Diastereoselective Synthesis of Enantiopure Acyclic β,β′-Disubstituted Vinylsulfoxides
摘要:
Thermal elimination of sulfenic acid from enantiopure beta,beta'-disubstituted bis-sulfoxides allows the stereoselective synthesis of enantiopure acyclic beta,beta'-disubstituted vinylsulfoxides. This mild and stereospecific synthesis provides either (E) or (Z) vinylsulfoxides in high yields and is compatible with acid or base sensitive functional groups.
Reactivity of the lithium anion of the (S,S)-bis-p-tolylsulfinyl methane. A versatile synthesis of enantiopure alkylidene 1,1-bis-p-tolylsulfoxides
摘要:
We describe herein a new synthesis of enantiopure alkylidene 1,1-bis-p-tolyl-sulfoxides (5), based on a two-steps sequence. The first one involves the alkylation of the lithium anion of the (S,S)-bis-p-tolylsulfinylmethane (1) with aldehydes. The second one consists in a mild dehydration of the sulfinyl alcohols 3 and 4 with the morpho CDI reagent. Some features (reactivity, diastereoselectivity) of the alkylation reaction are discussed.

A general study on the conjugateaddition of anionic nucleophiles to alkylidenebis(sulfoxides) is presented. Alkoxides gave high yielding and diastereoselectiveaddition reactions, which could be influenced by solvents and the counteranion. Azides provided an interesting entry into sulfinyl‐substituted triazoles. Organometallics, mainly copper reagents, proved also to be valuable nucleophiles, and
The first stereoselective synthesis of sphaeric acid is described. The key step of this synthesis is an efficient esterenolate conjugate addition onto alkylidene bis-sulfoxides with good to high diastereoselectivity. Formation of sphaeric acid allowed the determination of its absolute configuration as 2R.3R.
alkylidene bis-sulfoxides proceed with high diastereoselectivity. The oxidation of the resulting carbanions with iron(III) salts induces the radical cyclizations onto alkenes with a high diastereoselectivity leading to enantiopure carbo- or heterocycles. Moreover, allylic radicals have been generated by deprotonation or [1,6]-conjugate addition from alkylidene bis-sulfoxides followed by oxidation.
SET oxidation of bis-sulfinyl anions has enabled the uses of bis-sulfinyl radical as a synthetic equivalent of chiral acyl and methylene radicals involved in tandem reactions leading to the enantioselective construction of various carbo- and heterocyclic derivatives.
