Abstract:The Mitsunobu reaction is a very versatile method for the alkylation of various nucleophiles (HA) with alcohols (ROH) to give RA, utilizing the redox system of diethyl azodicarboxylate (DEAD)-triphenylphosphine (TPP) (Fig. 1). 1,2) Without any prerequisite activation of the alcohol, it is a unique alkylation reaction and widely applied to various phases of organic synthesis. However, the reaction has a serious limitation; the acidic hydrogen in HA has to have pK a lower than 11 for the reaction to proceed sati… Show more
“…However, unlike traditional Mitsunobu reagents, trialkylphosphoranes are also thermally stable, 10 9 under standard conditions. pK a of nucleophile must be less then 11 to allow deprotonation step to occur CMMP is the most common trialkylphosphorane found in the literature, and it has been used successfully on indazoles, 11 activated methylenes, 12 and secondary amines.…”
Regioselective O-alkylation of indazolinones using (cyanomethylene)triphenthylphosphorane (CMPP) as a Mitsunobutype reagent is described with a variety of aliphatic alcohols. This method was also successfully applied to the N-alkylation of O-protected indazolinone. Selective N1 and N2 alkylations on indazolinone have previously been described; our methodology is therefore orthogonal to the previous precedent.

“…1 At room temperature this reaction did not occured. With CMMP as a Mitsunobu reagent the reaction can be carried out at high temperatures [11]. However, an increase in temperature would also facilitate the intramolecular Michael addition.…”

A one-step methodology for the synthesis of carbasugar, involving tandem Wittig-Horner, Mitsunobu, and Michael mechanisms, is disclosed. The strategy involves CMMP and allows a quick access to a new variety of carbasugar derivatives.
“…[25] The cyclic carbonate was converted into diol 27 through methanolysis, selective tosylation of the primary alcohol of the resulting triol by the Lilly protocol [32] (at which point a single diastereomer could be isolated), and reduction with NaBH 4 in warm HMPA. [33] The final ring closure was conducted by exposing 27 to the Tsunoda dehydration reagent (Me 3 P=C(H)CN), [34] a step that is analogous to the endgame of the synthesis of pseudodehydrothyrsiferol reported by Hioki et al [6] This led to the formation of 28 in 40% yield. Silyl ether cleavage by Bu 4 NF resulted in the isolation of 1 .…”
Cascading epoxides: The squalene‐derived polyether lactodehydrothyrsiferol (1) has been prepared through a convergent sequence that features an epoxide‐opening cascade to construct the tetrahydrofuran and tetrahydropyran subunits. Additional features include a stereodivergent diene diepoxidation, a monodeoxygenation of a triol, and complex fragment couplings through Suzuki and Nozaki–Hiyama–Kishi reactions.
