Radical-Mediated Construction of Cyclopentane with Concurrent Formation of a Well-Defined Quaternary Center
摘要:
Synthetic efforts toward the total synthesis of clavulactone dealing with enantioselective construction of the cyclopentane moiety are reported. With a novel radical-mediated cyclization as key step, the current approach allows for concurrent enantioselective construction of a quaternary chiral carbon at the cyclization step. The stereochemistries of the newly formed chiral centers are dictated by the configuration of the C-1 (cf. numbering in 1). The high selectivity observed in this work is ascribed to the conformational advantage of the cyclic acetal, which results in a much better defined transition state than the previously used open-chain counterpart does.
