Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, I have investigated developments of new catalytic coupling reaction of aromatic ketones with methylenecyclopropane (MCP) derivatives via cleavages of carbon-hydrogen and carbon-carbon bonds. Fe(PMe3)4 showed excellent catalytic activity for this coupling reaction. The reaction of pivalophenone with 2-phenyl-1-methylenecyclopropane (2-Ph-MCP) using Fe(PMe3)4 as a catalyst gave an ortho homoallylation product in low yield. Interestingly, however, the reaction using 4-trifluoromethylpivalophenone proceeded to give the corresponding homoallylation product in excellent yield. Benzophenone derivatives can be utilized in this reaction. Instead of 2-Ph-MCP, when the reaction was conducted using 2,2-diPh-MCP, the coupling reaction using pivalophenone took place smoothly to give the corresponding homoallylation product in high yield. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of the C-H homoallylation using methylenecyclopropanes via C-H and C-C bond cleavages.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

これまでに遷移金属触媒に用いた合成反応が様々開発され、化学量論反応では多量の化学物質とエネルギーが必要なプロセスを、より環境低負荷な条件で達成できるようになった。しかし、これら反応に用いられる金属はロジウムやパラジウム、白金といった貴金属が多くを占めており、持続的利用が困難視されている。本研究では、安価・安全な鉄触媒に用いることで、長きにわたり利用可能な合成手法を開発することを目指した。特に、炭素-水素結合を結合生成の起点として利用する直截的な合成を目指して検討した。その結果、鉄触媒だからこそ達成できる有用な合成手法を開発できた。このことは、有機合成が進む新しい方向性を示しているといえる。
