The Twelve Principles of Green Chemistry

1. Prevention: It is better to prevent waste than to treat or clean up waste after it has been created.

2. Atom Economy: Synthetic methods should be designed to maximize the incorporation of all materials used in the process into the final product.

3. Less Hazardous Chemical Syntheses: Wherever practicable, synthetic methods should be designed to use and generate substances that possess little or no toxicity to human health and the environment.

4. Designing Safer Chemicals: Chemical products should be designed to effect their desired function while minimizing their toxicity.

5. Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries: The use of auxiliary substances (e.g., solvents, separation agents, etc.) should be made unnecessary wherever possible and innocuous when used.

6. Design for Energy Efficiency: Energy requirements of chemical processes should be recognized for their environmental and economic impacts and should be minimized. If possible, synthetic methods should be conducted at ambient temperature and pressure.

7. Use of Renewable Feedstocks: A raw material or feedstock should be renewable rather than depleting whenever technically and economically practicable.

8. Reduce Derivatives: Unnecessary derivatization (use of blocking groups, protection/deprotection, temporary modification of physical/chemical processes) should be minimized or avoided if possible, because such steps require additional reagents and can generate waste.

9. Catalysis: Catalytic reagents (as selective as possible) are superior to stoichiometric reagents.

10. Design for Degradation: Chemical products should be designed so that at the end of their function they break down into innocuous degradation products and do not persist in the environment.

11. Real-time analysis for Pollution Prevention: Analytical methodologies need to be further developed to allow for real-time, in-process monitoring and control

111

prior to the formation of hazardous substances.

12. Inherently Safer Chemistry for Accident Prevention: Substances and the form of a substance used in a chemical process should be chosen to minimize the potential for chemical accidents, including releases, explosions, and fires.

Cyclic acetals (dioxolanes, dioxanes, and dithianes) are common protecting groups in

organic synthesis but they can also be converted to other useful functional groups. A

bismuth(III) triflate-catalyzed multi component reaction involving the allylation of cyclic acetals

followed by in situ derivatization with acid anhydrides to generate highly functionalized esters

and thioesters has been developed under solvent-free conditions. Most reagents used to date for

the allylation of cyclic acetals are highly corrosive or toxic and are often required in

stoichiometric amounts. In contrast, the use of a relatively non-toxic and non-corrosive

bismuth(III) based catalyst makes this methodology benign and attractive.

I. Introduction

A. Green Chemistry

The contributions ofthe phannaceutical industry, especially via synthetic organic

chemistry, to medicine have significantly improved the quality and length of human life. The

synthesis and commercial development of countless compounds now allow for the treatment of

diseases that have otherwise overwhelmed mankind. Over the past century, the discovery of

antibiotics and new medicines has contributed to prolonging the average human life span by

nearly thirty years.! The development of new fertilizers and pesticides has allowed for more

bountiful harvests. Despite the vast achievements of the chemical industry, the massive

amounts of hazardous waste produced cannot be ignored, especially when considering current

environmental issues and the hazards presented to human health. For example, in 1 984 a Union

Carbide pesticide plant in Bhopal, India released 42 tons of methyl isocyanate? Nearly 1 5,000

people have lost their lives as result of this toxic gas leak and many others have suffered health

problems due to exposure. Environmental drinking water contamination has also been a major

issue in the aftermath of the disaster.

The United States Congress has passed many laws to help reduce the amount of chemical

waste released into the environment. The most significant of these is the "Pollution Prevention

Act" (PP A) passed in 1 990.3 The PP A provides guidelines and laws on pollution prevention

through the proper use and disposal of chemicals. Also, source reduction and prevention have

been stressed in this legislation. The government tracks the production and release of toxic

chemical waste in the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI).4 In 2006, the TRI indicated that the

chemical industry ranks third in the amount of waste released by sector (figure 1 . 1 ) . The only

1

Page 11: Green Chemistry Using Bismuth Compounds: Bismuth(III

industries that produce and release more waste are the relatively large metal mining and

electricity sectors.

Food

Therefore, chemists need to be more concerned with pollution in terms of hazardous

waste being released into the environment. This has prompted synthetic organic chemists to

consider developing environmentally friendly chemistry or Green Chemistry. Green Chemistry

involves the design of chemical syntheses and processes that are more environmentally friendly,

reduce waste production, and avoid use of toxic reagents.2 The main goal of green chemistry is

to minimize the use of toxic chemicals by finding safe, effective alternatives. This type of

developmental strategy is an efficient way to reduce the chemical waste associated with a

synthesis. Also, avoiding the use of toxic and corrosive reagents makes synthesis much safer for

the chemists involved. The risk associated with the use of a chemical can be expressed as a

function of both hazard and exposure (eq. 1 . 1 )?

