Enynones in Organic Synthesis. 7. Substituent Effects on the .alpha.-Tocopherol-Catalyzed Cyclization of Enynones to Methylenecyclopentenones. Convenient Syntheses of Members of the Methylenomycin Class of Antibiotics
摘要:
Substituent effects on the a-tocopherol (vitamin E, 3b) catalyzed cyclization of a wide variety of enynones 1a-z to methylenecyclopentenones 7a-z have been examined, with particular emphasis given to electron-withdrawing and -donating groups at positions 2-4 and 6. In general, electron-withdrawing groups at positions 4 and 6 dramatically accelerate the cyclization process, while strong electron-donating groups at positions 3 and 4 completely inhibit reaction. Relatively little effect is exerted by groups at C-2, except for the methyl ester derivative 1i, which is totally unreactive. This methodology was employed in the syntheses of the methylenecyclopentenone antibiotics methylenomycin B (7a) and desepoxy-4,5-didehydromethylenomycin A (7z) and in formal syntheses of methylenomycin A (8) and xanthocidin (9).
The Heckarylation of α,β-unsaturatedaldehydes is strongly dependent on the catalyst, the solvent and the base. Optimized conditions yielded either selectively cinnamyl derivatives (83%) or double arylation products (88% based on aryl conversion). A new α-arylation of β,β-disubstituted acrolein is also realized.

The present invention relates to processes for producing α,β-unsaturated aldehyde compounds and unsaturated alcohols with a good yield. There is provided a process for producing and α,β-unsaturated aldehyde compound including the step of subjecting a raw aldehyde compound to an intermolecular condensation reaction in the presence of an amine and a protonic acid having 4 to 20 carbon atoms or a salt thereof; and a process for producing an unsaturated alcohol including the step of subjecting the α,β-unsaturated aldehyde compound to a reduction reaction.
Various 1-phenylbut-3-enylidenes, (Ph)CCR2CH=CHR', were generated thermally and photolytically from tosylhydrazone (diazo) precursors. 1,2-Vinyl shifts, leading to 1,3-dienes, R'CH=CHC(Ph)=CR2, were found to predominate over gamma-C-H insertion (R = Me) and to compete with 1,2-H shifts (R = H). Intramolecular addition to the double bond was detected in the case of R = R' = Me. The resulting bicyclobutane is thermally stable and does not mediate the vinyl shift. Stereospecific migration of 1-propenyl groups (R' = Me), with retention of configuration, was observed on thermolysis and direct photolysis of appropriate substrates. These data exclude the intervention of a triplet diradical and point, to vinyl migration in the singlet manifold. Benzophenone-sensitized generation of the carbenes led to partial stereomutation but did not provide conclusive evidence for a triplet rearrangement (isomerization of the diene products could not be avoided under these conditions).

An efficient protocol was developed to construct functionally dense quaternary carbons with concomitant formation of a new Csp(3)-Csp(3) bond via Pd-catalyzed decarboxylative transformation of vinyl cyclic carbonates. This redox-neutral catalytic system features stereocontrolled formation of multisubstituted allylic scaffolds with an aldehyde functionality generated in situ, and it typically can be performed at room temperature without any additives. DFT calculations provide a rationale toward the selective formation of these compounds and reveal a complex mechanism that with the help of microkinetic models is able to reproduce the nontrivial dependence of the identity of the product on the nature of the substituents in the substrate.
