Asymmetric Catalytic Cycloetherification Mediated by Bifunctional Organocatalysts
摘要:
Oxacyclic structures such as tetrahydrofuran (THF) rings are commonly found in many bioactive compounds, and this has led to several efforts toward their stereoselective syntheses. However, the process of catalytic asymmetric cycloetherification for their straightforward synthesis has remained a challenge. In this study, we demonstrate a novel asymmetric synthesis method for THF via the catalytic cycloetherification of epsilon-hydroxy-alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones mediated by cinchona-alkaloid-thiourea-based bifunctional organocatalysts. This catalytic process represents a highly practical cycloetherification method that provides excellent enantioselectivities, even with low catalyst loadings at ambient temperature.

An atom-economical method for the convenient synthesis of tetrahydropyrans and tetrahydrofurans is reported. Enones and enals derived from the [IndRu(PPh3)2Cl]-catalyzed redoxisomerization of primary and secondary propargylalcohols undergo a subsequent intramolecular conjugate addition to provide cyclic ethers in excellent yields.

Depending on the nature of the metal catalyst, omega-hydroxy propargylic acetates choose between alternative cycloetherification manifolds to produce functionalized heterocycles in high yields. AuCl catalyzes the formation of oxacyclic enol acetates, whereas [Cl(2)Pt(CH(2)CH(2))]2 (Zeise's dimer) will induce a propargylic substitution via an unprecedented S(N)2'-type allenic substitution from within

A highly enantioselective cycloetherification strategy for the straightforward synthesis of enantioenriched tetrahydrofurans, tetrahydropyrans, and oxepanes using Song’s cation-binding oligoEG catalyst and KF as the base is demonstrated. A wide range of ε-, ζ-, and η-hydroxy-α,β-unsaturated ketones were cyclized to the corresponding five-, six-, and seven-membered chiral oxacycles with high enantiopurity

A thiourea/proline derivative-catalyzed synthesis of linear a-substituted tetrahydrofuran/pyran derivatives starting with lactol substrates is presented. This study demonstrates the utility and potential complications of using (thio)urea/proline cocatalysis as each of these catalysts is necessary to provide the observed reactivity, but a time-dependent decrease in enantioselectivity is observed. New mechanistic insights into (thio)urea/proline cocatalysis are presented.
