Base catalysed rearrangements involving ylide intermediates. Part 11. Rearrangements of 3-phenylprop-2-ynylammonium ylides

Abstract

The propynylammonium salt (5) reacts with aqueous sodium hydroxide to give the allene (7) and a new ylide (11). The simultaneous formation of (7) and (11) suggests that the apparent [3,2] sigmatropic rearrangement of the propynyl ylide (6) to the allene (7) may involve a two-stage mechanism. The reactions of the ylide (11) are described, as are those of the allene (7) and a number of similar allenes derived from the propynylammonium salts (23) and (27). Three types of reaction are recognised for the allenes including a novel [1,3] rearrangement involving the migration of a dimethylamino-group. The base catalysed rearrangements of the bicyclic propynylammonium salts (52) and (56) do not show the inhibition expected for concerted [3,2] sigmatropic rearrangements in such bicyclic systems. This observation provides further evidence for a two-stage mechanism for the apparent [3,2] sigmatropic rearrangement of propynylammonium ylides.
