ABSTRACT
This rcvicw shows cxamplcs ofapplication of Et,N in oxidations, eliminations, substitutions, and addition rcactions.
Tricthylaminc (Et3N) appearc to bc most popular organie aminę base in organie synthetic chcmistry. The popularity comcs from its Iow price along with casiness of removal by distillation. I-Iowcver, Et3N is a vcry dangerous fire hazard when expo-sed to the beat, flamc, or oxidizcrs. Thcir salts with inorganic acids are somewhat insolublc in most organie solvcnts oflow polarity and for that reason may by remo-ved from the rcaction media by simplc filtration.
Examples ofapplication ol'Ht,N in oxidation rcactions are shown in ozonolysis ofeyeloalkene 1-8 13 5] (figs 1-4- 5), and ilgs 1-6-8 show oxidation of 1-14,1-16, and 1-18 alcohols, employing aclivated DMSO [6-12], Various oxidation processes of hydrazones willi iodidc in the prcsencc of Et3N are presented in fig. 1-9 [13J. Elimination rcactions, concerned mainly with dchydrohalogcnations, are described in cxamplcs of halogen derivativcs of lactone 2-1 [17], kctonc 2-3 [18,19], sulfone 2-6 [20], and acids 2-9 and 2-11 [21,221 (figs 2-1-5). Dchalogenation of2-13 [23], 2-17 [26 281, and 2-22 [31 371 acid ehlorides are presented in figs 2-6-8, while formation of nitrilc oxidcs in ligs 2-11 13 [38 42J. Competitivc dchydrobromina-tion and dchydrochlorination rcaction occurs in the prcsencc of Et3N in 1,1,1-tri-chloro-3-bromo-3-fcnyIopropane (2-35) is dcscribcd in fig. 2-15 [44]. Mechanizm and cxamplcs of trans formation of ehlorosulfonyl ehlorides are presented in figs 2-17-20 [47-511, and dimeri/alion of aldiminium salts [63J in fig. 2-25 as well. Applications of Hl,N in earbon-earbon hond formation inan intramoleeular Heckrcaction are shown in fig. 3-1 [70 74J. Hxamplcofu.sc ofKt,N in cnolboronation of carbonyl compounds is dcscrihcil in fig. 3-2 [75 78J, and additionally, in synthesis of silyl cnol ethers can be fouiul in ligs 3-3 6 [89 104|. Application of Et,N as the base in ncutralizing the acids lihcrutcd in preparing diazo ketones and mixcd anhydrides arc indicatcd in fig. 3- 71105 107] and fig. 3-8 [108 117] respeetivcly, while in pro-tccting of hydroxy group in figs 3-9 11 [118 126J. Useof Et3N as the effcctive catalyst in eyjanoelhylation rcaction of aetive mcthyl group in acetylacctone (4-2) [130] and alkylpyridine methiodides 4-4 5, 4-8 9 [131] arc shown in figs 4-1-3, and in isomeri/ation rcaction of pyrazolines 4-14 [133] and cycloaddition of inda-nc-l,3-dione (4-16) 1134| in figs. 4-5 6.
