Substrate-Directed Diastereoselective Hydroformylation: Key Step for the Assembly of Polypropionate Subunits
摘要:
Stereoselective hydroformylation of methallylic alcohols of types 3 and 4, that employed the substrate-bound catalyst-directing ortho-diphenyl-phosphanylbenzoyl (o-DPPB) group, was used as a key step for the construction of bifunctionalized stereotriads, which ale central building blocks of polyketide natural products. The required diastereomerically pure syn- and anti- starting methallylic alcohol systems 3 and 4 were obtained either by Cram-selective carbonyl reduction, Frater alkylation, or by chelation-controlled carbonyl reduction. Enantiomerically pure stereotriad building blocks were derived from a combination of an Evans aldol addition and subsequent o-DPPB-directed stereoselective hydroformylation (-->24). A crystal structure analysis for steretriad building block 24 confirmed the relative and absolute configuration of the stereogenic centers. Additionally, it provided evidence for a previously postulated preferred conformation of the catalyst-directing o-DPPB group as well as of the polyketide main chain.

A iron‐catalyzed free radical cascade reaction of allyl alcohols with N‐substituted maleimides for accessing poly‐substituted γ‐butyrolactones has been developed. In this protocol, various allyl alcohols can open N‐substituted maleimide rings to form allyl ester intermediates, and the allyl ester intermediates can be converted into an allyl ester alkyl radicals and undergo intramolecular free radical
[GRAPHICS]The ene reaction of singlet oxygen with chiral trisubstituted alkenes bearing an alkyl and a phenyl group at the stereogenic center is erythro diastereoselective in solution and threo diastereoselective if carried out within zeolite Na-Y. The change of the diastereoselection trend by zeolite confinement is attributed to a synergism of steric effects and cation-pi interactions.
