Diastereoselective alkylations of oxazolidinone vinylogous glycolates
摘要:
A highly Z-selective isomerization (double bond migration) was observed when oxazolidinone vinylogous glycolate was exposed to a strong base to give N-acyl oxazolidinone, bearing an electron rich olefin. The corresponding enolate was exposed to alkyl halides to provide alkylated compounds on the gamma-position with respect to OBn group, with high regioselectivity and moderate diastereoselectivity. However, the nature of the chiral oxazolidinone leads to a significant increase in the reaction diastereoselectivity. A stereospecific formation of cis-olefin was also observed in these alkylated compounds. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
