Synthesis of Optically Active 4-Substituted 2-Cyclohexenones
摘要:
Recently, Nicolaou and Baran independently synthesized optically active 4-substituted 2-cyclohexenones via an efficient LION-mediated intramolecular aldol condensation. Thus far, application of their cyclization approach has been limited to ketoaldehydes where the R-group is branched. It is demonstrated that the LiOH-mediated cyclization, when applied to substrates containing unbranched R-groups, results in significant erosion of optical purity. A mechanistic justification is provided, and a set of neutral, organocatalyzed conditions is identified that enables cyclization with little loss in optical purity.

enantioselectivities, using aldehydes and, e.g., methyl vinyl ketone as starting compounds. Taking into account that the chiral amine can activate the aldehyde and/or the enone, the mechanism for the reaction has been investigated. On the basis of intermediate synthesis, nonlinear effect, and theoretical investigations, the mechanism for the catalytic direct enantioselective Michael addition of aldehydes to vinyl ketones

The development of a general organocatalyst for the alpha-functionalization of aldehydes, via an enamine intermediate, is presented. Based on optically active alpha,alpha-diarylprolinol silyl ethers, the scope and applications of this catalyst for the stereogenic formation of C-C, C-N, C-F, C-Br, and C-S bonds are outlined. The reactions all proceed in good to high yields and with excellent enantioselectivities. Furthermore, we will present mechanistic insight into the reaction course applying nonlinear effect studies, kinetic resolution, and computational investigations leading to an understanding of the properties of the alpha,alpha-diarylprolinol silyl ether catalysts.

[GRAPHICS]In situ derivatization of a variety of alpha-substituted aldehydes via reaction with chiral amines allows convenient and efficient determination of enantiomeric excess. H-1 NMR analysis of the imine diastereomer ratio can be conducted immediately after the aldehyde and amine have been mixed. The results correlate well with ee values determined by more traditional (and slower) methods. This approach may be broadly applicable to alpha-substituted aldehydes.
