t-BuOK promoted stereoselective isomerization of allyl aryl ethers

The t-BuOK promoted stereoselective isomerization of allyl aryl ethers has been developed. The reactions proceeded well in methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), providing the corresponding products in good to excellent yields (83–96percent). Most of the substra

Thermodynamic, spectroscopic, and density functional theory studies of allyl aryl and prop-1-enyl aryl ethers. Part 1. Thermodynamic data of isomerization

A chemical equilibration study of the relative thermodynamic stabilities of seventy isomeric allyl aryl ethers (a) and (Z)-prop-1-enyl aryl ethers (b) in DMSO solution has been carried out. From the variation of the equilibrium constant with temperature the Gibbs energies, enthalpies, and entropies of isomerization at 298.15 K have been evaluated. Because of their low enthalpies, the (Z)-prop-1-enyl aryl ethers are strongly favored at equilibrium, the Gibbs energies of the a→b isomerization ranging from -12 to -23 kJ mol-1. The entropy contribution is negligible in most reactions, but occasionally small positive values less than +10 J K-1 mol-1 of the entropy of isomerization are found. The equilibration studies were also extended to involve two pairs of related isomeric ethers with a Me substituent on C(2) of the olefinic bond. The Me substituent was found to increase the relative thermodynamic stability of the allylic ethers by ca. 3.4 kJ mol-1.
