Highly substituted .alpha.-silylated cyclopentanones from ethyl levulinate: an entry to a methylenomycin B analog
摘要:
The transformation of alpha-diphenylmethylsilylated ethyl levulinate acetal, 1, to a series of alpha-silylated cyclopentanones has been studied. The approach was based on a three-step process in which 1 was initially transformed into alpha-(diphenylmethylsilyl)-gamma-(ethylenedioxy) ketones by its reaction with Grignard reagents. A novel highly substituted 2,3-dihydrofuran was also obtained as a secondary product. Deprotonation-trimethylsilylation of these ketones under kinetic conditions produced 3-silylated-2-silyl enol ethers in a regio- and stereoselective manner. The Z isomer was shown to predominate. These enol ethers were stereoselectively transformed into alpha-silylated cyclopentanones by a TiCl4-promoted intramolecular Mukaiyama reaction. The geometry of the silyl enol ethers determined the stereochemistry of the cyclic ketone products, and the integrity of the diphenylmethylsilyl group was maintained. A methylenomycin B analog was prepared in one pot from one of the polyfunctional ketones by means of a beta-alkoxy elimination followed by a Peterson-type alpha-methylenation with formaldehyde. This analog, 3-methyl-5-methylene-2-(2-phenylethyl)-2-cyclopenten-1-one, 12, showed in vitro cytotoxicity against CHO-K1 cells.
