Syntheses of Highly Substituted Enantiopure C6 and C7 Enones1
摘要:
Enantiopure epoxyvinyl sulfones SS-9a, SS-9b, produced from Jacobsen epoxidation of 2-phenylsulfonyl 1,3-cyclohexa- and cycloheptadiene, are used as a template for the construction of substituted cycloalkenones and as chiral synthetic equivalents of enones a and b. The addition of carbon nucleophiles to SS-9a, SS-9b is high yielding and stereospecific. Enantiopure alpha,beta- and gamma-substituted cycloalkenones are easily constructed using a variety of methods.
The invention provides novel six and seven-carbon termini-differentiated polypropionate stereotetrads and stereopentads useful in syntheses of natural products. The invention also provides a novel alkylative sulfenylation-desulfonylation process that efficiently transforms enantiopure epoxyvinyl sulfones to syn and anti dienylsulfides in two operations.

A desymmetrizing dehydrogenation process catalyzed by a chiral primary amine is described herein. The reaction proceeds through the oxidation of a ketone enamine by IBX and enables the highly enantioselective desymmetrization of 4‐substituted cyclohexanones with the generation of chiral 4‐substituted cyclohexenones containing a remote γ‐stereocenter.

Recently, Nicolaou and Baran independently synthesized optically active 4-substituted 2-cyclohexenones via an efficient LION-mediated intramolecular aldol condensation. Thus far, application of their cyclization approach has been limited to ketoaldehydes where the R-group is branched. It is demonstrated that the LiOH-mediated cyclization, when applied to substrates containing unbranched R-groups, results in significant erosion of optical purity. A mechanistic justification is provided, and a set of neutral, organocatalyzed conditions is identified that enables cyclization with little loss in optical purity.
