A new synthetic method of 1,3-diene by three-carbon elongation of aldehyde is described. 3-Trimethylsilyl-1-propenylzirconocene chloride (2), generated from 3-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne (1) and Cp2Zr(H)Cl, reacts with aldehyde in the presence of catalytic AgClO4 and subsequent one-pot 1,4-elimination affords 1,3-dienes in high yields with excellent (E)-selectivities.
Synthesis of optically active cis- and trans-1,2-disubstituted cyclopropane derivatives by the Simmons-Smith reaction of allyl alcohol derivatives derived from (R)-2,3-O-isopropylideneglyceraldehyde
The Simmons-Smith reactions of Z- and E-allyl alcohol derivatives 6 derived from (R)-2,3-O-isopropylideneglyceraldehyde (5) were used for the synthesis of optically active cis- and trans-1,2 disubstituted cyclopropane derivatives. Reaction of 6 with diethyl zinc and diiodomethane gave cyclopropane derivatives 7 in 84% to quantitative yields with 35 to approximate to 100% des. Identical facial selectivities toward the double bonds, Ire-asi for Z-6 and 1re-2re for E-6, were observed in the cyclopropanations. The diastereoselectivity was dependent on the protecting group on the terminal allylic oxygen (R of 6, TBDPS > MOM > Bn) and on the stereochemistry of the double bond (Z > E). For TBDPS ethers Z- and E-6c, cis- and trans-7c were obtained as single diastereomers respectively. It was clearly demonstrated that the stereoselectivity of the cyclopropanation is controlled by the directing effect of the allylic oxygen (O-1) of the dioxolane ring which coordinates to the reagent. The terminal allylic oxygen (O-2) lowered the diastereoselectivity This reaction was applied to the synthesis of optically active cyclopropane analogs of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) 18, 22, and ent-22.
The unusual 1,4-chelation-controlled nucleophilic addition to aldehydes with high stereoselectivity. A systematic study of stereoselectivity in the addition reaction of carbon nucleophiles to cis-substituted cyclopropanecarbaldehydes
The addition reaction of carbon nucleophiles to cis-substituted cyclopropanecarbaldehydes was systematically investigated. Ab initio calculations of model cyclopropanecarbaldehydes suggested that the bisected s-cis and s-trans conformers are the only two minimum energy conformers, which are stabilized due to the pi-donating stereoelectronic effect of the cyclopropane ring. The experimental results of a series of substrates, that is, cyclopropanecarbaldehydes 1-5 bearing a cis-(tert-butyldiphenyisilyloxy)methyl group, a cis-benzyloxymethyl group, a cis-(p-methoxybenzyloxy)methyl group, cis-N,N-diethylcarbamoyl and trans-phenyl groups, and cis-(tert-butyldiphenylsilyloxy)methyl and trans-phenyl groups, respectively, showed that highly anti-selective Grignard additions could be realized. It turned out that it occurred via an unusual 7-membered 1,4-chelation-controlled pathway. Highly stereoselective Grignard addition via the chelation-controlled pathway occurred even in the reaction of the usually non-chelating silyl ether-type substrate 5. The results have great importance because the 1,4-chelation-controlled stereoselective addition reactions can indeed be realized. Under non-chelation conditions, the syn-products were produced with moderate stereoselectivity, which are likely to be formed via the bisected s-cis conformation-like transition state stabilized by the characteristic orbital interaction. These reactions, especially the chelation-controlled reaction, should be useful because of their t stereoselectivity and stereochemical predictability. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The design, chemical synthesis, and biologicalevaluation of a series of cyclopropyl and cyclobutyl epothiloneanalogues (3-12, Figure 1) are described. The synthetic strategies toward these epothilones involved a Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi coupling to form the C15-C16 carbon-carbon bond, an aldol reaction to construct the C6-C7 carbon-carbon bond, and a Yamaguchi macrolactonization to complete the required
