Microwave-mediated intramolecular Diels–Alder cyclization of biodihydroxylated benzoic acid derivatives
摘要:
The synthetic utility of biodihydroxylated benzoic acid derivatives for the construction of bridge bicyclo scaffolds was investigated. Biodihydroxylation of benzoic acid using Ralstonia eutropha B9 gave (IS,2R)-1,2-dihydroxycyclobexa-3,5-diene-1-carboxylic acid (DCD) in high optical purity (>95% ee). Protection of the intermediate and subsequent functional group transformation gave the required cyclization precursors in moderate to excellent overall yields. Subsequent intramolecular Diels-Alder cyclization of biodihydroxylated benzoic acid derivatives was carried out using either thermal or microwave conditions. Enantiomerically pure products with five chiral centers were obtained in 4-6 steps from achiral starting material. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
