On the stereoselectivity opening of achiral dioxane acetals
摘要:
The stereoselectivity of allylation of achiral dioxane acetals cis- and trans-3 and cis- and trans-5 was found to be highly dependent on the nature of the allylmetal reagent, Lewis acid, and stoichiometry. Using TiCl2(O-i-Pr)2 as the Lewis acid in conjunction with allyltrimethylsilane and allyltri-n-butylstannane the selectivity of opening ranged from 1/1 to 18.6/1. In reactions with allyltrimethylsilane, the lack of selectivity for both the cis and trans series (1-2.4/1) was shown to arise from rapid equilibration of ion pairs. Control experiments revealed that the acetals underwent opening faster than isomerization. The reactions with allyltri-n-butylstannane were more selective and dependent on reagent stoichiometry. Moreover, the sense of asymmetric induction for the cis and trans series was opposite. Control experiments again established that isomerization of the acetals occurs slower than reaction with the stannane. These experiments unambiguously rule out the possibility that the opening proceeds via equilibrating ion pairs. The meso dioxane acetal cis-9 reacted with significantly reduced selectivity compared to the 2,4,6-trisubstituted analogue cis-7. On the other hand, the chiral acetal (+/-)-13 reacted much more selectively than the 2,4,6-trisubstituted analogue (+/-)-11. These reactions illustrate the sensitivity of stereochemical outcome to structural and experimental variables and demonstrate the ability to intercept reactive ion pairs under conditions of kinetic control.

Ketones and acyl silanes were reduced to the corresponding alcohols by a simple procedure employing anti-1,3-diol and a catalytic amount (5 mol %) of 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonic acid in benzene at reflux. Asymmetric induction reached up to >99% ee when a chiral pentane-2,4-diol of 97% ee was used.
Asymmetric reduction of aliphatic ketones and acyl silanes using chiral anti-pentane-2,4-diol and a catalytic amount of 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonic acid
Aliphatic ketones were reduced to the corresponding secondaryalcohols by using anti-1,3-diol and a catalytic amount of 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (DNBSA) in benzene at reflux. Addition of 1-octanethiol in that media improved the efficiency of the reduction. Asymmetric reduction of aliphatic ketones was performed by using chiral anti-pentane-2,4-diol, and highly asymmetric induction (up to >99%
Chemistry of 1,3-Glycol Derivatives. IV. Mechanism of the Solvolyses of 2,4-Pentanediol Derivatives and the Reactions of the Proposed Intermediate Acetoxonium Ions with Carbanions and Hydride
stereochemical studies of the solvolyses of various kinds of 2,4-pentanediol derivatives, including 2-acetoxy-4-tosylates, cyclic orthoformates and orthoacetates, have been done and the previously proposed mechanism has been partially revised. The reactions of the proposed intermediate acetoxonium ions with carbanions and with a hydride ion have also been studied.
Face off: The rutheniumcomplexes of a new axially chiral PNN ligand (L) are highly efficient in the presence of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) for hydrogenation of both functionalized and unfunctionalized tert‐alkyl ketones. DMSO is thought to narrow down the many possible complex stereoisomers into a single facial L/Ru complex, thus enhancing the reactivity, selectivity, and productivity.
