reagents in THF (Eq. 9.82) [71]. This reaction is postulated to proceed by an anti Sn2 pathway based on the stereochemical relationship between the enantioenriched mesylate and the allenic product (Eq. 9.83). The allene obtained from the reaction of the mesylate of (R)-3-phenyl-l-propyn-3-ol with Ph3SnCu was assigned the (P) configuration from a consideration of the observed optical rotation and an application of Brewster s rules [71]. 

The reaction of a mesylate with indolylmagnesium iodide 566 gave indole 567, which was finally desilylated by careful treatment with aqueous HF to afford alcohol 568 with ee 70% (27% overall yield starting from 2-[/-butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy-l-phenyl-l-ethanol) (Scheme 115) <1996JOC984>. 

Prodncts of 2- and 4-snbstitntion of hydrogen are obtained by reaction of the sodium salt of imidazole with the phenyl pyrimidin-5-yl carbinol mesylate, with none of the product of direct substitution. Similar resnlts are obtained with the sodium salts of pyrrole and indole, but other nucleophiles, such as amines, give complex product mixtures. " ... 

The synthesis of l,3-oxazin-4-ones of type 464 is the first example of the formation of a C-O bond in the course of the Norrish-Yang reaction. Upon treatment with 1-hydroxy-l-phenyl-A -iodanyl mesylate, /3-keto amide 460 was converted to the corresponding a-mesyloxy-/3-keto amide 461 in excellent yield. On ultraviolet (UV) irradiation (A>300nm) of 461, 5-hydrogen transfer to the excited carbonyl group occurred and the diradical 462 thus formed underwent MsOH elimination to enolate diradical 463, cyclization of which resulted in formation of 3-methyl-6-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-277-l,3-oxazin-4-one 464 (Scheme 89) <2001S1258>.
