Synthesis of Enantiomerically Pure Fluoro- and gem-Chlorofluorocyclohexane Derivatives
摘要:
gem-Chloronuorocyclohexanols 10 are prepared in good yields by radical-promoted cyclization from the corresponding omega-dichlorofluoroheptenols 4. Fluorocyclohexanols 11 are obtained either from 10 or in a single step from open-chain alcohols 4. The stereochemical outcome of both the radical cyclization and the reductive dechlorination is discussed. Elimination of the chiral auxiliary sulfinyl group and appropriate elaborations afford enantiomerically pure derivatives 12-17. Relative and absolute configurations as well as preferred conformations in solution for all final compounds are provided.

Monofluorocyclohexanols 1 are obtained in opticallypure form through radical cyclization of gem-chlorofluoroheptenols 2 which derive from the condensation of α-lithium derivative of sulfoxide 3 on racemic ethyl chlorofluoroacetate 4, and hydride-promoted reduction of the intermediate ketones 5. Some considerations on the stereochemical course of the radical promoted cyclization reaction follow.
gem-Chlorofluorocyclohexanols 8 bearing a methyl and a p-tolylsulphinyl substituent have been obtained in optically pure form by radical cyclization of the corresponding halo-alkenes 4. Reductive dechlorination of both (6R)- and (6S)-8 gave fluoroderivative (6R)-9, which through functional group elaborations gave the hydroxyfluoro- and trihydroxyfluoro-cyclohexane derivatives 12 and 15.
