Alkene Cross−Metathesis with 2,5−Dimethyl−2,4−Hexadiene Enables Isobutylenyl / Prenyl Functionalizations and Rubber Valorization
Chemistry – A European Journal(2024)
摘要
2,5−Dimethyl−2,4−hexadiene is a readily available and easily managable compound, whose symmetric and polymethylated dienic structure should be prone to engage in cross−metathesis reactions with other alkenes, but this has not been apparently exploited so far. Here we show that this reactant enables the easy synthesis of tri− and tetra−susbtituted alkenes (i.e. isobutylenyl and prenyl groups) from simple alkenes under mild reaction conditions, not only with the conventional 2nd generation Grubbs catalyst but also with other Grela−type catalysts such as StickyCat,TM AquaMetTM and GreenCat.TM The use of liquid and low volatile 2,5−dimethyl−2,4−hexadiene avoids the use of gaseous alkene reactants and, besides, showcases the reactivity of polyisoprene (rubber), thus allowing to optimize the reaction conditions for rubber upcycling, after metathesis reaction of the pristine or used polymer with simple alkenes. These results bring low volatile isoprene−type compounds as privileged poly−substituted reactants for alkene cross−metathesis reactions.
