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.

A variety of alpha-acetoxyethers can be prepared by addition of an alcohol to a glyoxylate and ill situ acetylation using acetyl chloride. They can then be resolved using Pseudomonas fluorescens lipase. Selectivity is highly dependent on the substrate, with high enantiomeric excesses achieved in most cases, with some notable exceptions. Use of alternative lipase enzymes helps overcome such limitations. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
