easy ketone.ArCH2COCH3
« on: May 17, 2002, 01:48:00 AM »
March's 5th edition page 869,  ...............Hurtley Reaction

ArX  +   CH3COCH3  ----?-----> ArCH2COCH3 + ArCH2CHOHCH3

?=liquid amonia containing Na or K
X= Halide

The text goes on and says that it also occurs under UV-light  when K or Na are omitted. :)

At least that's how I read it.............

Do you think the liquid ammonia could be replaced by an amine ?

So whats the ammonia doing? acting as an solvent ?

There is a reference to this reaction Rossi, R.A.:Bunnett, J.F. J. Org. Chem., 1973,38,3020; Bunnett, J.F.: Gloor, B.F. J.Org. Chem.,1973,38,4156;1974,39,382.

I haven't had a chance to study it clearly that's why I posted it so the bees can work on it along with me.

Good Find, Java!

Great find! But next time, if you would be so kind, copy the entire passage. Upon my looking up this reaction in my copy of March's 5th, I read some additional good info that you did not cite. Here is the entire passage word for word:

Arylation at a Carbon Containing an Active Hydrogen

(uninteresting paragraph)

* * *

"The reaction on unactivated halides can also be done with copper halide catalysts (the Hurtley Reaction), and with palladium complex catalysts. Compounds of the form CH3Z can be arylated by treatment with an aryl halide in liquid ammonia containing Na or K, for example (it gives this specific example):

ArX + CH3COCH3 ==NH3/K==> ArCH2COCH3 + ArCH2CH(OH)CH3

The same products are obtained, although in different proportions, when Na or K is omitted but the solution is irradiated with near-UV light. In either case other leaving groups can be used instead of halogens (e.g., NR3+, SAr) and the mechanism is the SRN1 mechanism. Iron(II) salts have also been used to initiate this reaction."

OrgSyn V, 12, 263; VI, 36, 873, 928; VII, 229.

And other ref's for many of these statements contained in the passage can be supplied by request, and one of us can type them later.

Shure thing, yield is not great in first step, lead is toxic and not enviromentally friendly, some reagents are not quite OTC at the first shot, still... if you take benzo-1,3-dioxole as aryl and ethyl acetoacetate as beta-dicarbonyl, then potential product looks like useful one.  :)

Enolate synthesis
« Reply #5 on: May 17, 2002, 11:43:00 AM »
This is a variation of the so-called 'Drone's enolate synthesis' - the article he compiled on this route can bee found on Rh's site.

To my knowledge, noone has tried it yet, but it's very tempting.

One thing that the synthesis needs to bee investigated/twitched, as there currently exist no 'fully OTC' variation - but the liquid ammonia will surely work.

The closest-to-OTC would bee using UV light - BTW, i have a HyperLab post somewhere in which a guy tells how to make one oneself - real easy (he doesn't know what the energy of such a source would bee, though)

I was reading your comment but I wasn't able to connect it to the reaction at hand, however on section 13-3 of the afore said text March's 5th edition  , there is a section of Aryl substrate to carboxylic acids and their derivatives , aldehydes, and ketones, where lead is indeed called for . I wasn't able to see hoe the reaction you quoted relates........perhaps I'm short sighted.

Perhaps  you misread the reaction as I read it  it doesn't involve any lead and only  benzyl chloride , acetone, and K or Na.  And as quoted  "same product obtained when neither K or Na are used but solution irradiated with near U-V light. There are many OTC approches to benzyl chloride , I see no problem with acetone or a U-V light.  I could be wrong in my assessment  but  this is a forum on the practice of chemistry, a trial an error endevour. :)

Not sure what ammonia does but less sure if it can be substituded for an amide. I'm still looking for the refrences to better understand the mechanism and how it works and what can be substituded, as  I know where you want to go with that.

Thank you for the head's up on the enolate article , I found it very educational and promising. I had no knowledge of the good work drone did on the subject.
Hence to answer many of the questions I recommend the reading  for those interested on this method:

Dear Java, my comment was related to OS link, that was provided, rather than directly to your post.

Anyway SWIM thinks that some look at recent advances in palladium catalysis might make wonders with this enolate arylation problem.

I remember having an article about that rxn being made in some common solvt, catalyzed by PdCl2 and some weird stannic methoxide-thing......

Any other suggestions?

Uh, guess a self-made UV source would sound a lot better for the most :)  ;D .

Damn it, it's so simple - why noone even attempted to try this over the past years?!

Everybody at the Hive always wait for someone else to try something out first. It usually takes about two years for a new excellent idea to take hold, and about as much time for people stop using a stupid or unnecessary procedure.

Many bees still don't know what an A/B is, although me and others are preaching it since 1997!

Acid (and Base) chemistry
« Reply #14 on: January 06, 2004, 07:18:00 PM »
Osmium, I've taken quite a large amount of time trying to prepare several documents to the effect of teaching a few of the newbees some acid-base chemistry.  However, they just don't bother to read them.  I've had several "students" who have excelled with the slightest amount of tutilage, but they made the effort to read the links I provided and research the topics I suggested.  Unfortunately, the majority here still only want to make a buck- they don't want to learn

In any case, here is some basic acid base chemistry and related links for the practical application of those ideals.

More goodies for the enolate curious
« Reply #15 on: February 01, 2004, 10:50:00 PM »
The following data is from a monograph about aromatic substitution via the SRN1 pathway.

From: Aromatic Substitution by the SRN1 Reaction
R. Rossi, et al.

Organic Reactions, Vol. 54, pp. 56-67 (Tbl 2) and 263-269 (Refs)

(https://www.thevespiary.org/rhodium/Rhodium/pdf/archive/srn1.enolate.arylation.pdf)

It so happens that the monograph lists several pages with different reaction conditions where acetone enolate has been used to alkylate almost any aryl halide there is.

Almost all of them uses either K or Na(Hg) in NH3(l) or in DMSO with UV irradiation. A few of them manage to get decent yields in DMSO using ambient light, their trick is to use an aryldiazonium salt instead of an aryl halide.

Here is Drone's original proposition:
