The regio- and stereospecific intermolecular dehydrative alkoxylation of allylic alcohols catalyzed by a gold(I) N-heterocyclic carbene complex.


ABSTRACT: A 1:1 mixture of [AuCl(IPr)] (IPr = 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidine) and AgClO(4) catalyzes the intermolecular dehydrative alkoxylation of primary and secondary allylic alcohols with aliphatic primary and secondary alcohols to form allylic ethers. These transformations are regio- and stereospecific with preferential addition of the alcohol nucleophile at the ?-position of the allylic alcohol syn to the departing hydroxyl group and with predominant formation of the E stereoisomer. The minor ? regioisomer is formed predominantly through a secondary reaction manifold involving regioselective ?-alkoxylation of the initially formed allylic ether rather than by the direct ?-alkoxylation of the allylic alcohol.

These transformations are regio- and stereospecific with preferential addition of the alcohol nucleophile at the γ-position of the allylic alcohol syn to the departing hydroxyl group and with predominant formation of the E stereoisomer  ...[more]
