Investigation of Grignard Reagent as an Advanced Base for Aza-Claisen Rearrangement
2019
Employing iPrMgCl as an advanced base instead of lithium hexamethyldisilazane (LHMDS) resulted in dramatic improvements in aza-Claisen rearrangement. This advance is considered responsible for the increased bulkiness of the alkoxide moiety (including magnesium cation and ligands), followed by a resultant conformational change of the transition state. To support this hypothesis, various substrates of aza-Claisen rearrangement were prepared and screened. In addition, a molecular dynamic simulation study was performed to investigate and compare the structural stability of reaction intermediates.
