Asymmetric Bromolactonization Using Amino-thiocarbamate Catalyst
摘要:
A novel amino-thiocarbamate-catalyzed bromolactonization of unsaturated carboxylic acids has been developed. The scope of the reaction is evidenced by 22 examples of gamma-lactones with up to 99% yield and 93% ee. The protocol was applied in the enantioselective synthesis of the key intermediates of VLA-4 antagonists.

The apple never falls far from the tree: S‐alkylthiocarbamate 1 (see scheme, NBP=N‐bromophthalimide) was prepared in high yield through a synthetic sequence involving a Newman–Kwart rearrangement of the corresponding O‐alkylthiocarbamates. Compound 1 was used to catalyze bromolactonization, thus providing enantioenriched δ‐lactones in excellent yield and enantioselectivity.
BINOL-derived chiral sulfide catalysts unexpectedly gave iodolactonization products in nearly racemic forms. The roles of chalcogenide moieties and hydroxy groups on bifunctional catalysts were investigated, and the importance of both a selenide moiety and a hydroxy group on chiral bifunctional selenide catalysts to achieve enantioselective iodolactonizations was clarified. An optimized chiral bifunctional

We have developed a novel indole-catalyzed bromolactonization of olefinic acids. The reaction could be conducted in lipophilic solvent through a solid liquid phase transfer mechanism. This catalytic protocol has been applied to the synthesis of base-sensitive bromolactones.
