11 The Twelve Principles of Green Chemistry

1. Prevention: It is better to prevent waste than to treat or clean up waste afterit has been created.

2. Atom Economy: Synthetic methods should be designed to maximize the incorporation of all materials used in the process into the final product.

3. Less Hazardous Chemical Syntheses: Wherever practicable, synthetic methods should be designed to use and generate substances that possess little or no toxicity to human health and the environment.

4. Designing Safer Chemicals: Chemical products should be designed to effect their desired function while minimizing their toxicity.

5. Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries: The use of auxiliary substances (e.g., solvents, separation agents, etc.) should be made unnecessary wherever possible and innocuous when used.

Design for Energy Efficiency: Energy requirements of chemical processes 6. should be recognized fo r their environmental and economic impacts and should be minimized. If possible, synthetic methods should be conducted at ambient temperature and pressure.

7. Use of Renewable Feedstocks: A raw material or feedstock should be renewable rather than depleting whenever technically and economically practicable.

8. Reduce Derivatives: Unnecessary derivatization (use of blocking groups, protection/deprotection, temporarymodifica tion of physical/chemical processes) should be minimized or avoided if possible, because such steps require additional reagents and can generate waste.

9. : Catalytic reagents (as selective as possible) are superior to stoichiometric reagents.

10. Design for Degradation: Chemical products should be designed so that at the end oftheir function they break down into innocuous degradation products and do not persist in the environment.

11. Real-time analysis for Pollution Prevention: Analytical methodologies need to be furtherdeveloped to allow for real-time, in-process monitoring and control

111 prior to the formation of hazardous substances.

12. Inherently Safer Chemistry for Accident Prevention: Substances and the form of a substance used in a chemical process should be chosen to minimize the potential for chemical accidents, including releases, explosions, and fires.

Cyclic acetals (dioxolanes, dioxanes, and dithianes) are common protecting groupsin organic synthesis but they can also be converted to other usefulfunctional group s. A bismuth(III)triflate-catalyzed multi component reaction involving the allylation of cyclic acetals followed by in situ derivatization with anhydrides to generate highlyfunctionalized esters and thioesters has been developed under solvent-free conditions. Most reagents used to date for the allylation of cyclic acetals are highly corrosive or toxic and are oftenrequired in stoichiometric amounts. In contrast, the use of a relatively non-toxic and non-corrosive bismuth(III) based catalyst makes this methodology benign and attractive.

VI. VB I. Introduction

A. Green Chemistry

The contributions ofthe phannaceuticalindustry, especially via synthetic organic chemistry, to medicine have significantly improved the quality and length of human life. The synthesis and commercial development of countless compounds now allow for the treatment of diseases that have otherwise overwhelmed mankind. Over the past century, the discovery of antibiotics and new medicines has contributed to prolonging the average human life span by nearly thirty years.! The development of new fertilizers and pesticides has allowed for more bountifulharvests. Despite the vast achievements of the chemical industry, the massive amounts of hazardous waste produced cannot be ignored, especially when considering current environmental issues and the hazards presented to human health. For example, in 1984 a Union Carbide pesticide plant in Bhopal, India released 42 tons of methyl isocyanate? Nearly 15,000 people have lost their lives as result of this toxic gas leak and many others have suffered health problems due to exposure. Environmental drinking contamination has also been a major issue in the aftermathof the disaster.

The United States Congress has passed many laws to help reduce the amount of chemical waste released into the environment. The most significant of these is the "Pollution Prevention Act" (PP A) passed in 1990.3 The PPA provides guidelines and laws on pollution prevention through the proper use and disposal of chemicals. Also, source reduction and prevention have been stressed in this legislation. The governmenttracks the production and release of toxic 4 chemical waste in the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI). In 2006, the TRI indicated that the chemical industry ranks third in the amount of waste released by sector (figure 1.1). The only

1 industries that produce and release more waste are the relatively large metal mining and electricity sectors.

Therefore, chemists need to be more concerned with pollution in terms of hazardous waste being released into the environment. This has prompted synthetic organic chemists to consider developing environmentally friendly chemistry or Green Chemistry. Green Chemistry involves the design of chemical syntheses and processes that are more environmentally friendly, reduce waste production, and avoid use of toxic reagents.2 The main goal of green chemistry is to minimize the use of toxic chemicals by finding safe, effective alternatives. This type of developmental strategy is an efficient way to reduce the chemical waste associated with a synthesis. Also, avoiding the use of toxic and corrosive reagents makes synthesis much safer for the chemists involved. The risk associated with the use of a chemical can be expressed as a function of both hazard and exposure (eq. 1.1)?

