An asymmetric synthesis of esters and γ-lactones with simultaneous construction of vicinal stereogenic carbons at the α- and β-position starting from optically active 1-chlorovinyl p-tolyl sulfoxides
摘要:
Treatment of optically active 1-chlorovinyl p-tolyl sulfoxides with two different substituents at the 2-position, which were synthesized from aldehydes or unsymmetrical ketones and (R)-(-)-chloromethyl p-tolyl sulfoxide in two or three steps, with the lithium enolate of carboxylic acid tert-butyl esters gave the adducts with substituents at the alpha- and beta-position with high 1,3- and 1,4-chiral induction from the stereogenic sulfur center in high yields. The adducts were converted to optically active esters and gamma-lactones having stereogenic centers at the alpha- and beta-position in good to high yields. This procedure offers a new method for a synthesis of optically active carboxylic acid derivatives with stereogenic centers at the alpha- and beta-position. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

be considered as a new frontier in the development of stereoselective reactions. An organocatalytic procedure mediated by the MacMillan imidazolidinone catalyst was coupled with an InBr3‐mediated process for the development of a novel stereoselective allylation reaction of aldehydes. Up to 98 % ee and up to 5:1 d.r. were obtained in the process.
