A tellurium transposition route to allylic alcohols: overcoming some limitations of the Sharpless-Katsuki asymmetric epoxidation
摘要:
Good yields of enantiomeric allylic alcohols can be obtained in high enantiomeric excess (ee) by combining the Sharpless-Katsuki asymmetric epoxidation process (SAE) with tellurium chemistry. The advantages of the tellurium process are as follows: (1) the 50% yield limitation on the allylic alcohol in the Sharpless kinetic resolution (SKR) can be overcome; (2) allylic tertiary alcohols which are unsatisfactory substrates in the SKR can be obtained in high optical purity; (3) optically active secondary allylic alcohols with tertiary alkyl substituents (e.g. tert-butyl) at C-1 can be obtained in high ee; (4) optically active sterically congested cis secondary alcohols can be obtained in high ee; and (5) the nuisance of the slow SAE of some vinyl carbinols can be avoided. The key step in the reaction sequence is either a stereospecific 1,3-trans position of double bond and alcohol functionalities or an inversion of the alcohol configuration with concomitant deoxygenation of the epoxide function in epoxy alcohols. Trans secondary allylic alcohols can be converted to cis secondary allylic alcohols by way of erythro epoxy alcohols (glycidols); threo glycidyl derivatives are converted to trans secondary allylic alcohols. These transformations are accomplished by the action of telluride ion, generated in situ from the element, on a glycidyl sulfonate ester. Reduction of elemental Te is conveniently done with rongalite (HOCH2SO2Na) in an aqueous medium. This method is satisfactory when Te2- is required to attack a primary carbon site of a glycidyl sulfonate. In cases where Te2- is required to attack a secondary carbon site, reduction of the tellurium must be done with NaBH4 or LiEt3BH. Elemental tellurium is precipitated during the course of the reactions and can be recovered and reused.

The preparation and directed dihydroxylation of a series of acyclic allylicalcohols is reported. The oxidation reaction is capable of demonstrating high levels of diastereoselection for the syn isomer. An explanation of the observed selectivities based on the degree of allylic strain is presented and a transition state model proposed.

In this protocol, we report a Mo-catalyzed anti-dihydroxylation of secondary allylic alcohols, providing a general method for the preparation of 1,2,3-triols bearing up to three continuous stereocenters with excellent diastereocontrol. The mechanistic studies reveal that this dihydroxylation reaction consists of two steps and up to excellent diastereomeric ratios of the final triol products can be

trans-secondary allylic alcohols can be converted to homochiral cis-secondary allylic alcohols by means of a telluride-mediated transposition reaction applied to the homochiral glycidol obtained from a Sharplesskineticresolution. (+)-Linalool is obtained in >95% enantiomeric excess from geraniol, an example of a transposition of a primary allylic alcohol to a homochiral tertiary alcohol.
The Co-catalyzed remote hydroboration and alkene isomerization of allylic siloxanes were realized by a ligand-controlled strategy. The remote hydroboration with dcype provided borylethers, while xantphos favored the formation of silyl enol ethers.
6,6,6-2H3-2E-Hexenal, leaf-aldehyde, has been synthesized in 45% yield and 99.3% purity by reaction of 3,3,3-2H3-n-propyl magnesium bromide with an ethereal solution of 3-trimethylsiloxy-2-propenal (3) prepared in situ. This new one pot procedure alleviates the need to isolate (3) and should prove useful in the synthesis of other E-α,β-unsaturated aldehydes.
