Stereoselective reduction of .gamma.-oxobutanoic acids using DIBAL-H and zinc chloride
摘要:
A variety of gamma-aromatic gamma-ketobutanoic acids can be reduced selectively, under optimized conditions, by the use of DIBAL-H and ZnCl2 to provide the (RS,SR)-gamma-aryl-gamma-hydroxy-beta-methylbutanoic acids. Further evidence has been gathered to support the hypothesis that the reaction proceeds by formation of a seven-membered ring complex with the aluminium or zinc atom bridging the ketone and carboxyl groups which preceeds the reduction step and that this templated reduction accounts for observed high diastereoselectivity. Also we have shown that some gamma-aryl-gamma-butyrolactones can be easily transformed via an oxidative cleavage of the aromatic ring to provide selective synthesis of either cis- or trans-tetrahydro-3-methyl-5-oxo-2-furancarboxylic acid derivatives.

A three‐component coupling between alkanes, CO, and electron‐deficient alkenes in the presence of a catalytic amount of (nBu4N)4W10O32 (TBADT) has resulted in the efficient formation of unsymmetrical ketones. This process is based on the carbonylation of alkyl radicals photocatalytically generated by CH activation of alkanes and the subsequent addition to alkenes (see scheme; EWG=electron‐withdrawing

Carbonylation of Alkyl Radicals Derived from Organosilicates through Visible‐Light Photoredox Catalysis
Primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl radicals formed by the photocatalyzed oxidation of organosilicates underwent efficient carbonylation with carbon monoxide (CO) to give a variety of unsymmetrical ketones. This study introduces the possibility of radical carbonylation under a photooxidative regime.

of a hypervalentiodine(III) catalystunder visible light photolysis allows a mild way of generating acyl radicals from various branchedaldehydes, thereby giving the corresponding hydroacylated products almost exclusively. Another characteristic feature of this approach is the catalytic use of hypervalentiodine(III) reagent, which is a rare example on the generation of radicals in hypervalent iodine

A full study of the use of phenyl selenoesters as precursors to acyl radicals and their subsequent participation in intermolecular and intramolecular alkene addition reactions is detailed. Primary alkyl-, vinyl-, and aryl-substituted acyl radicals generated by Bu3SnH treatment of the corresponding phenyl selenoesters participate cleanly in intermolecular addition reactions with alkenes bearing electron-withdrawing or radical-stabilizing substituents at rates that exceed those of the potentially competitive decarbonylation or reduction. Similarly, their intramolecular addition to activated or unactivated alkenes proceeds without significant competitive reduction or decarbonylation and at rates generally greater-than-or-equal-to 1 x 10(6) s-1 with some occurring at rates greater-than-or-equal-to 3 x 10(7) s-1. Consistent with their behavior in intermolecular addition reactions, the 5-exo-trig cyclizations of secondary and tertiary alkyl-substituted acyl radicals to an unactivated olefin acceptor may be accompanied by varying degrees of decarbonylation, even under low-temperature free-radical reaction conditions. Studies are presented which suggest that the intramolecular additions of acyl radicals to alkenes under the conditions detailed herein may be regarded as irreversible, kinetically controlled processes which exhibit regioselectivity that is predictable based on well-established empirical rules set forth for the analogous free-radical cyclization reactions of alkyl radicals.
