| Research Abstract |
A new titanium complex (ηィイD12ィエD1-propene)Ti(O-i-Pr)ィイD22ィエD2 (1), generated in situ by treatment of Ti(O-i-Pr)ィイD24ィエD2 with 2 equiv of i-PrMgX (X = Cl or Br), nicely acts as a versatile titanium(II) equivalent to effect the following unique transformations. Thus, alkynes react with 1 to afford the alkyne-titanium complexes of type (ηィイD12ィエD1-alkyne)Ti(O-i-Pr)ィイD22ィエD2, which could be utilized as a vicinal vinylic dianion equivalent in the reactions with various kinds of electrophiles. Allyl- and allenyltitaniums could readily be prepared from allylic or propargylic alcohol derivatives by the reaction with 1 through an oxidative addition pathway. While acetylenic esters resulted in an intramolecular nucleophilic acyl substitution (INAS) reaction to afford α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, olefinic esters undergo tandem INAS and intramolecular carbonyl addition reactions to give cyclopropanols. Ene-ene, ene-yne, and yne-yne coupling reactions proceed in an intra- or intermolecular way via a cyclometallation reaction, and the generated titanacyclic complexes react with a variety of electrophiles in a chemo-, regio-, stereoselective way.
By utilizing these reactions, we have now succeeded in synthesizing N-heterocycles and/or their precursors, which include quinolones, pyrroles, indoles, optically active N-heterocycles, 2,6-disubstituted piperodines, β-lactams, azasugars and γ-amino carbonyl compounds.
