Diastereoselective Synthesis of Highly Substituted Five-Membered-Ring Oxygen Heterocycles by Zirconocene-Mediated C-C Coupling Reactions
摘要:
As homoenolate equivalents, zirconocene-1-aza-1,3-diene complexes were used for the first time in stereoselective synthesis. By insertion of an unsymmetrical ketone in the Zr-C σ bond, sterically demanding trisubstituted dihydro- and tetrahydrofuran derivatives were prepared in good overall yields and with high diastereoselectivities (see below).

The reaction of α,β-unsaturated ketones 1 with an excess of lithium powder, a catalytic amount of naphthalene (4 %) and different carbonyl compounds in the presence of boron trifluoride in THF at −78 – 0°C yields, after treatament with silyl nucleophile and final hydrolysis, the expected substituted tetrahydrofurans 5. Similar methodology applied to β-aryl acrylic esters 6, but without using boron trifluoride
