Xanthate Transfer Cyclization of Glycolic Acid-Derived Radicals. Synthesis of Five- to Eight-Membered Ring Ethers
摘要:
A novel method for the preparation of functionalized five- to eight-membered ring ethers is described. This method involves the xanthate transfer radical cyclization of 2-(alken-1-oxy)-2-[(ethoxythio-carbonyl)sulfanyl]acetic acid methyl esters 6 to give good yields of xanthate-substituted five- to eight-membered ethers 7 and/or 8, depending on the length of the carbon chain. These cyclic ethers are usually obtained as mixtures of diastereomers. The cyclizations are performed at 150-160 degrees C in tert-butylbenzene with di-tert-butyl peroxide as the initiator. This group-transfer radical cyclization was successfully applied in a total synthesis of lauthisan (44). The use of benzoyl xanthate (56) as a catalyst allows a visible light-induced xanthate transfer cyclization to a tetrahydrofuran in high yield.
Transition Metal-Catalyzed, Chlorine-Transfer Radical Cyclizations of 2-(3-Alken-1-oxy)-2-Chloroacetates. Formal Total Synthesis of Avenaciolide and Isoavenaciolide
摘要:
A novel method for the synthesis of functionalized tetrahydrofurans is described. This method involves the treatment of 2-(3-alken-1-oxy)-2-chloroacetates 1 with a catalytic amount of Cu(bpy)Cl in refluxing 1,2-dichloroethane to give good yields of 3-(1-chloroalkyl)-2-tetrahydrofuran carboxylic esters 2. The stereochemical course of the radical cyclizations shows a-preference for the formation of 2,3-cis-substituted tetrahydrofurans in all cases. This selectivity is exploited in the formation of bicyclic lactones which form spontaneously upon ester hydrolysis. As an application of this methodology a formal total synthesis of avenaciolide (28) and isoavenaciolide (29) is described.
