Introduction

Birch reduction (see reviews [1-5]) is the name given to the reaction of unsaturated organic compounds with alkali metals and alcohols in liquid am­monia. This method was first used for aromatic compounds in 1937 by Wooster [6J, who showed that benzene and its derivatives are reduced by sodium in liq­uid ammonia in the presence of an alcohol, while this reaction does not take place in the absence of an alcohol. However, the general recognition and broad application of this reaction was achieved only after a series of investigations by Birch published from 1944 onwards [7J.

Since the presence of an alcohol in the reaction medium is not indispen­sable for pOlycyclic aromatic systems, the present review includes only deriv­atives of the simplest aromatic compounds - benzene and naphthalene.

Reaction Mechanism

REACTION MECHANISM

8)

When an alkali metal (M) is dissolved in liquid ammonia (stage 1) the solvated cation and electron formed remain weakly attached to one another

3

in the form of an ion pair [13]. The reaction of the latter with the aromatic nucleus is accompanied by electron transfer and the formation of a radical anion which occupies the place of the electron on the ion pair (stage 2). The radical anion of monobenzenoid systems is an extremely unstable particle [14-16] because of the low electron affinity of the aryl nucleus. Consequently, a shift of the equilibrium of stage 2 to the right is possible only if the radical anion is constantly eliminated from the equilibrium mixture, which is achieved by its irreversible protonation by means of the alcohol ROH (stage 3). Am­monia cannot provide the electron necessary for this in view of its low acidity (pKa ~ 34), while the acidity of alcohols (pKa ~ 16 -18) is sufficient.

The intermediate radical obtained in stage 3 immediately adds a second electron, being converted into an anion (stage 4). Protonation by the alcohol again leads to a 1,4-dihydro derivative (stage 5).

If NHi ions are present in the reaction mixture, conditions are created for the ionization of the 1,4-dihydro derivative, in consequence of which the more thermodynamically stable 1,2-dihydro derivative accumulates in the reaction mixture. The latter, being a conjugated diene, is reduced further to the tetrahydro derivative <stage 6). However, in the majority of cases with an alcohol present in the reaction mixture a strongly acid buffer (as compared with the acidi­ty of ammonia) is created, which prevents the accumulation of NH; ions.

The radical anion formed in stage 2 can react further with a second elec­tron, forming a dianion (stage 7) the subsequent double protonation of which (stage 8) also leads to the 1,4-dihydro derivative. Because of the low electron affinity of the aryl nucleus mentioned above, this possibility is apparently not realized in the case of systems with a simple benzene nucleus. On the other hand, naphthalene and its derivatives react in just this way [8, 9,17,18], i.e., via stages I, 2, 7, and 8.

Hiickel et a!. [19, 20] have proposed an alternative mechanism for Birch reduction including in the first stage an attack of atomic hydrogen with the formation of a radical. On the successive addition of an electron and a proton, this radical is converted into the anion of a dihydro derivative, which then reacts in the manner of stage 5.

Page 8: Birch Reduction of Aromatic Compounds

Field of Application

The Birch reaction is used for the reduction of very diverse aromatic compounds differing in their degree of substitution and in the nature of the substituents. In the first stage of the reaction, l,4-dihydro derivatives are always formed and through the further reactions of these are effected trans­formations to various compounds frequently difficult of access by other meth­ods of synthesis.

In the reduction of benzene and its derivatives, the corresponding cy­clohexadienes are obtained (yield up to 80-900/0). In this process the orienta­tion of the reduction is of prime importance. In accordance with the mech­anism illustra ted above. the structure of the products obtained is determined by the direction of the addition of the protons to the radical anion in stage 3 and to the anion in stage 5. It is obvious that in both cases the protons will a ttack the carbon atoms of the ring with the highest electron density. The electron densities of all the carbon atoms of mono- and disubstituted benzenes and also of the anion radicals formed from them ha ve been calculated by the molecular orbitals method [18, 21j. When electron-donating substituents (alkyl, alkoxyl, and amino groups) are present, the carbon atoms bearing the substituents or those in the para position to them have the greatest tendency to undergo protonation. Consequently. the Birch reduction of such compounds leads to l,4-dihydro derivatives (I) containing the maximum number of sub­stituents on the remaining double bonds [8, 22]. This rule had previously been deduced empirically by Birch [2, 7, 23, 24]:

A different distribution of electron densities is found when electron­accepting substituents are present; in this case the addition of protons takes

