Cause and effect: The first ortho‐selective nucleophilic addition reaction of amines to 3‐substituted benzynes has been achieved. Despite a large trimethylsilyl substituent, primary amines attack the C2 position of 3‐silylbenzynes to produce 2‐silylanilines (see scheme). This outcome is likely to result from the inductive electron‐donating effect of the silyl group, which overrides its steric repulsion with the approaching amines.
Zwei zum Preis von einem: Ein Verfahren zur regiokontrollierten Synthese mehrfach substituierter Biaryle wird vorgestellt. Bei dieser Methode steuert die tert‐Butyldimethylsilyl(TBDMS)‐Gruppe sowohl die regioselektive Diels‐Alder‐Reaktion eines 3‐TBDMS‐Benz‐ins mit einem Furan als auch die anschließende Hiyama‐Kreuzkupplung mit Aryliodiden (siehe Schema).
For the synthesis of a 12-membered salicylic macrolide scaffold, ring-closing metathesis (RCM) of a omega-diene compound was planned. The stereochemical outcome of the RCM reaction changed depending on the type of Ru catalyst that was used; a "first-generation" Grubbs catalyst produced exclusively the E isomer and "second-generation" catalysts provided a mixture of the E and Z isomers under kinetic control (not thermodynamic control). Considerations for the E/Z selectivity are described.
Ursache und Wirkung: Bei der Titelreaktion greifen primäre Amine trotz eines großen Trimethylsilyl‐Substituenten die C2‐Position von 3‐Silylbenz‐inen unter Bildung von 2‐Silylanilinen an (siehe Schema). Dieser Reaktionsverlauf resultiert wahrscheinlich aus dem induktiven elektronenschiebenden Effekt der Silylgruppe, der gegenüber ihrer sterischen Abstoßung angreifender Amine überwiegt.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
