Radical Addition of α-Halo Ester to Homoallylic Gallium or Indium Species: Formation of Cyclopropane Derivatives

Abstract: Treatment of benzyl bromoacetate with 3-butenylgallium dichloride in ether in the presence of a catalytic amount of Et3B as a radical initiator provided benzyl 3-cyclopropylpropanoate in 64% yield via a radical addition–substitution sequence. The use of 3-butenylindium dichloride in place of the gallium reagent also afforded the same product in good yield.

“…Oshima et al have reported a radical reaction of α-halo carbonyl compounds with the butenylindium species prepared by transmetalation between 3-butenylmagnesium bromide (4) and indium halide. [15] However, application to the coupling with 2a failed, and most of the unreacted 2a was recovered (Scheme 2). The low yield was probably caused by the magnesium salt (MgBr 2 ) generated in situ.…”

“…Reactive organolithium and organomagnesium compounds undergo transmetalation generally at room temperature. Examples are allyl-, 20 vinyl-, 21 alkynyl-, 22 3-butenylmagnesium halides, 23 lithium acetylides, 24 lithiated phenols, 25 and lithiated anilines 26 (Scheme 9).…”

“…Bond formation at the less substituted carbon yields the 3-iodoalkylgallium via atom-transfer addition; the organogallium intermediate then undergoes intramolecular cyclization to form the cyclopropane ring. 22 The reaction mechanism of the allylation, especially the fate of the g-gallylalkyl radical intermediate 5, is not clear. Scheme 3 illustrates two plausible mechanisms, in the absence of water for clarity, which involve: (1) elimination of divalent gallium radical from 5 (Path A); or (2) halogen atom abstraction of 5 from a-halo carbonyl compound 1 (Path B).…”
