Synthesis of cyclopropane-fused α-chlorolactones utilizing the nucleophilicity of cyclopropylmagnesium carbenoids
摘要:
A novel method for the synthesis of cyclopropane-fused alpha-chloro-gamma-lactones was developed utilizing the nucleophilicity of cyclopropylmagnesium carbenoids. Cyclopropylmagnesium carbenoids were generated from i-PrMgCl and 1-chlorocyclopropyl p-tolyl sulfoxides with a [(phenoxycarbonyl)oxy]methyl group at the 2-position of the cyclopropane ring. The resulting cyclopropylmagnesium carbenoids reacted with an intramolecular carbonate unit to give 1-chloro-3-oxabicyclo[3.1.0]hexan-2-ones in moderate to good yields. The asymmetric synthesis of 1-chloro-3-oxabicyclo[3.1.0]hexan-2-one was achieved using optically active dichloromethyl p-tolyl sulfoxide as a starting material. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
