Stereoselective Synthesis of Highly Substituted .gamma.-Lactones by Diastereoselective Alkylation of .alpha.-(Benzenesulfonyl) Derivatives with Unusual Facial Selectivity
摘要:
The oxidation of alpha-(phenylthio) gamma-lactones obtained by the base-induced cyclization of enantiomerically enriched gamma-[(phenylthio) acyl]-alpha,beta-unsaturated esters to sulfones in those cases where the a-carbon has an available proton and further basic alkylation led to an unexpected facial selectivity. The reaction proceeded smoothly with alkylating agents and unsaturated carbonyl compounds, but was unsuccessful when an addition to carbonyl derivatives was attempted. The alkylation reaction was performed over a wide range of substituted substrates in order to investigate the scope and limitations of the method and to have information about the possible origin of the selectivity. The application of the alkylation reaction was extended to the synthesis of bicyclic systems, including a cyclobutane with total stereochemical control. The presence of the alpha-(benzenesulfonyl) group is shown to be essential to achieve the facial selection. In order to rationalize the stereochemical results, extensive semiempirical calculations were performed. The use of MNDO and AM1 permits rationalization of the fact that the alpha-(benzenesulfonyl) group encumbers a diastereoface of the enolate generated in the ring, leading to the observed stereochemistry.