2 Equation 1.1

Risk = f [hazard, exposure]

Past strategies of reducing risk have involved limiting exposure to dangerous chemicals by taking safety precautions and exercising especial care when handling reagents. This strategy can be an effective way of increasing safety if exposure can truly be limited. However, due to human error and faults in protective laboratory equipment, exposure control measures often fail. Therefore, the Green Chemistry approach is to lower hazards by using inherently less toxic or non-toxic reagents. This reduces risk associated with syntheses and reduces hazardous waste overall. This concept can be accomplished through the practice of Green Chemistry where information about toxicity of chemicals is utilized to lower hazard and reduce waste. This has particular relevance to synthetic organic chemistry, a field in which many toxic, corrosive and difficultto dispose of chemicals continue to be used in large quantities.

One concept that can be used to reduce the amount of waste associated with a chemical synthesis is atom economy. Atom economy is a measure of the percent by mass of reactants that end up in the desired product, and hence, is a good indication of the amount of waste material associated with a process. The solvents and catalysts necessary for a synthesis are not considered. This concept was introduced by Trost in 1991.5

Equation 1.2

Molecular Weight of desired product tom conomy = 10070 Of A E Molecular Weight of all reactants x

Many synthetic methods currently used yield byproducts that increase the amount of waste associated with a synthesis. Also, if the byproducts are toxic this makes waste disposal

3 more difficultand costly. The Wittig synthesis of produces one equivalent of triphenylphosphine oxide as a byproduct for every equivalent of formed (scheme 1.1).

Scheme 1.1

o II o A + + Ph/�'Ph Ph

In contrast to the Wittig reaction, a classic example of an atom-economic reaction is the Diels- Alder cycloaddition. All of the atoms present in the diene and dienophile are present in the final cyclized product. Thus, the only chemical waste involved with this synthesis comes fromany necessary solvents or catalysts (scheme 1.2).

Scheme 1.2

R heat (j

The designof atom-economic processes allows for reduction of the amount of raw materials needed and a decrease in waste generated. Thus, designing syntheses with this principal in mind could drastically reduce the amount of waste produced by the chemical industry while also reducing costs.

The concept of E (environmental) factor was introduced by Roger Sheldon in 1992 to evaluate the environmental impact of chemical processes.6a The E factor is defined in terms of the amount waste associated with a process and the amount of desired product produced (eq. 1.3).

4 Equation 1.3

mass oj waste produced

actor = __---"- __----0... ___ _ E fi mass of product produced

The E factor can be determined for either an individual chemical process or an entire industrial sector. Sheldon determined the E factors for a number of different chemical industries (table 1.1). He found that the E factors associated with finechemi cal and pharmaceutical synthesis were relatively high when compared with more efficient industries, such as oil refining and bulk chemical synthesis. Production of waste on such a grand scale poses a major environmental concernand also hurts the cost effectiveness of numerous commercial processes.

Table E Factors of Various Chemical Industries 1.1:

Industry Sector Product produced (Tons) E Factor (kg waste/kg product) Oil refining 106_108 0.1 < Bulk chemicals 104_106 1 - 5 < Fine chemicals 102 _104 5 - 50 Pharmaceuticals 10-103 25 - 100

The importance of considering E factors and other Green Chemistry metrics becomes readily apparent when considering synthetic processes that generate large amounts of waste. In the early 1980s, Oce Andeno closed a plant responsible for the synthesis ofphloroglucino1.6b Phloroglucinol is used as a raw material for the synthesis of explosives and pharmaceuticals.

Closure of the plant was necessary because the cost of disposing of the waste associated with the synthesis was approaching the profits associated with the sale of phloroglucinol. The synthetic strategy employed at Oce Andeno involved the oxidation of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) with

5 potassium dichromate in fumingsulfuric acid 6c (scheme 1.3). This was followed by reduction of the nitro substituents with iron and and anin situ decarboxylation. Heating an acidic solution ofthe resulting 1,3,5-triaminobenzene yielded phloroglucinol.

The E factor for this process was determined by Sheldon to be 40. Thus, for every kg of phloroglucinol produced, 40 kg of solid waste containing Cr2(S04h FeCh, KHS04, and NH4Cl was generated. The cost associated with the disposal of this waste made the process impractical and resulted in the eventual closing of the Oce Andeno plant.

