General description

1-Chloro-3-iodopropane undergoes asymmetric α-alkylation with N-sulfinyl imidates to yield 2-substituted N-tert-butanesulfinyl-5-chloropentanimidates. Electroreduction of 1-chloro-3-iodopropane at glassy carbon electrode in dimethylformamide containing tetra-n-butylammonium perchlorate has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry. It also participates in conjugate addition of alkyl iodides to α,β-unsaturated nitriles in water.

Application

1-Chloro-3-iodopropane has been used in the synthesis of:
  • N-[4-[5-(2,4-diamino-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidin-5-yl)-2-(2,2,2-trifluoroacetyl)pentyl]benzoyl]-L-glutamic acid, an inhibitor of glycinamide ribonucleotide transformylase (GAR Tfase) and aminoimidazole carboxamide ribonucleotide transformylase (AICAR Tfase)
  • interesting ″proton sponge″ type molecule quino[7,8-h]quinoline

α-Alkylation of N-sulfinyl imidates with 1-chloro-3-iodopropane successfully led to 2-substituted N-tert-butanesulfinyl-5-chloropentanimidates in acceptable diastereomeric ratios (dr 67/33 to 72/28) and good yields (74-86%). Subsequent reduction with NaBH(4) led to the corresponding 2-substituted N-tert-butanesulfinyl-5-chloropentylamines, which could be cyclized to a range
