Meerwein盐

Meerwein盐也称为Meerwein试剂，是指三甲基氧鎓四氟硼酸盐 (Me3OBF4)或是三乙基氧鎓四氟硼酸盐 (Et3OBF4)。此试剂以其发现者Hans Meerwein的名字命名，此烷氧鎓盐是很强的烷基化试剂，可以对各种杂原子亲核试剂进行烷基化，如酰胺，内酰胺（O-烷基化），胺（可以N-烷基化到季铵盐），α-吡啶酮（N-或O-烷基化），芳香氮杂环（N-烷基化后形成鎓盐），硫代羰基化合物（S-烷基化）。

【 J. Chem. Ber., 1956, 89, 2060； Can. J. Chem. , 1977, 5, 1433 】

在水相中Meerwein 盐能作用于羧酸实现酯化反应，在这一反应条件下，酰胺基团不会发生O-烷基化反应。而在非质子溶剂和不存在碱的条件中，羧酸酰胺化合物只会发生O-烷基化反应。

O -烷基化的酰胺，可以还原制备胺，也可以水解制备酯。

常见的烷基化试剂强弱按照以下顺序排列：

Me2Cl(SbF6) > (MeO)2CHBF4> Me3OBF4> Et3OBF4> MeOTf >MeOSO2F > (MeO)2SO2> MeI

To a stirred mixture of 163 mg 6-nitro-1Hindazole (1 mmol) and 3 mL EtOAc was added 192 mg trimethyloxonium tetraflfluoroborate (1.3 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 h under nitrogen and then diluted with 20 mL EtOAc and washed with 20 mL saturated NaHCO 3 solution. The organic layer was separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (20 mL × 2). The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous MgSO 4 , fifiltered, and evaporated. The residue was purifified by column chromatography (1:1, EtOAc/hexane) to afford 154 mg 2-methyl-6-nitro-2 H - indazole as a yellow solid, in a yield of 87%, mp 158–16 0 ◦ C (EtOAc).

To a solution of 300 mg gluconothiolactam (0.54 mmol) in 13 mL dry CH2Cl2 at 0℃ was added 112 mg triethyloxonium tetraflfluoroborate (0.59 mmol). The mixture was stirred at 0 ℃ for 1.5 h, then the solvent was removed under vacuum to afford 298 mg ethyl 2,3,4,6-tetra- O -benzyl-D-gluconoiminothioether, in a yield of 95%.
