Enantioselective Synthesis of Planar-Chiral 1,n-Dioxa[n]paracyclophanes via Catalytic Asymmetric ortho-Lithiation
摘要:
Highly enantioselective ortho-lithiation and dilithiation of 1,n-dioxa[n]paracyclophanes were realized with the use of see-butyllithium and a catalytic or stoichiometric amount of sparteine. Quenching with various electrophiles, such as iodine, iodomethane, and chlorodiphenylphosphine, afforded chiral mono- and disubstituted paracyclophanes with good to excellent ee.

The asymmetric induction of planar chirality in 1,n-dioxa[n]paracyclophane derivatives via asymmetric ortho-lithiation is described. Enantioselective ortho-lithiation of unflippable 1,n-dioxa[n]paracyclophanes (n <= 11) using sec-BuLi-(-)-sparteine at -78 degrees C and subsequent treatment with electrophiles gave the corresponding planar-chiral monosubstituted paracyclophanes with excellent ee. Further lithiation of these compounds and treatment with electrophiles gave planar-chiral paracyclophanes with two different substituents. Dilithiation of unflippable 1,n-dioxa[n]paracyclophanes gave the corresponding C(2)symmetrical disubstituted products with almost perfect ee. In the case of flippable 1,n-dioxa[n]paracyclophanes (n >= 12), a stepwise reaction was required for the highly enantioselective formation of disubstituted products. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
