Optically Active Cyclobutanone Chemistry: Synthesis of (−)-Cyclobut-A and (±)-3‘-Epi-Cyclobut-A
摘要:
The carbocyclic nucleoside analogues (-)-cyclobut-A and (+/-)-3'-epi-cyclobut-A were synthesized utilizing photolysis of the (benzyloxymethyl)(methoxy) chromium carbene complex 4 with optically active ene-carbamate 5 to produce the corresponding optically active alpha,alpha-disubstituted cyclobutanone 6. Stereoselective removal of the alpha-ethoxy group with inversion gave cyclobutanone 7, which was converted by existing methodology to the title compounds.
