Enantioselective Synthesis of Spiro Ethers and Spiro Ketals via Photoaddition of Dihydro-4-pyrones to Chiral 1,3-Dioxin-4-ones
摘要:
A versatile and highly stereoselective synthesis of spiro ethers and spiro ketals is presented. The key step in the developed synthetic sequence is based on diastereoselective intramolecular photoaddition of dihydro-4-pyrones to chiral 1,3-dioxin-4-ones. Subsequent fragmentation of the produced four-membered ring provides spiro ether structures. The spiro ethers can be transformed to their corresponding spiro ketals, with retention of configuration at the spiro center, via Baeyer-Villager oxidation. The configuration of the spiro center is defined by the facial selectivity at the photocycloaddition step. Two examples of complete stereofacial selectivity were achieved. The unique and important application of the developed sequence was demonstrated in enantioselective synthesis of a less thermodynamically stable spiro ketal 43.
A convenient route to 2,6-dialkyl-2,3-dihydro-4H-pyran-4-ones via oxidative cleavage of protected 1-(2-oxoalkyl)-cyclopropanols. Synthesis of (±)-hepialone and its natural congener
摘要:
An efficient strategy for the synthesis of 2,6-dialkyl-2,3-dihydro-4H-pyran-4-ones has been developed, the key steps of which are oxidative cleavage of the three-membered rings of 1-(2-oxoalkyl)-cyclopropanols and acid-promoted cyclization of the resulting beta-hydroxyketones.

An efficient palladium catalyst is presented for the formation of benzylic quaternarystereocenters by conjugate addition of arylboronic acids to a variety of β,β‐disubstituted carbocyclic, heterocyclic, and acyclic enones. The catalyst is readily prepared from PdCl2, PhBOX, and AgSbF6, and provides products in up to 99 % enantiomeric excess, with good yields. Based on this strategy, (−)‐α‐cuparenone

In one aspect, the present invention provides a hyperpolarizable organic chromophore. The chromophore is a nonlinear optically active compound that includes a π-donor conjugated to a π-acceptor through a π-electron conjugated bridge. In other aspects of the invention, donor structures and acceptor structures are provided. In another aspect of the invention, a chromophore-containing polymer is provided. In one embodiment, the chromophore is physically incorporated into the polymer to provide a composite. In another embodiment, the chromophore is covalently bonded to the polymer, either as a side chain polymer or through crosslinking into the polymer. In other aspects, the present invention also provides a method for making the chromophore, a method for making the chromophore-containing polymer, and methods for using the chromophore and chromophore-containing polymer.
