(−)-Sparteine-Mediated Asymmetric Intramolecular Carbolithiation of Alkenes: Synthesis of Enantiopure Cyclopentanes with Three Consecutive Stereogenic Centers
摘要:
An asymmetric intramolecular carbolithiation reaction was developed by combining the (-)-sparteine-mediated enantiotopos-differentiating deprotonation and the anionic 5-exo-trig cyclization. Achiral 6-phenyl-hex-5-enyl carbamates were efficiently cyclized furnishing regio-, diastereo- (dr > 99:1),and enantioselectively (er >98:2) 1,2-trans-substituted cyclopentanes. The intermediate primary benzylic Lithium-carbanion pairs were - in spite of their configurative lability - diastereoselectively substituted by versatile electrophiles creating a third consecutive stereogenic center. Additionally, some 4-functionalized 6-phenylhex-5-enyl carbamates were also cyclized in high yield to provide enantiomericaliy pure cyclopentanes incorporating three adjacent stereogenic centers.
