Further studies in the acyl-type radical additions promoted by SmI 2 : mechanistic implications and stereoselective reduction of the keto-functionality
摘要:
Attempts were made to promote the carbonyl coupling of cyclohexanone to 4-pyridylthioesters of N-carbamate-protected amino acids with the one electron reducing agent, samarium diiodide. Such reactions proved unsuccessful due to the inability of the ketyl-type radical anion intermediate to be reduced to the corresponding dianion at -78degreesC. Nevertheless, these results explain our recently published work on the high efficiency of the SmI2-mediated acyl-type radical additions of the same thioesters with electron deficient alkenes [J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2003, 125, 4030]. A study was also undertaken to examine methods for the stereoselective reduction of N-carbamate-protected amino ketones to either the syn- or anti-vicinal amino alcohols. In most cases, LiAl(0-t-Bu)(3)H and (S)-Alpine-Hydride were found to effectively provide the anti- and syn-amino alcohols, respectively. The SmI2-promoted reduction of the same ketones afforded a majority of the syn-isomer with selectivities of approximately 5:1. However, in one case, the SmI2-promoted reduction was found to be more effective than that of (S)-Alpine-Hydride. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
SmI2 Reduced Thioesters as Synthons of Unstable Acyl Radicals: Direct Synthesis of Potential Protease Inhibitors via Intermolecular Radical Addition
摘要:
Aromatic alpha-heterosubstituted thioesters were found to undergo radical 1,4-addition reactions to a series of alpha,beta-unsaturated amides and one ester when subjected to the single electron reducing agent, samarium diiodide, at -78 degrees C. These thioesters derived from alpha-amino acids represent a synthetically useful synthon of unstable acyl radicals. This reaction conveniently provides access to gamma-ketoamides and esters in yields up to 90%, structures that are common in various protease inhibitors derived from peptides. Examples with acryloyl and methacryloyl derivatives of alpha-amino acids and dipeptides lead directly to tri- and tetrapeptide mimetics possessing the gamma-ketoamide functionality. No epimerization was observed with the mild conditions used for these reactions.

The application of acyl radicals in radical addition reactions in the absence of a CO atmosphere is generally limited to aryl or alpha-unsubstituted alkyl acyl radicals due to competing decarbonylations where the rate constant for this degradation process surpasses 104 s-1. In this work, a potential solution to avoid the problem of decarbonylations is presented employing N-acyl oxazolidinones which