2

Page 12: Green Chemistry Using Bismuth Compounds: Bismuth(III

Equation 1.1

Risk = f [hazard, exposure]

Past strategies of reducing risk have involved limiting exposure to dangerous chemicals

by taking safety precautions and exercising especial care when handling reagents. This strategy

can be an effective way of increasing safety if exposure can truly be limited. However, due to

human error and faults in protective laboratory equipment, exposure control measures often fail.

Therefore, the Green Chemistry approach is to lower hazards by using inherently less toxic or

non-toxic reagents. This reduces risk associated with syntheses and reduces hazardous waste

overall. This concept can be accomplished through the practice of Green Chemistry where

information about toxicity of chemicals is utilized to lower hazard and reduce waste. This has

particular relevance to synthetic organic chemistry, a field in which many toxic, corrosive and

difficult to dispose of chemicals continue to be used in large quantities.

One concept that can be used to reduce the amount of waste associated with a chemical

synthesis is atom economy. Atom economy is a measure of the percent by mass of reactants that

end up in the desired product, and hence, is a good indication of the amount of waste material

associated with a process. The solvents and catalysts necessary for a synthesis are not

considered. This concept was introduced by Trost in 1 99 1 .5

Equation 1.2

A E Molecular Weight of desired product 1 0 Of tom conomy = x 070

Molecular Weight of all reactants

Many synthetic methods currently used yield byproducts that increase the amount of

waste associated with a synthesis. Also, if the byproducts are toxic this makes waste disposal

Page 13: Green Chemistry Using Bismuth Compounds: Bismuth(III

more difficult and costly. The Wittig synthesis of alkenes produces one equivalent of

triphenylphosphine oxide as a byproduct for every equivalent of alkene formed (scheme 1 . 1 ).

Scheme 1.1

o A +

o II

+ Ph/�'Ph Ph

In contrast to the Wittig reaction, a classic example of an atom-economic reaction is the Diels-

Alder cycloaddition. All of the atoms present in the diene and dienophile are present in the final

cyclized product. Thus, the only chemical waste involved with this synthesis comes from any

necessary solvents or catalysts (scheme 1 .2).

Scheme 1.2

R (j heat

The design of atom-economic processes allows for reduction of the amount of raw materials

needed and a decrease in waste generated. Thus, designing syntheses with this principal in mind

could drastically reduce the amount of waste produced by the chemical industry while also

reducing costs.

The concept of E (environmental) factor was introduced by Roger Sheldon in 1 992 to evaluate

the environmental impact of chemical processes.6a The E factor is defined in terms of the

amount waste associated with a process and the amount of desired product produced (eq. 1 .3).

4

Page 14: Green Chemistry Using Bismuth Compounds: Bismuth(III

Equation 1.3

E fi mass oj waste produced

actor = __ ---"-__ ----0... ___ _

mass of product produced

The E factor can be determined for either an individual chemical process or an entire

industrial sector. Sheldon determined the E factors for a number of different chemical industries

(table 1 . 1 ). He found that the E factors associated with fine chemical and pharmaceutical

synthesis were relatively high when compared with more efficient industries, such as oil refining

and bulk chemical synthesis. Production of waste on such a grand scale poses a major

environmental concern and also hurts the cost effectiveness of numerous commercial processes.

Table 1.1: E Factors of Various Chemical Industries

Industry Sector Product produced (Tons) E Factor (kg waste/kg product)

Oil refining 1 06_ 108 < 0 . 1

Bulk chemicals 1 04_ 106 < 1 - 5

Fine chemicals 1 02 _ 104 5 - 50

Pharmaceuticals 1 0- 1 03 25 - 1 00

The importance of considering E factors and other Green Chemistry metrics becomes

readily apparent when considering synthetic processes that generate large amounts of waste. In

the early 1 980s, Oce Andeno closed a plant responsible for the synthesis ofphloroglucino1.6b

Phloroglucinol is used as a raw material for the synthesis of explosives and pharmaceuticals.

