Diastereoselective Cycloadditions and Transformations ofN-Alkyl andN-Aryl Maleimides with Chiral 9-Anthrylethanol Derivatives
摘要:
Thermal Diels-Alder reactions of chiral 9-methoxyethyl and 9-hydroxyethyl anthracene have been investigated both experimentally and computationally with a range of N-substituted maleimides. Whereas cycloadditions with 9-methoxyethyl anthracene proceeded with almost complete diastereselectivity, those with 1-anthracenc-9-yl-ethanol resulted in essentially no diastereoselectivity. Subsequent regio- and stereoselective transformations with reducing agents and carbon nucleophiles demonstrated the synthetic utility of this methodology, which was applied to the enantioselective synthesis of pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines and an attempted synthesis of the alkaloid crispine A. Computational studies supported the proposed hypotheses for the stereoselectivity observed in the transformations described.

A tandem approach for the preparation of gram quantities of enantiomerically pure 9-(hydroxyethyl)-anthracene is presented using an asymmetric reduction followed by kinetic resolution that has potential applicability to other chiral alcohols.

Highly stereoselective Friedel–Crafts reactions have been performed using a chiral anthracene template to control the selectivity of the reaction. In the case of additions to fully substituted N-acyliminium ions, competitive elimination and condensation reactions were observed. Retro-Diels–Alder reaction of one of the reaction products led to a precursor that could be used for the construction of pyroglutamic

Diels-Alder cycloadditions of p-benzoquinone with 9R-(1-methoxyethyl)anthracene provides a 60:40 ratio of cycloadducts when heated at reflux in xylene. Mechanistic studies to explore the origins of this selectivity have shown that at lower temperatures the kinetic product predominates, giving a 96:4 ratio of cycloadducts.
