Process-scale preparation of enantiomerically pure γ-lactones by asymmetric hydrogenation of γ-ketoesters and comparative tests of the sensory properties of some antipodes
摘要:
A reliable methodology, applicable on a process-scale level, for producing enantiomerically pure chiral gamma-lactones by enantioselective hydrogenation of gamma-ketoesters, followed by cyclisation of the resulting gamma-hydroxyesters, has been developed. The multi-step procedure was transformed into a one-pot reaction. A very efficient chiral Ru-complex, based on the bilieteroaromatic diphosphine ligand tetraMe-BITIOP, was developed as a catalyst, capable of coupling fast kinetics with high stereoselection levels. Its structure was fully elucidated through P-31 NMR, EPR and X-ray single-crystal analyses. The optimal experimental conditions are as follows: hydrogen pressure = 30 psi, S/C ratio = 2000, 30% in weight substrate concentration. Yields are quantitative and enantiomeric excesses in the range 98-99.9%. Sensorial tests on the antipodes of two gamma-lactones demonstrated the very different properties of the enantiomers.

The direct conversion of allylicalcohols to saturated carbonyls, using Fe(CO)5 as a catalyst, offers good synthetic potential. Mono-, di- and even trisubstituted alkenes bearing various alkyl, aryl and electronwithdrawing groups on the allylic system give good to excellent yields of rearranged products. Limitations occur mainly with polyunsaturated derivatives. This reaction was applied to a short
The iron(III)-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction between Grignard reagents and acylchlorides was found to be widely applicable to the synthesis of various functionalized ketones in good yields under mild conditions; the series of examples includes the synthesis of chiral methyl ketones and symmetric diketones.

Imidazolium-type roomtemperatureionic liquids (RTILs) have been used for the Stetter reaction, affording the desired 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds in good yields. Thiazolium salts and Et3N are efficient catalysts for this reaction performed in ionic liquid. The possibility to recycle and reuse the solvent has been demonstrated, although it was not possible to recycle the thiazolium catalyst. This method
Syntheses of gem-difluorocyclopropyl ketones (3a–d) and their reactions with nucleophiles are described. Ring opening reactions of 3a,c and d with a methanolate and a thiolate anion took entirely different courses of bond scission of the cyclopropane ring.
