A General Diastereoselective Synthesis of Spiroacetals Related to Those in Ionophores via the Reaction of Lactones with Cerium(III) .gamma.-Cerioalkoxide. MAD Reverses the Diastereoselectivity of the Addition of Methylmetallics to a .beta.-Keto Ether
摘要:
The following steps constitute a fairly general and stereoselective synthesis of spiroacetals. 1. Thiophenol is added to acrylic acid. 2. The latter is treated consecutively with butyllithium, CeCl3, and an organolithium compound. 3. The resulting 3-(phenylthio) ketone is either reduced in the presence of zinc ion to yield mainly one diastereomer or treated with methyllithium or methylmagnesium chloride in the presence or absence of methylaluminum bis(2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-mthylphenoxide) (MAD, 25) to yield selectively either of two diastereomeric 3-(phenylthio) alcohols. 4. The alcohol is treated with butyllithium, lithium 4,4'-di-tert-butylbiphenylide (LDBB), and CeCl3, to yield a cerium(III) gamma-cerioalkoxide, which is added to a lactone, the reaction being quenched with acid. In the addition to the keto ether in the absence of MAD, methyllithium or methylmagnesium chloride give very predominantly the erythro alcohol, presumably via Cram's chelate model, while in the presence of excess MAD, the three product is very predominant, possibly because each oxygen atom is complexed with the bulky aluminum reagent. The methodology is demonstrated by the preparation of diastereomeric spiroacetals related to those found in a number of natural ionophores by using as the reaction partner of the carboxylate salt, alpha-lithio tetrahydrofuran or tetrahydropyran, readily generated by reductive lithiation of the corresponding alpha-(phenylthio) heterocycle with LDBB, and by employing methylmetallics rather than reducing agents for the reaction with the ketone.

ketones in the reaction of organolithiums with lithiumcarboxylates. The CeIII suppresses the enolization of the lithiumcarboxylate, previously unrecognized as a competing reaction except in special cases, and the formation of tertiary alcohols. One of the reasons for the latter effect is a surprising increase in the rate of addition of the organometallic to the lithiumcarboxylate in the presence
