Insertion is favored by electron-donating groups adjacent to the C-H bond that undergoes insertion, and is disfavored by electron-withdrawing groups. Chiral dirhodium(II) carboxamidates have proven to have the greatest breadth of high selectivities, but other classes of catalysts are selective in specific cases. Although there are examples of iodonium ylides as reactants, diazo compounds are the reactants of choice for these reactions. Diazocarbonyl compounds, especially diazoacetates and diazoacetamides, have reactivities and selectivities that are most suitable for high product yields and high stereoselectivities. This reaction is optimally designed for the formation of five-membered ring compounds using diazoacetates and diazoacetamides and of four-membered ring products with constrained diazoacetamides. Access to lignan lactones, baclofen, deoxyxylolactone, and rolipram, among others, exemplify the efficiencies of this methodology relative to other synthetic approaches. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Keywords: \u0000 \u0000insertion; \u0000lactones; \u0000lactams; \u0000cycloalkanes; \u0000diazoesters; \u0000diazoketones; \u0000catalysts; \u0000rhodium; \u0000copper; \u0000metal carbene; \u0000enantioselective; \u0000experimental conditions","PeriodicalId":19539,"journal":{"name":"Organic Reactions","volume":"35 1","pages":"1-132"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88117352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These reactions are particularly useful for the preparation of sterically hindered alkenes and imines.

The corresponding 1,3,4-selenadiazolines thermally extrude both molecular nitrogen and atomic selenium directly affording alkenes. Alkenes can also be prepared by formal extrusions of molecular nitrogen plus sulfur dioxide or sulfur monoxide.

Tozer","doi":"10.1002/0471264180.OR077.02","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/0471264180.OR077.02","url":null,"abstract":"Deoxygenations of alcohols, i.e., processes that replace a hydroxyl group with hydrogen at a saturated carbon, find applications in both total synthesis and the systematic modifications of natural products. They may also be employed to introduce deuterium or tritium in a site-specific manner. Reductive methods that involve ionic or highly polarized reagents or intermediates can be limited in their applicability: for example, competing reaction pathways including cationic rearrangements and anionic eliminations may be encountered in sterically hindered systems with substrates bearing heteroatoms close to the center undergoing reduction. As evidenced by developments over the last few decades, methods that involve the generation and direct quenching via hydrogen atom abstraction of the derived, carbon-centered radical typically show the greatest tolerance for the presence of other functional groups and for variations in both the steric acid and the electronic environment in the vicinity of the center undergoing deoxygenation. Derivatization of the hydroxyl is a prerequisite, the determinant factors for efficient formation of the deoxygenated product lies in the ability of the combination of the substrate and reagents to induce homolysis of the C-O bond coupled with the induction of homolysis to rapidly reduce a free radical by hydrogen donation, thereby propagating an efficient chain process. A high-yielding way to realize this sequence was first described by Barton McCombie using the free-radical chain reaction of O-thioacyl derivatives of secondary alcohols with tri-n-butylstannane. This chapter provides a detailed description and comparison of the combinations of substrates and reagents that will bring about these processes and provides a summary and evaluation of alternative deoxygenation methods. Mechanistic and stereochemical issues set out the scope and limitations of these processes with respect to both the thioacylation and reduction steps and exemplify some applications to both total synthesis and the modification of natural products. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Keywords: \u0000 \u0000Barton-McCombie reaction; \u0000Deoxygenation; \u0000Thioacylation; \u0000Alcohols; \u0000Reduction; \u0000Tri-n-butylstannane; \u0000O-Thioacyl derivatives; \u0000Reagents; \u0000Mechanism; \u0000Method comparisons; \u0000Experimental procedures","PeriodicalId":19539,"journal":{"name":"Organic Reactions","volume":"1 1","pages":"161-432"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81549792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The incorporation of a heteroatom donor substituent such as OH, OR, NR2, or SR on the ring imparts enhanced reactivity. Hydroxycyclopropanes (cyclopropanols) in particular have been thoroughly studied due to their facile ring cleavage. Among several known methods, a new method for preparation of cyclopropanols involves dialkoxytitanacyclopropane-mediated cyclopropanation (the Kulinkovich cyclopropanation) of esters with Grignard reagent in the presence of titanium isopropoxide. The striking feature of this method is the facile formation of a three-membered ring from a simple Grignard reagent which acts as a 1,2-dicarbanion equivalent through a pivotal dialkoxytitana-cycloproapne intermediate. These reactions benefit from the availability of inexpensive reagents, ease of operation, and high selectivity for cis-dialkylcyclopropanols. This cyclopropanation reaction has since been extended to other carboxylic derivatives to provide convenient access to several heteroatom-substituted cyclopropanes. The objective of this chapter is to provide an updated, comprehensive coverage of the literature on the Kulinkovich cyclopropanation reaction and related processes.

Discussion focuses on the different types of directing groups that are viable. The outcome from directed dehydroxylation of all the major classes of alkenes, including cyclic and acyclic substrates and varied alkene substration patterns, is also addressed. The mechanism section outlines the different reactivity patterns that various ligands can impart onto the osmium oxides together with the importance of chosing a solvent that encourages hydrogen bonding. The influence that the directing group has on syn selectivity is also discussed, in both the context of its position in space and with respect to the alkane, and the relationship between the PKa of the acidic proton and syn selectivity. Osmium tetraoxide has established itself as the reagent of choice for the syn-dihydroxylation of olefins, primarily because of its inertness towards other functional groups and lack of over-oxidation products. Information on research in regard to dihydroxylation is given. Only a few other synthetic methods are known that accomplish the direct addition of a diol unit across an alkene while controlling the stereochemical course of the process.

The first approach is the most versatile in terms of range of the added functional groups and of the bonds that can be created in the construction of the pyrrole ring. This method is based on the utilization of precursors containing nitrogen nucleophiles and carbon-carbon triple bonds. The nitrogen nucleophile and alkyne moiety may be part of the same molecule or belong to two different molecules. Some of the most general cyclizations of indoles are summarized. Alkene-based cyclizations to give indoles are also summarized. Cyclization to indoles via arene vinylation has limited synthetic scope. Indoles can be prepared via cyclizations proceeding through N-arylation and N-vinylation reactions based on pioneering work.

This chapter discusses the various efforts to develop highly efficient and selective tools for the catalyzed formation of carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds. Among the latter, outstanding results have been obtained in the field of soft, non-organometallic nucleophiles. One of the major challenges is the alpha-arylation of soft carbon nucelophiles such as stabilized carbon enolates and related functional groups. Although alpha-carboxylic acids and keto derivatives are prevalent in natural products and are important in the building blocks of various drugs (e.g., anti-inflammatory drugs, anesthetics, etc.), catalytic alpha-arylation of stabilized carbon enolates has only been recently described. Details on early research is given. More recent developments of this method concern not only the use of a large number of related nucleophiles, but also activated benzylic and vinylogous gamma-arylations. Current efforts are mainly devoted to multiple arylation sequences, intramolecular alpha-arylations, and enantioselective alpha-arylation.
