Non-Photochemical Route to Chiral Disubstituted [7]Thiaheterohelicenes via Biaryl- and Carbonyl-Coupling Reactions
摘要:
Non-photochemical syntheses of optically active dimethyl[7]thiaheterohelicenes (P)-(+)-14 and (M)-(-)-14 are described. The key transformations in the syntheses are the metal-mediated biaryl coupling reactions between two benzodithiophene units having oxazoline moieties and the intramolecular McMurry coupling reaction of the biaryl dialdehydes (S)-13 and (R)-13. The configuration of the atropisomer 10a obtained from the biaryl coupling reaction was shown to be S by X-ray analysis.
A novel route to disubstituted [7]thiaheterohelicene via biaryl- and carbonyl-coupling reactions
摘要:
A new non-photochemical synthesis of disubstituted heterohelicene is described. The directed metalation at the I-position of 2-(4,4-dimethyloxazolin-2-yl)-7-methylbenzo[1,2-b:4,3-b']dithiophene was accomplished by the use of BuLi in ether to give the organolithium species which, upon treatment with iodine and chlorotributyltin, gave 2-(4,4-dimethyloxazolin-2-yl)-1-iodo-7-methylbenzo-[1,2-b:4,3-b']-dithiophene and 2-(4,4-dimethyloxazolin-2-yl)-7-methyl-1-tributylstannylbenzo-[1,2-b:4,3-b']dithiophene in high yields. Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling between them, followed by the intramolecular McMurry coupling reaction, gave 2,13-dimethyl[7]thiaheterohelicene in good yield. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science
