Asymmetric Synthesis of the Oxygenated Polycyclic System of (+)-Harringtonolide
摘要:
A straightforward asymmetric synthesis of the cage oxygenated structure of (+)-harringtonolide has been accomplished for the first time. The key steps involved (i) a templated stereoselective IMDA reaction to build a highly functionalized cyclohexene ring D, (ii) functionalization of the cycloadduct, (iii) ring-closing metathesis providing the five-membered ring C, and finally (iv) a challenging one-step cascade cyclization of an epoxy-alcohol toward the target structure, whose mechanism was investigated.
Utility of a chiral 1,3-dioxane template in stereoselective intramolecular Diels–Alder reactions
摘要:
The ethylidene acetal Of D-erythrose was used as a template for stereoselective IMDA reactions: high endo selectivity and yields in favor of the cis product were observed with 1,3,9-trienes, resulting from a boat transition state. For natural product synthesis, the reaction was successfully applied to a diene with terminal Z-olefin. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
asymmetric 1,3-dioxane template in intramolecularDiels-Alder reactions is reported. The 1,3,9-decatrienoates substrates gave predominantly the endo-boat products, with minor amounts of the exo-boat isomer. Various substitutions (14 examples) were introduced and the results gave an indication of the scope and also a few limitations of the method. In particular, the approach was applicable to (E,Z)-diene
(+)-harringtonolide were installed by functionalization of an enantiomerically pure IMDA cycloadduct, constructed from the chiral pool. The chiral 1,3-dioxane templateused to direct the IMDA reaction was unraveled in an acidic medium, through spectacular hydrolysis of the acetal and concomitant lactone ring contraction. The central cyclohexene was selectively epoxidized either on the β- or on the α-side
