Enantiocontrolled synthesis of burseran, brassilignan, dehydroxycubebin, and other tetrahydrofuran lignans in both enantiomeric forms. Application of intermolecular nitrile oxide cycloadditions and lipase-mediated kinetic resolutions
摘要:
Several natural and unnatural tetrahydrofuran lignans have been synthesized by a convergent approach. Our methodology utilizes a nitrile oxide cycloaddition to dihydrofuran 8 and an enzymatic resolution of alcohols 11 by lipase PS. The lipase-mediated kinetic resolution of alcohols 11 furnished both enantiomers of the lignan precursors 12 and 14 in high optical purity (>99% ee). This is followed by a S(N)2 displacement of tosylates 15 and 18 by alpha-lithiobenzyl phenyl sulfides. In this manner, both enantiomers of 3,4-dibenzyltetrahydrofuran (17a, 20a), 3,4-bis(3-methoxybenzyl)-tetrahydrofuran (17b, 20b), brassilignan (17c, 20c), dehydroxycubebin (17d, 20d), and burseran (17e, 20e) were synthesized in overall yields of 6-16%.

diagonal cyclization, and the resulting vinyl radical abstracts hydrogen from silicon to afford a silicon-centered radical. This radical closes in a 5-endo trigonal manner to generate radicals of type 4, which are reduced (4 --> 5) by stannane, except when the starting acetylene carries a terminal trimethylstannyl group. In this case, radicals 4 expel trimethylstannyl radical to afford vinyl silanes
