Versatile Synthesis of 11-Oxabicyclo[4.4.1]undeca-1,5-dienes by Selective Epoxidation of 1,6-Disubstituted (E,Z,E)-1,3,5-Hexatrienes and Subsequent Cope Rearrangement
摘要:
1,6-Disubstituted (E,Z,E)-1,3,5-hexatrienes (1a-c, 2a-e), obtained in good yields (43-81%) by 2-fold Heck couplings of 1,2-dibromocyclopentene and 1,2-dibromocyclohexene, respectively, with alkenes, can be oxidized regioselectively at the central double bond with various oxidants such as dimethyldioxirane (DMDO), m-CPBA, or trifluoroperacetic acid in moderate to good yields (45-87%). The resulting 1,2-dialkenylcyclohexene epoxides 4a-e undergo thermal Cope rearrangements to furnish 1,6-oxygen-bridged cyclodeca-1,5-dienes 8a-e, which are 2-fold anti-Bredt bridgehead alkenes. The structure of compound 8a was established by X-ray analysis. The corresponding 1,2dialkenylcyclopentene epoxides 3a-c give only 2,2-dialkenylcyclopentanones 9a,b by an acid-catalyzed 1,2-alkenyl shift (71-100% yield) or indan derivatives 12b,c (46-82%) resulting from elimination, 6 pi-electrocyclization, and aromatization.
