Convenient preparation of (Z)-α-halo-α,β-unsaturated aldehydes: synthesis of a Laurencia flexilis toxin
摘要:
The CrCl(2)-mediated two-carbon halo-homologation of aryl, alkenyl, and aliphatic aldehydes with chloral ethyl hemiacetal or bromal affords (Z)-alpha-chloro- and (Z)-alpha-bromo-alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes, respectively, in good to excellent yields and high stereoselectivity. The utility of this methodology was illustrated by a synthesis of 2-chloropentadec-2(Z)-enal, a toxin isolated from the marine red alga Laurencia flexilis. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
A new simple and efficient transformation of aromatic aldehydes into α-chlorocinnamaldehydes is described. Catalytic olefination reaction of hydrazones of aromatic aldehydes with 2-trichloromethyl-1,3-dioxolane gives ethylene acetals of target alkenes in moderate to good yields. The reaction proceeds stereoselectively to form preferably Z-isomers.
