Propargyl bromide , reaction

Ojj 1.5323, prepared from phenol, KOH in ethanol and propargyl bromide) was added and the mixture was heated at 60°C for 15 min. It was then poured into 200 ml of ice-water and the reaction products were extracted with diethyl ether. The ethereal extracts were washed with saturated NH Cl solution, dried over magnesium sulfate and then concentrated in a water-pump vacuum. There remained 9.5 g of 3 1 mixture... 

In the first method a secondary acetylenic bromide is warmed in THF with an equivalent amount of copper(I) cyanide. We found that a small amount of anhydrous lithium bromide is necessary to effect solubilization of the copper cyanide. Primary acetylenic bromides, RCECCH Br, under these conditions afford mainly the acetylenic nitriles, RCsCCHjCsN (see Chapter VIII). The aqueous procedure for the allenic nitriles is more attractive, in our opinion, because only a catalytic amount of copper cyanide is required the reaction of the acetylenic bromide with the KClV.CuCN complex is faster than the reaction with KCN. Excellent yields of allenic nitriles can be obtained if the potassium cyanide is added at a moderate rate during the reaction. Excess of KCN has to be avoided, as it causes resinifi-cation of the allenic nitrile. In the case of propargyl bromide 1,1-substitution may also occur, but the propargyl cyanide immediately isomerizes under the influence of the potassium cyanide. 

When perfluoroheptylcopper reacted with propargyl bromide, a violent reaction occurred, and less than 10% of the expected allene was obtained [226] However, when propargyl chlorides or tosylates were used as substrates, the expected allenes were obtained m good yields [227] (equation 156)... 

Brown et al. were not able to prepare 3-(prop-2-ynyl)indole [i.e., 3-propargylindole (49)] by the Grignard reaction however, Williamson and later Zenitz readily obtained 49 in satisfactory yield by the action of propargyl bromide on indole magnesium bromide in anisole. 

In mosl allylation reactions, only a catalytic amount of CuCN-2LiCl is required [41]. Use of die chiral ferrocenylamine 104 as a catalyst makes enables asymmetric allylation of diorganozinc reagents to be effected witli allylic chlorides iScbeme 2.3G) [78]. Related electropb des such as propargylic bromides [79] and unsaturated epoxides [80] also undergo Su2 -substitution reactions iScbeme 2.37). 

Reaction (62) reports the cyclization of a thermally instable propargyl bromide cobalt complex mediated by Ph2SiH2 at room temperature and Et3B/02 as the... 

Another cyclisation involving 4-amino-6-methyl-3-thioxo-l,2,4-tiiazin-5-one 82 is the reaction with propargyl bromide followed by palladium(II) catalysis to yield a [1,2,4] triazino[3,4-f ][l,3,4]thiadiazine 83, or with phenacyl bromide to give 84 <96MI03 96CA(125)195597 96MI04 96CA(125)247767 >. 

Little is known about the tolerance of 1 with unsaturated (poly)halogen compounds. Hydrozirconation of chloroalkenes can lead to competitive cycUzation, and simple reduction of both C=C and C-Cl bonds [98, 222], However addition of 1 to an alkenyl- or propargyl bromide led to the expected product as the sole product of the reaction in excellent yield (Scheme 8-30) [134, 223]. 

Reaction with Propargyl Halides. The indium-mediated coupling of propargyl bromide with a variety of imines and imine oxides afforded homo-propargylamine derivatives in aqueous media under mild conditions.78 Propargylation of glyoxylic oxime ether in the presence of a catalytic amount of palladium(O) complex and indium(I) iodide in aqueous media was also studied (Eq.11.47).79... 

It is extremely shock-sensitive, a 4.0 kg cm shock causing detonation in 50% of test runs (cf. 3.5 kg cm for propargyl bromide 2.0 kg cm for glyceryl nitrate). The intermediate bis-chlorosulfite involved in the preparation needs low temperatures to avoid vigorous decomposition. The corresponding diiodo derivative was expected to be similarly hazardous [1], and this has been confirmed [2]. Improvements in preparative techniques (use of dichloromethane solvent at —30°C) to avoid violent reaction have also been described [3], An attempt to distill the compound (b.p. 55-58°C/0.6 mbar, equivalent to about 230°C/l bar) at atmospheric pressure from a heating mantle led to a violent explosion [4], The compound involved was erroneously given as l,6-dichloro-2,4-hexadiene [5],... 

