Stereoselective Reductive Rearrangement of α-Hydroxy Epoxides: A New Method for Synthesis of 1,3-Diols1
摘要:
A novel and short synthetic method for the stereoselective synthesis of 1,3-diols has been developed by an unusual reductive rearrangement of a series of cl-hydroxy epoxides with aluminum isopropoxide. The reaction process was also investigated with deuterium-labeled aluminum isopropoxide, which revealed a site-specific 1,2-carbon-to-carbon migration and successive stereoselective hydride shift. The main synthetically valuable feature is that up to three contiguous carbon centers, the C-1, C-2, and C-3, were stereoselectively controlled with C-2 being quaternary. This reaction is of particular importance to the synthesis of newly developed powerful asymmetric hydrogenation catalysts containing the chiral ligands of spirocyclic diols.
which generated the same allyloxyl radical by in situ photolysis of the corresponding nitrite formed in the presence of t-BuONO (which also played the role of spin-trap). The formation and trapping of carbon-centered radicalsderivedfrom the allyloxyl radical, as well as from the peroxyl radical, are described. The generation of these highly reactive radicals in the epidermis could lead to the formation
