Thermal/Hyperbaric Heterocycloaddition of 1,4-Dialkoxy-1,3-dienes: The de novo (E,Z) Way to Sugars
摘要:
1-(Z)-Alkoxy-4-(E)-methoxybutadiene derivatives have been reacted with ethylgyoxylate and diethyl ketomalonate under thermal or hyperbaric conditions. They provide, with a total regioselectivity and fair to total endoselectivities, the expected dihydropyranic cycloadducts. Three of those pseudoglycals have been converted in a few classical steps (deprotection, reduction, and dihydroxylation) into (racemic) allose, mannose, and gullose derivatives. The order of these three steps has a direct influence on the efficiency of the transformation and determines the stereochemistry of the final sugar.
Stereocontrolled Synthesis and Cycloaddition of 1,4-Dialkoxy 1,3-Dienes
摘要:
An efficient and stereocontrolled access to 1(Z),3(E)-1,4-dialkoxybutadienes is described that relies on a base-induced conjugated elimination reaction on y-alkoxy or aryloxy a,a-unsaturated acetals. The dienes have then been applied in [4 + 2] cycloaddition reactions where they demonstrate a good thermal reactivity toward activated dienophiles. Despite the 1,4-competition between oxygenated groups, both regio- and endoselectivities are total. A set of experiments has led to the conclusion that the (1Z,3E) pattern is responsible for these high stereocontrols. Several chiral alkoxy dienes have also been prepared following the same route. Their thermal cycloaddition with N-methylmaleimide leads to corresponding adducts in good yields and with total endoselectivities, but modest diastereoisomeric excess.