Another recent development in the field of palladium-catalyzed reactions with alkynes is a novel multicomponent approach devised by the Lee group. Starting from a-bromovinyl arenes and propargyl bromides, the assembly ofeight-membered car-bocycles can be realized via a cross-coupling/[4+4] cycloaddition reaction. The authors also presented the combination of a cross-coupling and homo [4+2], hetero [4+2], hetero [4+4] or [4+4+1] annulation leading to various cyclic products [147]. 

Similar reactions occur with all aliphatic halides and the rates of substitution are related to the degree of ionic character of the carbon-halogen bond. For preparation purposes, trityl bromide or propargyl bromide are more convenient than allyl bromide. The compounds obtained are listed in Table XI. They were obtained pure and characterized fully. Zr (allyl) 3Br and Zr(allyl)2Br2 are sufficiently soluble in toluene for polymerizations to be initially homogeneous. Their relative reactivities are listed in Table XI. In all cases hydrogen was used to reduce the molecular weight of the polymer formed. In this respect the polymer derived from Zr (allyl )3Br was more readily modified than that from Zr (allyl) 4, but in order to avoid... 

Also studied was the effect of ether, which behaves as a retarder, on the polymerization. The retardation is most marked with the di- and trihalides and least with the monohalide and Zr (allyl) 4. In fact if large amounts of ether are present from the preparation, Zr(allyl)2Br2 shows hardly any activity at all. To avoid any possibility of contamination by ether, the halides in Table XI were prepared from pure ether-free Zr(allyl)4 in toluene by reaction with propargyl bromide. 

Diterpenoids related to lambertianic acid were prepared by intramolecular cyclization of either an alkene or an alkyne with a furan ring <2005RJ01145>. On heating amine 101 with allyl bromide, the intermediate ammonium ion 102 was formed which then underwent [4+2] cycloadditions in situ to give the spiroazonium bromides 103 and 104 (Scheme 13). These isomers arose from either endo- or co-transition states. The analogous reaction was also carried out with the same amine 101 and propargyl bromide. The products 105 and 106 contain an additional double bond and were isolated in 58% yield. The product ratios of 103 104 and 105 106 were not presented. 

Alkylation of 1,2,3-triazole with Ar-(2-bromocthyl)phthalimidc in the presence of Cs2C03 followed by cleavage of the phthalyl moiety with hydrazine provides l-(2-aminoethyl)-l,2,3-triazole 94 in 51% yield <2003JME1116>. A reaction of 4-nitro-l,2,3-triazole with propargyl bromide in the presence of KOH gives a mixture of isomeric 1-propargyl-l,2,3-triazoles 95 and 96 in the equimolar ratio <2003RJ01792>. However, in acidic media, when N-l... 

Hydroxyazetidin-2-ones can be oxidised efficiently to azetidine-2,3-diones by P205 in DMSO <00JPR585>, and then the 3-carbonyl group can be alkylated stereoselectively by application of the Baylis-Hillman reaction <99TL7537> or by use of substituted propargyl bromides to provide densely functionalized 3-hydroxy-P-lactams . 

The use of allylindium reagent, generated in situ, makes it possible to introduce the allyl group into C-aromatic aldonitrones, in dimethylformamide DMF-H2O at room temperature (675). Under similar conditions the indium-catalyzed reaction of propargyl bromide with nitrones leads to the corresponding homoalkynyl hydroxylamines (Scheme 2.191) (676). 

R1 to R3 with yields ranging from 20% to 90%. For the reaction of acetophenone, allyl bromide can be replaced with propargyl bromide, benzyl bromide, or an a-bromoester, affording the corresponding tertiary alcohols in 86%, 86%, and 66% yields, respectively. 

The formation of an allenyl ketone as the sole product can be achieved by using an excess (2 equiv.) of propargyl bromide (entries 3—6, Table 5.9). Use of an increased amount (3 equiv.) of the acylzirconocene chloride in the reaction with propargyl bromide and/or tosylate yields a significant amount of a 1,4-dicarbonyl compound derived from Michael-type addition of the acylzirconocene chloride to the initially formed allenyl ketone (entry 2, Table 5.9). The Michael-type addition of acylzirconocene chlorides to allenyl ketones under Cu(I)-catalyzed conditions has been confirmed by an independent experiment (Scheme 5.31). 

The basic hydrolysis of the 3-oxoperhydropyrrolo[l,2-c]oxazole 302 with KOH in ethanol followed by reaction with propargyl bromide 303 in presence of Hilnig s base in THF produced the derivative 304. This compound was further converted in a few steps to the natural product allopumiliotoxin 267A, 305 (Scheme 43) <1999JA6098, 2000JA6950>.
