Thermodynamically controlled asymmetric induction: Applications with the intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction involving a furan diene
摘要:
Treatment of a variety of optically pure IMDAF precursors, containing one asymmetric centre on the sidearm, under thermodynamic conditions with MeAlCl(2) (-78 degrees C), provides cycloadducts with up to 5 asymmetric centres of known absolute stereochemistry. The minor cycloadduct can be equilibrated in the presence of MeAlCl(2) (-78 degrees C) to provide more of the major isomer. Treatment of the major cycloadduct with excess MeLi provides a decalin ring with up to 6 asymmetric centres, 5 of which are contiguous, in high enantiomeric excess.
