Highly enantioselective synthesis of α-methylene-δ-valerolactones by an asymmetric Michael reaction
摘要:
The synthesis of alpha-methylene-6-valerolactones 7, 13, and 19 with enantiomeric excesses of 90-97% was achieved by the asymmetric Michael reaction of chiral imines 3, 9, and 15 with the acrylate 1. Reduction of the carbonyl group of the resulting adducts followed by lactonization and HWE reaction with formaldehyde yielded the lactones as mixtures of diastereoisomers. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

The reduction of homochiral beta-enamino esters 1 with sodium triacetoxyborohydride, which occurs with good diastereo- and enantioselectivity in the beta-amino esters 2, is described. This procedure allows a straightforward preparation of compounds with known biological activity.

The reduction of enantiopure beta-enamino esters 1 with sodium triacetoxyborohydride in acetic acid is described. This occurs with good diastereo- and enantioselectivity to yield beta-amino esters 2 and 3 (after hydrogenolysis of the N-chiral group). A model is reported for the origin of the stereoselectivity through an enol ester-diacetoxyborohydride 6, which affords the intramolecular reduction. By choosing the appropriate chiral amine, this procedure allows a straightforward preparation of both the enantiopure beta-amino esters and derivatives with known biological activity, using readily available starting materials and inexpensive reagents and conditions.
