The cleavage of meso-epoxides with homochiral thiols: synthesis of (+)- and (−)-trans-1-mercaptocyclohexan-2-ol
摘要:
The synthesis of (+)- and (-)-trans-1-mercaptocyclohexan-2-ol is described. Ring opening of cyclohexene oxide with (-)-4-methoxybenzylnopan-3(R)-thiol 1a followed by oxidation gives two readily separable diastereomeric sulfoxides. These sulfoxides display very different thermal stability but both undergo regio-specific syn-elimination to give cyclohexan-1-ol-2-sulfenic acid that can be reacted in situ with 3,5-dimethylthiophenol to give a mixed disulfide. Reduction of these disulfides with lithium aluminium hydride gives the title compounds in enantiomerically pure form. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Novel chiral sulfides, derived from pinene, have been prepared, converted to sulfonium salts and treated with base and aldehydes to generate non-racemic epoxides. Low to moderate enantioselectivities were obtained in the product epoxides and this possibly occurred as a result of using diastereomeric mixtures of sulfonium salts. Dibenzyl substituted sulfonium salts were also prepared to avoid formation of diastereomers but upon treatment with base and an aldehyde this gave the Stevens rearrangement product instead of epoxide.
