Efficient synthesis of (1S,5S)-4-alkyl-6,6-dimethylbicyclo[3.1.1]hept-3-en-2-ones from (1R,5S)-(+)-nopinone and preparation of some chiral building blocks suitable for the asymmetric synthesis
摘要:
A general and convenient transformation of (1R,5S)-(+)-nopinone (1) into (1S,5S)-4-alkyl-6,6-dimethylbicyclo[3.1.1]hept-3-en-2-ones, i.e., (-)-verbenone (6a) as the simplest compound and its C(4)-alkyl homologs 6b-f, via (+)-apoverbenone (7) is developed and applied, starting with 6a,e, to the syntheses of (4R,5R)-1-acetoxy-4-isopropenyl-5-methyl-5-vinyl-1-cyclohexene (12a) and (4R,5S)- and (4R,5R)-1-acetoxy-5-(3-butenyl)-4-isopropenyl-5-methyl-1-cyclohexene (12b and 12c), in connection with a search for chiral building blocks suitable for the asymmetric synthesis. Preparation of 12a indicates the formal synthesis of the elemanoid sesquiterpenes (-)-beta-elemenone and (-)-eleman-8beta,12-olide.

We report herein general conditions for a zinc-mediated anionic cyclization of unstabilized ketoneenolates. This anionic cyclization allows access to various carbocyclic architectures by utilizing abundant ketones and unactivated alkenes as precursors. The transformation is enabled by the use of Zn(TMP)2 as base and Zn(OTf)2 as an additive. The resulting alkylzinc species can be intercepted by electrophiles

A palladium-catalyzed carbonylative difunctionalization of unactivated alkenes initiated by enolate nucleophiles is described. Synthetically useful 1,5-diketone products were smoothly transformed into highly substituted pyridines. The method tolerates a range of electrophiles and proceeds under an atmospheric pressure of CO.

This report demonstrates the possibility of a nickel-catalyzed difunctionalization of unactivated alkenes initiated by an unstabilized enolate nucleophile. The process tolerates a diverse range of electrophiles, including aryl, heteroaryl, alkenyl, and amino electrophiles. An electron-deficient phosphine ligand and a tetrabutylammonium salt additive were crucial for promoting efficient vicinal difunctionalization.
