Controlling the Facial Selectivity of Asymmetric [4 + 2] Cyclo-additions: A Concise Synthesis of the cis-Decalin Core Structure of Superstolides A and B
摘要:
Reglo-, stereo-, and facial selective [4 + 2] cycloadditions between highly activated vinyl sulfones and 1,3-dienes derived from (R)-4-tert-wbutyldimethylsilyloxy-2-cyclohexen-1-one provide a powerful approach for the asymmetric synthesis of compounds containing the bicyclo[2.2.2]octanone carbon skeleton. This new methodology has been successfully applied to the asymmetric synthesis of the cis-decalin core structure of the potent anticancer marine natural products superstolides A and B.
Asymmetric [4+2] cycloadditions employing 1,3-dienes derived from (R)-4-t-butyldimethyl-silyloxy-2-cyclohexen-1-one
摘要:
1,3-Dienes derived from (R)-4-t-butyldimethylsilyloxy-2-cyclohexen-1-one react with activated dienophiles to form predominately (or sometimes exclusively) syn/endo products. These controlled [4+2] cycloadditions increase the asymmetric complexity from one asymmetric center in the starting material to five asymmetric centers in the products in a single step, and provide a powerful approach for the asymmetric synthesis of compounds containing the bicyclo[2.2.2]octanone carbon skeleton.
