The acyl effect on intramolecular palladium-catalyzed trimethylenemethane cycloadditions
摘要:
Enhancing the generality of the intramolecular palladium-catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition involving trimethylenemethane complexes as reactive intermediates is possible by incorporation of acyl substituents on the TMM unit. Such substituted TMM-PdL2 species greatly expand the scope such that bicyclo[3.3.0]octyl, bicyclo[4.3.0]nonyl, and bicyclo[5.3.0]decyl ring systems all can be created. Furthermore, the acyl-TMM chemistry permits incorporation of a bridgehead methyl substituent-the first example of a TMM-PdL2 cycloaddition in synthetically useful yields initiated by attack of a tertiary carbon in the first step to give a quaternary center. The requisite substrates are readily available using nucleophilic acylations via lithiated thioacetals. A general lynchpin strategy derives from bis(methylthio)methane onto which can be attached both the donor and acceptor partners of the cycloaddition. 2-((Trimethylsilyl)methyl)propenal serves as a convenient conjunctive reagent to introduce the donor partner. Alternatively 2-acyldithianes serve as a lynchpin to build substrates leading to bicycles bearing bridgehead substituents. In this case, 2-bromo-3-(trimethylsilyl)propene serves as a convenient conjunctive reagent to create the donor partner. The beneficial effect of acyl substitution derives from a combination of inhibiting side reactions derived from protodesilylation processes and facilitating the initial step of this nonconcerted cycloaddition. In addition to improving the generality of the intramolecular process, the ketone group that results in the product is a powerful functionality for further structural elaboration.

Oxidation of the mixture of products obtained by treatment of (S)-2-methylbutanal 8 with the E-but-2-enyldi-isopinocampheylborane prepared from (+)-pinene gave a mixture of homoallylic alcohols from which the major isomer 9 was isolated by chromatography. Oxidation with vanadylacetoacetate and tert-butyl hydroperoxide gave the epoxides 12 and 13, ratio 80 : 20. Following procedures developed in a synthesis of the model spiroacetal 19, 1,3-dithiane was alkylated, firstly using the epoxide 12, and then, after protection of the product 21 so obtained as its acetonide 23, using the epoxide 25, to give the 2,2-dialkylated 1,3-dithiane 25. Deprotection was accompanied by cyclisation to give the spiroacetal 28. Spiroacetal 29 was similarly prepared and taken through to the C(11)-C(25) fragment 38 of the aglycone of avermectin A(2b) 3.
