Introduction

The reactions described in this chapter include some of the most useful

methods for carbon-carbon bond formation:

the aldol reaction,

the Robinson annulation,

the Claisen condensation and other carbon acylation methods,

and the Wittig reaction and other olefination methods.

Pathway A: Aldol addition and condensation lead to-hydroxyalkyl or -alkylidene derivatives of the carbonnucleophile.

Pathway B: The acylation reactions follow in which agroup leaves from the carbonyl electrophile.Pathway C: In the Wittig and related olefinationreactions, the oxygen in the adduct reacts with thegroup Z to give an elimination product.

Pathway D: If the enolate has an -substituent that is aleaving group, cyclization can occur.

The retrosynthetic dissection is at a bond that is to a carbonyl and to an anionstabilizing group.

A second important reaction type considered in this chapter is conjugate addition, which involves addition of nucleophiles to electrophilic double or triple bonds.

2.1. Aldol Addition and Condensation Reactions:

For example, The mixed condensation of aromatic aldehydes withaliphatic aldehydes and ketones is often done under these conditions.The conjugation in the β-aryl enones provides a driving force for theelimination step.

2.1.1. THE GENERAL MECHANISM

Are occurring in: hydroxylic solvents and under thermodynamic control.

2.1.2. Control of Regio- and Stereoselectivity of AldolReactions of Aldehydes and Ketones:

7

The term directed aldol addition is applied to reactions that aredesigned to achieve specific regio and stereochemical outcomes.

Control of product structure requires that one reactant actexclusively as the nucleophile and the other exclusively as theelectrophile.

The enolate that is to serve as the nucleophile is generatedstoichiometrically, usually with lithium as the counterion in anaprotic solvent at low temperature.

Reaction conditions that involve other enolate derivatives asnucleophiles have been developed, including boron enolates andenolates with titanium, tin, or zirconium as the metal.

2.1.2.1. Aldol Reactions of Lithium Enolates

In the structures that follow, the reacting aldehyde is shown withR rather than H in the equatorial-like position, which avoids a1,3-diaxial interaction with the enolate C(1) substituent. Aconsequence of this mechanism is that the reaction isstereospecific with respect to the E- or Z-configuration of theenolate. The E-enolate gives the anti aldol product, whereas theZ-enolate gives the syn-aldol.

The ratio of the location of the deuterium corresponds closely tothe ratio of the stereoisomeric enolates for several aldehydes

When it reacts with benzaldehyde only the syn aldol is formed.The product stereochemistry is correctly predicted if the TS has aconformation with the phenyl substituent in an equatorialposition.

A similar preference for formation of the syn aldol is found forother Z-enolates derived from ketones in which one of thecarbonyl substituents is bulky. Ketone enolates with less bulkysubstituents show a decreasing stereoselectivity in the ordert-butyl > i-propyl > ethyl.

This trend parallels a decreasing preference for stereoselectiveformation of the Z-enolate.

The enolates derived from cyclic ketones are necessarilyE-isomers. The enolate of cyclohexanone reacts withbenzaldehyde to give both possible stereoisomeric products.

The stereoselectivity is about 5:1 in favor of the anti isomerunder optimum conditions

kinetic stereoselection in aldol additions of lithiumenolates:

(1) The chair TS model provides a basis for analyzing thestereoselectivity observed in aldol reactions of ketoneenolates having one bulky substituent. The preference is

Z-enolate → syn aldol;

E-enolate → anti aldol.

(2) When the enolate has no bulky substituent,stereoselectivity is low.

(3) Z-Enolates are more stereoselective than E-enolates.

ketones with one tertiary alkyl substituent give mainlythe Z-enolate, less highly substituted ketones usually givemixtures of E- and Z-enolates.

When the enolate has no bulky substituent, stereoselectivity is low.

Z-Enolates are more stereoselective than E-enolates 13

E:Z ratio for 3-pentanone and 2-methyl-3-pentanonecan be increased by use of a 1:1 lithiumtetramethylpiperidide(LiTMP)-LiBr mixture for kineticenolization.

