چکیده

Transformation of acetals into ethers by partial reduction using a samarium diiodide-Lewis acids-acetonitrile system is described. The reaction with aromatic acetals occurred in good yields in the presence of aluminum chloride (2 eq) whereas the corresponding aliphatic, vinylic, and alkynyl derivatives did not afford ethers under the same conditions. Beta-elimination to give an enol ether becomes predominant when aliphatic acetals that possess a hydrogen at the 2-position are treated with iodotrimethylsilane in the presence of SmI2 or SmI3.

A convenient pathway to Sm(II)-mediated chemistry in acetonitrile.

In this communication we show that the instability of samarium diiodide (SmI(2)) in acetonitrile is a consequence of ionization of the reductant in this solvent. Samarium triflate (Sm(OTf)(2)) is exceptionally stable in acetonitrile for periods over six months and can be used with appropriate additives to initiate a ketyl-olefin coupling reaction in high yield.

A novel reductive cyclization of arylmethylidenemalononitrile promoted by samarium diiodide

Carbon]carbon bond formation is the essence of organic synthesis and the reductive dimerization of carbonyl derivatives is a most valuable method for establishing carbon]carbon bonds. Since the time Kagan demonstrated a simple preparation of samarium diiodide from samarium metal and 1,2-diiodoethane, SmI2 has been developed as a mild, neutral and versatile single electron transfer reductant. It...

Synthesis of rigid p-terphenyl-linked carbohydrate mimetics

An approach to β-D-2-aminotalose- and β-D-2-aminoidose-configured carbohydrate mimetics bearing a phenyl substituent is described. Unnatural divalent rigid p-terphenyl-linked C-aryl glycosides with 2.0 nm dimension are available using Suzuki cross-couplings. The key compound, a p-bromophenyl-substituted 1,2-oxazine, was prepared by a stereoselective [3 + 3]-cyclization of a D-isoascorbic acid-d...

Dynamic ligand exchange in reactions of samarium diiodide.

Mechanistic studies show the importance of iodide displacement by additives that accelerate reactions of samarium diiodide. The key feature important for acceleration of reaction rate is the use of proton donors and other additives that have a high enough affinity for Sm(II) to displace iodide yet do not saturate the coordination sphere inhibiting substrate reduction.

Microwave-Assisted Efficient and Chemoselective Acetalization of Aldehydes with Trimethyl Orthoformate

Efficient and chemoselective protection of aldehydes to the corresponding dimethyl acetals have been carried out by mixture of trimethyl orthoformate and methanol in the presence of a catalytic amount of TMSCl or AlCl3 under microwave irradiation. Under these conditions, acetalization of ketones does not take place and they remain intact under reaction conditions. The results are compared with ...
