Titanocene catalyzed 4-exo cyclizations: Mechanism, experiment, catalyst design
A method for the preparation of a variety of cyclobutanes via 4-exo cyclization of radicals is presented. Radical generation is carried out by electron transfer from titanocene(III) chlorides to epoxides. The reaction relies on the acceleration of the cyclization through the use of alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds as radical traps and the thermodynamic stabilization of the cyclobutylcarbinyl radicals through conjugation. The mechanism of the transformation was investigated by a combined theoretical and experimental study. The computational results provide the crucial energetic and structural features of pertinent intermediates and transition structures. Moreover, the origins of the diastereoselectivity of the 4-exo cyclization are outlined for the first time. Catalysts for those cases where “Cp2TiCl” did not perform in a satisfactory manner have been devised. Through the introduction of tert-butyl or cyclo-hexyl substituted cyclopentadienyl ligands the longevity of the pivotal beta-titanoxy radicals is increased sufficiently enough to enable the slow but often surprisingly diastereoselective formation of the cyclobutylcarbinyl radical. The resulting transformation constitutes the first general approach to cyclobutanes using radical chemistry.
I hope this article can help some friends in scientific research. I am very proud of our efforts over the past few months and hope to 1271-19-8, help many people in the next few years.category: catalyst-ligand
