Organic cyclisations of propargyl and allyl bromoesters in microemulsions catalysed by electrogenerated nickel(I) tetramethylcyclam

resumo

While the reductive intramolecular cyclisation of propargyl and allyl bromoesters catalysed by [Ni(tmc)](+) gives good yields of the desired products using NN-dimethylformamide as the solvent, the use of this aprotic solvent presents practical, safety and environmental issues. This paper therefore reports the search for non-toxic alternatives, in particular the study of microemulsions prepared from water, hydrocarbons, surfactant and alcohol co-surfactant. It is shown that the [Ni(tmc)](2+)/[Ni(tmc)](+) couple is reversible in such media and that [Ni(tmc)](+) reacts rapidly with propargyl and allyl bromoesters to give excellent yields of cyclic products. Indeed, these microemulsions are convenient media for such syntheses. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