Closure of the plant was necessary because the cost of disposing of the waste associated with the

synthesis was approaching the profits associated with the sale of phloroglucinol. The synthetic

strategy employed at Oce Andeno involved the oxidation of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) with

5

Page 15: Green Chemistry Using Bismuth Compounds: Bismuth(III

potassium dichromate in fuming sulfuric acid6c (scheme 1 .3). This was followed by reduction of

the nitro substituents with iron and hydrochloric acid and an in situ decarboxylation. Heating an

acidic solution of the resulting 1 ,3,5-triaminobenzene yielded phloroglucinol.

phloroglucinol

The E factor for this process was determined by Sheldon to be 40. Thus, for every kg of

phloroglucinol produced, 40 kg of solid waste containing Cr2(S04h FeCh, KHS04, and NH4Cl

was generated. The cost associated with the disposal of this waste made the process impractical

and resulted in the eventual closing of the Oce Andeno plant.

Though Sheldon's E factor is a good indication of the relative amount of waste produced

by a given process or industry, the nature of the waste produced should also be taken into

account when evaluating synthetic viability. A kilogram of sodium chloride or a similarly

benign salt is not equivalent to a kilogram of a toxic compound such as a tin salt when

considering the environmental implications of chemical waste disposal. All of these factors

should be considered collectively when designing Green Chemistry processes.

Page 16: Green Chemistry Using Bismuth Compounds: Bismuth(III

The approach to environmentally friendly chemistry in our laboratory utilizes non-toxic

reagents that are highly catalytic in nature. It is in this context that bismuth compounds are very

attractive as catalysts and reagents in organic synthesis.

B. Bismuth Compounds

Bismuth, the 83rd element in the periodic table, has a natural abundance of 0.008 ppm in

the Earth's crust and 0.0002 ppm in sea water.7 It is a soft, crystalline metal with a whitish-pink

hue. Bismuth is the heaviest stable element and the most diamagnetic element known.

Bismuth is a remarkable element because despite its proximity on the periodic table to

toxic heavy metals such as lead and antimony, it is relative non-toxic. Due to their non-toxicity,

bismuth compounds have found numerous applications in cosmetics and medicine. For example,

the active ingredient in the anti-diarrheal medication Pepto-Bismol™ is bismuth subsalicylate

(figure 1.2). Bismuth sub citrate is the only compound known to be active against Helicobacter

pylori, a bacterium that cause ulcers.8 Bismuth sub nitrate is used in medicine as a wound

dressing and as a component in ointment for inflamed skin. Cosmetically, bismuth oxychloride

is used to impart a shimmering effect to various makeup products. Bismuth is an

environmentally friendly alternative to lead as the main component of shotgun cartridges used

for waterfowl hunting.

Page 17: Green Chemistry Using Bismuth Compounds: Bismuth(III

With increasing focus on developing environmentally friendly synthesis methods,

bismuth compounds have also been used as catalysts in synthetic organic chemistry. Bismuth

compounds have several attractive features in this respect.

There is no evidence to date to suggest that bismuth compounds are carcinogenic or

mutagenic.9 The remarkable non-toxicity of bismuth compounds has earned bismuth the

distinction of a "Green" element. IO This non-toxicity is primarily due to their insolubility in

neutral aqueous solutions such as biological fluids. Bismuth compounds are poorly soluble in

the blood plasma and are readily excreted via the urinary tract. The non-toxicity of bismuth's

compounds is evident from a comparison of LD50 values for a range of common Lewis acids

(table 1 .2). As can be seen from table 1 .2, most bismuth compounds are even less toxic than

sodium chloride. Even organobismuth compounds such as triphenylbismuthine are remarkably

non-toxic.

Despite the fact that bismuth is not common in the Earth's crust, bismuth compounds are

relatively inexpensive. This is because bismuth is a byproduct of lead, copper and tin refining.

Many bismuth(III) compounds are commercially available at a low cost (table 1 .3), which makes

bismuth compounds even more attractive as potential catalysts.

Although the hydrolysis of Bi(III) salts in water has been reported (this is discussed in

more detail later, see scheme 1 .36), bismuth compounds are relatively stable and tolerate small

amounts of air and moisture. This contrasts sharply with moisture-sensitive Lewis acid reagents

and catalysts, such as BF3·Et20 and TiC14, that must be handled under an inert atmosphere to

ensure safety and viability of the reagent.

The electron configuration of bismuth is [Xe]4/45io6i6p3 . On account of weak

shielding by the 4f electrons (Lanthanide contraction) bismuth(III) compounds exhibit Lewis

Page 19: Green Chemistry Using Bismuth Compounds: Bismuth(III

acidity. Thus, bismuth(III) compounds can be utilized as potential Lewis acidic catalysts for

organic synthesis.

