PREPARATION OF 1,2-AND 1,4-DIOLS VIA SELECTIVE CLEAVAGE OF C-BENZOTRIAZOLE BONDS INREDUCTIVE LITHIATIONS OF N-(ALPHA-ALKOXY-BENZYL-)BENZOTRIAZOLES AND N-(ALPHA-ALKOXY-ALLYL-)BENZOTRIAZOLES
Ar. Katritzky et al., PREPARATION OF 1,2-AND 1,4-DIOLS VIA SELECTIVE CLEAVAGE OF C-BENZOTRIAZOLE BONDS INREDUCTIVE LITHIATIONS OF N-(ALPHA-ALKOXY-BENZYL-)BENZOTRIAZOLES AND N-(ALPHA-ALKOXY-ALLYL-)BENZOTRIAZOLES, Tetrahedron letters, 39(36), 1998, pp. 6437-6440
Selective cleavage of C-benzotriazole bonds in the presence of C-O bon
ds is reported for the reductive lithiation of N-(alpha-alkoxybenzyl)b
enzotriazoles and N-(alpha-alkoxyallyl)benzotriazoles in a one-step or
two-step process. Trapping of the intermediates with carbonyl compoun
ds gave unsymmetrically protected 1,2 or 1,4-diols in moderate yields.
