Titanium(IV) isopropoxide and ethylmagnesium bromide catalyzed reaction of 2-alkynylamines with Et2Zn, followed by deuterolysis/hydrolysis and iodinolysis, affords substituted (Z)-pent-2-en-2,5-d
2-1-amines, (Z)-pent-2-en-1-amines (65–88%), and substituted (Z)-2,5-diiodopent-2-en-1-amines (55–63%). It is suggested that the reaction proceeds through the formation of cyclic organotitanium derivatives. The reaction between 1-alkynylphosphines and Et2Zn in the presence of catalytic amounts of Ti(O-iPr)4 and EtMgBr leads to trisubstituted 1-alkenylphosphine oxides with high regioselectivity and stereoselectivity.
The NbCl5–EtMgBr-catalyzed reaction of N,N-disubstituted 2-alkynylamines with Et2Zn followed by hydrolysis or deuterolysis affords (2Z)-alkenylamines (reduction products of alkyne) in high yields.
The EtMgBr and Ti(O-iPr)4-catalyzed ethylzincation of 1-alkynylphosphine sulfides with Et2Zn in diethyl ether followed by hydrolysis and deuterolysis affords corresponding β,β-disubstituted 1-alkenylphosphine sulfides with high yield. The EtMgBr and Ti(O-iPr)4-catalyzed reaction of 2-alkynylamines, 1-alkynylphosphines, and 1-alkenylphosphine sulfides with Et2Zn in various solvents was studied. It has been found that the reaction of 2-alkynylamines and 1-alkynylphosphines in methylene chloride, hexane, toluene, benzene, and anisole leads to the selective formation of 2-alkenylamines and 1-alkenylphosphine oxides after oxidation with H2O2.
The reaction of alkyl-and aryl-substituted carboxylic acids with primary and secondary amines under the action of 0.2 equiv. TaCl 5 leads to selective formation of carboxylic acid amides of various structures. TaCl 5 -catalyzed formation of amides was demonstrated to proceed equally selectively both in toluene and methylene chloride, hexane, diethyl ether and 1,4-dioxane solutions.
The reduction of N,N-disubstituted 2-alkynylamines and substituted 3-alkynylols using the NbCl5–Mg reagent system affords the corresponding dideuterated (2Z)-alkenylamine and (3Z)-alkenylol derivatives in high yields in a regio- and stereoselective manner through the deuterolysis (or hydrolysis). The reaction of substituted propargylamines and homopropargylic alcohols with the in situ generated low-valent niobium complex (based on the reaction of NbCl5 with magnesium metal) is an efficient tool for the synthesis of allylamines and homoallylic alcohols bearing a 1,2-disubstituted double bond. It was found that the well-known approach for the reduction of alkynes based on the use of the TaCl5-Mg reagent system does not work for 2-alkynylamines and 3-alkynylols. Thus, this article reveals a difference in the behavior of two reagent systems—NbCl5-Mg and TaCl5-Mg, in relation to oxygen- and nitrogen-containing alkynes. A regio- and stereoselective method was developed for the synthesis of nitrogen-containing E-β-chlorovinyl sulfides based on the reaction of 2-alkynylamines with three equivalents of methanesulfonyl chloride in the presence of stoichiometric amounts of niobium(V) chloride and magnesium metal in toluene.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
