DBU-Promoted Elimination Reactions of Vicinal Dibromoalkanes Mediated by Adjacent O-Functional Groups, and Applications to the Synthesis of Biologically Active Natural Products

Abstract
Regioselective elimination reactions of 1,2-dibromoalkanes possessing aryloxy or acyloxy groups at the C-3 position can be carried out under mild basic conditions to produce the corresponding 2-bromo-1-alkenes. The regioselectivity of these processes is controlled by the acidity enhancement of hydrogens at C-2 caused by the inductive electron-withdrawing effects of substituents at C-3. A similar acidity enhancement of the hydrogens at C-1 causes selective DBU-promoted, two-step transformations of 1,2-dibromoalkanes to alkyne derivatives. The 2-bromo-1-alkenes and alkynes, readily prepared using these regioselective elimination reactions, have been employed as key intermediates in the synthesis of biologically active natural products.
