Nucleophilic additions on acetyldioxanes derived from (−)-(1 R )-myrtenal used as chiral auxiliaries: substituent effects on the stereochemical outcome
摘要:
The synthesis of acetyldioxanes 4 and 9a starting from (-)-(1R)-myrtenal is described. The products were treated with a representative series of nucleophilic reagents (RMgX, RLi, NaBH4 and LiAlH4) to assess the effect of the substituent at C-3 on the stereochemical outcome. It was observed that the nucleophiles preferred the re -face of the C=O group when the equatorial substituent at C-3 was a methyl group, whereas a phenyl group at the same position induced the addition through the si-face, thus allowing access to either desired stereochemistry of a final product. This behavior suggests that the formation of the expected Cram-chelated coordination complex takes a coplanar orientation with the C-3 equatorial substituent. Moreover, Grignard reagents were the most stereoselective nucleophiles. The stereochemistry of the addition was established by X-ray diffraction and chemical correlation. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd.

New 2-acyl-1,3-dioxane derivatives from (1R)-(−)-myrtenal: stereochemical effect on their relative ability as chiral auxiliaries
摘要:
Four 3,10-pinanediol derivatives 1a-d, prepared in 50-72% global yields from (IR)-(-)-myrtenal 2, were treated with (RO)(2)CHCOR3 (R-3 = CH3, Ph) to afford 2-acyl-1,3-dioxanes 3a-f. The latter were submitted to nucleophilic additions using several Grignard reagents to mainly afford carbinols generated by re diastereofacial attack (85-99% yield, >= 88:12 dr). The lowest diastereoselectivity was observed when PhLi or hydrides were used as nucleophiles. Only an equatorial substituent at C-3 modifies the diastereoselectivity of the nucleophilic additions.
