Efficient synthesis of spirolactones from cyclic anhydrides via an allylation/alkylation-RCM sequence
摘要:
Starting from cyclic anhydrides the diallyl or dibutenyl lactones were obtained. The ring closing metathesis reaction of these using the Grubbs catalyst provided the corresponding spirolactones in good yields. With diallyl delta-lactone 2h, RCM occurred only in the presence of titanium tetraisopropoxide. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
An efficient of Grignard-type procedure for the preparation of gem-diallylated compound
摘要:
An efficient and a new procedure for the conversion of various carboxylic acid derivatives into the corresponding gemdiallylated compound under mild reaction condition has been developed. The triallyaluminum mediated Grignard-type addition of carboxylic acid derivative was utilized as a key operation to affect the transformation. The procedure is operationally simple, giving good to excellent product yields for a broad range of substrates. The chemoselectivity and regioselectivity of triallylaluminum were also demonstrated.

Unsaturated lactones undergo reductive radicalcyclizations upon treatment with SmI(2)-H(2)O to give decorated cycloheptanes in a single highly selective operation during which up to three contiguous stereocenters are generated. Furthermore, cascade processes involving lactones bearing two alkenes, an alkene and an alkyne, or an allene and an alkene allow "one-pot" access to biologically significant
A new twist: The catalytic asymmetric semipinacol rearrangement reaction of 2‐oxo allylic alcohols 1 in the presence of a catalytic amount of chiral phosphoric acid (R)‐2 a or its silver salt (R)‐2 b affords enantiomerically pure spiroethers 3.

Lactones bearing two alkenes or an alkene and an alkyne undergo reductive cyclization cascades upon treatment with SmI(2)-H(2)O, giving decorated azulene motifs in excellent yields with good diastereocontrol.
A wide variety of organozincs (diethylzinc, alkylzinc halides, and organozincs 2, 5, and 9a-e, functionalized with ester and nitrile groups) undergo a three-component connection reaction with carbon monoxide and allylic benzoates or phosphates 1a-h to furnish unsymmetrical ketones, e.g., 3, 6, and 10, in good yields under 1 atm of carbon monoxide at ambient temperature by the catalysis of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium in THF/HMPA. The regio- and stereoselectivities of the present carbonylation show marked contrast to those reported for the palladium-catalyzed carbonylation of unsymmetrical allylic substrates. For example, the reaction of crotyl benzoate with octylzinc iodide provides all the possible stereo- and regioisomers, i.e., cis- and trans-2-butenyl and 1-methyl-2-propenyl octyl ketones in comparable amounts. The carbonylative coupling of carvyl phosphates, trans- and cis-1h, and gamma-zincio ester 5 is stereospecific and proceeds with inversion of configuration at the allylic stereocenters to furnish cis- and trans-6h, respectively, as single diastereomers. In the absence of HMPA, the reaction feature changes dramatically and lactones 12 and 13 (composed of organozincs, carbon monoxide, and allylating agents in the ratios of 1:1:2 and 2:1:1, respectively) and symmetrical keto diesters 14 (composed of 2 mol of organozincs and 1 mol of carbon monoxide) are formed in varying ratios depending on the reaction conditions. Synthetic scope of the unsymmetrical ketones and mechanistic rationale for these unique and unprecedented reaction behaviors are discussed.
