Stereoselective titanium-mediated aldol reactions of (S)-2-tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy-3-pentanone
摘要:
Titanium-mediated aldol reactions based on (S)-2-tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy-3-pentanone, a lactate-derived chiral ketone, provide the corresponding 2,4-syn-4,5-syn adducts in high yields and diastereomeric ratios with a wide array of achiral and chiral aldehydes. Furthermore, spectroscopic studies of intermediates involved in the process have permitted to propose a mechanism that accounts for the experimental results. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

Chiral α-silyloxy ketones participate in highly stereoselectiveTiCl4-mediatedaldolreactions that afford diastereomerically pure syn–syn adducts in high yield irrespective of the R1 and R2 substituents flanking the carbonyl or the silicon protecting group. Further manipulation of the resulting aldol adducts provide in a straightforward manner highly functionalized fragments that facilitate the synthesis
Aldol-like reactions of titanium enolates derived from α-OH, α-OBn, and α-OTBS ketones with a series of aldehydes have been studied. In sharp contrast to the O-benzyl derivatives, the TBS-protected ketones lead to excellent yields and selectivities ( ratios from 30:1 to >95:1) even for the lactate-derived substrate (2-tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy-3-pentanone).
