Applications of highly enantioenriched alcohols bearing a phenylthio group in the preparation of ring compounds. The two-pot synthesis of an enantiopure spiroacetal pheromone bearing three chiral centers
摘要:
The new chiron (S)-6-phenylthio-2-hexanol (3) was prepared in high enantiomeric excess by baker's yeast reduction of the corresponding ketone. Enantioenriched alcohols 1, 2 and 3, prepared previously by a similar procedure, or their racemic counterparts, were transformed into ring closed compounds 5-methyl-2-(phenylthio)tetrahydrofuran (9), 6-methyl-2-(phenylthio)tetrahydropyran (10), 2-methyl-1-phenylsulfonyl cyclopropane (14), cyclobutane (15), cyclopentane (16), and a bee pheromone, (2S,6R,8S)-2,8-dimethyl-1,7-dioxaspiro[5.5]undecane (20).

The new chirons (S)-4-(phenylthio)-2-butanol (4) and (S)-5-(phenylthio)-2-pentanol (3) have been prepared efficiently in high enantiomeric excess by enzymatic reduction of the corresponding readily available ketones. Using the latter as a chiral building block, the highly optically enriched insect pheromonal components (5S,7S)-7-methyl-1,6-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane (7), (2S,6R)-2-methyl-1,7-dioxaspiro[5.5]undecane (8), and (2S,6R)-2-methyl-1,7-dioxaspiro[5.6]dodecane (9) have been synthesized in one pot by sequential deprotonation, reductive lithiation, transmetalation with cerium(III) chloride, treatment with lactones, and acidification.