Though Sheldon's E factor is a good indication of the relative amount of waste produced by a given process or industry, the nature of the waste produced should also be taken into account when evaluating synthetic viability. A kilogram of or a similarly benignsalt is not equivalent to a kilogram of a toxic compound such as a tin when considering the environmental implications of chemical waste disposal. All of these factors should be considered collectively when designingGreen Chemistry processes.

6 The approach to environmentally friendlyche mistry in our laboratory utilizes non-toxic reagents that are highly catalytic in nature. It is in this context that bismuth compounds arevery attractive as catalysts and reagents in organic synthesis.

B. Bismuth Compounds

Bismuth, the 83rd element in the periodic table, has a natural abundance of 0.008 ppm in the Earth's crust and 0.0002 ppm in sea water.7 It is a soft,cryst alline metal with a whitish-pink hue. Bismuth is the heaviest stable element and the most diamagnetic element known.

Bismuth is a remarkable element because despite its proximity on the periodic table to toxic heavy metals such as lead and antimony, it is relative non-toxic. Due to their non-toxicity, bismuth compounds have found numerous applications in cosmetics and medicine. For example, the active ingredient in the anti-diarrheal medication Pepto-Bismol™ is

(figure 1.2). Bismuth sub citrate is the only compound known to be active against Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium that cause ulcers.8 Bismuth subnitrate is used in medicine as a wound dressing and as a component in ointment for inflamedskin. Cosmetically, is used to impart a shimmering effect to various makeup products. Bismuth is an environmentally friendlyalternative to lead as the main component of shotgun cartridges used for waterfowl hunting.

7 With increasing fo cus on developing environmentally friendlysynt hesis methods, bismuth compounds have also been used as catalysts in synthetic organic chemistry. Bismuth compounds have several attractive features in this respect.

There is no evidence to date to suggest that bismuth compounds are carcinogenic or mutagenic.9 The remarkable non-toxicity of bismuth compounds has earnedbi smuth the distinction of a "Green" element. IO This non-toxicity is primarily due to their insolubility in neutral aqueous solutions such as biological fluids. Bismuth compounds are poorly soluble in the blood plasma and are readily excreted via the urinary tract. The non-toxicity of bismuth's compounds is evident froma comparison of LD50 values for a range of common Lewis (table 1.2). As can be seen fromtable 1.2, most bismuth compounds are even less toxic than . Even organobismuth compounds such as triphenylbismuthine areremark ably non-toxic.

8 Despite the fact that bismuth is not common in the Earth's crust, bismuth compounds are relatively inexpensive. This is because bismuth is a byproduct oflead, copper and tin refining.

Many bismuth(III) compounds are commercially available at a low cost (table 1.3), which makes bismuth compounds even more attractive as potential catalysts.

Althoughthe hydrolysis of Bi(III) salts in water has been reported (this is discussed in more detail later, see scheme 1.36), bismuth compounds are relatively stable and tolerate small amounts of air and moisture. This contrasts sharply with moisture-sensitive Lewis acid reagents and catalysts, such as BF3·Et20 and TiC14, that must be handled under an inert atmosphere to ensure safety and viability of the reagent.

The electron configuration of bismuth is [Xe]4/45io6i6p3. On account of weak shielding by the 4f electrons (Lanthanide contraction) bismuth(III) compounds exhibit Lewis

9 acidity. Thus, bismuth(III) compounds can be utilized as potential Lewis acidic catalysts for organic synthesis.

Bismuth can also exist in the +5 oxidation state. Organobismuth compounds with bismuth in the +5 oxidation state are known andhave been applied in organic synthesis. II

Bismuth Trifluoromethanesulfonate [Bismuth Triflate, Bi(OTf)3] Metal triflateshave received significant attention in the literature as Lewis acid catalysts.33 Likewise, bismuth triflate isthe one of the most thoroughly investigated bismuth- based catalysts.34 Bismuth triflate is a hygroscopic white solid that exists in a hydrated form at room temperature (Bi(OTt) 'xH20 with 1 x 4). Attempts to synthesize the anhydrous salt by 3 < < 3 heating Bi(OTt)3'4H20 result in decomposition above temperatures of 100 °C. 5 The final products of this decomposition areBiF 3 and H2S04. X-ray powder diffraction35 studies on

Bi(OTt)3 show that the bismuth atom is coordinated to four water molecules and four oxygen atoms fromtriflate groups. It was also determined that the tetrahydrate of bismuth triflate condenses into dimers.

