Kinetic and Structure–Activity Studies of the Triazolium Ion– catalyzed Intramolecular Stetter Reaction

Collett, Christopher J. and Young, Claire M. and Massey, Richard S. and O'Donoghue, AnnMarie C. and Smith, Andrew D (2021) 'Kinetic and Structure–Activity Studies of the Triazolium Ion– catalyzed Intramolecular Stetter Reaction.', European Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2021 (26). pp. 3670-3675.

Abstract

Mechanistic studies of the triazolium ion-catalyzed intramolecular Stetter reaction using initial rates analysis in NEt3/NEt3HCl buffered methanol showed the reaction to be first-order in catalyst and zero-order in aldehyde over a broad range of aldehyde concentrations. The observed reaction rate is higher for catalysts bearing N-aryl substituents with electron-withdrawing groups. A concurrent, NHC-independent substrate isomerization was also observed and found to demonstrate a first-order dependence on aldehyde concentration. The reported data are consistent with deprotonation to form the Breslow intermediate being turnover-limiting in this process.
