The Role of theα-Stereogenic Center in the Control of Stereoselection in the Reduction ofα-Alkyl-β-hydroxy Ketones: A Highly Diastereoselective Protocol for the Synthesis of 1,2-syn-2-Alkyl-1,3-diols
摘要:
Accurate investigations on the role played by an alpha-stereogenic center in controlling the reduction of various classes of beta-hydroxy ketones allowed us to set up a general and highly diastereoselective protocol for the synthesis of 2-alkyl-1,3-diols with 1,2-syn relationship. This methodology is based on the conversion of a beta-hydroxy ketone into the corresponding titanium alcoholate that permits us to organize the substrate in a stable and rigid structure, which stereofacially favors attacking hydride ions. The use of THF as solvent makes available a variety of hydride donors that cover a large spectrum of steric demand: the choice of the more appropriate one depends on the conformational stability of the cyclic intermediate. Excellent results are obtained also in the presence of an additional stereogenic center in the beta-position, even if it exerts a concordant or an opposite steric effect with respect to the alpha-substituent.

T-butyldimethylsilyl ethers of a range of acyclic 2-alkyl-3-hydroxy-ketones are reduced with lithium aluminum hydride to give with a high 1,2-antidiastereoselective induction syn,anti or anti,anti 2-alkyl-1,3-diols.
derived from acyclic ketones reacted with aldehydes to give syn,syn-1,3-diols 7a and 8a with moderate to high diastereoselectivity. The stereochemical outcome can be attributed to a syn-selective aldol reaction and the subsequent 1,2-syn-selective intramolecular reduction.

Syn-selective reduction protocols for beta-hydroxy ketones are described exploiting the intermediacy of titanium and boron chelates derived from TiCl4 and BCl3, respectively, Reductions are conducted at -78 degrees C in CH2Cl2 using a wide range of CH2Cl2-soluble reducing agents, Added acid-scavenging agents are detrimental to reaction selectivity, An A((1,3))-like interaction involving the stereocenter responsible for asymmetric induction provides conformational biasing of the intermediate chelates necessary for high diastereoselectivity.

[GRAPHICS]This paper reports the utility of simple metal alkoxides for the catalytic, stereoselective hetero-aldol-Tishchenko reaction (eq 1), Choice of metal alkoxide is crucial to achieving high efficiency and stereoselectivity, Whereas NaO-t-Bu is an effective catalyst, delivering one product in 68% yield and 99:1 stereoselection, Sm(O-i-Pr)(3) is less effective and delivers the same product in 42% yield with 4:1 stereoselection.
