Abstract
Allylic gallium and indium reagents are found to mediate radical allylation reactions of α-iodo or α-bromo carbonyl compounds. Treatment of benzyl bromoacetate with allylgallium, prepared from allylmagnesium chloride and gallium trichloride, in the presence of triethylborane provided benzyl 4-pentenoate in excellent yield. Addition of water as a co-solvent improved the yields of allylated products. Allylic indium reagents are also useful and can replace the gallium reagents. A diallylborane reagent can allylate an α-iodo ester in good yield. Alkenylation reactions of α-halo carbonyl compounds with alkenylindium proceeded via a radical process in the presence of triethylborane. Unactivated alkene moieties and styryl groups were introduced by this method. The carbon-carbon double bond geometry of the alkenylindiums was retained during the alkenylation. Preparation of an alkenylindium via a hydroindation of 1-alkyne and subsequent radical alkenylation established an efficient one-pot strategy. Radical alkynylations and phenylations with organoindium reagents are disclosed herein.