Because ofthe environmentally friendly nature of bismuth salts, bismuth triflate has

received significant attention in the literature. 10, 34 Bismuth triflatehas been used as a catalyst for Diels-Alder reactions 17, 36 (scheme 1.20), Mukaiyamaaldol reactions37 (scheme 1.34), Biginelli

14 reactions38 (scheme 1.21), Friedel-Craftsacylations 39 (scheme 1.22) and alkylations4o, Beckmann rearrangements4! (scheme 1.23), Michael-type reactions42 (scheme 1.24), synthesis43 and deprotection44 of acetals, and the Sakurai allylation of a variety of functionalgroup including aldehydes45 (scheme 1.25), acetals46 (scheme 1.26), epoxides47 (scheme 1.27), aziridines47

(scheme 1.28), and quinones48 (scheme 1.29). This rather vast body ofliterature highlightsthe wide applicability and versatility of bismuth triflate as a catalyst in organic synthesis.

Bismuth triflatecan be synthesized in the laboratory by a variety of literature methods. Verma and co-workers were the first to report a synthesis of bismuth triflate frombi smuth(III) 4 trifluoracetate and triflic acid 9 (scheme 1.30).

17 Bismuth triflatehas also been synthesized by treatment of triphenylbismuth with triflicacid so

(scheme 1.3 1). This method exploits the weak bismuth-carbon bonds (Bi-C bond: 143 KJ/mols1;

C-C bond: 447 KJ/mol) in triphenylbismuth to generate bismuth triflate. This method is not, however, environmentally friendly because of the formation of three equivalents of benzene, a known carcinogen.

The efficiency of bismuth triflateas a Lewis acid catalyst is especially obvious when it is compared to other rare-earth triflates that have received considerably more attention in the literature. Bismuth triflate is reported to be a more effective catalyst for the chlorosulfinylation of aromatics than other triflatesS3 (scheme 1.33). Bismuth triflatewas sucessfullyempl oyed as a catalyst for the chlorosulfinylation of electron-rich aromatic compounds in high yields. The use of other metal triflates, such as scandium triflate and cerium triflate, resulted in significant

amounts of sulfide byproduct 2.

Also, bismuth triflateis a more effective catalyst for the Mukaiyama-aldol reaction37 than other metal triflates (scheme 1.34). I-Trimethylsilyloxycyclohexene was successfullycoupled with benzaldehyde with a low loading (1.0 mol %) of bismuth triflate. Ytterbium(III) triflateand (III) triflatewere ineffective as catalysts for this reaction.

19 Bismuth triflateis prone to hydrolysis in water yielding triflicacid (scheme 1.35). Other rare-earth metal triflates, such as scandium triflateand lanthanum triflateare not hydrolyzed in water. This unique property of bismuth triflate must be considered while dealing with acid- sensitive functional groups or proposing reaction mechanisms.

Scheme 1.35

For example, Marko and coworkers have explored the role oftriflic acid in the metal triflate catalyzed acylation of alcohols54 (scheme 1.36). It was discovered that the rate of benzoylation of alcohols catalyzed by bismuth triflatewas greatly inhibited when the reaction was performed in the presence 2,6-di-t-butyl-4-methylpyridine (DTBMP), a very hindered organic base. Moreover, the reaction was successfullycatalyzed using triflicacid. These data suggest that the acylation of alcohols is actually triflicacid catalyzed. Similar observations have been made by our group.44

20 Bismuth triflatecan also be used as a catalyst in aqueous solutions. For example, the synthesis of2,3-disubstituted quinoxalines catalyzed by bismuth triflate in water been reported. 55 The bismuth triflatecatalyzed deprotection of acyclic and cyclic acetals in aqueous THF has also been reported44 (scheme 1.37). This protocol also applicable to ketals and conjugated acetals with a low loading of bismuth triflate(0. 1-1.0 mol %).

Many reagents and catalysts are destroyed when exposed to small amounts of water. This makes the use of anhydrous solvents and reagents imperative in many cases. Catalysts and reagents must oftenbe handled under an inert atmosphere. In contrast, most reactions catalyzed by bismuth triflatedo not require dry solvents or inert atmosphere conditions.

