A tellurium transposition route to allylic alcohols: overcoming some limitations of the Sharpless-Katsuki asymmetric epoxidation
摘要:
Good yields of enantiomeric allylic alcohols can be obtained in high enantiomeric excess (ee) by combining the Sharpless-Katsuki asymmetric epoxidation process (SAE) with tellurium chemistry. The advantages of the tellurium process are as follows: (1) the 50% yield limitation on the allylic alcohol in the Sharpless kinetic resolution (SKR) can be overcome; (2) allylic tertiary alcohols which are unsatisfactory substrates in the SKR can be obtained in high optical purity; (3) optically active secondary allylic alcohols with tertiary alkyl substituents (e.g. tert-butyl) at C-1 can be obtained in high ee; (4) optically active sterically congested cis secondary alcohols can be obtained in high ee; and (5) the nuisance of the slow SAE of some vinyl carbinols can be avoided. The key step in the reaction sequence is either a stereospecific 1,3-trans position of double bond and alcohol functionalities or an inversion of the alcohol configuration with concomitant deoxygenation of the epoxide function in epoxy alcohols. Trans secondary allylic alcohols can be converted to cis secondary allylic alcohols by way of erythro epoxy alcohols (glycidols); threo glycidyl derivatives are converted to trans secondary allylic alcohols. These transformations are accomplished by the action of telluride ion, generated in situ from the element, on a glycidyl sulfonate ester. Reduction of elemental Te is conveniently done with rongalite (HOCH2SO2Na) in an aqueous medium. This method is satisfactory when Te2- is required to attack a primary carbon site of a glycidyl sulfonate. In cases where Te2- is required to attack a secondary carbon site, reduction of the tellurium must be done with NaBH4 or LiEt3BH. Elemental tellurium is precipitated during the course of the reactions and can be recovered and reused.

The total synthesis of cytotoxic meroditerpenoid naphthoquinone derivative chabrolonaphthoquinone B (1) in an enantiospecific manner is divulged using a chiral pool approach. The key step of our synthetic route is a modifiedJuliaolefination between a sulfone-bearing aliphatic fragment and a Diels–Alder-derived aromatic aldehyde, leading to the stereoselective construction of the E-trisubstituted

The total synthesis of the title compounds in opticallyactiveform from geraniol as the starting material is described. The physical and spectral properties of the synthetic amide are identical with those of the natural compound acacialactam, this fact confirming that the structure proposed for the latter compound is not correct. The configuration of the single stereogenic carbon atom in the natural
efficient method for the synthesis of synthetically useful non-racemic allylic alcohols from 4-methylbenzenesulfonates of non-racemic 2,3-epoxy alcohols is described. Satisfactory yields are obtained by treatment of 4-methylbenzenesulfonates of non-racemic 2,3-epoxy alcohols with potassiumiodide followed by zinc powder and ammonium chloride in a one-pot manner. The method has been successfully applied to
