Stereoselective Hydrogen Transfer Reactions Involving Acyclic Radicals. Tandem Substituted Tetrahydrofuran Formation and Stereoselective Reduction: Synthesis of the C17-C22 Subunit of Ionomycin
摘要:
The tandem iodoetherification reaction and stereoselective reduction of acyclic radicals has been used in the stereocontrolled synthesis of substituted tetrahydrofurans. Such a tetrahydrofuran intermediate is regioselectively cleaved using Me(2)BBr to reveal the acyclic array 2 which represents the C-17-C-22 subunit of ionomycin. In experiments that provide for a better understanding of hydrogen transfer reactions involving acyclic radicals, a significant improvement in the stereoselectivity is observed when the two substituents at the stereogenic center alpha to the radical are imbedded in a cycle (''cycle effect''). A mechanistic rationale is discussed.
ESR measurements and AM1 calculations show that ester substituted radicals 2 and 6 prefer conformation A as a result of allylicstrain effects. But dipolar repulsion between substituents X and CO2Et In 2 and 6 has a pronounced effect on the conformation and the stereoselectivity of radicals 2 and 6.
ESR测量和AM1计算表明,由于烯丙基应变效应,酯取代的基团2和6更偏爱构象A。但是,取代基X和CO 2 Et In 2和6之间的偶极排斥力对自由基2和6的构象和立体选择性具有显着影响。