The environmentally friendly nature of bismuth (III) triflate coupledwith its ease of handling and inexpensive nature have prompted us to explore its utility as a catalyst for a variety of synthetic transformations.

C. Literature Review: Allylation of Acetals

Hosomi-Sakurai Allylation of Acyclic Acetals

Some of most importantorgani c transformations involve the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. These methodologies are especially important in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and

21 natural products. Methods that have been developed for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds include the Suzuki Cross-Coupling56, Friedel-Crafts acylation57 and alkylation58, the Michael reaction59, OlefinMetat hesis6o, and Diels-Alder cyclization.61 The nucleophilic allylation of various carbon electrophiles is also an efficient strategy for carbon-carbon bond formation. The

Hosomi-Sakurai reaction involves the Lewis or protic acid catalyzed allylation of various electrophiles using allyl silanes. This method is commonly regarded as a mild method for carbon-carbon bond formation. Hosomi and Sakuraifirst reported the TiCl4-promoted allylation 62 of aldehydes and ketones to yield homoallyl alcohols (scheme 1.38).

Scheme 1.38

TiCI4 (0.5 eq)

They also successfullyextended this methodologyto the allylation of acyclic acetals63 (scheme

1.39). This represents an efficient synthesis of homo allyl ethers fromreadily available acetal starting materials. Following their report, the allylation of acyclic acetals to yield homo allyl ethers has since been well studied with a number of different Lewis acid catalysts. These include diphenylboryl triflate68, bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide69, montmorillonite7 0, CuBr7 tris(p- \ 2 3 4 bromophenyl)aminium hexachloroantimonate7 , Sc(OTf)3 7 , and BiBr3.7 Many of the catalysts previously employed for this synthesis are corrosive, for example AICl], TiC14, and TMSOTf, or toxic, for exampleBF 3"Et20. Additionally, stoichiometric catalyst loadings are oftennecessary. Low temperatures and anhydrous conditions are also required in several of these reported

22 protocols. These conditions detract fromthe utility of these procedures in the industry because of environmental and safety concerns.

Scheme 1.39

Our grouphas reported the bismuth(III) triflate-catalyzedallylation of acyclic acetals and ketals to yield homoallyl ethers in good yields75 (scheme 1.40). The allylation reactions proceeded smoothly at room temperature with a low catalyst loading (1.0 mol %).

Scheme 1.40

This procedure provides a highly catalytic and environmentally friendly route to homoallyl ethers compared to previously reported methodologies.

Hosomi-Sakurai Allylation of Aldehydes

In contrast to the allylation of acyclic acetals, the allylation of aldehydes and carbonyl compounds to yield homoallyl ethers has received relatively little attention in the literature. Sakurai and co-workers reported the allylation of aldehydes and ketones catalyzed by iodotrimethylsilane in the presence of alkoxysilanesto yield homo allyl ethers 76 (scheme 1.41).

Trimethylsilyl triflate has also been used as a catalyst for the allylation of aldehydes in the

23 presence of alkoxysilanes to yield benzyl homo allyl ethers and n-hexyl homoallyl ethers.77 Two

disadvantages of this method are the utilization of a corrosive catalyst and the use of carbon tetrachloride, a carcinogenic and environmentally harmful solvent.

Scheme 1.41

Me3SiI (10.0 mol %)

We have recently reported the iron(III) p-toluenesulfonate catalyzed allylation of aldehydes and acetals to yield homoallyl ethers78 (scheme 1.42). The direct conversion of aldehydes to the corresponding homo allyl ether is advantageous because few acetals are

commercially available and must be typically synthesized fromthe corresponding aldehyde. In

addition, many acetals have poor shelflife due to their acid-sensitive nature. Moreover, most a methods in the literature for the allylation of acetals only report the synthesis of homo allyl

methyl or ethyl ethers. These compounds are not very amenable to further synthetic

manipulation since the alkyl groupap pended to the homo allyl ether oxygen is an inert methyl or ethyl group. A one-pot procedure utilizing alkoxysilanes allows for the installation of functional groupsthat are more amenable to further synthetic manipulation. This is possible because a wide range of alkoxysilanes is commercially available including benzyloxytrimethylsilane, ethoxytrimethylsilane, and allyloxytrimethylsilane.

