Conformational Biasing in 1,3-Oxidative Rearrangements of Dienols
摘要:
1-Vinyl-2-cycloalkenols are oxidized to form conjugated dienones in useful yields. Although this oxidative rearrangement is general, severe steric interactions can favor the formation of a conjugated dienal instead of a conjugated dienone. Several heterocyclic analogues were also studied.
The Diene-Transmissive [4 + 2]-Cycloaddition Strategy: Stereoselective Synthesis of Advanced Intermediates to Quassinoids
摘要:
Complex intermediates to quassinoids', some optically active and containing many functional groups, were synthesized via a diene-transmissive Diels-Alder strategy. The stereochemistry of the key inter- and intramolecular cycloadditions was controlled by stereodefined groups on the preexisting C ring and on the tether.

A variety of bis-allylic esters were prepared by vinylmetal addition to cycloalkenones followed by esterification either in situ or in a separate operation. For chiral cyclohexenones, the vinyl additions generally occurred with > 10:1 diastereoselectivity. Although in some cases the bis-allylic esters proved to be sensitive to silica gel or other adsorbents, all of the esters examined could be isolated in acceptable purity. The Ireland-Claisen rearrangement of the bis-allylic esters occurred with complete regioselectivity via the exocyclic alkene. The alkene stereochemistry and the stereochemistry at C-2 and C-3 of the pentenoic acid products were consistent with a chairlike transition state in the rearrangement. Substituents at the carbons adjacent to the allylic carbinol carbon (i.e., C-2 or C-6 in cyclohexenone-derived substrates) directed the stereochemical course of the rearrangement. The rearrangements generally proceeded so as to place the larger of the C-2 or C-6 substituents in the pseudoequatorial position with respect to the chairlike transition state. For a bis-allylic ester bearing both a C-2-CH3 and a C-6-OMEM substituent, the rearrangement product resulted from the nominally smaller OMEM substituent occupying a pseudoequatorial position with respect to the chairlike transition state.

The tetracyclic quassinoid framework was stereoselectively constructed using a diene-transmissive Diels-Alder reaction between the cyclic formyl-diene 13 and ethyl vinyl ether.
