Low-temperature reduction of acyclic (–)-mentholactone derivatives with diisobutylaluminum hydride in methylene chloride
摘要:
Low-temperature treatment of acyclic (-)-mentholactone derivatives with excess diisobutylaluminum hydride in methylene chloride afforded O-isobutyl derivatives of seven-membered lactols. Methyl 6-hydroxy-3,7-dimethyloctanoate behaved similarly to (-)-mentholactone, and its 6-oxo analog, similarly to (-)-mentholactone and isomentholactone.
A one-pot reaction sequence has been developed which converts secondary alcohols to esters via oxidation to the carbonyl compound and concomitant Baeyer-Villiger reaction. This procedure employs meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (mCPBA) as the primary oxidant in both steps and a catalytic amount of a cyclic Cr(VI) ester as a co-oxidant in the initial step. Isolated yields are typically very high and chromatographic purification of the crude product is often unnecessary for routine operations.
and their structures elucidated by NMR spectroscopy. Some hydroxylated menthols showed plant growth inhibitory and strong mosquito repellent activity. Among the hydroxylated cineoles, microbial and animalmetabolites of cineoles were included. From ent-kauranes, a plant growth inhibitory diterpene alcohol, (−)-16α-hydroxy kaurane was obtained along with 16α-kauran-13α-ol.

The diastereoselectivereactions of chiral seven-membered-ring enolates have been systematically investigated. Diastereoselectivity was found to be general for ϵ-lactams, ϵ-lactones, and cycloheptanones with various substituent patterns. Computational investigations provided insight into the origin of the diastereoselectivity. A model for predicting the stereochemistry of seven-membered-ring enolate

HOF . CH3CN complex, made easily by bubbling fluorine diluted with nitrogen through aqueous acetonitrile, proved to be a suitable oxidizer for various methyl ethers. Secondary ethers are oxidized to ketones and even to lactones via Baeyer-Villiger type of oxidation. The reaction is ionic, and the reagent's electrophilic oxygen attacks the relatively electron rich C-H bend alpha to the ether moiety. It was found that the more sterically hindered is the C-H bond in question, the slower the reaction. In cases where this bond is an electron poor one as in benzoin methyl ether (9), no reaction takes place. When labeled (HOF)-O-18 . CH3CN is used on a O-16 methyl ether, the resulting ketone possesses only the heavier oxygen isotope. Primary methyl ethers are somewhat slower to react, but they too were oxidized in very good yields to acids via the corresponding aldehydes.
