Solvent Effects in the Regio- and Diastereoselective Epoxidations of Acyclic Allylic Alcohols by Dimethyldioxirane: Hydrogen Bonding as Evidence for a Dipolar Transition State
摘要:
A mechanistically significant solvent effect is observed in the regioselectivity of the geraniol epoxidation by dimethyldioxirane. In hydrogen-bonding solvents (MeOH), the 6,7-epoxide is preferred over the 2,3-epoxide (74:26), which reveals that the more nucleophilic 6,7 double bond (the 2,3 double bond is inductively deactivated by the allylic hydroxy group) is preferentially attacked by the electrophilic dimethyldioxirane. In MeOH, both regioisomeric dipolar transition states are equally well stabilized by interaction through intermolecular hydrogen bonding with solvent molecules. In the nonpolar CCl4, intramolecular hydrogen bonding with the allylic hydroxy functionality favors attack at the 2,3 double bond and proportionally more 2,3-epoxide is formed. Similarly, also the pi-facial selectivity in the dimethyldioxirane epoxidation of methyl-substituted chiral acyclic allylic alcohols is controlled by intermolecular versus intramolecular hydrogen bonding. Thus, higher three selectivities are obtained in the nonpolar CCl4 by stabilization of the diastereomeric transition state with minimal allylic strain through intramolecular hydrogen bonding with the allylic hydroxy group. The geometry of the dipolar transition state for the dimethyldioxirane epoxidations is similar to that of m-CPBA, but with apparently a slightly larger (ca. 130 degrees) dihedral angle alpha to relieve 1,2-allylic strain.

The photooxygenation of chiral allylic alcohols 1a, (Z)-1f-k, ethers 1b-d, and acetate 1e gave the corresponding hydroperoxy homoallylic alcohols and derivatives 2 through the enereaction with singletoxygen. While the reaction of the acetate 1e proceeded erythro-diastereoselectively as a result of the classical cis effect, for the allylic alcohols 1a and (Z)-1f-k, in which an alkyl group is located
