Synthesis of a Chiral Helical Molecular Template Based on trans-5,6,6a,7,8,12b-Hexahydro-1,12-dimethylbenzo[c]phenanthrene- 5,8-dione
摘要:
Reduction of trans-5,5,6a,7,8,12b-hexahydro-1,12-dimethylbenzo[c]phenanthrene-5,8-dione (1, R(1)=R(4)=H, R(2)=R(3)=CH3) with lithium aluminum hydride yielded stereoselectively (5RS,8RS)-trans-5,6,6a,7,8,12b-hexahydro-1,12-dimethylbenzo[c]phenanthrene 2, X=H. These diols proved to be configurationally stable chiral molecular templates capable of straightforward modification by attachment of molecular elements of different length and kind. The structures of the diacetate 2, X=COCH3, and (5R,8R)-(-)-trans-5,6,6a,7,8,12b-hexahydro-1,12-dimethylbenzo- [c]phenanthrene-5,8-diyl di-p-bromobenzoate (2a, X=p-BrC6H4CO), as well as the absolute configuration of the latter were obtained by X-ray crystallography.
