A general enantioselective route to the chamigrene natural product family
摘要:
Described in this report is an enantioselective route toward the chamigrene natural product family. The key disconnections in our synthetic approach include sequential enantioselective decarboxylative allylation and ring-closing olefin metathesis to form the all-carbon quaternary stereocenter and spirocyclic core present in all members of this class of compounds. The generality of this strategy is demonstrated by the first total syntheses of elatol and the proposed structure of laurencenone B, as well as the first enantioselective total syntheses of laurencenone C and alpha-chamigrene. A brief exploration of the substrate scope of the enantioselective decarboxylative allylation/ring-closing metathesis sequence with fully substituted vinyl chlorides is also presented.

functions with nearly identical efficiency in terms of yield and enantioselectivity. Catalyst discovery and development, the optimization of reaction conditions, the exploration of reactionscope, and applications in target‐directed synthesis are reported. Experimental observations suggest that these alkylationreactions occur through an unusual inner‐sphere mechanism involving binding of the prochiral

The catalytic enantioselective formation of tetrasubstituted α-alkoxycarbonyl compounds is an ongoing challenge to synthetic chemists.[1] Fully-substituted α-hydroxyesters and acids comprise essential components of, and building blocks for, many bioactive natural products. These include quinic acid (1), cytotoxic leiodolide A (2),[2] and the anti-cancer agents in the harringtonine series (3a–f), whose activities depend dramatically on the presence and composition of an α-hydroxyester side-chain.[3] While many approaches to these important moieties exist,[4,5] we envisioned applying our recently developed palladium-catalyzed methods for the formation of enantioenriched all-carbon quaternary stereocenters in cyclic alkanones[6] to a general synthesis of C(α)-tetrasubstituted hydroxy carbonyl compounds.[7]
