We report the syn-selective Michael addition of a series of substituted primary and secondary nitromethane derivatives 4a-g to chiral enoates (Z)-2a and (E)-2a in the presence of TBAF . 3H(2)O or DBU. Regardless of the base employed, adducts syn-5a-g were obtained in good de (80-100%) from the reactions of 4a-g with (Z)-2a. However, in the addition to (E)-2a, the syn-diastereoselectivities depended on the structure of the nucleophile (80-90% de for nitromethane (4a), 80% de for phenylnitromethane (4g), 50 and 34% de for the primary nitromethane derivatives 4b and 4d, and 0 and 6% de for the secondary nitromethane derivatives 4e and 4f). A mixture of epimers (2:1/1:1) was obtained at the chiral center bearing the nitro group in 5b and 5d-g. The syn/anti ratio C-3,C-4 is kinetically controlled, while the epimeric ratio at the CNO2 chiral center (C-1') seems to be thermodynamically controlled. Adducts 5a,b,c,g were transformed into the respective cis-beta,gamma-disubstituted gamma-butyrolactones 6a, 7, 9a, and 9e. A mechanistic rationale to explain the observed diastereoselectivities is proposed.
