Dramatic Solvent Effect on the Diastereoselectivity of Michael Addition: Study toward the Synthesis of the ABC Ring System of Hexacyclinic Acid
摘要:
During our studies toward the synthesis of the ABC ring system of hexacyclinic acid, we have observed a dramatic influence of the solvent on both our key steps. The diastereoselectivity of the intermolecular Michael addition could be totally reversed by changing the polarity of the solvent, and trifluoroethanol was found to be the optimal solvent for the following Mn(III)-promoted radical cyclization.

During our studies toward the synthesis of the ABC ring system of hexacyclinic acid, we observed an unexpected influence of the steric bulk of the ester group of the Michael acceptor in a key conjugate addition. We propose an eight-membered ring transition state to explain the formation of the undesired diastereomer in the case of unhindered esters.