For example, with the product from the reaction of the enolateof 2,2-dimethyl-3-pentanone and benzaldehyde. The greaterstability of the anti isomer is attributed to the pseudoequatorialposition of the methyl group in the chairlike product chelate.With larger substituent groups, the thermodynamic preferencefor the anti isomer is still greater

15

When aldol addition is carried out under thermodynamicconditions, the product stereoselectivity is usually not as high asunder kinetic conditions.

2.1.2.2. Aldol Reactions of Boron Enolates.

The O–B bond distances are shorter than for lithium enolates,and this leads to a more compact structure for the TS andmagnifies the steric interactions that control stereoselectivity.

Page 19: Advanced Organic Chemistry یاهشور یلآ داوم زتنس 4group Z to give an elimination product. ... With the bulkier dicyclohexylboron chloride, ... than 20:1 for cyclopentyl-n-hexylboron.

Boron enolates can be prepared by reaction of the ketone witha dialkylboron trifluoromethanesulfonate (triflate) and atertiary amine. Use of boron triflates and a bulky amine favorsthe Z-enolate. The resulting aldol products are predominantlythe syn stereoisomers.

19

The E-boron enolates of some ketones can be preferentiallyobtained by using dialkylboron chlorides.

Page 20: Advanced Organic Chemistry یاهشور یلآ داوم زتنس 4group Z to give an elimination product. ... With the bulkier dicyclohexylboron chloride, ... than 20:1 for cyclopentyl-n-hexylboron.

Z-Boron enolates can also be obtained from silyl enol ethers byreaction with the bromoborane derived from 9-BBN (9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane). This method is necessary for ketones suchas 2,2-dimethyl-3-pentanone, which give E-boron enolates byother methods. The Z-stereoisomer is formed from either the Z-or E-silyl enol ether.

With the triflate reagents, the boron is anti to the enolizablegroup. With the bulkier dicyclohexylboron chloride, the boronfavors a conformation cis to the enolizable group.

The E-boron enolate from cyclohexanone shows a preferencefor the anti aldol product. The ratio depends on the boron alkylgroups and is modest (2:1) with di-nbutylboron but greaterthan 20:1 for cyclopentyl-n-hexylboron.

Titanium enolates can be prepared from lithium enolates byreaction with a trialkoxytitanium(IV) chloride, such as tris(isopropoxy) titaniumchloride. Titanium enolates are usuallyprepared directly from ketones by reaction with TiCl4 and atertiary amine. Under these conditions, the Z-enolate is formedand the aldol adducts have syn stereochemistry.The addition step proceeds through a cyclic TS assembled aroundtitanium.

Mixed aldehyde-aldehyde additions have been carried out usingTiCl4 and TMEDA.The reaction gives syn adducts, presumably through a cyclic TS.Treatment of the syn adducts with 1 mol % Ti(O-i-Pr)4 leads toequilibration to the more stable anti isomer.

Ketone-aldehyde additions have been effected using TiCl4 intoluene.These reactions exhibit the same stereoselectivity trends asother titanium-mediated additions.With unsymmetrical ketones, this procedure gives the productfrom the more substituted enolate.

Titanium enolates can also be used under conditions in whichthe titanium exists as an “ate” species. Crossed aldehyde-aldehyde additions have been accomplished starting withtrimethylsilyl enol ethers, which are converted to lithiumenolates and then to “ate” species by addition of Ti(O-n-Bu)4.These conditions show only modest stereoselectivity.

The reaction works best with ketones having EWG substituentssuch as alkynones and haloketones. The reaction is thought toproceed through a cyclic intermediate that is stable until hydrolysis.This cyclic intermediate may be necessary to drive the normallyunfavorable equilibrium of the addition step.

If the number of anionic ligands exceeds the oxidation state of themetal, the complex has a formal negative charge on the metal andis called an “ate” complex.

Tin(II) enolates can be generated from ketones and Sn(II)(O3SCF3)2

in the presence of tertiary amines. The subsequent aldol additionis syn selective and independent of enolate configuration.The syn stereoselectivity indicates that reaction occurs throughan open TS.This preference arises from avoidance of gauche interaction ofthe aldehyde group and the enolate -substituent.

