1,2-Asymmetric Induction in the Zwitterionic Claisen Rearrangement of Allylamines
摘要:
A zwitterionic Claisen rearrangement has been developed for optically active N-allylpyrrolidines using a two-phase system. The inherent-1,2 asymmetric induction was investigated for the generation of a new C-C bond adjacent to a chiral C-O function. The reaction with acetyl chloride led to a small diastereomeric excess, whereas the rearrangement with propionyl chloride proceeded with a high simple and a high induced diastereoselection. The resulting gamma,delta-unsaturated amides were cyclized to the corresponding optically active gamma-butyrolactones, which are useful intermediates in natural product synthesis.

A secoiridoid monoterpene (−)-elenolic acid and a representative heteroyohimbine alkaloid (−)-ajmalicine have been synthesized enantio- and stereoselectively using L-ethyl lactate as a chiral starting material.
