Synthesis and absolute configuration of the insecticidal sesquilignan (+)-HAEDOXAN a in honour of professor G. H. Neil Towers 75th birthday
摘要:
The insecticidal neolignan, (+)-haedoxan A, was synthesized from (S)-(+)-beta-vinyl-gamma-butyrolactone and (2R,3R)-(+)-6-formyl-7-methoxy-3-methoxymethyl-2-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-1,4-benzodioxane, and its absolute configuration was unequivocally established as 1S,2R,5R,6S,2"R,3''R.

β-alkyl substituted γ-lactones and whiskey lactone analogues were synthesized, and the odor properties were evaluated. During the preparation of the chiral intermediates, we found good reaction conditions for the highly enantioselective esterification of 3-arylmethyl-2-methyl-1-propanols to kinetically resolve them. The results of the olfactoryevaluations of the synthesized lactones revealed that the alkyl
The spatial arrangement of groups within a chiral ligand is essential for its catalytic performance. This work describes convenient synthesis of (R,Sp)-1-(2-(diphenylphosphano)ferrocenyl)-1-(2-diphenylphosphanophenyl)-N,N-dimethylmethanamine, a diastereomer of the well known (R,Rp)-Taniaphos ligand. The compound was prepared from the same homochiral amine as Taniaphos by sequential twofold lithiation
A significant improvement in enantioselectivity has been achieved in the 1,4-additions of diethylzinc to 2-cyclopentenone, 2-cyclohexenone and 5,6-hydro-2H-pyran-2-one (up to 93%, 98% and 94% ee, respectively) by using a chiral diphosphite-copper catalyst under suitable reaction conditions.

Ferrocene phosphane–carbene ligands in Cu-catalyzed enantioselective 1,4-additions of Grignard reagents to α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds
Chiral ferrocene phosphane-carbenes are good ligands for the copper-catalyzed 1,4-addition of Grignard reagents to various Michael acceptors. The products were obtained in high enantiomeric purity (up to e.r. = 95:5) and excellent regioselectivity (r.r. = 99:1). These ligands are also useful for domino conjugate addition followed by enolate trapping with imine and aldehyde. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Intramolecular insertion into unactivated prochiral C-H bonds of 3-aryl-1-propyl diazoacetates catalyzed by dirhodium(II) tetrakis[methyl 1-(3-phenyl propanoyl)imidazolidin-2-one-4(R or S)-carboxylate], Rh-2(4R-MPPIM)(4) or Rh-2(4S-MPPIM)(4), occurs in 91-96% ee and with virtually complete regiocontrol for the formation of beta-benzyl-gamma-butyrolactones. This methodology has been applied to the total synthesis of dibenzylbutyrolactone lignans (-)- and (+)-enterolactone, (-)- and (+)-hinokinin, and (+)-arctigenin from substituted cinnamic acids in 19-27% overall yields. Aryltetralin lignan (+)-isodeoxypodophyllotoxin was prepared from the reactant 3,4-(methylenedioxy)cinnamic acid in 36% yield overall, and the lactone precursor to (+)-isolauricerisinol was formed in 96.5% ee and 23% yield overall. Applications of the chiral Rh-2(MPPIM)4 catalysts to fully aliphatic systems resulting in the formation of beta-substituted-gamma-butyrolactones with high regiocontrol and with 93-96% ee have demonstrated the generality of this methodology. A model that provides accurate predictions of beta-substituted-gamma-butyrolactone absolute configurations in these asymmetric metal carbene transformations is described.
