Titanium 3-diketonate

Titanium chelates are formed from tetraalkyl titanates or haUdes and bi- or polydentate ligands. One of the functional groups is usually alcohoHc or enoHc hydroxyl, which interchanges with an alkoxy group, RO, on titanium to Hberate ROH. If the second function is hydroxyl or carboxyl, it may react similarly. Diols and polyols, a-hydroxycarboxyflc acids and oxaUc acid are all examples of this type. P-Keto esters, P-diketones, and alkanolamines are also excellent chelating ligands for titanium. 

P-Diketone Chelates. P-Diketones, reacting as enols, readily form chelates with titanium alkoxides, Hberating in the process one mole of an alcohol. TYZOR AA [17927-72-9] (6) is the product mixture from TYZOR TPT and two moles of acetylacetone (acac) reacting in the enol form. The isopropyl alcohol is left in the product (87). The dotted bonds of stmcture (6) indicate electron... 

Strontium titanate (SrXi03) by reacting titanium isopropoxide and a strontium beta-diketonate complex at 600-850°C and 5 Xorr. 

Strontium titanate (SrTi03) has a large dielectric constant of 12, and a high refractive index with potential opto-electronic applications. It is deposited by MOCVD from titanium isopropoxide and a strontium beta-diketonate complex at 600-850°C and 5 Torr.t" " ... 

The Nef reaction can also be carried out with reducing agents. Aqueous titanium chloride reduces nitro compounds to imines, which are readily hydrolyzed to carbonyl compounds (Eq. 6.17).28 The Michael addition of nitroalkanes to enones followed by reaction with TiCl3 provides an excellent route to 1,4-diketones and hence to cyclopentenones. For example, cw-jasmone is readily obtained,28 as shown in Eq. 6.18. 

The addition of trimethylsilyl (TMS) cyanide to aldehydes produces TMS-protected cyanohydrins. In a recent investigation a titanium salen-type catalyst has been employed to catalyse trimethylsilylcyanide addition to benzaldehyde at ambient temperature1118]. Several other protocols have been published which also lead to optically active products. One of the more successful has been described by Abiko et al. employing a yttrium complex derived from the chiral 1,3-diketone (41)[119] as the catalyst, while Shibasaki has used BINOL, modified so as to incorporate Lewis base units adjacent to the phenol moieties, as the chiral complexing agent11201. 

An interesting reaction takes place when diketones with the keto groups in positions 1,4 or more remote are refluxed in dimethoxyethane with titanium dichloride prepared by reduction of titanium trichloride with a zinc-copper couple. By deoxygenation and intramolecular coupling, cycloalkenes with up to 22 members in the ring are obtained in yields of 50-95%. For example, 1-methyl-2-phenylcyclopentene was prepared in 70% yield from 1-phenyl-1,5-hexanedione, and 1,2-dimethylcyclohexadecene in 90% yield from 2,17-octa-decanedione [206, 210]. 

A similar type of acid-catalyzed condensation of aldehydes with 4-methylene-2-oxetanone (diketene), giving 4-oxo-6-methyl-l,3-dioxins, has been patented (73GEP2149650). However, other work has established that <5-hydroxy-/3-keto acids or unsaturated keto acids are formed as the principal products (equation 24) (78CPB3877, 78CL409). The latter reaction probably involves electrophilic attack of the protonated aldehyde on the nucleophilic exocyclic methylene carbon atom of the diketone. A closely related reaction of acetals with diketene, catalyzed by titanium tetrachloride, gives the corresponding <5-alkoxy-/3-keto esters (74CL1189).

The reactivity profiles of the boronate complexes are also diverse.43 For example, the lithium methyl-trialkylboronates (75) are inert, but the more reactive copper(I) methyltrialkylboronates (76) afford conjugate adducts with acrylonitrile and ethyl acrylate (Scheme 16).44 In contrast, the lithium alkynylboronates (77) are alkylated by powerful acceptors, such as alkylideneacetoacetates, alkylidene-malonates and a-nitroethylene, to afford the intermediate vinylboranes (78) to (80), which on oxidation (peracids) or protonolysis yield the corresponding ketones or alkenes, respectively (Scheme 17).45a Similarly, titanium tetrachloride-catalyzed alkynylboronate (77) additions to methyl vinyl ketone afford 1,5-diketones (81).4Sb Mechanistically, the alkynylboronate additions proceed by initial 3-attack of the electrophile and simultaneous alkyl migration from boron to the a-carbon. 

In contrast to titanium(IV) tetrachloride, which causes polymerization of a,3-unsaturated esters, aluminum triflate88 or aluminum-impregnated montmorillonite87b are excellent promoters of silyl ketene acetal additions to a,(3-unsaturated esters (Scheme 35). Similarly, the addition of silyl ketene acetals and enol silyl ethers to nitroalkenes, followed by Nef-type work-up, affords y-keto esters (216) and y-di-ketones (218), respectively (Scheme 35).89a>89b Mechanistically, the y-diketones (218) arise from Nef-type hydrolysis of an initial nitronate ester (217).89e 89d Mukaiyama reports that SbCls-Sn(OTf)2 catalyzes diastereoselective anti additions of silyl ketene acetals, silyl thioketene acetals and enol silyl ethers to a,(3-unsaturated thioesters (219).90... 

The synthesis of unsymmetrical 1,4-diketones results from the conjugate addition of the nitronate anion (as the acyl anion equivalent) to an a,fi-unsaturated ketone [Method (6)].l47a The intermediate nitroketone is converted into the diketone by reduction with titanium(m) chloride at pH 1, or by ozono-lysis of the nitronate anion147b (cf. Section 5.7.7, p. 599). 

Reduction of nitroketones with titanium(m) chloride at pH 1. The foregoing nitroketone may be converted into the diketone by means of the following general procedure. The nitroketone in solution in tetrahydrofuran (0.2 m) is treated with 4 equivalents of titanium(m) chloride (1) (20% aqueous hydrochloric acid solution) and stirred under nitrogen at room temperature for 24 hours. The reaction mixture is then poured into ether and the phases separated. The aqueous phase is extracted several times with ether the organic extracts are combined, washed with 5 per cent sodium hydrogen carbonate and with brine, and then dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate, concentrated and distilled. The yield of heptane-2,5-dione is 66 per cent p.m.r. spectrum (CC14, TMS) 8 1.00 (t, 3H), 2.10 (s, 3H), 2.60 (s, 4H) and 3.41 (q, 2H).

If the 1,5-diearbonyl compound is required, then an aqueous work-up with either acid or base cleaves the silicon-oxygen bond in the product but the value of silyl enol ethers is that they can undergo synthetically useful reactions other than just hydrolysis. Addition of the silyl enol ether derived from aeetophenone (PhCOMe) to a disubstituted enone promoted by titanium tetrachloride is very rapid and gives the diketone product in good yield even though a quaternary carbon atom is created in the conjugate addition, This is a typical example of this very powerful class of conjugate addition reactions. 

A direct synthesis of tetraarylpyrroles has been developed <07S3117>. Treatment of symmetrical 1,3-diketones 16 and imines 17 with TiCb/Sm produced 1,2,3,5-tetraarylpyrroles 18. This mechanism likely involves radicals formed by electron transfer from low valent titanium the latter is formed by the reduction of titanium tetrachloride by samarium.
