A new approach to polymeric supports useful for the immobilization of aldehydes and ketones via hydrazone linkers is reported. The new strategy gives supports with better properties and is effective for the synthesis of all supports previously used for the alkylation of ketones anchored as hydrazones. In contrast to other approaches, the new strategy also provided a polymer with an economical C2 spacer linker. The supports were used for immobilization of ketones 3-pentanone, acetone, N-benzylpiperidone, and aldehydes hexanal and 3-phenylpropanal in the form of their hydrazones. The polymer-supported hydrazones were subjected to alpha-alkylation (LDA/RX) followed by acidic, reductive, or oxidative cleavage/workup procedures to provide alpha-alkylated aldehydes or ketones as well as corresponding primary amines, alcohols, nitriles or acids.
The preparation of new solid supports with hydrazine anchoring groups and their application to solid-phase synthesis of ketones and primary amines are described. The supports were used for immobilization of ketones, 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone, pentan-3-one, acetone, N-methylpiperidone, N-benzylpiperidone, and tropinone in the form of their hydrazones. The polymer-supported hydrazones were subjected to deprotonation/alkylation procedure (LDA/RX) once or twice. The resulting alkylated products were cleaved off the solid support on treatment with trifluoroacetic acid in tetrahydrofuran providing a-alkylated or a,a¢-bisalkylated ketones or were subjected to reductive cleavage with borane in tetrahydrofuran to give b-alkylated or b,b¢-bisalkylated primary amines.
Catalytic enantioselective Kinugasa reactions between acyclic and, for the first time, cyclic nitrones and terminal alkynes are described herein. A catalytic amount of the readily available PINAP/CuX complexes, generated in situ, efficiently catalyzed the Kinugasa reactions, leading to a series of -lactams with good enantioselectivities and moderate diastereoselectivities and yields. A broad range of nitrones and terminal
