定义Definition
克莱森重排是烯丙基乙烯基醚或烯丙基芳基醚在加热下发生 [3,3]-σ 迁移,生成 γ,δ-不饱和羰基化合物或邻烯丙基苯酚的协同周环反应。
The Claisen rearrangement is a concerted [3,3]-sigmatropic shift of an allyl vinyl ether or allyl aryl ether on heating, giving a γ,δ-unsaturated carbonyl compound or an o-allylphenol.
机理与立体化学Mechanism and stereochemistry
六个原子经椅式(优先)环状过渡态重组:断裂 C–O σ 键,形成新的 C–C σ 键,π 键迁移。立体化学可由椅式过渡态准确预测,手性能高效传递。芳基烯丙基醚先得到二烯酮中间体,再互变异构为酚;若两个邻位都被占据,则进一步发生科普重排到对位。
Six atoms reorganise through a (preferably chair) cyclic transition state: a C–O σ bond breaks, a C–C σ bond forms and the π bonds shift. The chair TS predicts stereochemistry and transfers chirality efficiently. Aryl allyl ethers give a dienone that tautomerises to the phenol; if both ortho positions are blocked a further Cope shift moves the allyl to para.
由来Origin
路德维希·克莱森于 1912 年报道(芳基烯丙基醚重排为邻烯丙基苯酚)。
Reported by Ludwig Claisen in 1912 (aryl allyl ethers to o-allylphenols).
重要变体Important variants
约翰逊–克莱森(原酸酯)、埃申莫瑟–克莱森(酰胺缩醛)、爱尔兰–克莱森(烯醇硅醚酯,低温即可)等变体在天然产物合成中广泛用于立体选择性构建 C–C 键。生物体内分支酸 → 预苯酸是酶催化的克莱森重排(分支酸变位酶)。
Johnson (orthoester), Eschenmoser (amide acetal) and Ireland (silyl ketene acetal, low temperature) variants build C–C bonds stereoselectively in natural-product synthesis. Chorismate → prephenate is an enzyme-catalysed Claisen (chorismate mutase).

150–250 °C 加热(芳基醚约 200 °C);爱尔兰变体可在室温
