An unprecedented 1,4-cycloaddition (vs 3,6-cycloaddition) of 1,2,4,5-tetrazines is described with preformed or in situ generated aryl-conjugated enamines promoted by the solvent hydrogen bonding of hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) that is conducted under mild reaction conditions (0.1 M HFIP, 25 °C, 12 h). The reaction constitutes a formal [4 + 2] cycloaddition across the two nitrogen atoms (N1/N4) of the 1,2,4,5-tetrazine followed by a formal retro [4 + 2] cycloaddition loss of a nitrile and aromatization to generate a 1,2,4-triazine derivative. The factors that impact the remarkable change in the reaction mode, optimization of reaction parameters, the scope and simplification of its implementation through in situ enamine generation from aldehydes and ketones, the reaction scope for 3,6-bis(thiomethyl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine, a survey of participating 1,2,4,5-tetrazines, and key mechanistic insights into this reaction are detailed. Given its simplicity and breath, the study establishes a novel method for the simple and efficient one-step synthesis of 1,2,4-triazines under mild conditions from readily accessible starting materials. Whereas alternative protic solvents (e.g., MeOH vs HFIP) provide products of the conventional 3,6-cycoladdition, the enhanced hydrogen bonding capability of HFIP uniquely results in promotion of the unprecedented formal 1,4-cycloaddition. As such, the studies represent an example of not just an enhancement in the rate or efficiency of a heterocyclic azadiene cycloaddition by hydrogen bonding catalysis but also the first to alter the mode (N1/N4 vs C3/C6) of cycloaddition.

Anilines and ethyl vinyl ether can be used as precursors for a process that is the synthetic equivalent of the α-arylation of acetaldehyde enolate. The reaction manifests a high level of functional group compatibility, allowing the ready preparation of a number of synthetically valuable compounds.
Facile, environmentally friendly synthesis of benzaldehyde and phenylacetaldehyde analogs from readily available toluene derivatives
Dai, Liyan,Yu, Jie,Chen, Yingqi,Yu, Shichao
, p. 3078 - 3084 (2011/09/14)
A facile environmentally friendly synthesis of bezaldehyde and phenylacetaldehyde analogs from readily available toluene derivatives is described. Oxidation of the styrylamines by H2O2 H2O2 affords benzaldehydes in moderate yields, while the hydrolysis of styrylamines afforded phenylacetaldehyde analogs in good yields. Copyright
