Stereoselective Synthesis of Heterocyclic Zinc Reagents via a Nickel-Catalyzed Radical Cyclization
摘要:
Unsaturated iodo or bromo acetals of type 2 undergo a smooth cyclization mediated by diethylzinc (2 equiv) and Ni(acac)(2) as catalyst (2-5 mol %). These cyclizations proceed via a radical mechanism affording a (tetrahydrofuranylmethyl)zinc halide of type 1, which can be reacted with various electrophiles after a transmetalation with CuCN . 2LiCl. High stereoselectivities are usually observed in the ring closures, especially if monocyclic cyclization precursors are used. In these cases, bicyclic products of the endo-configuration are obtained with over 94% diastereoselectivity. The synthetic method has been extended to the preparation of a nitrogen heterocycle and over 98% pure trans-4,5-disubstituted gamma-butyrolactones. A short enantioselective synthesis of (-)-methylenolactocine (3) using the radical cyclization and a novel oxidation of alpha-silyl zinc peroxide as a key step is also described.

The lactone 2 which can be converted in one step into (−)-methylenolactocin 1 was prepared in 4 steps, 30 % overall yield and > 92 % ee starting from (E)-3-trimethylsilylpropenal 4. The key step is a new nickel catalyzed cyclization of the polyfunctional bromo-alkenylsilane 3 mediated by Et2Zn. The intermediate organozinc species 7 has been directly oxidized to an aldehyde with oxygen.
