IMPROVED HORNER-WADSWORTH-EMMONS PREPARATION OF α-METHYL- OR α-ETHYL-α,β-UNSATURATED ESTERS FROM ALDEHYDES
摘要:
The E-isomer selectivity of the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination of aldehydes to form alpha -methyl- or alpha -ethyl-alpha,beta -unsaturated esters has been improved by using lithium tert-butoxide as the base, triethyl-2-phosphonopropionate or triethyl-2-phosphonobutyrate as the phosphonate, an aldehyde, and hexane as the reaction solvent. Greater E-isomer selectivity was observed in the formation of alpha -methyl-alpha,beta -unsaturated esters than alpha -ethyl-alpha,beta -unsaturated esters. These compounds are useful intermediates for the synthesis of insect pheromones and natural products.

This paper describes a highly effective and mild asymmetric monoepoxidation method for conjugated dienes using a fructose-derived chiral ketone 1 as catalyst and Oxone as oxidant. The regioselectivies and enantioslectivies are very high in most cases. For unsymmetrical dienes, the regioselectivity can be regulated by using steric and electronic control. The olefin substrates include trans-disubstituted and trisubstituted olefins that can bear a wide range of functional groups such as hydroxyl groups, TBS ethers, or esters. The enantiomeric excesses for the major monoepoxides range from 89% to 97%. The epoxidation is believed to proceed via a spiro mode.
