Bicyclic- and Tricyclic-β-lactones via Organonucleophile-Promoted Bis-Cyclizations of Keto Acids: Enantioselective Synthesis of (+)-Dihydroplakevulin
摘要:
A highly diastereoselective, nucleophile-promoted bis-cyclization process, employing readily available and tractable keto acid substrates, is described. This methodology provides concise access to bicyclic- and tricyclic-beta-lactones bearing tertiary carbinol centers and quaternary carbons, greatly extending the scope of previous routes to bicyclic-beta-lactones from aldehyde acid substrates. The utility of the method was demonstrated by application to an enantioselective synthesis of (+)-dihydroplakevulin A. This and related processes may be revealing a subtle interplay between [2+2] cycloaddition and nucleophile-catalyzed aldol lactonization (NCAL) reaction manifolds.

A conjugate reduction of α,β-unsaturated thioesters catalyzed by copper hydride using PMHS as stoichiometric reductant has been developed. 1,2-Bis(diphenylphosphino)benzene (BDP) was the most effective ligand for this reduction. Saturated thioesters could be produced in excellent yields when the substituent on the thiol is not sterically-demanding. This protocol was applied to induce the reductive aldol cyclization of keto-enethioates, which could offer β-hydroxythioesters in moderate to good yields.

of β-lactones to γ-lactones and 3(2H)-furanones was developed involving initial acyl C−O cleavage leading to δ-hydroxy-α-diazo-β-ketoesters and β-ketophosphonates. Subsequent tandem Wolff rearrangement/lactonization of these α-diazo intermediates provided cis-fused γ-lactones efficiently under photolytic or thermolytic conditions. In addition, cis-fused 3(2H)-furanones were obtained by rhodium(II)-catalyzed
