Selective Lithiation of 2-Methyloxazoles. Applications to Pivotal Bond Constructions in the Phorboxazole Nucleus
摘要:
The lithiation of 2-methyloxazoles with alkyllithium and hindered lithium amide bases generally results in the competitive formation of a mixture of 5-lithio- and 2-(lithiomethyl)oxazole isomers. Herein a synthetically useful lithiation method which allows for the selective formation of 2-(lithiomethyl)oxazole is described. Diethylamine has been found to be a kinetically competent proton source that will mediate the equilibration of the kinetically formed 5-lithiooxazole to its more stable 2-(lithiomethyl)oxazole counterpart. Application of this metalation strategy with lithium diethylamide to two important bond constructions relevant to a projected phorboxazole synthesis is presented.

The synthesis of phorboxazole B has been accomplished in 27 linear steps and an overall yield of 12.6%. The absolute stereochemistry of the C4−C12, C33−C38, and C13−C19 fragments was established utilizing catalytic asymmetric aldol methodology, while the absolute stereochemistry of the C20−C32 fragment was derived from an auxiliary-based asymmetric aldol reaction. All remaining chirality was incorporated
