Synthesis of (−)-Erythrodiene and (+)-7-Epispirojatamolvia Intramolecular Pd-Catalyzed Allylzincation
摘要:
Two spirobicyclic sesquiterpenoids, (-)-erythrodiene (1) and (+)-7-epispirojatamol (30),were synthesized in enantiomerically pure form via an intramolecular allylzincation process. The allylzinc species were formed in the presence of Et,Zn via transmetallation of a catalytically generated allylpalladium intermediate. Several Pd catalysts were tested for this transformation, and [Pd(OAc)(2)/Bu3P(1 equiv.) was found to be, by far, the most effective. Whereas the preparation of 1 involved allylzincation of a tethered terminal olefin. 30 was formed via a novel intramolecular allylzincation of a methyl ketone. Both reactions showed the same stereochemical preference. yielding the spirobicyclic products in 95:5 and 4:1 diastereoisomer ratios, respectively.

Authentic α-santolinenone ( = (+)-(4R)-1(7)-p-menthen-2-one; (+)-1) is made available for the the first time in 30% overall yield from (+)-(4R)-p-menthene ((+)-2) via the diastereoisomeric allylic alcohols (+)-4a/(+)-4b, which are oxidized to (+)-1 with Ag2CO3/Celite. Yields are good, except for the last stage; indeed, only alcohol (+)-4a, with equatorial OH-group, undergoes oxidation, and (+)-1 is
