Ester groups as effective ligands in chelate-controlled additions of cuprates and Grignard reagents to chiral .beta.-formyl esters to form .gamma.-lactones.
摘要:
Addition of cuprates to chiral methyl beta-formyl carboxylates 1a-1d provided gamma-lactones 2-7 in excellent trans-selectivity. The high diastereofacial selectivity was only obtained employing diethyl ether as solvent while tetrahydrofuran gave inferior results. Similar solvent effects were observed in the additions of various Grignard reagents to 1a, which afforded gamma-lactones 2,3,12, and 13 in moderate trans-selectivity. The best solvent for these reactions was dichloromethane. The 1,3-induction of cuprate additions was studied by using aldehydes 8a-8c. The results obtained were interpreted in terms of chelate-controlled additions with formation of seven-membered ring chelates which involve both carbonyl functions of aldehyde 1 or 8. The function of ester groups as effective ligands of lithium or MgX cations may also be of importance for other stereoselective reactions employing organometallic reagents.

hindered lithium amides with terminal epoxides is described whereby aldehydeenamines are produced via a previously unrecognized reaction pathway. Some of these aldehydeenamines display unprecedented C-alkylation reactivity toward unactivated primary and secondary alkyl halides. For comparison, the reactivity of aldehydeenamines synthesized via a traditional condensation method was examined. C- rather

The highly stereoselective Michael addition was achieved by treating an aminal, prepared from (S)-2-(anilinomethyl)pyrrolidine and fumaraldehydic acid methyl ester, with the Grignardreagents. 3-Alkylsuccinaldehydic acid methyl esters were obtained with high enantiomeric excesses by the hydrolysis of the resulting aminals.
