Asymmetric acetalization: a simple method for the synthesis of chiral a-monosubstituted cyclopentanones
摘要:
Acetalization of alpha-monosubstituted cyclopentanones with chiral hydroxy thiols under equilibrating conditions afforded a mixture of acetals in a highly diastereoselective manner, and deacetalization of the product affords optically active alpha-monosubstituted cyclopentanones.
The generation and cyclization of several heterocyclic radicals were investigated. The hydrogen abstraction from 1,3-dithiane, 1,3-dithiolane, and 1,3-oxathiane rings by a benzophenone triplet generated the corresponding heterocyclic radicals, which gave the cyclized products by intramolecular addition to α,β-unsaturated esters. Diastereoselectiveradicalcyclizationusingchiral acetals was also investigated
Development of new odorless thiols (dodecanethiol, 4- n -heptylphenylmethanethiol, 4-trimethylsilylphenylmethanethiol, 4-trimethylsilylbenzenethiol) and an odorlesssulfide (1-methylsulfanyldodecane) and their applications to dealkylation, Michael addition, Swern oxidation, and Corey - Kim oxidation are described.
Several alkanethiols and p-alkylphenylmethanethiols were synthesized, and their odors were compared with those of ethanethiol and benzyl mercaptan by human and instrumental sensors. Among the various thiols analyzed. 1-dodecanethiol (1) and p-heptylphenylmethanethiol (3) were revealed to be odorless. 1-Dodecanethiol (1) has been used instead of ethanethiol for dealkylation of ethers, and p-heptylphenylmethanethiol (3) can replace benzyl mercaptan in the preparation of a 1,3-mercapto alcohol from an alpha,beta -unsaturated ketone. These odorless thiols will greatly improve the physical environment of the researcher working with these foul-smelling compounds. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