We reported the allylation of aldehydes and ketones under mild conditions to yield homo allyl methyl ethers, homo allyl ethyl ethers, homoallyl allyl ethers, and homoallyl benzyl ethers. This protocol was applicable to both aliphatic and aryl aldehydes with low catalyst loadings (1.0-10.0 mol This method is especially attractive because ofthe utilization of %). iron(III) tosylate, an inexpensive and non-corrosive Lewis acid catalyst.

Our grouphas also reported the one-pot synthesis of homoallyl ethers from aldehydes catalyzed by bismuth(III) triflate79 (scheme 1.43). Trialkylorthoforrnatesor alkoxysilanes were employed to generate acetals or oxenium respectively, which can then undergo allylation to yield homoallyl ethers.

25 The one-pot synthesis of homo allyl acetates from aldehydes catalyzed by bismuth triflatehas also been reported (scheme 1.44). This procedure utilized acetic anhydride to generate the corresponding acylals, which canthen undergo allylation to yield homo allyl acetates. Aldehydes with strongly electron-donating groups (p-methoxy) underwent diallylation under the reaction conditions. The use of a relatively non-corrosive and non-toxic catalyst coupled with the wide availability of aldehydes makesthi s an attractive route to homo allyl acetates

addition of reagents (scheme 1.47). When TiC14 was employed as the Lewis acid,

regioselectivity was dependent on the order of addition of allyltrimethylsilane and TiC14. When AICh and SnC14 were used, isomer 4 was the major product (1 :99, 3:4). They also reported that the allylation did not proceed with TMSOTf as the catalyst and allyltrimethylsilane as the allyl

source. Instead, allyltributyltin, a highly toxic organotin reagent, was necessary to afford the

desired allylated product under these conditions.

The allylation of 1,3-dioxolanes catalyzed by Sn(OTf)2 in the presence of alkoxysilanes has been reported86 (scheme 1.51). This synthesis yielded homo allyl ethers as a result of exchange between the alkoxysilane and the 1,3-dioxolane. The authors propose that the allylation of the acyclic acetal resulting fromthe exchange is faster than the allylation of the cyclic acetal. This reaction was applicable to a number of aliphatic and aryl dioxolanes in good yields, but a stoichiometric catalyst loading was necessary.

This method utilized allyl borates as the source of the allyl group. The allyl borate reagents are not commercially available and must be synthesized in lab. A corrosive catalyst (TMSOTf) was employed in stoichiometric quantities and low temperature conditions were required (-78 °C). In a few cases, an alcohol byproduct arising from reduction of the cyclic acetal under the reaction conditions was also isolated in significantyield.

30 diastereoselectivity was much lower when allyltrimethylsilane was employed (56:1). The use of a corrosive Ti-based catalyst and a toxic organotincompound in superstoichiometric amounts detracts from the utility of this method.

The lack of a highly catalytic, widely applicable, and environmentally-friendlymetho d for the allylation of cyclic acetals prompted us to explore the bismuth(III) triflate-catalyzed allylation of cyclic acetals. The development of greener methods for allylation chemistry is of particularrelevance because of increasing environmental concernsand the importanceof carbon- carbon bond forming reactions in organic synthesis. Bismuth-based Lewis acids are particularly attractive in this respect because they are relatively non-toxic, non-corrosive, and inexpensive.

31 II. Results and Discussion

A. Allylation of 1,3-Dioxolanes followed by Derivitization with Acid Anhydrides in situ Catalyzed by Bismuth(III) Triflate

The lack of a highly catalytic and environmentally benign method for the ring-opening allylation of 1,3-dioxolanes (scheme 2.1) prompted our interest in investigating the utility of bismuth(III) triflateas a catalyst for this transformation. In contrast to the Hosomi-Sakurai allylation of aldehydes62, 76-79 and acyclic acetals63-7S, the allylation of cyclic acetals has received very little attention.

Scheme 2.1

�x Catalyst Solvent

Bismuth triflatewas not anef fective catalyst for the allylation of 1 ,3-dioxolanes to yield the expected alcohol products (scheme 2.2). Instead, a mixture of starting material and the corresponding aldehyde was isolated.

32 It was reasoned that one way to push the reaction mightbe to trap the putative alkoxide intermediate that results fromaddi tion of the allyl group withan electrophile (scheme 2.3). This method would represent a multicomponent reaction in which the alkoxide is derivatized in a one- pot process.

Attempts to capture the alkoxide with trimethylsilylchloride orp-toluenesul fonic anhydride were unsuccessful(s cheme 2.4). In both cases, a mixture of starting material and aldehyde was obtained.

