MNBA-Mediated β-Lactone Formation: Mechanistic Studies and Application for the Asymmetric Total Synthesis of Tetrahydrolipstatin
摘要:
Various beta-lactones were prepared from beta-hydroxycarboxylic acids by intramolecular dehydration condensation using MNBA, an effective coupling reagent, along with a nucleophilic catalyst. The transition state that provides the desired 4-membered ring model system is disclosed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and the structural features of the transition form are discussed. This method was successfully applied to the asymmetric total synthesis of tetrahydrolipstatin (THL), an antiobestic drug used in clinical treatment to inhibit the activity of pancreatic lipase.

The concept of Lewisbase activation of Lewisacids has been reduced to practice for catalysis of the aldolreaction of silyl ketene acetals and silyl dienol ethers with aldehydes. The weakly acidic species, silicon tetrachloride (SiCl4), can be activated by binding of a strongly Lewis basic chiral phosphoramide, leading to in situ formation of a chiral Lewisacid. This species has proven to be a competent

olefinic aldehydes as well as aliphatic aldehydes (albeit more slowly) with excellent enantioselectivity. The homologous tert-butyldimethylsilyl ketene acetal of tert-butyl propanoate adds with nearly exclusive anti diastereoselectivity to a similar range of aldehydes also with excellent enantioselectivity. The origin of the slower reaction rate with aliphatic aldehydes is revealed to be the formation of chlorosilyl
Dimethylsilyl enolates and alpha-dimethylsilyl esters reacted with aldehydes in N,N-dimethyl-formamide without an activator to give aldol adducts in moderate to good yields. Under the same conditions, the corresponding trimethylsilyl derivatives exhibited lower reactivities toward the aldol reaction. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
