Asymmetric synthesis of (+)-2-aminobicyclo[3.1.0]hexane-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (LY354740)
摘要:
The asymmetric synthesis of(+)-2-aminobicyclo[3.1.0]hexane-2, 6-dicarboxylic acid (LY354740) 1, a potent and selective group 2 mGluR agonist, has been accomplished starting from the readily available enantiomerically pure cyclopentenone 4. Thus, cyclopropanation with ethyl(dimethylsulfuranylidene)acetate generated in situ with DBU, followed by deketalization gave rise to the dihydroxy bicyclic ketone 9. After protecting the ketone as 1,3-dioxolane and its transformation to the orthoformate 11, this was pyrolytically deoxygenated in a sealed tube to the bicyclic enone 13. The Synthesis was completed after hydrogenation, stereoselective Bucherer-Bergs reaction and hydantoin hydrolysis, yielding LY354740 (+)-1 with an e.e. greater than or equal to 98%.

The powerful antitumor agents ottelione A and B were synthesized in racemic form by a method that relies on selective ring closing metathesis. Optically pure natural (+)-ottelione A was then made from D-ribose, via an alpha-keto cyclopropane. A key feature of the route is that the cyclopropyl group controls the stereochemistry in the attachment of the ArCH2 unit and is then converted by the action of SmI2 into a vinyl group, so that the substituents on the resulting five-membered ring have the required trans relationship. Epimerization of an intermediate gave access, by the same method to the trans ring fused isomer (-)-ottelione B.