Bismuth can also exist in the +5 oxidation state. Organobismuth compounds with

bismuth in the +5 oxidation state are known and have been applied in organic synthesis. II

Bismuth(V) compounds are commonly employed as oxidizing agents. Sodium bismuthate has

been used for the benzylic oxidation of aromatic compounds 12 (scheme 1.4).

Triphenylbismuth(V) dichloride has been employed as an oxidizing agent for a variety of

catalysts.33 Likewise, bismuth triflate is the one of the most thoroughly investigated bismuth-

based catalysts.34 Bismuth triflate is a hygroscopic white solid that exists in a hydrated form at

room temperature (Bi(OTt)3'xH20 with 1 < x < 4). Attempts to synthesize the anhydrous salt by

heating Bi(OTt)3'4H20 result in decomposition above temperatures of 100 °C.35 The final

products of this decomposition are BiF3 and H2S04. X-ray powder diffraction35 studies on

Bi(OTt)3 show that the bismuth atom is coordinated to four water molecules and four oxygen

atoms from triflate groups. It was also determined that the tetrahydrate of bismuth triflate

condenses into dimers.

Because ofthe environmentally friendly nature of bismuth salts, bismuth triflate has

received significant attention in the literature. 10, 34 Bismuth triflate has been used as a catalyst for

(scheme 1.28), and quinones48 (scheme 1.29). This rather vast body of literature highlights the

wide applicability and versatility of bismuth triflate as a catalyst in organic synthesis.

Bismuth triflate can be synthesized in the laboratory by a variety of literature methods.

Verma and co-workers were the first to report a synthesis of bismuth triflate from bismuth(III)

Bismuth triflate has also been synthesized by treatment of triphenylbismuth with triflic acidso

(scheme 1 .3 1 ) . This method exploits the weak bismuth-carbon bonds (Bi-C bond: 1 43 KJ/mols1;

C-C bond: 447 KJ/mol) in triphenylbismuth to generate bismuth triflate. This method is not,

however, environmentally friendly because of the formation of three equivalents of benzene, a

known carcinogen.

A greener method for the synthesis of bismuth triflate involves reaction of bismuth oxide

and triflic acid in aqueous ethanols2 (scheme 1 .32). In this procedure, bismuth triflate is isolated

by freeze-drying the solution.

The efficiency of bismuth triflate as a Lewis acid catalyst is especially obvious when it is

compared to other rare-earth triflates that have received considerably more attention in the

literature. Bismuth triflate is reported to be a more effective catalyst for the chlorosulfinylation

of aromatics than other triflatesS3 (scheme 1 .33) . Bismuth triflate was sucessfully employed as a

catalyst for the chlorosulfinylation of electron-rich aromatic compounds in high yields. The use

of other metal triflates, such as scandium triflate and cerium triflate, resulted in significant

amounts of sulfide byproduct 2.

Also, bismuth triflate is a more effective catalyst for the Mukaiyama-aldol reaction37 than

other metal triflates (scheme 1 .34). I-Trimethylsilyloxycyclohexene was successfully coupled

with benzaldehyde with a low loading (1 .0 mol %) of bismuth triflate. Ytterbium(III) triflate and

yttrium(III) triflate were ineffective as catalysts for this reaction.

Bismuth triflate is prone to hydrolysis in water yielding triflic acid (scheme 1 .3 5). Other

rare-earth metal triflates, such as scandium triflate and lanthanum triflate are not hydrolyzed in

water. This unique property of bismuth triflate must be considered while dealing with acid-

sensitive functional groups or proposing reaction mechanisms.

Scheme 1.35

For example, Marko and coworkers have explored the role of triflic acid in the metal

triflate catalyzed acylation of alcohols54 (scheme 1 .36) . It was discovered that the rate of

benzoylation of alcohols catalyzed by bismuth triflate was greatly inhibited when the reaction

was performed in the presence 2,6-di-t-butyl-4-methylpyridine (DTBMP), a very hindered

organic base. Moreover, the reaction was successfully catalyzed using triflic acid. These data

suggest that the acylation of alcohols is actually triflic acid catalyzed. Similar observations have

been made by our group.44

Bismuth triflate can also be used as a catalyst in aqueous solutions. For example, the

The bismuth triflate catalyzed deprotection of acyclic and cyclic acetals in aqueous THF

has also been reported44 (scheme 1 .37). This protocol also applicable to ketals and conjugated

Many reagents and catalysts are destroyed when exposed to small amounts of water.

