Palladium(II)-catalyzed asymmetric acetalization of alkenes
摘要:
The terminal olefinic carbon of N-methacryloyl-2-oxazolidinones is smoothly acetalized by alcohols in the presence of PdCl2 catalyst. The use of 4(S)-isopropyl-, phenyl-, and tert-butyl-2-oxazolidinones as the chiral auxiliary resulted in the formation of the corresponding (2'S)-acetals in 61, 80, and 95% de, respectively. Reductive removal of the auxiliary with LiAlH4 followed by deacetalization produced (R)-3-hydroxy-2-methylpropanal. The enantiomer of this compound, derived from 4(R)substituted oxazolidinones, served as a building block for synthesizing a 1 beta-methylcarbapenem precursor in high enantiomeric excess. In the acetalization of 3',3'-dideuteriated methacryloyl-4-isopropyloxaiolidinone with MeOH, one D-atom on the terminal olefinic carbon stereoselectively migrated to the chiral center in the product acetal. On the basis of this 1,2-hydride migration and the conformational preference of the methacryloyl moiety, the reaction pathway and the mechanism of the diastereoselection are discussed.

Diarylprolinol was found to be an effective organocatalyst of the direct, enantioselective aldolreaction of commercially available polymeric ethyl glyoxylate, affording γ-ethoxycarbonyl-β-hydroxy aldehydes, versatile synthetic intermediates, in good yield with excellent enantioselectivity.

The development of a Ni(II) (S)-Tol-BINAP-catalyzed enantioselective alkylation of N-acylthiazolidinethiones with trimethyl orthoformate is described. The reaction is general with respect to the thiazolidinethione, providing the desired adducts in good to excellent yield and with high levels of enantioselectivity (11 examples, 51-92% yield, 90-99% ee). The products are readily converted into a variety of synthetically useful derivatives in a straightforward manner.
