Synthesis of α,β-Unsaturated 4,5-Disubstituted γ-Lactones via Ring-Closing Metathesis Catalyzed by the First-Generation Grubbs' Catalyst
摘要:
4-Methyl-5-alkyl-2(5H)-furanones have been prepared by ruthenium-catalyzed ring-closing metathesis of the suitable methallyl acrylates. Despite the electron deficiency of the conjugated double bond and of the gem-disubstitution of the allylic alkene moiety in the starting acrylates, the first-generation Grubbs' catalyst I proved to be an effective promoter for the ring closure, affording the expected butenolides in good to high yields.
Various 2(5H)-furanone and furan derivatives were synthesized from 3-(phenylthio)propenal by a one-pot process via carbonyl addition of a range of organometallic reagents and subsequent sulfide-directed α-lithiatin followed by electrophilic trapping. This methodology was successfuly applied to the syntheses of quercus lactone and 2, 5-diarylfuran natural products.

procedure for the efficientsynthesis of β-halobutenolides was developed. The Pd(0)-catalyzed coupling reactions of β-halobutenolides with terminalalkynes or organozinc reagents, i.e., 1-alkenyl, aryl, and alkyl zinc reagents, to afford β-substituted butenolides were carefully studied. Using the coupling protocol of γ-(n-butyl)-β-iodobutenolide with methylzinc halide, we performed an efficient formal synthesis

The racemic cis- and trans-5-butyltetrahydro-4-methylfuran-2-ones ( = whisky lactones) and their higher homologues tetrahydro-4-methyl-5-pentylfuran-2-ones ( = cognac lactones) have been prepared in 2–3 steps from 2-(trimethylsiloxy)furan. Regioselective alkylation of the latter afforded the 5-butyl- and 5-pentylfuran-2(5H)-ones which served as precursors for the stereocontrolled construction of either