FIELD OF APPLICATION

place in the 1,4- positions with respect to the carbon atom bearing the sub­stituent, leading to compounds of type (II) [25-27J:

5

In the reduction of polycyclic derivatives of anisole (III), the addition of protons in the 1,4- positions may take place in two directions with the formation of compounds (IV) and (V). It is found, however, that the isomers of type (V) always predominate in the mixture of reaction products [28J:

Examples are also known in which the reduction product originally arising - the l,4-cyclohexadiene (VI) - then rearranges into the conjugated 1,3- derivative (VII) [8, 23, 29. 30J:

When the reaction is carried out with alkoxy- and aminobenzenes, the reduction products formed are ethers of the enolic forms (VIII) or are enamines (IX) corresponding to the unsaturated ketones (X) into which they can be converted by acid hydrolysis [22J:

6 FIELD OF APPLICATION

The Birch reduction of anisole derivatives is used particularly widely in steroid chemistry to effect the passage from ethers of estrogens to 19-norandrostanes. These compounds possess a high and diverse physiological activity and are therefore of great value for medicine (see the reviews [31-33J. The acid hydrolysis of the reduction products (XI) under severe condi­tions (hydrochloric acid) leads to b,4 -3-oxosteroids (XII), while milder hydrol­ysis using oxalic or acetic acid permits the double bond in the b,5(lO)_position to be retained with the formation of (XIII):

The method of reduction under consideration has proved acceptable in the total synthesis of various steroids [34J, alkaloids [35, 36J, resin acids [37], and various terpenes [38-43J, including such complex ones as totarol (XIV) [44J and cx-onocerin (XV) [45j:

H,C CH3

XIV

Birch reduction has also found use for the synthesis of hydrogenated naphthalene derivatives. Depending on the reaction conditions, naphthalene itself forms the 1,4-dihydro derivative (XVI) or the 1,4,5, 8-tetrahydro derivative (XVII) [46,47]:

CO~(X) + (X) XVI XVII

Page 11: Birch Reduction of Aromatic Compounds

FIELD OF APPLICATION 7

For substituted naphthalenes, the degree and direction of reduction depend on the number, nature, and positions of the substituents in the aromatic nucleus, as is shown by,the examples of the reactions of compounds (XVITI)-(XX) given below:

-(X)

Thus, I-naphthol (XVIII) is reduced in the unsubstituted ring and 2-naphthol (XX) in the substituted ring [7, 48]. I-Naphthoic acid (XIX), containing an electron-accepting substitutent, is also reduced in the substituted ring [49J.

In the case of compounds with several substituents, a more complex reaction pattern is observed, as can be illustrated by the reduction of com­pound (XXI), forming the 3,4,6, 9-tetrahydro derivative and of compound (XXII), giving a hexahydro derivative under the conditions of the Birch re­action [50]:

Side Reactions

Since the main reaction considered in the present review is the reduc­tion of the aromatic nucleus, side reactions must be considered to include, in the first place, the reduction of other unsaturated functional groups and, in the second place, the hydrogenolysis of certain substituents under the conditions of the Birch reaction.

The compounds to be red uced most frequently contain, besides the aro­matic ring, other unsaturated groupings which are also capable of reduction under the action of alkali metals and alcohols in liquid ammonia. The fate of such groupings in the reaction process is important for the successful ap­plication of the Birch red uction to the synthesis of organic compounds.

Double carbon-carbon bonds not conjugated with a keto group of an aromatic nucleus are not usually reduced in the Birch reaction. The numerous exceptions [51-53] include the reduction of the 17cx-allyl grouping of com­pound (XXII):

A double bond conjugated with an aromatic ring (a "styryl" bond) is reduced more rapidly than the ring. and this effect has been made use of in the total and partial synthesis of steroids. The reactions of b,,6_, b"s(g)_, and b,,11_ steroids [(XXIV) [54], (XXV) [55,56], and (XXVI) [57]] may serve as

examples of this. As a rule, the reduction of the double bonds forms products with the trans - linkage of the corresponding rings. The few exceptions (5, 58-61] are due to special features of the structure of the initial compounds and the nature of the alkali metal used:

Conjugated dienes of the type of (xxvII) are reduced to olefinic com­pounds under the conditions of the Birch reaction [62]. If the diene system is conjugated with an aromatic ring (XXVIII), on reduction only the double bond attached directly to the ring is affected [38, 39]:

