Stereoselective cyclopropanation of α-bromochalcone with diethyl malonate promoted by K2CO3
摘要:
A new Michael-initiated cyclopropanation reaction using alpha-bromochalcones as Michael acceptor was developed. Compared to previous works using arylidenemalonates as Michael acceptor, this novel protocol could improve the synthesis of trans-isomers of diethyl 2-benzoyl-3-phenyl-cyclopropane-1,1-dicarboxylates. More importantly, this method also provided the first access to the cis-isomers of these densely substituted cyclopropanes with the Michael-initiated ring closure (MIRC) strategy, albeit with a poor diastereoselectivity.

The stereoselective [3+2] annulations of cis-2,3-disubstituted cyclopropane1,1-diesters with cyclic/acyclic aliphatic ketones were effected by AlCl3 to provide highly functionalized spirotetrahydrofurans in moderate to excellent yields under very mild conditions.
<i>cis</i>-2,3-Disubstituted Cyclopropane 1,1-Diesters in [3 + 2] Annulations with Aldehydes: Highly Diastereoselective Construction of Densely Substituted Tetrahydrofurans
A series of cis-2,3-disubstituted cyclopropane1,1-diesters were examined in the AlCl3-promoted [3 + 2]-annulations with aldehydes. In this reaction, these cis-cyclopropanes displayed reactivities starkly different from their trans counterparts in terms of the high chemical yields (up to 98%) and provided the desired annulation products with excellent diastereomeric purity. This protocol provides a
cis-2,3-Disubstituted cyclopropane 1,1-diesters were found to be much more reactive than their corresponding trans-isomers in the AlCl3-promoted [3 + 2]-annulations with isothiocyanates. The reaction with the cis-cyclopropanes proceeded to completion within minutes, providing a variety of densely substituted diastereomerically pure 2-iminodihydrothiophenes in moderate to excellent yields.
