Thioalkylation of Enolates, II. α-Thioalkylation of Zinc Enolates to α,α-Disubstituted Ketones
Groth, Ulrich,Huhn, Thomas,Richter, Norbert
, p. 49 - 54 (2007/10/02)
An α-alkylation of the 2-methylcycloalkanones 1 and 4 at the higher substituted carbon can be achieved by thioalkylation of the corresponding zinc enolates with the α-chlorosulfides 3.The desulfurization can be carried out with either Raney nickel or lithium in diethylamine for compounds which contain double or triple bonds. Key Words: Zinc enolates, thioalkylation of / Ketones, α,α-disubstituted / Desulfurization
Diastereoselectivity in the Diels-Alder Reactions of Thioaldehydes
Vedejs, E.,Stults, J. S.,Wilde, R. G.
, p. 5452 - 5460 (2007/10/02)
The Diels-Alder reaction of thioaldehydes with cyclopentadiene occurs with a preference for the endo isomer.The highest selectivity is observed for thioaldehydes RCHS where R is a bulky group such as tert-butyl or isopropyl.Thioaldehydes having α-alkoxy, acetoxy, or siloxy substituents also react with useful endo selectivity.Secondary orbital overlap is a small factor in these reactions since α-oxo thioaldehydes react with relatively low endo selectivity.Steric effects are primarily responsible for the endo preferences observed.The Diels-Alder reactions of chiral α-oxygen substituted thioaldehydes also occur with useful thioformyl face selectivity.A Cornforth transition state 5 is most likely for the selectivity observed for α-alkoxy or acetoxy thioaldehydes, but the α-hydroxy analogue 23 reacts with the opposite facial preference.The highest face selectivity is obtained with the acetonide of thioglyceraldehyde, generated by photolysis of the phenacyl sulfide 15b.
α-Alkylation and α-alkylidenation of carbonyl compounds: Lewis acid-promoted phenylthioalkylation of o-silylated enolates
Paterson, Ian,Fleming, Ian
, p. 2179 - 2182 (2007/10/11)
The O-silylated enolates of ketones, aldehydes, esters, and lactones can be phenylthioalkylated in the presence of Lewis acids; reductive or oxidative sulphur-removal gives the regiospecifically α-alkylated or alkylidenated carbonyl compounds.
