Hojo, Makoto published the artcileReductive Generation of Enolates Using a Chromium(III) Ate-Type Reagent as a Reductant and Reactions of the Enolates with Electrophiles, Category: esters-buliding-blocks, the main research area is chromium ate reagent ketone ester enolate formation reaction electrophile; stereoselective reaction ketone ester enolate aldehyde chromium ate reagent; aldehyde reaction ketone ester enolate chromium ate reagent; alkyl halide reaction ketone ester enolate chromium ate reagent; chemoselective reaction enolate keto ester chromium ate reagent; imine reaction enolate bromoacetate chromium ate reagent; cross aldol adduct synthesis chromium ate reagent.
The Cr ate-type reagent Bu6CrLi3 reacted cleanly with ketones and esters bearing a leaving group at the α-position to produce enolates under mild conditions, where the Cr ate reagent acts as a formal two-electron reductant. In a stepwise manner, the generated enolates reacted with a variety of electrophiles with high selectivity. In general, a well-dried 50 mL two-necked round bottom flask containing a magnetic stirring bar and ground Cr(III) chloride (0.52 mmol) was fitted with a rubber septum and a three-way stopcock connected to a balloon filled with Ar. The apparatus was purged with Ar by pumping-filling via a three-way stopcock. THF (4 mL) was introduced to the flask via a syringe, and the suspension was stirred at room temperature for 5 min. The flask was cooled to -78°, and a solution of BuLi in hexane (3.12 mmol; 1.57 M) was slowly added to the suspension, and the mixture was stirred for further 30 min at -78°. Enolate precursor (0.5 mmol) was added slowly to the mixture at -20 to -78°. After stirring for the specified period of time, an electrophile (3.64 mmol) was added to the mixture The reaction mixture was once cooled to -78°, and the reaction was quenched with a saturated solution of aqueous ammonium chloride at -78°. After extraction with ether, washing the ethereal solution with aqueous NaHCO3, and drying on Na2SO4, solvents were evaporated A crude mixture was subjected to chromatog. on silica gel to afford a pure product. For example, Et 2-bromopropionate and HexCHO gave 88% 3-hydroxy-2-methylnonanoic acid Et ester (80/20 syn/anti); Et 2-bromoisobutyrate and OctI gave 96% 2,2-dimethyldecanoic acid Et ester; Et 2-bromoisobutyrate and PhCH:NTs gave 88% 2,2-dimethyl-3-phenyl-3-(toluene-4-sulfonylamino)propionic acid Et ester; α,α-dibromobutyrophenone and EtCHO gave 29% (2,3-diethyloxiranyl)phenylmethanone, 23% 2-ethyl-1-phenylpent-2-en-1-one and 36% syn-2-ethyl-3-hydroxy-1-phenylpentan-1-one.
