Diastereoselective Synthesis of Cycloalkylamines by Samarium Diiodide-Promoted Cyclizations of α-Amino Radicals Derived from α-Benzotriazolylalkenylamines
摘要:
The condensation of omega-unsaturated aldehydes with benzotriazole and secondary amines affords alpha-benzotriazolylalkenylamines that exist in solution as mixtures of the corresponding benzotriazol-1-yl and benzotriazol-2-yl isomers resulting from their rapid dissociation into iminium cations and the benzotriazolyl anion. The reduction of these adducts with samarium diiodide (SmI2) takes place with formation of the benzotriazolyl anion and alpha-amino alkenyl radicals that undergo 5- or 6-exo-trig cyclizations leading to substituted cycloalkyl- or cycloheteroalkylamines. The presence of an electron-withdrawing substituent in the alkene subunit is required for efficient cyclizations. The formation of cyclopentylamines takes place with unusually high 1,5-cis selectivity (hex-5-enyl radical numbering), and the presence of a 2- or 4-Me substituent also imparts high 1,2- or 1,4-trans stereoinduction, respectively. The corresponding six-membered rings, however, are formed with low diastereoselectivity. Semiempirical calculations performed on model systems suggest that a stabilizing secondary orbital interaction between the amino group and the electron-deficient alkene might in part account for the enhanced cis-selectivity encountered.
Catalytic Iron-Mediated Triene Carbocyclizations: Stereoselective Five-Membered Ring Forming Carbocyclizations
摘要:
The full details of investigations into the regiochemistry and stereochemistry of iron-catalyzed carbocyclizations of 2,7,9-decatriene derivatives to form five-membered carbocyclic ring systems are described. The roles of the allylic substituent, the alkene geometry, diene substitution, and the influence of resident stereogenic centers incorporated in the tether chain connecting the reacting 1,3-diene and alkene subunits are discussed.

The possible role of an iminium ion mediated Diels-Alder reaction on the biosynthetic pathway to himgravinc is discussed. The results of a preliminary investigation of a related oxycarbenium ion mediated Diels-Alder reaction are reported and are in accord with the stereochemistry of the natural product.

An efficient desymmetrization of diols is achieved using phosphonium salts which undergo deprotonation in the presence of a hindered amine base and manganese dioxide to produce α,β-unsaturated hydroxy esters in good yields.

New axially chiral ligands and their allyl esters have been designed and synthesized. The combination of these ligands with [CpRu(CH3CN)3]PF6 has realized highly efficient intramolecular dehydrative cylization of ω‐hydroxy allylalcohols, to give α‐alkenyl‐substituted cyclic ethers with up to greater than 99:1 enantiomeric ratio without activation of the allylic moieties (see scheme; Cp=cyclopentadienyl

The tandem oxidation/Wittig olefination of unactivated diols utilizing manganese dioxide produces α,β-unsaturated hydroxy esters in high yields in a highly effective desymmetrization process. The formation of small quantities of the corresponding lactones suggests that the reaction may proceed through a lactol intermediate in some cases. The α,β-unsaturated hydroxy esters are transformed into symmetrical

N-Heterocycliccarbenes can catalyze beta-alkylations of a range of alpha,beta-unsaturated esters, amides, and nitriles that bear pendant leaving groups to form a variety of ring sizes. In this process, the nucleophilic catalyst transiently transforms the normally electrophilic beta carbon into a nucleophilic site through an unanticipated addition-tautomerization sequence.
