Asymmetric synthesis of 3-substituted 2-exo-methylenealkanones by addition-elimination reaction using a chiral leaving group and organometallic nucleophiles
摘要:
A novel diastereodifferentiating addition-elimination reaction of (S)-2-[[2-(methoxymethyl)-1-pyrrolidinyl]methyl]-2-alken-1-ones with organometallic reagents such as organocuprates and organozincates afforded optically active 3-substituted 2-methylenealkanones with high enantiomeric purity. The enantiomeric excess (ee) of the products in this asymmetric induction reaction involving 1,5-transfer of stereogenicity was highly dependent on the structure of the enone substrates and the type of organometallic reagents, chiral auxiliaries, and added Lewis acids: (i) the use of lithium diorganocuprates (R2CuLi) led to the highest ee's, (ii) in the reaction with R2CuLi the ee decreased in the following order by varying their structure of the main framework of the enones, cycloheptenones (96-97% ee) > cyclohexenones (95% ee) > cyclopentenones (82-85% ee) > acyclic enones (55-70% ee), (iii) the addition of LiBr as the external Lewis acid in the reaction with R2CuLi did not affect the ee, whereas that of ZnBr2 or MgBr2 decreased the ee by 5% or considerably more, respectively, and (iv) the existence of the methoxy oxygen atom in the chiral auxiliary was essential to achieve high ee's. The origin of the observed high and low ee's was rationalized by considering plausible transition state models.
A novel chiral ligand mimicking N-Ar axial chirality, (S)-N-[2-(diphenylphosphanyl)naphthalen-1-yl]-2-(piperidinylmethyl)piperidine, was found to exhibit good enantioselectivity (up to 80% ee) in the asymmetric cross-coupling reaction of 1-phenylethylmagnesium chloride with β-bromostyrene derivatives. Additionally, this type ligand is appealing, because it allows the synthesis of a wide variety of analogues.
aryl bromide groups, the chemoselective asymmetric cross-couplingreaction of the vinylbromide group is observed. This N–Ar axially chiral mimetic-type ligand allows easy synthesis of a wide variety of analogues, and starting from the initial ligand, the enantioselectivity of coupling products is improved by modifying the structure in the ligand.

The synthesis and asymmetric Birchreduction–alkylation of chiral benzamide 17 are described. Birchreductive alkylation of benzamide 17 was optimized to give the corresponding cyclohexa-1,4-diene products in 66–78% isolated yield and with high diastereoselectivity (dr: >98:2). The effects of performing the reduction in the presence and in the absence of tert-butyl alcohol are discussed.
A novel amine auxiliary for the asymmetric synthesis of a-substituted N-methylsulfonamides is described. The reaction of 4-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-5-amine (16) with various aliphatic sulfonyl chlorides afforded the corresponding sulfonamides, which were lithiated and subsequently reacted with electrophiles to give the corresponding products in high yields and good-to-excellent asymmetric inductions (de 83-95%). Racemization-free cleavage of the auxiliary led to the a-alkylated N-methylsulfonamides in acceptable yields and high enantiomer purities (ee 91 to greater than or equal to 98).
