Reduction and Coupling

Fig. 1. After dia2o coupling, oxidation leads tria2ene ring formation. Alkaline reduction and coupling lead to (9).

The aromatic nitro compounds make up another group of substances. These can also be formed directly on the TLC layer as a result of the frequently used VrrAU reaction [24]. They are detected - as shown in Fig. 21 - by reduction and coupling to azo dyes.

Over the past two decades, the use of solid-supported reagents, catalysts, and scavengers has revolutionized the way in which the modem synthetic chemist performs transformations such as oxidations, reductions, and coupling reactions [42-44]. Their growing application can be attributed to the ease of product... 

Reduction and coupling The title reagent is generated from hthium A,A-diiso-propylaminoborohydride on treatment with Me3SiCl at room temperature. It reduces esters and nitriles in the presence of LiBH4 (catalyst). 

The reduction and coupling of CO2 with H2 and diethylamine to give diethyl-formamide has not, in the past, been a facile reaction [55]. However, the reaction [Eq. (7)] has recently been found to proceed in 99% conversion in C02-expanded PPG-3500, PTHF-2900, and PMPS-710 but not in PEG-2000 dimethyl ether or PEG-1000 [54]. The product was extracted with hexane or, in the case of PMPS, with water. 

The catalytic alkylation of imines catalysed by titanium(iv) alkoxides in the presence of one equivalent of allylmagnesium bromide was described by Samuelson. A mechanistic study was carried out and the authors found that using a stoichiometric amount of titanium alkoxide the reduction and coupling of imines took place but using as little as 0.1 mol% of the catalyst, the allylation reaction occurs due to the large ratio of imine to titanium. 

In 1980, Kagan et al. [47] reported Sml2 as an electron-reducing agent in organic synthesis, which it is known to promote a wide range of reduction and coupling... 

Using a similar concept, Shibasaki and co-workers [93] also reported an asymmetric Mannich-type reaction of Schiff base 245 with alkyl imine 246 catalyzed by phase-transfer catalyst 239 for the total synthesis of (-t-)-nemonapride (249) (Scheme 17.42). In this synthesis, the key intermediate 247 was converted to pyrrolidine derivative 248 after two steps (>99% ee after recrystallization), which was easily transformed into (+)-nemonapride (249) via reduction and coupling reaction. 

To determine the effect of olefin geometry on reaction rate and stereoselectivity, we prepared the E) isomer E)-2A via Parikh-Doering oxidation [39] of (Z)-2J, concomitant isomerization to ( )-olelin, NaBH reduction, and coupling with (ib)-glycidyl benzyl ether (Scheme 2.1). The tandem reaction of ( )-2.4 under Mn02 oxidation conditions also provided 2.6a (dr >20 1, 87 %), suggesting that the double bond geometry appears to have no effect on the stereoselectivity and conversion of the reaction (Scheme 2.2).
