Enantioselective syn and anti Homocrotylation of Aldehydes: Application to the Formal Synthesis of Spongidepsin
摘要:
Whereas crotylboration has been a useful method for synthesis of stereochemically complex products, we have shown that homocrotylboration can be achieved with cyclopropanated crotylation reagents, and that the stereo-selectivity of the reaction can be predicted by analogous models. This paper presents a full account of this work, including the first examples of asymmetric anti homocrotylation. The scope of this reaction is demonstrated with highly enantioselective homocrotylation of both aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes, as well as double diastereoselection studies. An application of the synthesis of the marine natural product spongidepsin is presented, as well as streamlined syntheses of homocrotylation reagents.
Homoallylboration and Homocrotylboration of Aldehydes
摘要:
A simple method for addition of homoallylic fragments to aldehydes is described. Cydopropanated allylboration reagents react with aldehydes in the presence of PhBCl2 to give high yields of bishomoallyl alcohols. Cyclopropanated cis- and trans-crotyl reagents afford the corresponding 1,3-anti- and 1,3-syn-methyl-substituted "homocrotylated" alcohols with high selectivity, consistent with a Zimmerman-Traxler transition state. Accordingly, the optically active alpha-substituted reactant affords the E-substituted product in 97:3 er.

An enantioselective synthesis of macrocyclic core of (+)‐callyspongiolide is described, constituting a formalsynthesis of this natural product. The synthetic strategy constructs the 14‐membered macrocyclic domain via Yamaguchi esterification followed by a challenging ring‐closingmetathesis (RCM) to effect the final formation of the macrolactone.

A practical route to optically pure syn-homocrotylation reagents is described, including highly diastereo- and enantioselective preparation of numerous syn-homocrotyl products, as well as several matched mismatched pairs. NMR experiments suggest that the active homocrotylating species is a cyclopropylcarbinyldichloroborane generated by chloride exchange from the PhBCl2 activator. Computational studies support the intermediacy of chloroboranes and suggest that homoallyl/homocrotyl transfers occur through Zimmerman-Traxler transition states.

Boron tris(trifluoroacetate) is identified as the first effective catalyst for the homoallyl- and homocrotylboration of aldehydes by cyclopropylcarbinylboronates. NMR spectroscopic studies and theoretical calculations of key intermediates and transition states both suggest that a ligand-exchange mechanism, akin to our previously reported PhBCl2-promoted homoallylations, is operative. Our experimental and theoretical results also suggest that the catalytic activity of boron tris(trifluoroacetate) might originate from more facile catalytic turnover of the trifluoroacetate ligands (in agreement with DFT calculations) or from a lower propensity for formation of off-pathway reservoir intermediates (as observed by H-1 NMR). This work shows that carboxylates are viable catalytic ligands for homoallyl- and homocrotylations of carbonyl compounds and opens the door to the development of catalytic asymmetric versions of this transformation.
