A facile synthesis of bicyclo[m.n.1]alkan-1-ols. Evidence for organosamarium intermediates in the samarium(II) iodide promoted intramolecular Barbier-type reaction
摘要:
Samarium(II) iodide (SmI2) has been successfully employed as a reductive coupling agent for the intramolecular Barbier-type synthesis of bicyclo[m.n.1]alkan-1-ols. Thus, a variety of 3-(omega-iodoalkyl)cycloalkanones, upon treatment with SmI2 and a catalytic quantity of iron complex in tetrahydrofuran (THF), provide the title compounds in excellent yields. The reaction is quite general for the construction of diverse bicyclic ring systems, including the highly strained bicyclo[2.1.1]hexan-1-ol. In addition to exploring the synthetic utility of this reaction, studies have been performed which provide insight on the mechanistic details of the SmI2-promoted intramolecular Barbier-type synthesis. Compelling evidence for the intermediacy of organosamarium species has thus been gathered.
C-2 dimethyl seco-mevinic acids. Synthesis of monocyclic HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors from (R)-(-)-carvone.
摘要:
An efficient preparation of novel monocyclic HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors from (R)-(-)-carvone is reported. Utilizing this chiral carbon pool, the C-2 dimethyl seco-mevinic acid 3a was prepared in 17 steps and 5.2 % overall yield. The key chiral intermediate aldehyde 10a was prepared via a short and efficient synthetic sequence (six steps, 27% yield) from (R)-(-)-carvone. The appropriate chirality of the diol acid side chain was secured by employing the chiral acetate synthon ''(S)-HYTRA'' and by performing a stereoselective 1,3-syn reduction on the beta-hydroxy ketone 19. Structural requirements at the C-2 position are rather stringent, and deletion of or addition of an extra methyl group are both unacceptable modifications for this novel class of monocyclic HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors.
The first direct preparation of allylbarium reagents by reaction of insitu generated reactive barium with various allylic chlorides and their new and unexpected selective allylation reactions with carbonyl compounds are disclosed. Highly reactive barium was readily prepared by the reduction of barium iodide with 2 equiv of lithium biphenylide in dry THF at room temperature. A variety of carbonyl compounds reacted with barium reagents generated from (E)- or (Z)-allylic chlorides in THF at -78 degrees C. All reactions resulted in high yields with remarkable alpha-selectivities not only with aldehydes but also with ketones. The double bond geometry of the starting allylic chloride was completely retained in each case. Stereochemically homogeneous (E)- and (Z)beta,gamma-unsaturated carboxylic acids were easily prepared in good yields by highly alpha-selective carboxylation of allylic barium reagents with carbon dioxide. A selective Michael addition reaction with alpha,beta-unsaturated cycloalkanone was also achieved using an allylbarium reagent. Treatment of 2-cyclopentenone (1 equiv) with allylbarium chloride (2 equiv) in THF at -78 degrees C for 20 min afforded 3-allylcyclopentanone in 94% yield with a 1,4/1,2 ratio of >99/1. Furthermore, the in situ generated barium enolate was efficiently trapped with various kinds of electrophiles (Me(2)C=CHCH2Br, (C5H11CHO)-C-n, and CH3COCl).
