Novel Synthons from Mucochloric Acid: The First Use of α,β-Dichloro-γ-butenolides and γ-Butyrolactams for Direct Vinylogous Aldol Addition
摘要:
Novel 5-(1'-hydroxy)-gamma-butyrolactone and gamma-butyrolactam subunits were synthesized by direct vinylogous aldol addition of alpha,beta-dichloro gamma-butyrolactones and gamma-butyrolactams with aldehydes under basic conditions. Different bases and solvents were screened in the context of generating gamma-butyrolactones. Diastereoselectivity was observed and gamma-butenolides and gamma-butyrolactams showed opposite diastereoselectivity under the same reaction condition.
A general method for the vicinal dioxygenation of olefins was developed using cationic Pd diphosphine complexes as the catalysts and Phl(OAC)(2) as the terminal oxidant. In comparison to known Pd-catalyzed vicinal oxidations, this method is suitable for a broad range of olefins in both inter- and intramolecular reactions. An (18)O-labeling experiment provides insight into the mechanism of this transformation which presumably involves Pd(II)/Pd(IV) intermediates.
