摘要:
A process for the preparation of compounds of the general formula (3) or (8) which comprises reacting a compound (1) having an electron-withdrawing group with a compound (2) or (7) in the presence of both a catalyst comprising a compound containing a member selected from among Group 5 to 9 elements of the periodic table and oxygen. According to this process, compounds having alkyl or alkenyl at the α-position to the electron-withdrawing group or derivatives thereof can be prepared efficiently via catalytic radical addition. (1) (2) (7) (8) (wherein Y is an electron-withdrawing group; Rb to Rj are each hydrogen or an organic group; and Z is hydrogen or hydroxyl, or alternatively, Y, R?b, and Rc; Rd to Rg¿; and/or R?i and Rj¿ together with the carbon atom(s) adjacent thereto may form a ring.)
摘要:
Catalysts comprising imide compounds having N-substituted cyclic imide skeletons as represented by the general formula (I) [wherein R is a hydroxyl-protecting group]. R is preferably a hydrolyzable protective group, e.g., a group derived by removing OH from an acid such as carboxylic acid, sulfonic acid, carbonic acid, carbamic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, or boric acid. The catalysts may be constituted of the imide compounds and metal compounds. The reaction of (A) a radical forming compound with (B) a radical scavenging compound in the presence of a catalyst described above can give a product of addition or substitution of the compound (A) with the compound (B) or a derivative thereof. The catalysts enable the production of organic compounds by addition, substitution, or the like under mild conditions with high selectivity in high yield.
摘要:
A process of reacting (A) a compound capable of forming a stable radical which is selected from among (A1) oxygen compounds having carbon-hydrogen bonds at the position adjacent to the oxygen atom, (A2) carbonyl compounds and (A3) compounds having hydrocarbon groups bearing methyne carbon with (B) a radical-scavenging compound selected from among (B1) unsaturated compounds, (B2) compounds having hydrocarbon groups bearing methyne carbon, and so on in the presence of molecular oxygen by the use of an imide catalyst represented by general formula (1) or the like to thereby obtain an adduct of the compound (B) with the compound (A), a product of substitution of the compound (B) with the compound (A), or oxides of both. In said formula, R?1 and R2¿ are each hydrogen or the like, or alternatively R?1 and R2¿ may be united to form a double bond or an aromatic or nonaromatic ring; and X is oxygen or hydroxyl. This process makes it possible to efficiently produce various organic compounds under mild conditions through addition or substitution by the use of molecular oxygen.
