Allenylstannanes (S)-4 and (R)-4, available in ca. 90% ee from alkynones 1 through reduction with the LiAlH4-Darvon alcohol or -ent-Darvon alcohol complex, followed by S(N)2' displacement on the derived mesylates (R)-3 or (S)-3 with Bu3SnLi.CuBr.Me2S, readily add to various aldehydes under Lewis acid catalysis to afford optically active homopropargylic alcohols with good to excellent syn diastereoselectivity. With 2-(benzyloxy)propanal (48), MgBr2-catalyzed reactions are highly stereoselective, affording the syn adduct 49 from the (S)-stannane (S)-4 and the anti adduct 52 from the (R)-stannane (R)-4. BF3-promoted additions give mainly or exclusively the syn adducts 49 and 51. Additions of (S)- and (R)-4 to (R)-3-(benzyloxy)-2-methylpropanal (61) yield the syn adducts 62 and 64 as major or exclusive products.
An Expeditious Access to Enantiomerically Purecis-Dialkyl-Substitutedγ- andδ-Lactones
A facile general route to enantiomerically pure 3,4-cis-dialkyl-substituted gamma -lactones and 4,5-cis-dialkyl-substituted delta -lactones by TiCl4-mediated Evans asymmetric aldolization as the key step is exemplified by synthesis of cis-(3R,4R)-3-methyldecan-4-olide and (4R,5R)-aerangis lactone.
