Toward Asymmetric Aldol-Tishchenko Reactions with Enolizable Aldehydes: Access to Defined Configured Stereotriads, Tetrads, and Stereopentads
摘要:
Asymmetric aldol-Tishchenko, reactions of enolizable aldehydes and ketones in the presence of chiral BINOLTi(OtBU)(2)/Cinchona alkaloids complexes are described. Different configurative outcomes of these reactions depend on an equilibration through a retro aldol/aldol sequence and can be influenced by the configurative architecture of substrates. The results are explained by means of transition state models and rate constants. These considerations offer a fine-tuning of diastereoselectivity in aldol-Tishchenko reactions. Extensions of this research give access to defined configured stereotriads, stereotetrads, and stereopentads.

Conversion of two diastereoisomeric 1,3-diols (3-cyclohexyl-1-phenylpropane-1,3-diol) into orthoesters was followed by treatment with acetyl bromide. The 1,3-bromo acetates (acetic acid 3-bromo-1-cyclohexyl-3-phenylpropyl esters) were obtained with complete inversion of configuration at a benzylic site. Methanolysis of the bromo acetates, followed by ring-closure, resulted in a second inversion of configuration at a benzylic site to give the corresponding oxetanes with overall retention of configuration.
