Highly Diastereoselective Ring-Opening Reactions of Chiral Acetals with Secondary or Sterically Hindered Grignard Reagents
摘要:
There has been an increasing interest in the stereoselective ring opening of acetals by means of nucleophiles.(1-4) Most of these approaches involve the preferential complex formation of acetals with a Lewis acid and subsequent invertive substitution by nucleophiles (Scheme 1).(2) The retentive ring cleavage of acetals has been investigated only briefly, mostly related to the reductive ring opening with metal hydrides.(3,4) Recently, Yamamoto and his co-workers reported the highly diastereoselective retentive alkylation of chiral acetals using novel organoaluminum reagents.(4) However, only methyl- or primary alkylaluminum reagents can be used. We now wish to describe our investigations on the highly diastereoselective reactions of secondary or sterically bulky Grignard reagents with chiral acetals prepared from aldehydes and tunable chiral diols.