As a rule, under the conditions of the Birch reaction, carbonyl groups are reduced to hydroxy groups, the thermodynamically more stable stereo­isomers being formed predominantly. Keto groups conjugated with aromatic rings undergo complete hydrogenolysis, as was shown on the basis of aceto­phenone (XXX), which is reduced to ethylbenzene [67]. In this case, hydro­genolysis is not prevented even by using the corresponding ketal (xxxI) in the reaction [68]:

When it is necessary to retain a keto group not conjugated with an aro­matic ring, either it may be previously protected by conversion into the eth­ylene ketal (XXXIII [69, 70]) or, after the reaction, the keto grol,lp can be regenerated by the Oppenauer oxidation of the carbinol (XXXIV) originally formed [71-75], as was done in the synthesis of 19-norprogesterone (XXXV)

In some cases [76), the reduction of a keto group is prevented by its conversion into an enol ether.

11

When a keto group conjugated with a double bond is present in the com­pound, the double bond is reduced first, and then the keto group, and last the aromatic rings present in the molecule. This difference in reactivities is widely used for the selective reduction of the functional groups mentioned (5).

Generally, carboxyl groups undergo no change under the conditions of the Birch reaction (47, 77). At the same time, ester groupings are completely or partially reduced to primary alcohols, this reaction taking place faster than the reduction of an aromatic ring. Compounds (xxxvI) [77, 78) and (XXXVII) (79) may serve as examples. In the case of substituted naphthalenes of type (XXXVIII), alkoxycarbonyl groups attached to the aromatic ring are retained on Birch reduction [80):

Hyd roxyl and thiol groups remain unaffected in the Birch reaction if they are not present in the benzyl (0:-) position with respect to an aromatic ring. In this case, hyuroxyl groups undergo hydrogenolysis, but this can be prevented by the introduction of an electron-donating substituent in the para position of the aromatic ring. For example, the hydroxyl group of compound (XXXIX) undergoes complete hydrogenolysis in Birch reduction, while compound (xL)

Benzoylation or the conversion of alcohols with such a structure into benzyl ethers does not protect their hydroxyl gr oups from hydrogenolysis [82 • 83].

Sometimes a methoxyl group directly attached to an aromatic ring is also eliminated in the Birch reaction, particularly if it is present in the para position to a carboxyl group (XLI) [76, 84]:

For naphthalene derivatives, such elimination is observed when alcohols are added at the end of the reaction [85].

Vinyl and eth ynyl carbinols, of which compounds (XLII) [86] and (XLIII) [51, 87] may serve as examples, also undergo hydrogenolysis on reduction with alkali metals and alcohols in liquid ammonia. The corresponding ethylidene derivatives are formed, and in the first case the ethylidene group is red uced further to an ethyl group, since the double bond is conjugated with the aromatic ring:

Hydrogenolysis of the hydroxyl group of ethynyl carbinols can be prevented by the addition of alkali-metal amides to the reaction mixture [51, 88].

The acetoxy groups of a:-acetoxy ketones of type (XLIV) undergo hydro­genolysis during the Birch reaction with a change in the configuration of the side chain, which is further reduced to the corresponding carbinol [64, 89, 90]:

The migration of the acyl group observed in the Birch reduction of com­pound (XLVI), with the formation of compound (XLVII) [57], can be explained in the following way. The attack of the anion (XLVIII) (see the section "Re­action Mechanism," stage 4) on the carbonyl of the acetate grouping leads to the intermediate product (XLIX). The subsequent migration of the acetyl group from C(ll) to C(l) takes place in the manner of a Claisen reaction, and this is followed by the addition of a proton to the hydroxyl group and the re-

Methods and Examples of the Performance of the Reaction

In the performance of the Birch reduction, a number of experimental variants have been proposed which differ from one another by the ratio and order of addition of the reagents - the alkali metal, the ammonia, and the alcohol - and also by the presence or absence of supplementary solvents. Since the reaction is carried out in liquid ammonia, its temperature range is deter­mined by the boiling and solidification points of ammonia (from -34°C to -80 °C).

Of the many variants described in the literature, we shall consider only the main ones: the Birch, the Nelson-Wilds, the Iohnson, and the Dryden methods.

