SmI2-Mediated 3-exo-trig cyclisation of δ-oxo-α,β-unsaturated esters to cyclopropanols and derivatives
摘要:
In the presence of samarium diiodide and a proton source, delta-oxo-gamma,gamma-disubstituted-alpha,beta-unsaturated esters of general formula R-CO-C(R',R')-CH=CH-CO2Bn readily cyclise to trans-cyclopropanol products and/or lactones derived from the cis isomers. For R=aryl, good stereoselectivities (ca 90%) in favor of the alcohols are generally obtained while a mixture of alcohols and lactones is obtained with R=alkyl or H. For R=cyclopropyl, the lactone is exclusively obtained in more than 90% yield. A mechanistic rationalisation of these variations of diastereoselectivity is proposed. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd.
