An Efficient Palladium Catalyzed Stereocontrolled Synthesis of 4a-Angular Methyl Substituted Hydrofluorenes
摘要:
A high yield s tereoselective synthesis of 4a-angularly methyl substituted cis-hexahydrofluorenes 5a-h and tetrahydrofluorenes 7a,b has been developed by palladium-catalyzed intramolecular Heck-type cyclization of the respective exo-olefins 4a-h and 4a,b through exclusive 5-exo-trig mode.
Bu(3)SnH-mediated aryl radicalcyclizationonto methylenecycloalkanes having a phenylthio, an ester, or a nitrile group at the terminus of the alkenic bond provides exclusively exo cyclization products. The results are in sharp contrast to those reported for nonsubstituted methylenecycloalkanes, which give exclusively endo cyclization products. Formation of endo cyclization products has been suggested

The cyclization of an aryllithium tethered to a methylenecycloalkane, generated from 2-(o-bromobenzyl)-1-methylenecycloalkanes 1, 2, and 3 by low-temperature lithium-bromine exchange, has been found to be a kinetically slow but thermodynamically favorable process that proceeds at a convenient rate in an exclusively 5-exo fashion when solutions of the aryllithium in n-heptane-di-n-butyl ether (9:1 v/v) are warmed to 45 degreesC. The cyclization affords stereoisomerically pure cis-fused products (7 and 8) when the methylenecycloalkane is five- or six-membered but it is less stereoselective when the methylenecycloalkane is seven-membered. The ring-closure of the aryllithium derived from 2-(o-bromobenzyl)-1-methylenecyclohexane (2) provides an experimentally convenient route to stereoisomerically pure 4a-substituted cis-hexahydrofluorenes in 60-90% isolated yield.
