Enhancing the atom economy in allylstannane utilization: one-pot sequential nucleophilic and electrophilic activation
摘要
In an effort to gain atom-economy, a one-pot sequential reaction has been demonstrated which begins with the in situ generation of allylstannane from allyl bromide, tin(II) halide, and catalytic palladium(0). In second step of the sequence allylstannane is reacted with an aldehyde or an imine to provide homoallyloxytin(IV) and homoallylazatin(IV), respectively. Finally in the third step, intermediate homoallyloxytin(IV) is coupled with an aldehyde, an arylepoxide, or an arene to afford different tetrahydropyrans, benzyl tetrahydropyrans, and 4,4-diarylbut-1-enes, respectively. On the other hand, reaction of water with homoallyloxytin(IV) or homoallylazatin(IV) led to the facile formation of corresponding homoallyl alcohols or homoallyl amines, respectively.