Page 30: Advanced Organic Chemistry یاهشور یلآ داوم زتنس 4group Z to give an elimination product. ... With the bulkier dicyclohexylboron chloride, ... than 20:1 for cyclopentyl-n-hexylboron.

Tin(II) enolates prepared in this way also show good reactivity toward ketones as the electrophilic component.

Uncatalyzed addition of trialkylstannyl enolates to benzaldehydeshows anti stereoselectivity

A comparison of the anti:syn diastereoselectivity of the lithium,dibutylboron, and Cp2Zr enolates of 3-methyl-2-hexanone withbenzaldehyde has been reported. The order of stereoselectivity is:

2.1.3. ALDOL ADDITION REACTIONS OF ENOLATES OF ESTERS AND OTHER

CARBONYL DERIVATIVES.The enolates of other carbonyl compounds can be used in mixed aldolreactions.The silyl ethers of ester enolates, which are called silyl ketene acetals,show reactivity that is analogous to silyl enol ethers and are covalentequivalents of ester enolates.

These observations are explained in terms of a chairlike TS for the LDA/THFconditionsand a more open TS in the presence of an aprotic dipolar solvent.

Despite the ability to control ester enolate geometry, the aldoladdition reactions of unhindered ester enolate are not verystereoselective.

This stereoselectivity can be improved by use of a very bulky group.

2,6-Dimethylphenyl esters give E-enolates and anti aldol adducts.

The lithium enolates of α-alkoxy esters exhibit high stereo-selectivity, which is consistent with involvement of a chelatedenolate. The chelated ester enolate is approached by the aldehydein such a manner that the aldehyde R group avoids being betweenthe α-alkoxy and methyl groups in the ester enolate.

Use of branched-chain alcohols increases the amount of antienolate, and with t-butyl esters the product ratio is higher than97:3.

39

Various combinations of borylating reagents and amines havebeen used and the E:Z ratios are dependent on the reagentsand conditions. In most cases esters give Z-enolates, which leadto syn adducts, but there are exceptions.

Branched-chain esters also give mainly anti adducts when theenolates are formed using dicyclohexyliodoborane.

Phenyl and phenylthio esters have proven to be advantageous inTiCl4-mediated additions, perhaps because they are slightlymore acidic than the alkyl analogs.The reactions show syn diastereoselectivity, indicating that Z-enolates are formed.

N-acyloxazolidinones, can be used in conjunction withBu2BO3SCF3, Sn(O3SCF3)2,or TiCl4 for generation of enolates.

The Mukaiyama aldol reaction refers to Lewis acid–catalyzedaldol addition reactions of silyl enol ethers, silyl ketene acetals,and similar enolate equivalents.

Lewis acids cause reaction to occur by coordination at thecarbonyl oxygen, activating the carbonyl group to nucleophilicattack.

44

In general terms, there are at least three possible

mechanisms for catalysis:

One is through Lewis acid activation of the

electrophilic carbonyl component, similar to that

discussed for BF3, TiCl4, and SnCl4.

Another is by exchange with the enolate

equivalent to generate a more nucleophilic species.

A third is activation of a catalytic cycle that

generates trimethylsilyl cation as the active

catalysts.

Page 45: Advanced Organic Chemistry یاهشور یلآ داوم زتنس 4group Z to give an elimination product. ... With the bulkier dicyclohexylboron chloride, ... than 20:1 for cyclopentyl-n-hexylboron.

45

The catalytic cycle involves transfer of the silyl group to theadduct

Page 46: Advanced Organic Chemistry یاهشور یلآ داوم زتنس 4group Z to give an elimination product. ... With the bulkier dicyclohexylboron chloride, ... than 20:1 for cyclopentyl-n-hexylboron.

Trimethylsilyl triflate can be formed by intermolecular transferof the silyl group.When this occurs, the trimethylsilyl triflate can initiate a catalyticcycle that does not directly involve the Lewis acid.

Hindered bis-phenoxyaluminum derivatives are powerfulcocatalysts for reactions mediated by TMS triflate and arebelieved to act by promoting formation of trimethylsilylcations by sequestering the triflate anion.

