Ammonium-Directed Olefinic Epoxidation: Kinetic and Mechanistic Insights

Abstract: The ammonium-directed olefinic epoxidations of a range of differentially N-substituted cyclic allylic and homoallylic amines (derived from cyclopentene, cyclohexene, and cycloheptene) have been investigated, and the reaction kinetics have been analyzed. The results of these studies suggest that both the ring size and the identity of the substituents on nitrogen are important in determining both the overall rate and the stereochemical outcome of the epoxidation reaction. In general, secondary amines or tertiary… Show more

“…15 Pyridine derivatives are found to have a large spectrum of biological activities, 16 therefore, pyridin-3-ol (3-PyOH) was chosen as an O-nucleophile. It was established experimentally that cesium carbonate can be used as a catalyst for the ring-oprning reactions of 3-substituted carbocyclic epoxides instead of sodium hydride, the common reagent for the epoxide cleavage with phenols.…”

“…All reagents and solvents were purchased from commercial sources and used without further purification. Starting epoxides 1 and 2 previously described in the literature 15 were characterized by comparing their 1 H NMR spectra to the published data. All yields reported in this publication refer to isolated ones of compounds and their purity was determined by 1 H NMR.…”

“…Similarly, model compound 2 d led to the corresponding epoxide 28 b with the same stereoselectivity. The high syn ‐stereocontrol could arise either through a directed epoxidation from the corresponding ammonium42 or from the N‐oxide formed in situ (Scheme ) 43. The latter would be formed by oxidation of the amine before epoxidation and then reduction with Na 2 S 2 O 5 , thus regenerating the tertiary amine.…”

“…Epoxides 3a,b (Scheme 1) were obtained by the addition of benzyl(methyl)amine or dibenzylamine to cyclopent-2-en-1-yl acetate ( 1 ) followed by epoxidation [28]. Epoxides 6a,b were synthesized from 3a,b through epoxide ring inversion using glacial acetic acid as the oxirane-cleaving agent [29].…”

“…Epoxides 3 and 6 were identified by 1 H NMR data [28]. Morpholine ( 7a ), 2-methyl-1 H -imidazole ( 7b ), N -acetylpiperazine ( 7c ) and 9 H -purin-6-amine ( 7d ) were used as nucleophiles (Fig.…”
