A new enantioselective synthesis of (+)-brefeldin A is described. The five chiral centers are created by the following methodology: asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction to prepare the cyclopentanone 13, stereocontrolled reduction of the carbonyl in the ketone 14, stereocontrolled creation of the chiral centers C-4 and C-15 by a chiral sulfoxide group.
Asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction of 1,3-butadienes with (−)-dimenthyl fumarate in the presence of BBr3 and BBr3·OEt2
摘要:
Asymmetric synthesis of substituted cyclohexenes was performed by [4+2]-cycloaddition of (-)-dimenthyl fumarate to 1,3-butadienes in the presence of BBr3 and BBr3 center dot OEt2. The latter are efficient catalysts for this reaction. The effect of various factors on the chemical and optical yield of compounds synthesized was studied. The lowering of the reaction temperature to -70 degrees C favors increase in the enantiomeric purity of products C up to 81%. The overall yield of adducts grows with temperature and catalyst amount. The solvent character insignificantly affects the overall and optical yield of compounds obtained.

A range of 3,4-alkylated five-membered ring derivatives of gabapentin were synthesised. One compound (21) had an excellent level of potency against alpha(2)delta and was pro. led in in vivo models of pain and anxiety. (c) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
