Intramolecular hydrogen abstraction promoted by N-radicals: synthesis of chiral 7-oxa-2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane and 8-oxa-6-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane ring systems
摘要:
Homochiral 7-oxa-2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane and 8-oxa-6-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane ring systems can be synthesized by reaction of specifically protected phosphoramidate derivatives of carbohydrates with (diacetoxyiodo)benzene or iodosylbenzene and iodine. The reaction mechanism goes through homolytic fragmentation of a hypothetical iodoamide intermediate. The N-radicals so generated participate in an intramolecular hydrogen abstraction reaction (IHA) to give the aforementioned bicycles. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. Ail rights reserved.
