Hydroxyl-Directed Intermolecular Ketone-Olefin Couplings Promoted by SmI2
摘要:
SmI2-promoted intermolecular ketone-olefin couplings are facilitated and stereocontrolled by hydroxyl groups incorporated within the starting materials. For example, the SmI2-induced ketone - olefin coupling reactions of alpha-hydroxy ketone 5 with ethyl acrylate, acrylonitrile, ethyl crotonate, and 2(5 H)-furanone proceeded with high stereocontrol to afford the syn-1,2-diol products 6-9 in good yields. Excellent diastereoselectivity was achieved in the reductive couplings of beta-hydroxy aldehyde 21 and erythro-beta-hydroxy ketone 24 with acrylonitrile using SmI2, to produce the anti-1,3-diols 22 and 25 in good yields. The sense of the stereo-selectivity was in full accord with a chelation-control model. In the proposed model, the stereochemistry of the reaction product is explained by assuming that a cyclic ketyl radical is generated during the initial single-electron reduction by SmI2. This radical species results from the chelation of the Sm-III cation, attached to the ketyl radical, with the hydroxyl group.
coupling reactions of α-(alkoxycarbonyl)amino ketones 1 and 3 with methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, and tert-butyl crotonate took place with high stereocontrol about the new chiral centers providing the syn-1,2-amino alcohol products, syn-trans-γ-lactones 2 and 4, in excellent yields. Apparently, the stereochemicalcourse of these reductive couplings is stereocontrolled by chelation of the Sm(III) cations

From a screen of (cyanide)metal complexes, an improved catalyst for the cross silyl benzoin addition was discovered. Several M(CN)(3) complexes (M = Ce, Er, Sm, Y, Yb, La) were evaluated and lanthanum tricyanide was identified as the optimal catalyst. The catalyst, prepared in situ from LaCl3, effects the selective coupling of aryl and alkyl acylsilanes with aryl, heteroaryl, alpha,beta-unsaturated, and aliphatic aldehydes. The reactions occur at ambient temperature in less than 5 min to provide, depending on the workup, alpha-hydroxy or alpha-silyloxy ketones in 48-93% isolated yield.

Samarium(II) Iodide Promoted Intermolecular Ketone-Olefin Couplings Chelation-Controlled by .alpha.-Hydroxyl Groups
The hydroxyl group directed intermolecular ketone-olefin coupling reactions induced by SmI2 between alpha-hydroxyl ketones and alpha,beta-unsaturated esters occurred with excellent stereochemical control about the newly formed asymmetric centers.
