Experimental Test of Setting Three Contiguous Stereogenic Centers in Water. Diastereoselective Coupling of Geometrically Biased Allylic Bromides to α-Oxy Aldehydes with Indium
摘要:
Indium-promoted additions of (Z)-2-(bromomethyl)-2-butenoate to several alpha-(tert-butyldimethylsiloxy) and alpha-(benzyloxy) aldehydes in water have been examined in order to assess the direction and sense of asymmetric induction in these coupling reactions. High levels of the 3,4-syn;4,5-anti diastereomers were produced, reflecting the promising synthetic potential of this chemistry. This stereodifferentiation has been attributed to the strong geometric bias exercised by this allylindium reagent and adherence to a Felkin-Ahn transition-state alignment. Support for this interpretation was gained by comparing the fate of (E)-cinnamyl bromide under comparable circumstances. In this case, the 3,4-anti;4,5-anti diastereomer predominated as expected.

method for the direct hydroxymethylation of aldehydes and ketones via pinacol cross-coupling with paraformaldehyde is described. The reaction is promoted by vanadium(II) ions which are conveniently generated from the reduction of VCl3(THF)3 with zinc dust. Excellent yields of terminal diols are obtained and stereoselective coupling is observed with some chiral aldehydes and ketones.
Reduction of α-trialkylsiloxy nitriles with diisobutylaluminium hydride (DIBAH): A facile preparation of α-trialkylsiloxy aldehydes and their derivatives
could be achieved via the reduction of α-trimethylsiloxy nitriles with diisobutylaluminium hydride (DIBAH) starting from a variety of ketones. The facile synthesis of optically active α-tert-butyldimethylsiloxy aldehydes was attained by combination of asymmetric silylcyanation of aldehydes and DIBAH reduction of optically active α-siloxy nitriles. Furthermore, in the reduction of some α-tert-butyldimethylsiloxy-β
The nature of the O-protecting group is crucial to obtain, in terms of diastereoselectivity and chemical yields, the best results. An abinitiomolecularorbitalstudy on 2-silyloxy propanal and MM2 studies on 2-alkoxy propanal show the existence of stable cyclic and acyclic conformers, which are presumably responsible for the high syn diastereoselectivity observed in the addition of non-metal carrying

In the reaction between α-alkoxyaldehydes and pentadienyltin. each of the possible four regio- and stereoisomers, syn-γ-, anti-γ-, syn-e-, and anti-e-adducts, was selectively synthesized by the use of an appropriate combination of alkoxyl groups, Lewis acids, and solvents applied.

The stereochemical course of indium-promoted allylations to alpha- and beta-oxy aldehydes has been investigated in solvents ranging from anhydrous THF to pure H2O. The free hydroxyl derivatives react with excellent diastereofacial control to give significantly heightened levels of syn-1,2-diols and anti-1,3-diols. Relative reactivities were determined in the alpha-series, and the hydroxy aldehyde proved to be the most reactive substrate. This reactivity ordering suggests that the selectivity stems from chelated intermediates. The rate acceleration observed in water can be heightened by initial acidification. Indeed, the indium-promoted allylation reaction mixtures become increasingly acidic on their own. Preliminary attention has been accorded to salt effects, and tetraethylammonium bromide was found to exhibit a positive synergistic effect on product distribution. Finally, mechanistic considerations are presented in order to allow for assessment of the status of these unprecedented developments at this stage of advancement of the field.
