Nucleophilic additions to and reductiosn of 5-formyl-and 5-acyl-2-isoxazolines (4,5-dihydeoisoxazoles): a stereoselective route to β,γ-dihydroxy ketones
摘要:
Reductions of readily available 5-acyl-2-isoxazolines with L-Selectride follow the Felkin-Anh model and produce syn-5-hydroxyalkyl-2-isoxazolines with excellent (> 95:5) selectivities. Swern oxidation of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-isoxazolines, followed by direct addition of a Grignard reagent to the intermediate 5-formyl-2-isoxazolines, also follows the Felkin-Anh model and produces anti-5-hydroxyalkyl-2-isoxazolines with modest (80:20) to excellent (> 95:5) selectivity. In contrast, additions of Grignard reagents to 5-acyl-2-isoxazolines follow the chelation model, and give syn or anti products (depending on choice of acyl substituent and Grignard reagent) with good (90:10) to excellent selectivity. These selectivities are almost always far superior to those that can be obtained by direct nitrile oxide cycloaddition to a chiral allylic alcohol or ether. The resulting products are readily reduced to syn- or anti-beta,gamma-dihydroxy ketones. A speculative model to explain this surprising reversal in selectivity between formyl and acyl isoxazolines is proposed.

We have demonstrated that the high yields and selectivities of 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions can be translated into facile stereoselective syntheses of a diverse array of beta-amino acids, key components of bioactive natural products, beta-lactams, and peptidomimetics. Simply by selecting different combinations of three readily available starting materials (an oxime, a chiral allylic alcohol, and a nucleophile), we used the reaction sequence to prepare four different beta-amino acid structural types with a variety of substitution patterns in good overall yield. Of particular note is the use of this approach to prepare highly substituted beta-amino acids not readily accessible by previously reported methodologies. This will pave the way for future studies of the structure and function of this important class of molecules.
