(−)-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.
(−)-Sparteine-Mediated Stereoselective Intramolecular Carbolithiation of 4-Substituted 5-Hexynyl Carbamates. Synthesis of Enantiopure 1,3-Difunctionalized Alkylidene Cyclopentanes
摘要:
The stereoselective carbolithiation of alkynes with external chiral induction has been achieved for the first time by fusing the concepts of the asymmetric deprotonation (A) with s-BuLi/(-)-sparteine (s-BuLi/1) and the intramolecular carbolithiation (B). Several 4-functionalized 5-hexynyl carbamates with different terminal substituents have been prepared and efficiently cyclized providing enantiopure highly substituted alkylidene cyclopentanes. The presence of a sterically demanding substituent in the propargylic position is the essential feature of these cyclizations in order to suppress the abstraction of the remaining propargylic proton. Furthermore, in dependence on the terminal substituent, the 6-phenyl-substituted precursors undergo an intramolecular carbolithiation whereas for the 6-trimethylsilyl-substituted alkynes a sub sequent migration of the O-carbamoyl group onto the vinylic carbanionic center follows.
