Diols obtained via chemo and regioselective ring opening of epoxy alcohols: a straightforward synthesis of 2S,3S-Octandiol
摘要:
Epoxy alcohols are regio and chemoselectively opened to the corresponding iodohydrins and then reduced in situ to diols; the application of the described procedure leads to a short asymmetric synthesis of a well known pheromone. Also homoallylic (E and Z) epoxy alcohols and its benzylated derivatives shows high preference for regioselective opening affording the corresponding 1,3 diol.

regioselectivity of the geraniol epoxidation by methyl(trifluoromethyl)dioxirane (TFD) reveals that as for the less reactive dimethyldioxirane (DMD), hydrogenbonding stabilizes the transition state of the epoxidation. In proticmedia, the hydrogenbonding is exerted intermolecularly by the solvent, whereas in unpolar, non-hydrogen-bonding solvents intramolecular assistance through the adjacent hydroxy

Epoxidation of allylic alcohols with dimethyldioxirane is accompanied by oxidation of the hydroxy functionality; thus enone formation increases with decreasing substitution at the C-C double bond; nonetheless, selective epoxidation can be obtained by acylation of the alcohol functionality.

A mechanistically significant solvent effect is observed in the regioselectivity of the geraniol epoxidation by dimethyldioxirane. In hydrogen-bonding solvents (MeOH), the 6,7-epoxide is preferred over the 2,3-epoxide (74:26), which reveals that the more nucleophilic 6,7 double bond (the 2,3 double bond is inductively deactivated by the allylic hydroxy group) is preferentially attacked by the electrophilic dimethyldioxirane. In MeOH, both regioisomeric dipolar transition states are equally well stabilized by interaction through intermolecular hydrogen bonding with solvent molecules. In the nonpolar CCl4, intramolecular hydrogen bonding with the allylic hydroxy functionality favors attack at the 2,3 double bond and proportionally more 2,3-epoxide is formed. Similarly, also the pi-facial selectivity in the dimethyldioxirane epoxidation of methyl-substituted chiral acyclic allylic alcohols is controlled by intermolecular versus intramolecular hydrogen bonding. Thus, higher three selectivities are obtained in the nonpolar CCl4 by stabilization of the diastereomeric transition state with minimal allylic strain through intramolecular hydrogen bonding with the allylic hydroxy group. The geometry of the dipolar transition state for the dimethyldioxirane epoxidations is similar to that of m-CPBA, but with apparently a slightly larger (ca. 130 degrees) dihedral angle alpha to relieve 1,2-allylic strain.