According to the Birch method [38], the alkali. metal - sodium or potas­sium - is added to a well-stirred mixture of an alcohol (taken in stoichiometric amount with respect to the meta!), liquid ammonia, and the substance to be reduced. The method is applicable predominantly to simple aromatic com­pounds; for more complex compounds (methyl ethers of hexestrol and estradiol) the yields fall sharply, mainly because of the low solubility of the compounds to be reduced. The modification of the reaction proposed by Wilds and Nelson [10] differs from the Birch method by the use of an auxiliary solvent (ether, tetrahydrofuran. etc.) by the replacement of sodium by lithium, which is more soluble in liquid ammonia and has a higher reduction potential, and, finally, by the addition of the alcohol at the end of the process, which reduces the probability of an undesirable reaction of the alcohol with the alkali metal. This modification has found application mainly for the reduction of pOlycyclic derivatives of anisole, primarily steroid estrogens.

According to the method of Johnson et al. [28, 82, 91] a comparatively large excess of ethanol (up to 400/0) is used in the reaction. The alkali metal is added until a bronze-colored phase has been formed, showing the achieve­ment of the maximum concentration of the metal in the ammonia. This pro­cedure was developed for tetracyclic compounds difficult to reduce. Dryden et al. [11, 65] established that the presence of small amounts of iron in tech­nical ammonia catalyzes the reaction of sodium and potassium and, to a far

16 METHODS AND EXAMPLES OF THE PERFORMANCE OF THE REACTION

smaller degree, lithium with ammonia and alcohols. This fact explains the inap­plicability of the Birch method to sparingl y-soluble anisoles and the success achiev­ed by Wilds and Nelson in the use of lithium. Consequently, Dryden et al. pro­posed to use redistilled ammonia freed from contamination with iron and a system of solvents consisting of liquid ammonia, tetrahydrofuran, and tert - butanol in a ra­tio of 2:1 :1. The improved solubility in this system has enabled the reduction of a large group of aromatic compounds to be carried out successfully.

The other modifications of the Birch reduction process consist in the use of two alkali metals in the reduction of polycyclic derivatives of styrene [28, 92], in the use of the monometh yl ether of 1 ,2- propylene gl ycol as proton donor [93], and the use of dimethoxyethane as auxiliary sol vent [91], and in a variation in the order of ad­dition of the reagents and in the working up of the reaction products, etc.

2,5-Dihydroanisole [94]

With stirring. 200 ml of liquid ammonia is added to a solution of 15 g of anisole in 50 ml of anhydrous ether cooled with dry ice, after which 4.5 g of lithium in small pieces is added to the flask and the reaction mixture is stirred for 10 min. Then 35 g of absolute ethanol is added dropwise over 30 min. After the evaporation of the ammonia at room temperature. ether and water are added to the reaction products, the layers are separated, and the aqueous layer is extracted with ether. Distillation of the combined ethereal extracts gives 12.8 g (yield 84'1d of 2,5-dihydroanisole containing, according to its UV spectrum (A. C2H 50H 268 nm), about 20'10 of the 2,3-dihydro derivative.

(about 1 h), the ammonia is evaporated off, and 150 ml of water is carefully added to the residue. The aqueous solution is extracted with ether, the sol­vent is distilled off, the resid ue is treated with 100 ml of ice-cooled 50/0 hydro­chloric acid, and the mixture is heated from 0 to 90°C over 20 min. After COOling, it is again extracted with ether, and the extract is dried over potassium carbonate and distilled. The results shown in Table 1 are obtained.

Piperitone [38]

A solution of 22 g of the B -hydroxyethyl ether of 2-isopropyl- 5-methyl­phenol is added to 350 ml of liquid ammonia. The mixture is reduced with 15 g of sodium and is worked up in the same way as described in the preceding method. This gives 14 g (yield 820/0) of piperitone (3-methyl-6 -isopropyl­cyclohex-2-en-1-one).

3-Methoxyestra-2,5(10)-dien-17B-ol (XI) [11]

A I-liter three-necked flask cooled with dry ice is charged with 300 ml of liquid ammonia. Then with stirring, a solution of 0.035 mole of the methyl ether of estradiol in a mixture of 150 ml of tetrahydrofuran and 150 ml of ethanol is added through a dropping funnel. Over 15 min, 0.6 g-atom of an alkali metal is added to the resulting solution. After the disappearance of the blue coloration of the solution, which generally requires 4-5 h, the re­action mixture is carefully treated with 40 ml of methanol. The ammonia is evaporated off in room temperature, and 250 ml of water is carefully added to the residue. The tetrahydrofuran is distilled off in the vacuum of a water pump, after which another 250 ml of water is added to the mixture. The precipi­tate of the reaction product (XI) is collected on a filter, carefully washed with cold water, and dried in the air. The results shown in Table 2 are obtained.

The authors express their deep gratitude to N. N. Pivnitskii for valuable advice and assistance in the work.
