Abstract
Iodoaryl nitroalkene 9 was found to undergo a palladium-promoted Heck cyclization in the presence of Pd(OAc)(2) (1.0 equiv), triphenylphosph ine (2.0 equiv), and Ag2CO3 (2.0 equiv) in benzene at 25 degrees C to afford exocyclic 2,2-disubstituted-1-nitroalkene (Z)-2 as a single geo metrical isomer (43%) along with the corresponding saturated nitroalka ne 10 (40%). Subsequent selenylation of the nitroalkane, oxidative eli mination, and olefin isomerization afforded (Z)-2 in 70% yield. The in fluence of Ag2CO3 and solvent on the cyclization and the mechanism of nitroalkane formation are proposed.