Silyl enol ethers react with formaldehyde and benzaldehyde inwater-THF mixtures using lanthanide triflates such asYb(O3SCF3)3.The catalysis reflects the strong affinity of lanthanides forcarbonyl oxygen, even in aqueous solution.

Indium(III) chloride is a borderline catalysts by these criteria, butnevertheless is effective.The optimum solvent is 95:5 isopropanol-water.Under these conditions, the reaction is syn selective, suggestinga cyclic TS

The Lewis acids promote ionization of the acetal to an oxoniumion that acts as the electrophile. The products are β-alkoxyketones.

In some cases, the enolate can be formed directly in thepresence of the acetal with the Lewis acid also activating theacetal.

In the discussion of the stereochemistry of aldol and Mukaiyama

reactions, the most important factors in determining

the syn or anti diastereoselectivity

were identified as the nature of the

TS (cyclic, open, or chelated)

and the configuration

(E or Z) of the enolate.

In the Felkin model for nucleophilic addition to carbonylcenters the larger-substituent is aligned anti to theapproaching enolate and yields the 3,4-syn product.If reaction occurs by an alternative approach, thestereochemistry is reversed, and this is called an anti-Felkinapproach.

The obtuse angle of attack supports the nonpassive role of theR-group in ketones. Not only will there be steric interactionsbetween the S or M groups and the R-group, but also interactionswith the incoming nucleophile due to the attack trajectory. In this model one would predict an increase of stereodifferentiation as thesize of R increases. This has been found experimentally

Preferred conformation.

Less interaction between

the small group and the

R-group. Note that this

model "feels" the influence

of increasing size of R.

In this coformer, an

increased interaction

is seen between the

medium group and R.

Also, there is more

interaction with the

nucleophile.

Several α-methyl-β-alkoxyaldehydes show a preference for 2,3-syn-3,4-anti products on reaction with Z-enolates.

Both α-and β-alkoxy aldehydes give chelationcontrolledproducts with SnCl4 and TiCl4, but not with BF3. If there is anadditional substituent on the aldehyde, the chelateestablishes a facial preference for the approach of thenucleophile

In each instance, the silyl enol ether approaches anti to themethyl substituent on the chelate. This results in a 3,4-synrelationship between the hydroxy and alkoxy groups for α-alkoxyaldehydes and a 3,5-anti relationship for β-alkoxy aldehydeswith the main chain in the extended conformation.

A crystal structure is available for the SnCl4 complex of 2-benzyloxy-3-pentanone. The steric shielding by the methyl group withrespect to the C=O is evident in this structure (Figure 2.1).NMR studies indicate that the reaction involves formation oftrimethylsilyl chloride from the chelated intermediate. This step isfollowed by conversion to the more stable aldol chelate.

In the reaction of α-methylthiobutanal, where the methylthiogroup has the potential for chelation, BF3 gave 100% of antiproduct, whereas TiCl4 gave a 5:1 syn:anti ratio.

Chelation-controlled product is formed from reaction of α–benzyloxypropanal and the TBDMS silyl ketene acetal derivedfrom ethyl acetate using 3% LiClO4 as catalyst.

The reaction is believed to occur through a cationic complex,with the chloride ion associated with a second aluminum as(CH3)2AlCl2. Interestingly, although TiCl4 induced chelationcontrol with the benzyloxy group, it did not do so with theTBDMS group.

In the case of α-alkoxy aldehydes the preferred TS appears to beF and G for the E- and Z-enolates, respectively The reactantconformation is believed to be determined by minimization ofdipolar repulsion between the alkoxy substituent and thecarbonyl group.

A BF3-catalyzed reaction was found to be 3,5-anti selective forseveral β-substituted 5-phenylpentanals. This result can berationalized by a TS that avoids an unfavorable alignment of theC=O and C–X dipoles.

Thus we see that steric effects, chelation, and the polar effects of 𝛂 −and 𝛃-substituents can influence the facial selectivity in aldol additionsto aldehydes. These relationships provide a starting point for predictionand analysis of stereoselectivity based on structural effects in thereactant aldehyde. These general principles have been applied to thesynthesis of a number of more complex molecules. Table 2.3 summarizesthe relationships discussed in this section.