This makes the use of anhydrous solvents and reagents imperative in many cases. Catalysts and

reagents must often be handled under an inert atmosphere. In contrast, most reactions catalyzed

by bismuth triflate do not require dry solvents or inert atmosphere conditions.

The environmentally friendly nature of bismuth (III) triflate coupled with its ease of

handling and inexpensive nature have prompted us to explore its utility as a catalyst for a variety

of synthetic transformations.

C. Literature Review: Allylation of Acetals

Hosomi-Sakurai Allylation of Acyclic Acetals

Some of most important organic transformations involve the formation of carbon-carbon

bonds. These methodologies are especially important in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and

21

Page 31: Green Chemistry Using Bismuth Compounds: Bismuth(III

natural products. Methods that have been developed for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds

include the Suzuki Cross-Coupling56, Friedel-Crafts acylation57 and alkylation58, the Michael

reaction59, Olefin Metathesis6o, and Diels-Alder cyclization.61 The nucleophilic allylation of

various carbon electrophiles is also an efficient strategy for carbon-carbon bond formation. The

Hosomi-Sakurai reaction involves the Lewis or protic acid catalyzed allylation of various

electrophiles using allyl silanes. This method is commonly regarded as a mild method for

carbon-carbon bond formation. Hosomi and Sakurai first reported the TiCl4-promoted allylation

of aldehydes and ketones to yield homoallyl alcohols62 (scheme 1.38).

Scheme 1.38

TiCI4 (0.5 eq)

They also successfully extended this methodology to the allylation of acyclic acetals63 (scheme

1.39). This represents an efficient synthesis of homo allyl ethers from readily available acetal

starting materials. Following their report, the allylation of acyclic acetals to yield homo allyl

ethers has since been well studied with a number of different Lewis acid catalysts. These include

diphenylboryl triflate68, bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide69, montmorillonite 70, CuBr7\ tris(p-

bromophenyl)aminium hexachloroantimonate72, Sc(OTf)3 73 , and BiBr3 .74 Many of the catalysts

previously employed for this synthesis are corrosive, for example AICl], TiC14, and TMSOTf, or

toxic, for example BF3"Et20. Additionally, stoichiometric catalyst loadings are often necessary.

Low temperatures and anhydrous conditions are also required in several of these reported

22

Page 32: Green Chemistry Using Bismuth Compounds: Bismuth(III

protocols. These conditions detract from the utility of these procedures in the industry because

of environmental and safety concerns.

Scheme 1.39

Our group has reported the bismuth(III) triflate-catalyzed allylation of acyclic acetals and

ketals to yield homoallyl ethers in good yields75 (scheme 1 .40). The allylation reactions

proceeded smoothly at room temperature with a low catalyst loading (1 .0 mol %).

Scheme 1.40

Bi(OTf)s (1.0 mol %) ..

This procedure provides a highly catalytic and environmentally friendly route to

homoallyl ethers compared to previously reported methodologies.

Hosomi-Sakurai Allylation of Aldehydes

In contrast to the allylation of acyclic acetals, the allylation of aldehydes and carbonyl

compounds to yield homoallyl ethers has received relatively little attention in the literature.

Sakurai and co-workers reported the allylation of aldehydes and ketones catalyzed by

iodotrimethylsilane in the presence of alkoxysilanes to yield homo allyl ethers 76 (scheme 1 .4 1 ) .

Trimethylsilyl triflate has also been used as a catalyst for the allylation of aldehydes in the

23

Page 33: Green Chemistry Using Bismuth Compounds: Bismuth(III

presence of alkoxysilanes to yield benzyl homo allyl ethers and n-hexyl homoallyl ethers.77 Two

disadvantages of this method are the utilization of a corrosive catalyst and the use of carbon

tetrachloride, a carcinogenic and environmentally harmful solvent.

Scheme 1.41

M e3Si I (10.0 mol %) �

We have recently reported the iron(III) p-toluenesulfonate catalyzed allylation of

aldehydes and acetals to yield homoallyl ethers78 (scheme 1 .42) . The direct conversion of

aldehydes to the corresponding homo allyl ether is advantageous because few acetals are

commercially available and must be typically synthesized from the corresponding aldehyde. In

addition, many acetals have a poor shelf life due to their acid-sensitive nature. Moreover, most

methods in the literature for the allylation of acetals only report the synthesis of homo allyl

methyl or ethyl ethers. These compounds are not very amenable to further synthetic

manipulation since the alkyl group appended to the homo allyl ether oxygen is an inert methyl or

ethyl group. A one-pot procedure utilizing alkoxysilanes allows for the installation of functional

groups that are more amenable to further synthetic manipulation. This is possible because a wide

range of alkoxysilanes is commercially available including benzyloxytrimethylsilane,

ethoxytrimethylsilane, and allyloxytrimethylsilane.