Gratifyingly, we were able to trap the alkoxide intermediate with acetic anhydride (scheme 2.5), a protocol that allowed for the synthesis of highly functionalized esters in a one-

33 pot process. There are no literature reports for the allylation of cyclic acetals involving an in situ derivatization of the alkoxide, and thus, this new procedure is especially attractive. Such multi component reactions reduce the time and number of steps associated with a synthesis because isolation of intermediates is unnecessary.

An efficient one-pot procedure for the synthesis of highly functionalized ester products was thus developed.89 The protocol was applied to the allylation of a number of aryl and aliphatic dioxolanes (table 2.1).

Although the initial work was performedusing acetonitrile as the solvent, the reactions were also found to proceed smoothly under solvent-freeconditi ons. This reduces the amount of waste associated with the reaction. Products were initially isolated by aqueous work-up followed by filtration througha silica column. The unacceptably low purity of crude products and the difficultyof removing anhydrides during work-up prompted us to consider a direct filtration of the reaction mixture througha silica gel column. This simple purification eliminates the need for a tedious aqueous work-up and reduces the total amount of organic waste associated with the

synthesis.

This transformation was successfulwith a low catalyst loading (2.0 mol and under %) mild, solvent-freereaction conditions. This contrasts sharply with previous reports in which stoichiometric loadings of corrosive catalysts (TiC14, TMSOTf, SnCI4) were necessary to

35 promote allylation. Reaction times were relatively short (1-4 h), with the exception of aliphatic

dioxolanes which required longer reaction times. All reactions proceeded at 0 0 C andunder mild, solvent-freeconditions. Many methods reported to date require low temperature

conditions (-78 0 C).

Moreover, many of the previous procedures were only applied to a few dioxolanes. Our protocol was amenable to a variety of aliphatic and substituted aryl dioxolanes. Electron-rich aryl dioxolanes underwent allylation with a low catalyst loading (2.0 mol %).

A variety of acid anhydrides such as acetic anhydride, isobutyricanhy dride and trimethylacetic anhydride were successfullyempl oyed for the in situ derivatization of the alkoxide intermediate. However, the yield of the product dropped with use of hindered anhydrides. Thus, structural diversity can be introduced into the ester product by altering both the dioxolane and acid anhydride utilized. Furthermore, the highly functionalizedproduct is formed via a one-pot procedure from commercially available or readily accessible dioxolane starting materials.

Attempts to apply the protocol to the allylation of 1,3-dioxolanes derived fromketones were unsuccessful. A mixture of starting material and acetophenone was isolated when the 1,3- dioxolane derived fromacetophenone was subjected to the established reaction conditions (scheme 2.6).

B. Mechanistic Studies on the Bismuth(IH) Triflate-CatalyzedAllylation of Dioxolanes

In order to determine the mechanism by which bismuth(III) triflateis catalyzing the allylation of dioxolanes, a number of control experiments were performed (scheme 2.7). Though it was hypothesized that bismuth triflate is acting as a Lewis acid, it is also possible that the reaction is protic acid catalyzed. Triflic acid generated in solution by the hydrolysis of bismuth triflatecould potentially be catalyzing the allylation of dioxolanes.

As was already established, the allylation of 2-(2-bromophenyl)-1 ,3-dioxolane catalyzed by bismuth triflate(2.0 mol proceeded to completion in an hour. The allylation does not %) proceed in the absence of a catalyst. When triflicacid (5.0 mol was used as a catalyst for the %) allylation, a mixture of desired product and aldehyde was detected by GC analysis of the reaction mixture.

The bismuth triflate-catalyzed allylation was also conducted in the presence of 1,8-

(dimethylamino)napthalene (Proton Sponge™)90 (figure 2.1).

37 Figure 2.1 (CH�H3)' ProtonVU Sponge ™ 1 ,8-bis( dimethylamino)napthalene

Under these conditions, no product or aldehyde was observed by GC. While this mightsuggest

that the reaction is protic acid catalyzed, it is also possible that the amino functionalities of 1,8- (dimethyl amino )napthalene are strongly coordinating to bismuth triflate, rendering it unable to

catalyze the reaction. More studies arenecessa ry to determine bismuth triflate's role in catalyzing the allylation of dioxolanes.

