Asymmetric Michael additions to .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated oxazolines. An efficient preparation of chiral .beta.,.beta.-disubstituted propionaldehydes
摘要:
A short stereoselective route to a variety of chiral, nonracemic alpha,beta-unsaturated oxazolines derived from (S)-tert-leucinol is described. Addition of organolithium reagents to this chiral oxazoline occurs in a Michael fashion, giving rise to adducts with high diastereoselectivity. Reductive cleavage of the oxazoline leaves the beta,beta-disubstituted aldehydes in > 93% ee. This process represents a significant improvement in one of the earliest asymmetric conjugate additions first reported in 1975.
The asymmetricallylicsubstitution of allylphosphates with aryl‐ and alkenylboronates catalyzed by a copper/N‐heterocyclic carbene complex was developed and the γ‐substitution products were obtained with high enantioselectivity (see scheme). To account for the observed influence of the reaction parameters a possible catalytic cycle for this process was proposed.

Enantio selective acylation of some(+/-)-3-alkyl-3-phenyl-1-propanols was performed with enzymes as catalysts. Moderate enantiomeric ratios (E), ranging up to E = 11.6, were obtained. In the resolution, some of the lipases selectively acylated the (+)-enantiomer while others acylated the (-)-enantiomer of the gamma-substituted primary alcohols 1-4. Thus, it is possible to obtain both enantiomers of the alcohols as remaining substrate with high enantiomeric purity. The resolution of (+/-)-4,4-dimethyl-3-phenyl-1-pentanol 4 was extensively studied and screening experiments were conducted to select suitable lipase(s), reaction medium, acyl donor and appropriate temperature combinations to increase the enantiomeric ratio. Chirazyme (R) L-6/chloroform/vinyl propionate/38 degrees C and Chirazyme (R) L-7/di-iso-propyl ether/vinyl propionate/0 degrees C were chosen to obtain both enantiomers, (R)-(+)-4 and (S)-(-)-4, respectively, via sequential resolutions in excellent enantiomeric excess (> 98%) and in 25% and 22% yield, respectively.
