Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 化學研究所 === 88 === Ketones 1a-e、nitromethane 2 can react with the trapping reagents 4(thiophenol 4a, α-toluenthiol 4b or allyl mercaptan 4c)in the presence of catalytic amount of piperidine 3 to produce β-nitroalkylsulfides(5a-d, 6a-e or 7a-e). By the use of CH2Cl2 as solvent and at 0 ℃, β-nitroalkylsulfides(5a-d, 6a-e or 7a-e)can be oxidized by m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (m-CPBA) 8 to produce β-nitroalkyl sulfoxides(9a-d、10a-e or 11a-e)and subsequently elimination to produce 2,2-disubstituted 1-nitroalkenes 12a-e. The irreversibility of the synthetic mechanism not only could overcome the impracticability of the Henry reaction in the synthesis of 2,2-disubstituted 1-nitroalkenes 12a-b but also could produce the major product "exo-nitroolefins" 12c-e when cyclic ketones were used. By using this improved and easy methodology to prepare 2,2-disubstituted-1-nitroalkenes 12a-e, the yields of the products are medium to high. Under similar reaction conditions 5-substituted adamantan-2-ones 16a-f can also react with 2 in the presence of catalytic amount of piperidine 3 to produce 5-substituted-2-nitromethylene-admantanes 18a-f. 12b-e Also can be produced when β-nitroalkylsulfoxides(9b, 10c, 10d, 11c , and 11e)are treated with dilute aqueous basic solution, but the yields are lower than those of pyrolysis condition.
