Efficient Hydroxyl Inversion in Propionates via Cesium Carboxylates
摘要:
A versatile method for hydroxyl inversion, based on cesium carboxylates, was developed for polypropionate precursors and models. This procedure is compatible with a number of functional groups, including 3,4-epoxy alcohols, which tend to cyclize under basic conditions. This strategy allowed the preparation of a series of diastereomeric alcohols and new 3,4-epoxy alcohols, not available by standard iodocyclization techniques.
Stereochemistry of the iodocarbonatation of cis- and trans-3-methyl-4-pentene-1,2-diols: the unusual formation of several anti iodo carbonates
摘要:
A study on the stereoselective preparation of a series of 3-methyl-4,5-epoxy alcohols as an entry to polypropionates was undertaken. Initially, the opening of cis and trans TIPS-protected 2,3-epoxy butanols by propynyldiethylalane showed an excellent regioselectivity favoring the monoprotected 1,2-diol products. The resulting propargylic alcohols were stereoselectively reduced to the cis and trans 1-[(triisopropylsilyl)oxy]-3-methyl-4-hexen-2-ols. Iodocarbonatation of these four isomeric homoallylic alcohols was carried out and the stereochemistry of the intermediate iodo carbonates established. Interestingly, a complete anti selectivity (>20:1 anti:syn) was observed when both the syn 3-methyl and cis double-bond geometry were present (3b, 10, and 20). The anti relative configuration for all of the iodo carbonates was established by NMR, and that of 5b was confirmed by X-ray crystallography. This study demonstrated that the relative stereochemistry of the hydroxyl and C(3) methyl groups in combination with the cis or trans geometry of the alkene exerts a significant effect on the stereochemical outcome of the iodocarbonatation reaction. Methanolysis of the iodo carbonates produced the desired 3-methyl-4,5-epoxy alcohols. The application of this chemistry to the reiterative synthesis of polypropionates was carried out with epoxy alcohol 4a (anti isomer), producing a new homologated epoxy alcohol, 22, with six contiguous stereocenters in a highly stereoselective manner.

reaction of 3-O-substituted propynyl aluminum reagents with a TIPS-protected 2,3-epoxy alcohol and several diastereomeric 2-methyl-3,4-epoxy alcohols offers a convenient synthetic approach for the subsequent preparation and epoxidation of allylic alcohols. The yields are low to moderate and the regioselectivity (internal vs external attack) similar to that of the standard diethylpropynyl aluminum reagent

An efficient nonaldol convergent synthesis of the C14–C25 polyketide fragment of bafilomycin A1 was completed in 16% overall yield and 8 steps in its longest linear sequence. This synthesis highlights the formation of the key fragments using a three-step sequence of epoxide cleavage, alkyne reduction, and epoxidation developed in our laboratory; starting from suitably protected enantiomeric epoxides
