1,3-Dipolar Cycloadditions to Baylis-Hillman Adducts: Rationale for the Observed Diastereoselectivity
摘要:
Diazomethane and benzonitrile oxide cycloadditions were performed on Baylis-Hillman adducts derived from methyl acrylate and aldehydes (beta'-alkoxy-alpha,beta-unsaturated esters). The reactions proceed in good chemical yields, and their stereochemical outcome can be explained by the ''inside alkoxy effect'' theory. In the case of diazomethane cycloadditions, however, electrostatic factors play a reduced role in comparison to the corresponding nitrile oxide reactions, while steric effects are of major importance in governing the stereoselectivity. This different behavior of the two 1,3-dipoles finds a rationale in the analysis of the atomic charges as calculated at the RHF/3-21G level of theory for the transition structure of these reactions.
The Importance of Electrostatic Interactions in the Stereoselective 1,3-Dipolar Cycloadditions of Nitrones to Chiral Allyl Ethers: An Experimental and Force Field Approach
The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of formaldehyde N-benzylnitrone with β′-alkoxy- and γ-alkoxy-α,β-unsaturated esters was investigated. The stereochemical outcome of these reactions was nicely rationalized on the basis of an interpretation of the inside alkoxy theory emphasizing the electrostatic interactions in the reaction TS. The force field approach previously developed for evaluating the stereoselection

We describe herein a highly diastereoselective total synthesis of racemic sitophilate, based on the results obtained in a diastereoselective heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation reaction of a set of Baylis-Hillman adducts originating from aliphatic aldehydes.
