Enantioselective All-Carbon (4+2) Annulation by N-Heterocyclic Carbene Catalysis
摘要:
The enantioselective vinylogous Michael/aldol cascade is an underdeveloped approach to cyclohexenes. Herein we describe a highly enantioselective (most >= 98:2 er) and diastereoselective (all >= 15:1 dr) N-heterocyclic carbene catalyzed cycloisomerization of acyclic dienyl esters to cyclohexyl beta-lactones. Derivatizations avail cyclohexenes bearing four contiguous stereogenic centers, while mechanistic studies support olefin isomerization prior to cyclization.

This paper describes the application of chiral oxazaborolidinium cations of type 2 to various enantioselective Diels-Alder reactions that have served as early key steps for the syntheses of complex natural products. In the original syntheses these Diels-Alder reactions produced racemic adducts and led to racemic target molecules unless a separation of enantiomers by classical resolution was employed. By use of chiral catalysts of type 2, chiral products were obtained directly from Diels-Alder reactions of achiral components in excellent yield and enantioselectivity and with the mechanistically predicted absolute configuration. As a result, a number of classical syntheses could be converted to enantioselective versions, including (1) cortisone/cortisol (Merck/Sarett), (2) dendrobine (Kende), (3) vitamin B-12 (Eschenmoser), (4) myrocin C (Chu-Moyer/Danishefsky), (5) coriolin and hirsutene (Mehta), (6) dendrobatid 251F (Aube), (7) silphinene (Ito), and (8) nicandrenone core (Stoltz/Corey).

Tandem-Directed Regioselective Hydroformylation/β-Elimination: A Practical Method for the Synthesis of Enals

A practical synthesis of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes by a tandem-directed hydroformylation/β -elimination process of allylic o-DPPB esters is reported. The o-DPPB group served as an effective controller for regioselectivity of the hydroformylation towards the desired aldolate isomer, and was subsequently eliminated in situ by mild standard bases. The reaction is rather general for the preparation of
