New Chiral Synthons for Efficient Introduction of Bispropionates via Stereospecific Oxonia−Cope Rearrangements
摘要:
Compounds 1 and 2 are novel synthons for bispropionate synthesis, undergoing stereospecific Lewis acid-catalyzed transfer of the bispropionate unit with a variety of aldehydes, including alpha-chiral aldehydes. Thus 1 leads to the E-alkene bispropionate 3 with anti-stereochemistry, whereas diastereomer 2 gives the Z-alkene product 4, under mild conditions and with complete stereospecificity. The efficacy of this methodology is demonstrated in a short synthesis of invictolide beginning with 2 and (R)-2-methylpentanal.
