A novel protocol for the stereoselective synthesis of variously substituted (Z)-5-ylidene-5H-furan-2-ones
摘要:
The Pd(II)- or Ag(I)-catalyzed lactonization of easily available (E)-4-(1-alkynyl)-2-bromopropenoic acids provides (Z)-3-bromo-5-ylidene-5H-furan-2-ones, 9. These compounds, which represent an unpreviously reported class of (Z)-alkylidenebutenolides, are able to undergo Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions with arylzinc halides, tetraalkylstannanes or alkenylstannanes to provide the corresponding 3-substituted (Z)-5-ylideng-5H-furan-2-ones, 1. The new procedure for the preparation of compounds 1 has been employed in a new synthesis of the butter flavour component bovolide. (C) 1998 Elsevier science Ltd. All rights reserved.
Palladium-mediated cross-coupling reactions involving 3-substituted alkyl (E)-2,3-dibromopropenoates and arylzinc or aryltin derivatives
摘要:
Stereodefined unsymmetrically 3,3-disubstituted alkyl 2-bromopropenoates, 5, were regioselectively prepared by Pd-mediated reactions between 3-alkyl, 3-aryl and 3-alkoxycarbonyl substituted (E)-2,3-dibromopropenoates, (E)-7, and aryl or 1-alkynylzinc chlorides. The stereospecificity of these reactions was found to be dependent on the type of substituent present in the 3-position of (E)-7. The (E)-stereochemistry of compounds 5b, 5d and 5i so prepared was confirmed by their conversion into the corresponding 4-substituted 3-bromocoumarins. Tetrasubstituted alpha,beta-unsaturated esters 10 were then synthesized by Pd-mediated reactions either of (E)-7 with a molar excess of an arylzinc chloride or an aryltributylstannane, or of a compound of general formula 5 with an aryltributylstannane. An examination of the parameters which influence the stereochemistry and the yields of these arylations was made.
