Stereoselective Preparation of Homo- and Hetero-1,1-Dihalo-1-alkenes

Abstract

Metallate rearrangements performed on 5-lithio-2,3-dihydrofuran 1 gave access to several homo- and hetero-1,1-bimetallated (or pseudo) alkenes 3 upon exposure to a cyanocuprate and quench with an electrophilic reagent Ε X. After metal/halogen exchange, several homo- or hetero-1,1-dihalo-1-alkenes were prepared stereospecifically and in good yields.

Preparation of Z -7: A solution of the 5-lithio-2,3-dihydro-furan derivative 1 (2.5 mmol) [9] in THF (4 mL) was added, via cannula, to the solution of the bis-(trimethylsilyl) dilithio-cyanocuprate [15] at -30 °C (2.75 mmol, 1.1 equiv) in THF-Et₂O (6 mL/12 mL). The mixture was stirred at -5 °C to 0 °C for 1.5 h. The mixture was then cooled at -40 °C and Bu₃SnCl (4 equiv) was added. The temperature was allowed to rise to 0 °C over 1 h, stirring was maintained for 4 h, while the temperature rose to 20 °C. The reaction mixture was poured into a solution of saturated aqueous NH₄Cl/concentrated ammonia (4:1) at 0 °C and stirred for 30 min before extraction with diethyl ether. After purification by chromatography on silica gel compound Z -7 was obtained in 86% yield.
