โœฆ Synopsis


The N-bis(trimethysilyl)methyl (N-BTMSM) group is effective for conformational control about the amide N C(O) bond in tertiary diazoamides; metallocarbenoid C-H insertion reaction occurs only at the other N-'alkyl' unit. In C a -unbranched diazoamides, the inherent electronic effects of the N-'alkyl' group influence the regioselectivity of the reaction. The N-BTMSM group also influences the conformational preference about the amide N-C a bond in C a -branched systems which, in turn, affects the regioselectivity of the reaction; substituent electronic effects are subtle and play subordinate roles. A transition state model to explain the results is proposed.

Conformational preferences dominate electronic influences in governing regioselectivity for catalytic C-H insertion reactions of diazoacetoacetamides and allow the construction of fl-lactams by insertion a and f3 to an ester functional group. We have recently reported a new methodology for the synt
