Abstract

Aluminum iodide has been found to promote the efficient and highly stereoselective synthesis of (Z)-β-iodo-α-(hydroxyalkyl)acrylates via one-pot three-component coupling reactions. This new system has made it possible to utilize various ketones as the electrophiles, in order to react with an aluminum allenoate intermediate for the synthesis of β-iodo Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts with high yield and excellent Z-stereoselectivity (>99%).

Key words

Morita-Baylis-Hillman adduct - aluminum iodide - ketones - stereoselectivity - aldol reactions

AlI₃ appeared superior to other metal iodides, such as MgI₂ (79% yield, Z/E = 91:9) or TiI₄ (<10% yield) in terms of Z/E selectivity and chemical yield when using benzaldehyde as the electrophilic acceptor.

The formation of allenoate was expected from the isolation of β-iodo ethyl acrylate after aqueous work-up without adding electrophilic acceptors.

Experimental Procedure: CH₂Cl₂ (2.0 mL) was slowly added to an aluminum iodide (0.22 mmol) at -78 °C under N₂. Ethyl propiolate (0.24 mmol) and the ketone (0.20 mmol) were added sequentially. The reaction was monitored by TLC. After the reaction time indicated in Table [1] , it was quenched with H₂O (2.0 mL) and an aqueous layer was extracted with CH₂Cl₂. The combined organic phase was dried over Na₂SO₄ and the solvent was removed under vacuum. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (CH₂Cl₂-hexane 3:1) to provide a pure product.