C. Allylation of 1,3-Dioxanes followed by Derivitization with Acid Anhydrides in situ Catalyzed by Bismuth(III) Triflate

When compared to the allylation of 1,3-dioxolanes, there is very little precedent for the allylation of 1 ,3-dioxanes in the literature. Furthermore, the established methods utilize stoichiometric quantities of corrosive catalysts (TiCI4/Ti(O-i-Pr)4 or TMSOTf). Hunter and coworkers utilized allyl borates as the source of the allyl group87 (scheme 1.52). These compounds must be prepared in lab, detracting from the utility of this procedure. Denmark and coworkers utilized a large excess (8 eq) of allyltrimethylsilane or the highlytoxic allyltributylstannane as the allyl source88 (scheme 1.53). Thus, our goal was to apply the previously developed allylation methodology to the allylation of 1,3-dioxanes. This would constitute the firstcatalytic allylation of 1,3-dioxanes reported in the literature.

39 The previously developed procedure was applied to the allylation of a number of aryl and aliphatic 1,3-dioxanes (table 2.2). Thoughthe acetal center is more electron-rich in dioxanes than dioxolanes as supported by J3C NMR data, the allylations all proceeded to completion with a low catalyst loading (2.0 mol In all cases, acetic anhydride was used to derivatize the %). alkoxides in situ. The resulting functionalized esters were isolated in moderate to good yields.

D. AUylation of 1,3-Dithianes followed by Derivitization with Acid Anhydrides in situ Catalyzed by Bismuth(III) Triflate

1,3-Dithianes have received significant attention in the literature as protecting groups for carbonyl compounds.80 Also, their application in the "Umpolung" chemistry pioneered by Seebach and Corey is well precedented91 (scheme 2.9).

41 Dithianes can be also be potentially converted to other usefulfunctional group s. To date, there has been no report of a Hosomi-Sakurai type allylation of dithianes to yield functionalized

This total lack of literature precedent for the allylation of 1,3-dithianes prompted our interest in extending the established bismuth(III) triflate catalyzed allylationmet hodology to this

functionality. A one-pot allylation and in situ derivatization of 1 ,3-dithianes with acid anhydrides would constitute an efficient synthesis of functionalized thioesters (scheme 2.11).

However, by using a protocol similar to the allylation of dioxolanes and dioxanes, the thiolate intermediatewas successfullytrapp ed with acetic anhydride to yield the corresponding

corresponding thioesters in moderate to good yields (table 2.4).

The allylation of 1,3-dithianes proceeded smoothly under mild, solvent-freeconditions with low

catalyst loadings (2.0 -10.0 mol %). Although allylation of dioxolanes and dioxanes proceeded

43 with a 2.0 mol % loading of bismuth (III) trifiate, electron-rich aryl dithianes and aliphatic dithianes required more catalyst (4.0 - 10.0 mol %) for the reactions to proceed to completion.

To the best of our knowledge, this procedure represents the firstexample ofthe application of 1,3-dithianes as substrates for the Hosomi-Sakurai reaction. Furthermore, the method utilizes a non-toxic and non-corrosive catalyst and solvent-free conditions.

Conclusions

A robust and highly catalytic method for the allylation and in situ derivatization of a number of cyclic acetals (dioxolanes, dioxanes, and dithianes) has been developed. There has been little precedent in the literature for the allylation ofthese functionalities. Most reagents used to date for the allylation of cyclic acetals are highly corrosive or toxic and are often required in stoichiometric amounts. In contrast, the use of a relatively non-toxic and non­ corrosive bismuth(III) based catalyst and the lack of anaqueous waste stream make the developed methodology environmentally benign and attractive.

44 III. Experimental

A. General Experimental:

Bismuth(III) triflate was purchased from Aldrich Chemical Company and stored under vacuum.

Allyltrimethylsilane was purchased from Acros Chemical Company or Aldrich Chemical Company. Acetic anhydride was purchased from Fisher Scientific. Dioxanes and dithianes were prepared in lab following procedures developed in our group or literature protocols.80 Products were analyzed using a lEOL Eclipse NMR Spectrometer at 270 MHz for lH NMR and 67.5 MHz for I3C NMR in CDCb as the solvent. GC analysis was performed on a Varian CP-3800

Gas Chromatograph equipped with a 30 m silica-packed column with a diameter of 0.25 mm (Conditions: hold at 100 °C for 1 min; ramp at 30 °C/min until 220 °c ; hold at 220 °C; flowrate; 2.0 mL/min of He). Thin-layer Chromatography was performed on alumina backed silica gel plates.
