Abstract

N-Heterocyclic carbene catalyzed carbonyl umpolung reaction of aldehydes with Baylis-Hillman (BH) bromides as activated halides were realized for the first time. This intermolecular cross-coupling reaction features the easily available catalyst and mild reaction conditions to provide α-arylidene- γ-keto esters in excellent yields for a wide range of substrates. Thus, the present work opens up a new aspect of the synthetic utility of BH adducts via the reactivity umpolung of aldehydes.

Key words

N-heterocyclic carbenes - umpolung - acyl anion - Baylis-Hillman bromides - α-arylidene- γ-keto esters

General Procedure for the Synthesis of α-Arylidene-γ-keto Esters 4
A flame-dried round-bottom flask was charged with benzimidazolium salt 3c (0.25 mmol), aldehyde 1 (1.0 mmol), and THF (5 mL) under positive pressure of nitrogen followed by addition of DBU (0.25 mmol) with a syringe. After stirring for 10 min at r.t., BH bromide 2 (1.0 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at r.t. for 12-18 h (Table [²] ). After completion of the reaction (the disappearance of 2, monitored by TLC), the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduce pressure. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography using hexane-EtOAc as eluent to afford product 4 in 65-85% yield.
