Asymmetric Catalysis of Diels-Alder Cycloadditions by an MS-Free Binaphthol-Titanium Complex: Dramatic Effect of MS, Linear vs Positive Nonlinear Relationship, and Synthetic Applications
摘要:
Asymmetric Diels-Alder (D.-A.) reaction of 5-hydroxynaphthoquinone (juglone) with butadienyl acetate catalyzed by the binaphthol-derived chiral titanium (BINOL-Ti) complex 1 proceeds in only 9% ee in the presence of molecular sieves (MS). Remarkably, however, this reaction proceeds in 76-96% ee with BINOL-Ti complex 1 freed from MS to provide the endo-adducts useful for the synthesis of anthracyclines and tetracyclines. The solid MS-free BINOL-Ti complex 1 is stable for months at -20 degrees C, Enhancements in endo selectivity and asymmetric induction are observed with the MS-free BINOL-Ti 1 also in the catalyzed D.-A. cycloaddition of methacrolein and glyoxylate with 1,3-dienol ethers and esters. The glyoxylate adducts can be converted to the mevinolin (compactin) intermediates. Surprisingly, the MS-free complex 1 exhibits not only a linear relationship between the ee's of BINOL-Ti 1 and the D.-A. products but also a positive nonlinear effect (asymmetric amplification), depending simply on the mixing manner of (R)-1 with (S)-1 or (+/-)-1.

Asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction with methyl glyoxylate catalyzed by the chiral titanium complex 1 provides the dihydropyran carboxylate in high enantiomeric purity, which can be converted to the lactone portion of mevinolin or compactin.
