Highly Diastereoselective Intermolecular β-Addition of Alkyl Radicals to Chiral 2-(Arylsulfinyl)-2-cycloalkenones
摘要:
The diastereoselectivity of intermolecular beta-addition of alkyl radicals to 2-(arylsulfinyl)-acycloalkenones depends largely upon the structure of the arylsulfinyl group. The reaction of a-cyclopentenones or 2-cyclohexenones having a sterically bulky arylsulfinyl group such as (3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-methoxyphenyl)-sulfinyl, (2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl)sulfinyl or (2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-sulfinyl group gives 3-alkyl-2-(arylsulfinyl)-1-cyclopentanones or 3-alkyl-2-(arylsulfinyl)-1-cyclohexanones in excellent yields and with high diastereoselectivity. Both the X-ray crystallographic analysis and the NOE experiment in the H-1 NMR spectrum of (S)-2-[(2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl)-sulfinyl]- and (S)-2-[(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)sulfinyl]-2-cyclopentenone reveal an effective shielding of one of the olefin faces at the beta-position by o-isopropyl and o-methyl groups. The addition of bidentate Lewis acids reverses the stereoselection through chelating the intermediates to give the addition products with high diastereoselectivity.

A new family of benzene-based chiral heterodisulfoxide ligands L1-L5 was synthesized in a single step. These disulfoxide ligands were applied in the rhodium-catalyzedasymmetric1,4-addition of arylboronic acids to chromenones. The addition of diverse arylboronic acids to chromenones proceeds smoothly in up to 70% yield with up to 95% ee.
An improvedprocedure of the Sharpless method for the preparation of chiral sulfinates by triphenylphosphine is described. A mixture of sulfonyl chlorides and diacetone-d-glucose or l-menthol in the presence of triethylamine was treated with triphenylphosphine in CH2Cl2 at 0°C to give the sulfinates in good yields.
