Regio- and stereoselective cyclopropanation of functionalised dienes. Novel methodology for the synthesis of vinyl- and divinyl-cyclopropanes
摘要:
Dienes, bearing an electron-withdrawing substituent at C-1, are cyclopropanated regio- and stereo selectively at the C-C double bond proximal to this electron-withdrawing group. The highest selectivity is observed in the case of dienylboronates. The cyclopropanation of these substrates affords almost exclusively the synthetically useful 1-boronato-2-vinyl-cyclopropanes.

Substituted diazoalkanes react smoothly, in the presence of catalytic amounts of Pd(OAc)(2), with a range of vinyl- and dienylboronates, affording in good to excellent yields, the corresponding trisubstituted cyclopropanes. The reaction is remarkably regio-, chemo-, and diastereoselective. The synthetic utility of this novel protocol is illustrated by the efficient assembly of the middle fragment of ambruticin.
