Stereoselective Preparation of Vitamin D Precursors Using the Intramolecular Coupling of Alkynes and Cyclopropylcarbene−Chromium Complexes: A Formal Total Synthesis of (±)-Vitamin D3
摘要:
The intramolecular coupling of alkynes and cyclopropylcarbene-chromium complexes has been examined. Complexes that feature a stereogenic center at the propargylic position of the alkyne-carbene tether are the focus of this paper. The reaction produces a cyclopentadienone intermediate fused to an oxygen heterocycle, which is reduced to the corresponding cyclopentenone under the reaction conditions (100 degrees C in aqueous toluene). The preexisting stereogenic center has a powerful influence on the reduction of the cyclopentadienone ring, and predominantly a single diastereomer is produced in the reaction. Reductive cleavage of the heterocyclic ring with retention of stereochemistry affords compounds featuring a stereocenter on the five-membered ring and on a side chain. Use of the above reaction processes for the synthesis of the vitamin D precursor de-ABC-cholestan-14-one is also discussed.

An efficient method for controllable regiodivergent alkynylation of 1,3-bis(boronic) esters using distinct organometallicreagents has been developed. Mechanistic studies revealed that unique chelation patterns are essential in determining selectivity. This approach overcomes the drawbacks associated with coupling reactions through radical mechanisms, which commonly yield the classical products reacting
