Abstract
Julia-Kocienski olefination has been successfully employed to convert carbonyl compounds into the corresponding Boc-protected 1,3-pentadienyl amines in a C4N homologation process. Good to excellent yields are achieved in THF using MHMDS as base to deprotonate the precursor 1-phenyl-1H-tetrazol-5-ylsulfone reagent. The nature of the metallic countercation dramatically affects the stereoselectivity of the newly formed alkene: good levels of 2E,4E-stereoselectivity are achieved using KHMDS whereas LiHMDS gives a predominance of the 2E,4Z-dienyl product.

Preparation of tert -Butyl ( E )-4-(1-Phenyl-1 H -tetrazol-5-ylsulfonyl)but-2-enyl Carbamate (11) To a solution of the sulfide 10 (7 g, 15.6 mmol) and Mo7O24 (NH4)6˙4H2O (5.8 g, 4.7 mmol) in MeOH (130 mL) was added 30% aq H2O2 (48.3 mL, 468 mmol) at r.t. The solution was stirred for 1 h, and then sat. aq Na2S2O7 solution was added to quench the excess of peroxide. After a stirring for 45 min at r.t., the reaction mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3 × 100 mL), dried (NaSO4), and concentrated in vacuo; purification by silica flash column chromatography (PE-EtOAc, 1:1) gave the title sulfone 11 (5.6 g, 95%) as a white solid, mp 86 ˚C; R f = 0.56 (PE-EtOAc, 1:1). ¹H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 1.43 (s, 9 H, t-Bu), 3.77 (m, 2 H, CH2-1), 4.41 (d, J = 7.5 Hz, 2 H, CH2-4), 4.63 (br s, 1 H, NH), 5.29-6.04 (m, 1 H, H-2), 6.00 (dt, J = 15.0, 7.5 Hz, 1 H, H-3), 7.57-7.60 (m, 5 H, Ar). ¹³C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 28.7, 42.2, 59.5, 81.5, 114.5, 125.5, 130.0, 131.8, 133.3, 141.1, 153.4, 155.9.

16The Julia-Kocienski olefination is normally trans-selective due to the kinetically controlled and irreversible addition of metallated PT-sulfones to aldehydes preferentially generating anti-β-alkoxysulfones, which then undergo Smile rearrangement. [¹0] [¹¹] In the present study, it would appear that LiHMDS preferentially generates syn-β-alkoxysulfones resulting in a predominance of the E,Z-adducts. The reasons for this unexpected switch are not fully understood at the present time but further studies are in progress to shed light on this interesting observation.

To as stirred solution of
PT-sulfone 11 (45 mg, 0.12 mmol, 1.2 equiv)
in THF (1.4 mL) was added LiHMDS (0.26 mL 1.0 M in THF, 0.26 mmol,
2.55 equiv), or KHMDS (0.52 mL, 0.5 M in toluene, 0.26 mmol, 2.55
equiv), at -78 ˚C. In the KHMDS case,
18-crown-6 (34 mg, 0.13 mmol, 1.2 equiv) was also present at the
outset. After 1.5 h at the same temperature, the orange mixture
was added to benzaldehyde (10.6 mg, 0.1 mmol, 1.0 equiv) in THF
(0.9 mL) at -78 ˚C via cannula. The mixture
was stirred at -78 ˚C for 1.5 h and then
for 1 h at r.t. After quenching with brine (3 mL) and stirring at
r.t. for 10 min, the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (3 × 8
mL). The combined organic phases were dried over MgSO4 and
concentrated in vacuo. Purification was performed via flash chromatography
on SiO2 using mixtures of PE and EtOAc as eluent to afford
the product alkenes as mixtures of their 2E,4E/2E,4Z isomers (ratio was determined by ¹H
NMR spectroscopy).
