Asymmetric synthesis of 3-substituted 2-exo-methylenealkanones by addition-elimination reaction using a chiral leaving group and organometallic nucleophiles
摘要:
A novel diastereodifferentiating addition-elimination reaction of (S)-2-[[2-(methoxymethyl)-1-pyrrolidinyl]methyl]-2-alken-1-ones with organometallic reagents such as organocuprates and organozincates afforded optically active 3-substituted 2-methylenealkanones with high enantiomeric purity. The enantiomeric excess (ee) of the products in this asymmetric induction reaction involving 1,5-transfer of stereogenicity was highly dependent on the structure of the enone substrates and the type of organometallic reagents, chiral auxiliaries, and added Lewis acids: (i) the use of lithium diorganocuprates (R2CuLi) led to the highest ee's, (ii) in the reaction with R2CuLi the ee decreased in the following order by varying their structure of the main framework of the enones, cycloheptenones (96-97% ee) > cyclohexenones (95% ee) > cyclopentenones (82-85% ee) > acyclic enones (55-70% ee), (iii) the addition of LiBr as the external Lewis acid in the reaction with R2CuLi did not affect the ee, whereas that of ZnBr2 or MgBr2 decreased the ee by 5% or considerably more, respectively, and (iv) the existence of the methoxy oxygen atom in the chiral auxiliary was essential to achieve high ee's. The origin of the observed high and low ee's was rationalized by considering plausible transition state models.

Indium chloride catalyzed alkylative rearrangement of propargylic acetates into α-alkyl-α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds has been achieved. Propargylic acetates functioned as α-acylvinyl anion equivalents to react with carbocations generated from alkyl chlorides. Other alkyl electrophiles such as alcohols and acetates were also applicable.
α-branched enones has been established. Starting from readily available aryl iodides and allenes, with formic acid as the CO source and reductant, moderate to good yields of the desired enones were isolated. Although it is a carbonylation methodology, the use of a CO source can avoid the manipulation of CO gas directly. Notably, this procedure also presents the first example on carbonylative synthesis of α-branched
