An efficient one-pot four-step domino reaction for the synthesis of C2-substituted 3-methylcyclohex-2-enones
摘要:
An efficient one-pot four-step domino reaction of substituted beta-ketoesters has been optimized giving rise to a large panel of C2-substituted 3-methylcyclohex-2-enones, an important scaffold for the preparation of various initiators for cationic or radical cyclizations. The developed methodology is quite general and applicable to a wide range of beta-ketoester substrates, allowing the introduction of various functionalities at the C2 position of the 3-methylcyclohex-2-enones, in good to excellent yields.

A series of C-2 substituted 3-methylcyclohex-2-enones has been prepared using the Hagemann ester route. A new synthesis of these compounds has been developed which involves the alkylation of the N,N-diethylaminoethyl ether of 1-hydroxy-5-methylcyclohexa-1,5-diene. The cyclohexenones have been converted into the corresponding α,β-epoxyketones using alkaline hydrogen peroxide.

Cationic cyclization of keto-epoxides mediated by zirconium(IV) tetrachloride: diastereoselective synthesis of cis-decalinols
10-Methyl-cis-9-decalinols are important motifs in several natural products and key intermediates in total synthesis. Herein, we wish to describe a highly chemo- and diastereoselective cyclization of ketoepoxides leading to 10-methyl-cis-9-decalinols. This method based on the use of zirconium(IV) tetrachloride permits the access to a wide variety of cis-decalinols in good to excellent yields. The cationic cyclization could also be performed with chiral keto-epoxide with complete control of the diastereoselectivity affording cis-bicyclic tertiary alcohol with good enantiomeric excess. The chemo- and the diastereoselectivity are assumed to result from the ability of Zr(IV) to generate highly stable bidentic complexes with alpha-hydroxy-ketone intermediates. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
