Stereoselective synthesis of tetralins using cationic cyclisations
摘要:
Tetralins, including the terpene calamenene, were prepared by 6-endo cationic cyclisations, effected by addition of an l(l) reagent to alkenylarenes, followed by reductive deiodination. An activating group on the arene was required for efficient cationic cyclisation. Good diastereoselectivity, relative to a chiral centre in the chain linking the alkene to the arene, was observed, with Z-alkenes giving predominantly 1,4-cis disubstituted tetralins, and E-alkenes giving predominantly 1,4-trans derivatives. Analogous 6-exo cationic cyclisations proved very limited in scope. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Simple protocol for enhanced (E)-selectivity in Julia–Kocienski reaction
摘要:
A short and efficient Julia-Kocienski olefination protocol, based upon the use of chelating agents (18-crown-6 or TDA-1 for K(+); 12-crown-4 or HMPA for Li(+)), was developed. This protocol enhances the (E)selectivity of the reaction and the desired olefins are obtained generally with >10:1 (E/Z)-selectivity. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Aryl- and alkenyl substituted oxiranes, when submitted to treatment with superbasic reagents, undergo a highly regio- and stereoselective rearrangement leading to cyclopropylmethanol derivatives. The process can also be applied to mono- and dihydroxy substituted substrates thus leading to polyhydroxylated cyclopropanes.
Palladium-catalyzed remote arylative substitution was achieved for the reaction of arylboronic acids with alkenes possessing a distant acetoxy group via nondissociative chain walking and β-acetoxy elimination.
Mild and simple catalytic systems consisting of molybdenum(VI) dichloride dioxide [MoO2Cl2] as a catalyst and a phosphine as reductant have been developed for the stereospecificdeoxygenation of epoxides to alkenes. The reactions using 1,2‐bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe) and triphenylphosphine (PPh3) proceed with retention and inversion of stereochemistry, respectively. The mild reaction tolerates
