Aluminum-Catalyzed Enantio- and Diastereoselective Carbonyl Addition of Propargylsilanes. A New Approach to Enantioenriched Vinyl Epoxides
摘要:
A new pathway involving a Lewis acid-catalyzed carbonyl addition reaction of propargylsilanes and its subsequent development into a general enantio- and diastereoselective process are described. Aliphatic propargylsilanes with both saturated and unsaturated sidechains were effective nucleophiles affording highly functionalized chiral vinyl epoxides in good enantioselectivities (85-94% ee), excellent diastereoselectivities (> 99:1 E:Z; > 99:1 anti:syn) and in moderate to good yields (49-97%).
1-Substituted allenylsilanes reacted with 3-alkoxycyclobutanones in the presence of TiCl4 to afford 8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3-ones stereoselectively. Nucleophilic attack of allenylsilanes to a 1,4-zwitterionic intermediate formed from 3-alkoxycyclobutanones and TiCl4 followed by 1,2-silyl migration, five-membered cyclization with an alkoxy group, and seven-membered cyclization of titanium enolate
