摘要:
The higher analogues of alpha-pinene, such as 2-ethyl-, 2-n-propyl-, 8-isobutyl-, 2-phenyl-, and 2-isopropylapopinenes, were treated with borane-methyl sulfide (BMS) in the stoichiometry of 1.2:1, respectively, in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (THF) at 25 degrees C, obtaining an equilibrium mixture of 2-organylapoisopinocampheylboranes (2-R-apoisopinylborane, RapBH(2)) as major and bis(2-organylapoisopinocampheyl)borane [bis(2-R-apoisopinyl)borane, Rap(2)BH] as minor constituents. Treatment of the equilibrium mixture of boranes with tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) at 34 degrees C readily and selectively provided the optically pure bis(2-organylapoisopinocampheylborane) T adducts, (RapBH(2))(2).TMEDA, in satisfactory yield. This reaction is quite general and appears to be broadly applicable to the conversion of the sterically bulkier 2-organylapopinenes (2-R-apopinenes) with widely varied steric requirements and lower optical purity (87-92% ee) into the corresponding optically pure (RapBH(2))(2).TMEDA derivatives, approaching greater than or equal to 99% ee. Treatment of the crystalline bis-adduct in ethyl ether with BF3.EE precipitates (BF3)(2).TMEDA and provides RapBH(2) of essentially greater than or equal to 99% ee, enantiomerically purer than the 2-R-apopinenes of 87-92% ee utilized for these preparations.

Optically pure and sterically varied (2-organylapoisopinyl)dihaloboranes [RapBX2, R = Me (except for X = I), Et, Pr, i-Bu, Ph, i-Pr, X = Cl, Br, I], potentially important reagents for asymmetricsynthesis, are conveniently prepared by the in situ reduction and hydroboration reaction of boron trihalide, trimethylsilane, and 2-organylapopinenes (2-R-apopinenes) under mild reaction conditions in essentially
