A New Protocol for the Acetoxyallylation of Aldehydes Mediated by Indium in THF
摘要:
[GRAPHICS]A new precursor of a formal 1-hydroxy allyl anion is represented by 3-bromo-1-acetoxy-1-propene, which is synthesized by the ZnCl2-catalyzed addition of acetyl bromide to propenal. 3-Bromo-1-acetoxy-1-propene reacts with indium powder in THF to give the corresponding 3-acetoxylated ally indium complex, which regioselectively adds to aldehydes, affording monoprotected 1-en-3,4-diols. Diastereoselectivity mainly depends on the nature of the aldehyde; saturated aldehydes afford anti adducts, whereas the alpha,beta -unsaturated aldehydes preferentially lead to the syn isomers.

The higher-carbon sugar l-glycero-d-manno-heptose is a major constituent of the inner core region of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of many Gram-negative bacteria. All preparative routes used to date require multiple steps, and scalability has been rarely addressed. Here a highly practical synthesis of crystalline 1,2,3,4,6,7-hexa-O-acetyl-l-glycero-alpha-d-manno-heptopyranose by a simple four-step sequence

[GRAPHICS]We report the results of a combined experimental and theoretical study on the reaction of 3-bromopropenyl acetate in the presence of zinc with three different aldehydes (i.e., benzaldehyde, 2-methylpropanal, and cyclohexanecarboxaldehyde). A 80% de in favor of the anti product has been experimentally observed. with both saturated aldehydes, while for benzaldehyde, a 1:1 synlanti ratio has been found. DFT computations show the existence of three eta(1)-allylic organozinc complexes [gamma-(Z)-5a, gamma-(E)-5a, and alpha-5a], very close in energy. Only gamma-(Z)-5a and gamma-(E)-5a lead to the observed product. The computational investigation of the reaction of these allylic organozinc complexes with benzaldehyde and 2-methylpropanal demonstrates in both cases the existence of two competitive reaction paths leading to the syn and anti adducts, respectively. An anti preference has been found for 2-methylpropanal with both gamma-(Z)-5a and gamma-(E)-5a species (a diastereoselectivity larger than 80% is predicted), in agreement with the experiment. With benzaldehyde, while the reaction of gamma-(Z)-5a retains an anti-stereopreference (de = 70%), that involving gamma-(E)-5a is characterized by two degenerate transition states. In this case, the agreement between computations and experiments would be satisfactory under the assumption that the initial oxidative addition affords the gamma-(E)-5a zinc complex only. Additional MP2 computations have demonstrated that pi-stacking interactions can play a significant role in determining the relative energy of the transition states leading to the syn and anti products.
An exceptionally mild acetoxyallylation of aldehydes in water promoted by zinc is reported, using 3-bromo-1-acetoxyprop-1-ene as starting material; simple diastereoselectivity mainly depends on the nature of the aldehyde.
