6-Methyl-1-oxa-4-thiaspiro[4.5]dec-6-ene-7-carbaldehyde was treated with a variety of nucleophiles under varying conditions. Whereas the 1,4-diastereoselectivity observed with sp(3) nucleophiles was more or less 1.0:1.1 in favor of attack anti to sulfur, sp(2) and sp nucleophiles exhibited relatively much improved but reversed pi-selection under the same conditions. The highest selectivity observed was 3.5:1.0 in favor of attack syn to sulfur in reaction with PhMgBr in Et2O at -80 degrees C. This selectivity was reduced to 1.6:1.0 when the reaction was conducted in a 9:1 mixture of Et2O and HMPA but enhanced to 7.2:1.0 when the polarity of the reaction medium was reduced by conducting the reaction in a 1:1 mixture of Et2O and n-hexane. Neither the anti to S nor the syn to S diastereoselectivity obeyed the dipole model reported by Wipf and Kim. The syn to S selectivity in reactions with sp(2) and sp nucleophiles may be a result of significant and yet specific electrostatic attraction of S for these nucleophilic species which have their negative charges concentrated largely on the carbon for their known significant polar characters.

[(6-Methyl-1-oxa-4-thiaspiro[4.5]dec-6-en-7-yl)(allyl)methanols were subjected to anion-accelerated oxy-Cope rearrangement in solvents such as THF, benzene and DME to assess the Ï-facial selectivity caused by the acetal function. The diastereomeric pairs 17a and 17b (R = Ph) furnished the same two diastereomeric products 18a and 18b, differing only in the relative preponderance. The reaction of 17a turned from mostly syn to oxygen (18aâ¶18b = 1â¶4) in THF to moderately syn to sulfur (18aâ¶18b = 2.2â¶1) in DME. The reaction was completely nonselective in benzene. The effect of solvent on the reaction of 17b was even more interesting. The reaction turned from completely nonselective (18aâ¶18b = 1â¶1) in THF to highly syn to sulfur (18aâ¶18b = 5.4â¶1) in DME. The selectivity in benzene was somewhere in between (18aâ¶18b = 2.7â¶1). Likewise, the reaction of 17b (R = H) turned from moderately syn to oxygen in THF (18aâ¶18b = 1â¶2) to nearly nonselective in DME (18aâ¶18b = 1â¶1.1). The rotation around the bond between the methanol carbon and the adjacent ring-carbon is restricted to allow rearrangement only syn to sulfur in 17a and syn to oxygen in 17b. The considerable erosion in the observed diastereoselectivity is due to a radical and/or ionic retroaldolârecombination process. The radical pathway, however, is more prevalent than the ionic alternative. The recombination favors somewhat the addition of the allyl radical to the cogenerated 7-benzoyl-6-methyl-1-oxa-4-thiaspiro[4.5]dec-6-ene on the face syn to the sulfur. As a result of such dissociation and recombination, the oxy-Cope rearrangement does not appear suitable as a probe for the study of diastereofacial selectivity.