We reported the allylation of aldehydes and ketones under mild conditions to yield

ethers. This protocol was applicable to both aliphatic and aryl aldehydes with low catalyst

loadings ( 1 .0- 1 0.0 mol %). This method is especially attractive because ofthe utilization of

iron(III) tosylate, an inexpensive and non-corrosive Lewis acid catalyst.

Our group has also reported the one-pot synthesis of homo allyl ethers from aldehydes

catalyzed by bismuth(III) triflate79 (scheme 1 .43). Trialkylorthoforrnates or alkoxysilanes were

employed to generate acetals or oxenium ions respectively, which can then undergo allylation to

yield homoallyl ethers.

synthetically useful allyl or benzyl groups at the homo allyl ether oxygen.

The one-pot synthesis of homo allyl acetates from aldehydes catalyzed by bismuth triflate has

also been reported (scheme 1 .44). This procedure utilized acetic anhydride to generate the

corresponding acylals, which can then undergo allylation to yield homo allyl acetates. Aldehydes

with strongly electron-donating groups (p-methoxy) underwent diallylation under the reaction

conditions. The use of a relatively non-corrosive and non-toxic catalyst coupled with the wide

availability of aldehydes makes this an attractive route to homo allyl acetates

Cyclic acetals have received very little attention in the literature as substrates in the Hosomi-

dimethyl substituted 1 ,3-dioxolane was dependent on the Lewis acid used and the order of

addition of reagents (scheme 1 .47). When TiC14 was employed as the Lewis acid,

regioselectivity was dependent on the order of addition of allyltrimethylsilane and TiC14. When

AICh and SnC14 were used, isomer 4 was the major product ( 1 :99, 3:4). They also reported that

the allylation did not proceed with TMSOTf as the catalyst and allyltrimethylsilane as the allyl

source. Instead, allyltributyltin, a highly toxic organotin reagent, was necessary to afford the

desired allylated product under these conditions.

The allylation of 1 ,3-dioxolanes catalyzed by Sn(OTf)2 in the presence of alkoxysilanes

exchange between the alkoxysilane and the 1 ,3-dioxolane. The authors propose that the

allylation of the acyclic acetal resulting from the exchange is faster than the allylation of the

cyclic acetal. This reaction was applicable to a number of aliphatic and aryl dioxolanes in good

yields, but a stoichiometric catalyst loading was necessary.

The lack of a highly catalytic, widely applicable, and environmentally-friendly method

for the allylation of cyclic acetals prompted us to explore the bismuth(III) triflate-catalyzed

allylation of cyclic acetals. The development of greener methods for allylation chemistry is of

particular relevance because of increasing environmental concerns and the importance of carbon-

carbon bond forming reactions in organic synthesis. Bismuth-based Lewis acids are particularly

attractive in this respect because they are relatively non-toxic, non-corrosive, and inexpensive.

II. Results and Discussion

A. Allylation of 1 ,3-Dioxolanes followed by in situ Derivitization with Acid Anhydrides

Catalyzed by Bismuth(III) Triflate

The lack of a highly catalytic and environmentally benign method for the ring-opening

allylation of 1 ,3-dioxolanes (scheme 2 . 1 ) prompted our interest in investigating the utility of

bismuth(III) triflate as a catalyst for this transformation. In contrast to the Hosomi-Sakurai

allylation of aldehydes62, 76-79 and acyclic acetals63-7S, the allylation of cyclic acetals has received

very little attention.

It was reasoned that one way to push the reaction might be to trap the putative alkoxide

intermediate that results from addition of the allyl group with an electrophile (scheme 2.3) . This

method would represent a multi component reaction in which the alkoxide is derivatized in a one-

derivatization of the alkoxide, and thus, this new procedure is especially attractive. Such

multi component reactions reduce the time and number of steps associated with a synthesis

because isolation of intermediates is unnecessary.

An efficient one-pot procedure for the synthesis of highly functionalized ester products was thus

developed.89 The protocol was applied to the allylation of a number of aryl and aliphatic

dioxolanes (table 2 . 1 ).

