The conjugate addition of silylketeneacetals to 2-carbalkoxycyclopentenones 1 promoted by TADDOL . TiCl2 complexes was studied. The reactions are highly syn selective. The enantioselectivity depends on the size of the substrate ester group, with the methyl ester 1b being more enantioselective than the ethyl ester 1a. E.c. up to 47% are achieved. The absolute configuration of the major product was established by chemical correlation to the known (+)-isodchydroiridodiol. The reaction of representative doubly activated alkenes was studied: good results were obtained with cyclopentenones and gamma-butenolides. (C) 1997 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
Catalytic enantioselective [2+2]-cycloaddition reaction of 2-methoxycarbonyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one by chiral copper catalyst
A new catalytic system for enantioselective [2+2]-cycloaddition reaction of 2-methoxycarbonyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one with thioacetylene derivatives is described. The use of a catalytic amount (20-30 mol%) of copper(II) salt with chiral bis-pyridine ligand was found to be effective in promoting the [2 + 2]-cycloaddition reaction, furnishing the corresponding bicyclic compound in good yield and good enantioselectivity.
