Practical Syntheses of Enantiomerically Enriched γ-Lactones and γ-Hydroxy Ketones by the Alkylation of Pseudoephedrine Amides with Epoxides and Their Derivatives
摘要:
Pseudoephedrine amide enolates are shown to undergo efficient alkylation reactions with epoxides as electrophiles. Reactions with monosubstituted epoxides are subject to stereochemical matching such that the pairing leading to the 1,3-syn diastereomer is a highly selective, synthetically useful process, while the pairing forming the 1,3-anti diastereomer is not. Reactions with the 1,1-disubstituted epoxide isobutylene oxide are also highly diastereoselective and synthetically useful, but ethylene oxide exhibits poor diastereoselectivity. As an alternative to the use of ethylene oxide, 2-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)ethyl iodide is shown to undergo highly diastereoselective and efficient alkylation reactions with pseudoephedrine amide enolates. Interestingly, epoxides and alkyl halides are found to attack opposite pi-faces of pseudoephedrine amide enolates. The products of each of these alkylation reactions are transformed efficiently into gamma-lactones by acidic hydrolysis and into methyl ketones by the addition of methyllithium. The methodology described provides useful procedures for the synthesis of enantiomerically enriched gamma-lactones and gamma-hydroxy ketones.

On the structure of the Phytophthora α1 mating hormone: synthesis and comparison of four candidate stereoisomers

Two two-compound mixtures of candidate structures for the Phytophthora alpha 1 mating hormone have been synthesized. The mixtures were designed to have differing configurations at C3, but proved to be identical. This suggests that epimerization occurred at C3, and comparison with the data for the natural samples suggest that this is also a mixture of isomers. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Diversity-Oriented Synthesis of Polyketide Natural Products via Iterative Chemo- and Stereoselective Functionalization of Polyenoates: Development of a Unified Approach for the C(1−19) Segments of Lituarines A−C

A unified, stereocontrolled synthesis of the C(1-19) segments of the lituarines A-C (1-3) has been achieved, highlighted by application of an iterative chemo- and stereoselective trienoate functionalization protocol, a strategy that holds considerable promise for the diversity oriented synthesis of polyketides.