Although the initial work was performed using acetonitrile as the solvent, the reactions

were also found to proceed smoothly under solvent-free conditions. This reduces the amount of

waste associated with the reaction. Products were initially isolated by aqueous work-up followed

by filtration through a silica column. The unacceptably low purity of crude products and the

difficulty of removing anhydrides during work-up prompted us to consider a direct filtration of

the reaction mixture through a silica gel column. This simple purification eliminates the need for

a tedious aqueous work-up and reduces the total amount of organic waste associated with the

synthesis.

This transformation was successful with a low catalyst loading (2.0 mol %) and under

mild, solvent-free reaction conditions. This contrasts sharply with previous reports in which

stoichiometric loadings of corrosive catalysts (TiC14, TMSOTf, SnCI4) were necessary to

35

Page 45: Green Chemistry Using Bismuth Compounds: Bismuth(III

promote allylation. Reaction times were relatively short ( 1 -4 h), with the exception of aliphatic

dioxolanes which required longer reaction times. All reactions proceeded at 0 0 C and under

mild, solvent-free conditions. Many methods reported to date require low temperature

conditions (-78 0 C).

Moreover, many of the previous procedures were only applied to a few dioxolanes. Our protocol

was amenable to a variety of aliphatic and substituted aryl dioxolanes. Electron-rich aryl

dioxolanes underwent allylation with a low catalyst loading (2.0 mol %).

A variety of acid anhydrides such as acetic anhydride, isobutyric anhydride and

trimethylacetic anhydride were successfully employed for the in situ derivatization of the

alkoxide intermediate. However, the yield of the product dropped with use of hindered

anhydrides. Thus, structural diversity can be introduced into the ester product by altering both

the dioxolane and acid anhydride utilized. Furthermore, the highly functionalized product is

formed via a one-pot procedure from commercially available or readily accessible dioxolane

starting materials.

Attempts to apply the protocol to the allylation of 1 ,3 -dioxolanes derived from ketones

were unsuccessful. A mixture of starting material and acetophenone was isolated when the 1 ,3 -

dioxolane derived from acetophenone was subjected to the established reaction conditions

(scheme 2.6).

B. Mechanistic Studies on the Bismuth(IH) Triflate-Catalyzed Allylation of Dioxolanes

In order to determine the mechanism by which bismuth(III) triflate is catalyzing the

allylation of dioxolanes, a number of control experiments were performed (scheme 2.7). Though

it was hypothesized that bismuth triflate is acting as a Lewis acid, it is also possible that the

reaction is protic acid catalyzed. Triflic acid generated in solution by the hydrolysis of bismuth

triflate could potentially be catalyzing the allylation of dioxolanes.

As was already established, the allylation of 2-(2-bromophenyl)-1 ,3-dioxolane catalyzed

by bismuth triflate (2.0 mol %) proceeded to completion in an hour. The allylation does not

proceed in the absence of a catalyst. When triflic acid (5.0 mol %) was used as a catalyst for the

allylation, a mixture of desired product and aldehyde was detected by GC analysis of the reaction

mixture.

The bismuth triflate-catalyzed allylation was also conducted in the presence of 1 ,8-

(dimethylamino)napthalene (Proton Sponge™)90 (figure 2. 1 ).

Under these conditions, no product or aldehyde was observed by GC. While this might suggest

that the reaction is protic acid catalyzed, it is also possible that the amino functionalities of 1 ,8-

(dimethyl amino )napthalene are strongly coordinating to bismuth triflate, rendering it unable to

catalyze the reaction. More studies are necessary to determine bismuth triflate's role in

catalyzing the allylation of dioxolanes.

C. Allylation of 1,3-Dioxanes followed by in situ Derivitization with Acid Anhydrides

Catalyzed by Bismuth(III) Triflate

When compared to the allylation of 1 ,3-dioxolanes, there is very little precedent for the

allylation of 1 ,3-dioxanes in the literature. Furthermore, the established methods utilize

stoichiometric quantities of corrosive catalysts (TiCI4/Ti(O-i-Pr)4 or TMSOTf). Hunter and

coworkers utilized allyl borates as the source of the allyl group87 (scheme 1 .52). These

compounds must be prepared in lab, detracting from the utility of this procedure. Denmark and

coworkers utilized a large excess (8 eq) of allyltrimethylsilane or the highly toxic

allyltributylstannane as the allyl source88 (scheme 1 .53). Thus, our goal was to apply the

previously developed allylation methodology to the allylation of 1 ,3-dioxanes. This would

constitute the first catalytic allylation of 1 ,3 -dioxanes reported in the literature.

