Chemistry of dioxenium cations. Synthetic and mechanistic studies on the stereocontrolled formation of tetrahydropyrans from homoallylic alcohols and ortho esters
摘要:
Despite their long history, dioxenium cations are underutilized reactive synthetic intermediates. It was found that ortho esters and homoallylic alcohols in the presence of Lewis acids provide 4-heterosubstituted pyranosides in a stereoselective manner. The mechanistic course of events was supported by control experiments and synthesis of a putative mixed ortho ester intermediate which exhibited identical reactivity. A transition state for termination of the dioxenium cation-olefin cyclization is proposed, involving intramolecular delivery of chloride by a coordinated tin species. Structure-reactivity relationships indicate that a cation-stabilizing substituent (alkyl or alkoxy) at the internal position of the olefin is required for cyclization. A variety of 3-alkyl-substituted homoallylic alcohols cyclize cleanly to substituted 2-alkoxytetrahydropyrans in good yield. beta-silyloxy silyl enol ethers were found to smoothly provide 4-oxotetrahydropyranosides when subjected to the same reaction conditions. For these substrates, the course of the cyclization proceeds in a different manner involving a rapid intermolecular Mukaiyama aldol condensation followed by transacetalization.
