An efficient formal synthesis of (−)‐englerin A (1) is reported. The target molecule is a recently isolated guaiane sesquiterpene that possesses highly potent and selective activity against renal cancer cell‐lines. Our enantioselective strategy involved the construction of the BC ring system of compound 1 through a RhII‐catalyzed [4+3] cycloaddition reaction followed by subsequent attachment of the

Substituted α-silylacetic esters have been prepared in good yields and with reasonable diastereoselectivities by three different routes. The first two involved alkylation of the parent α-silylacetic ester enolates, with the chiral auxiliaries being present either on silicon or on the ester function. The third route involving asymmetric insertion of metal-carbenoids into the SiH bond was found to afford

The addition of diazoacetoacetates to aromatic imines derived from p-methoxyaniline is achieved using dirhodium tetraacetate as the catalyst. Highly functionalized aziridines are obtained in good yield and with excellent stereoselectivity. 2-Diazo-1,3-diketones also provide good yields of aziridines, but dimethyl diazomalonate is inactive in the transformation. The diazoacetoacetates of chiral alcohols are also examined in the reaction and moderate diastereoselectivity is achieved with (R)-pantolactone-derived diazoacetoacetate. A reaction mechanism through metal-carbene and azomethine ylide is proposed.

A series of enantiomerically enriched tropanes was synthesized by the rhodium(II) octanoate-catalyzed reaction of various N-BOC-protected pyrroles with vinyldiazomethanes. The overall 3 + 4 annulation occurs by a tandem cyclopropanation/Cope rearrangement. Asymmetric induction was best achieved in these transformations by using either (S)-lactate or (R)-pantolactone as a chiral auxiliary on the vinyldiazomethanes. Reactions carried out with the chiral catalyst tetrakis[N-( 4-tert-butylbenzenesulfonyl)-(L)-prolinato]dirhodium (2) provided moderate asymmetric induction, but also resulted in the formation of isomeric azabicyclooctane side products. The utility of the synthetic process was demonstrated through the asymmetric synthesis of(-)-anhydroecgonine methyl ester and (-)-ferruginine.
α,α′-Dioxothiones part 2. Asymmetric Diels-Alder reactions of chiral non-racemic α,α′-dioxothiones
Chiral non-racemic alpha,alpha'-dioxothiones 2a-g and 17 are obtained from chiral beta-ketoesters using the phthalimidesulfenyl chloride 1 as key reagent. The ability of these thiones to discriminate between the enantiotopic faces of several dienophiles has been evaluated, The best diastereoisomeric excesses (67-80%) were obtained when the alpha-acyl thiones were involved as electron-poor dienes in inverse electron demand Diels-Alder reactions with electron-rich styrenes as dienophiles. The possibility to obtain thiones bearing two,chiral groups as-well as the reactions where the alpha-acyl thiones 2 participate as dienophiles are also shown. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
