Synthesis of (S)- and (R)-Sporochnol by Using the Allylic Substitution of the Secondary Allylic Picolinate
摘要:
The allylic substitution of secondary allylic picolinates and copper reagents for the construction of a quaternary carbon was applied to synthesis of sporochnol. The enantiomerically enriched allylic picolinate (R)-5 was synthesized through the asymmetric hydrogen transfer of acetylene ketone 11 and the Pd-catalyzed methylation of the iodoallylic alcohol 16a. The key allylic substitution of the allylic picolinate (R)-5 with 4-MeOC6H4MgBr/Cu(acac)(2) (2:1) proceeded with 95% chirality transfer with 98% regioselectivity to afford anti S(N)2' product 6 in 89% yield, which was converted to the methyl ether of unnatural (R)-sporochnol. Similarly, the methyl ether of (S)-sporochnol (the natural form) was synthesized.
Fine-tuning catalytic activity and selectivity—[Rh(amino acid thioamide)] complexes for efficient ketone reduction
摘要:
Amino acid-derived thioamides are prepared and evaluated as ligands in the rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of ketones in 2-propanol. It is found that increasing the steric bulk at the C-terminus of the ligand had a positive impact on both activity and selectivity in the reduction reaction. In order to find the optimum catalyst, a study is performed on a series of thioamide ligands having substituents of varying size. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Using cinchona alkaloid-derived primary amines as catalysts and aqueous hydrogenperoxide as the oxidant, we have developed highly enantioselective Weitz-Scheffer-type epoxidation and hydroperoxidation reactions of α,β-unsaturated carbonylcompounds (up to 99.5:0.5 er). In this article, we present our full studies on this family of reactions, employing acyclic enones, 5-15-membered cyclic enones, and
borylation/aldolisation of methyl 2‐fluoroacrylate with carbonyl compounds followed by an elimination to give Morita–Baylis–Hillman (MBH) analogues. The optimal conditions described were shown to be compatible with a wide range of aldehydes and ketones. Unprecedented MBH adducts derived fromketones were efficiently synthesized.

Nearly exclusive 1-4 addition produts obtained by action of lithium dialkylcuprates with α,β ethylenic aldehydes. Non polar solvents and low temperatures favour this reaction .Only α,β-ehylenic aldehydes having a trisubstituted double bond give a relatively important proportation of 1–2 addition product.
from α-substituted (homo)allyl alcohols. In tandem reactions, cyclopropyl carbinols are obtained from allyloxylithium or -magnesium intermediates, generated in situ by alkylation of conjugated aldehydes, ketones, and esters as well as from allyl esters and carbonates or vinyloxiranes.

acetate-pyridine complex supported by hydrotalcite) catalyzes the aerobic oxidation in toluene of a variety of primary and secondary alcohols into the corresponding aldehydes and ketones in high yields using atmospheric pressure of air as a sole oxidant under mild conditions. This catalyst is also effective for the oxidation of allylicalcohols, especially such as geraniol and nerol, without any isomerization of an