39

Page 49: Green Chemistry Using Bismuth Compounds: Bismuth(III

The previously developed procedure was applied to the allylation of a number of aryl and

aliphatic 1 ,3-dioxanes (table 2.2). Though the acetal center is more electron-rich in dioxanes

than dioxolanes as supported by J 3C NMR data, the allylations all proceeded to completion with

a low catalyst loading (2.0 mol %). In all cases, acetic anhydride was used to derivatize the

alkoxides in situ. The resulting functionalized esters were isolated in moderate to good yields.

D. AUylation of 1,3-Dithianes followed by in situ Derivitization with Acid Anhydrides

Catalyzed by Bismuth(III) Triflate

1 ,3-Dithianes have received significant attention in the literature as protecting groups for

carbonyl compounds.80 Also, their application in the "Umpolung" chemistry pioneered by

Seebach and Corey is well precedented91 (scheme 2.9).

Dithianes can be also be potentially converted to other useful functional groups. To date,

there has been no report of a Hosomi-Sakurai type allylation of dithianes to yield functionalized

thiols (scheme 2. 1 0) .

This total lack of literature precedent for the allylation of 1 ,3-dithianes prompted our interest in

extending the established bismuth(III) triflate catalyzed allylation methodology to this

functionality. A one-pot allylation and in situ derivatization of 1 ,3-dithianes with acid

anhydrides would constitute an efficient synthesis of functionalized thioesters (scheme 2. 1 1 ) .

However, by using a protocol similar to the allylation of dioxolanes and dioxanes, the

thiolate intermediate was successfully trapped with acetic anhydride to yield the corresponding

thioester. This strategy was applied to a handful of aryl and aliphatic dithianes, yielding the

corresponding thioesters in moderate to good yields (table 2.4).

The allylation of 1 ,3-dithianes proceeded smoothly under mild, solvent-free conditions with low

catalyst loadings (2.0 -1 0.0 mol %). Although allylation of dioxolanes and dioxanes proceeded

43

Page 53: Green Chemistry Using Bismuth Compounds: Bismuth(III

with a 2.0 mol % loading of bismuth (III) trifiate, electron-rich aryl dithianes and aliphatic

dithianes required more catalyst (4.0 - 1 0.0 mol %) for the reactions to proceed to completion.

To the best of our knowledge, this procedure represents the first example ofthe

application of 1 ,3-dithianes as substrates for the Hosomi-Sakurai reaction. Furthermore, the

method utilizes a non-toxic and non-corrosive catalyst and solvent-free conditions.

Conclusions

A robust and highly catalytic method for the allylation and in situ derivatization of a

number of cyclic acetals (dioxolanes, dioxanes, and dithianes) has been developed. There has

been little precedent in the literature for the allylation of these functionalities. Most reagents

used to date for the allylation of cyclic acetals are highly corrosive or toxic and are often

required in stoichiometric amounts. In contrast, the use of a relatively non-toxic and non­

corrosive bismuth(III) based catalyst and the lack of an aqueous waste stream make the

developed methodology environmentally benign and attractive.

Bismuth(III) triflate was purchased from Aldrich Chemical Company and stored under vacuum.

Allyltrimethylsilane was purchased from Acros Chemical Company or Aldrich Chemical

Company. Acetic anhydride was purchased from Fisher Scientific. Dioxanes and dithianes were

prepared in lab following procedures developed in our group or literature protocols.80 Products

were analyzed using a lEOL Eclipse NMR Spectrometer at 270 MHz for lH NMR and 67.5

MHz for I 3C NMR in CDCb as the solvent. GC analysis was performed on a Varian CP-3800

Gas Chromatograph equipped with a 30 m silica-packed column with a diameter of 0.25 mm

(Conditions: hold at 1 00 °C for 1 min; ramp at 30 °C/min until 220 °c ; hold at 220 °C; flow rate;

2 .0 mL/min of He). Thin-layer Chromatography was performed on alumina backed silica gel

plates. Spots were visualized under UV light (when a UV active chromophore was present) and

by spraying the plate with phosphomolybdic acid followed by heating. Purifications were

performed by flash chromatography on silica gel.92 Products were characterized by lH NMR,

I 3C NMR, and GC. Satisfactory elemental analysis or High Resolution Mass Spectrometry

(HRMS) data was obtained for all new compounds.
