Synthesis of 1-alkyl-2-methylazetidin-3-ones and 1-alkyl-2-methylazetidin-3-ols
摘要:
Several 1-alkyl-2-methylazetidin-3-ones were prepared in good yield by the hydride-induced cyclization of the corresponding beta-bromo-alpha,alpha-dimethoxyketimines, the resulting 3,3-dimethoxyazetidines being hydrolyzed by acid. Imination of these 1,2-disubstituted azetidin-3-ones, followed by alkylation under kinetic control conditions resulted in regioisomeric mixtures of 2,4- and 2,2-dialkylated compounds. Analytical samples of the major 2,4-disubstituted derivatives were obtained after extensive chromatographic separation. The cis stereochemistry of the major 2,4-dialkylated isomer was demonstrated on the basis of NMR data. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
The terminal bromomethoxydiene (BMD) moiety of the polyhydroxylatedchain present in phormidolides and oscillariolides has been synthesized for first time. Several strategies for the stereoselective synthesis of the 4‐bromo‐3‐methoxybut‐3‐en‐2‐ones are described. Furthermore, a preliminary study to successfully introduce the BMD within the polyol chain and the fatty acid allowed us to corroborate the
