MNBA-Mediated β-Lactone Formation: Mechanistic Studies and Application for the Asymmetric Total Synthesis of Tetrahydrolipstatin
摘要:
Various beta-lactones were prepared from beta-hydroxycarboxylic acids by intramolecular dehydration condensation using MNBA, an effective coupling reagent, along with a nucleophilic catalyst. The transition state that provides the desired 4-membered ring model system is disclosed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and the structural features of the transition form are discussed. This method was successfully applied to the asymmetric total synthesis of tetrahydrolipstatin (THL), an antiobestic drug used in clinical treatment to inhibit the activity of pancreatic lipase.

Highly diastereoselective aldol reactions of α-bromo ketones with several aldehydes were successfully carried out by using a combination of titanium(II) chloride and copper or sodium iodide in dichloromethane-pivalonitrile at low temperature. Similarly, Reformatskyreactions of α-bromo thioester with aliphatic aldehydes proceeded to afford β-hydroxy thioesters in good yields under mild conditions.
通过在低温下在二氯甲烷-新戊腈中使用氯化钛 (II) 和碘化铜或碘化钠的组合,成功地进行了 α-溴酮与几种醛的高度非对映选择性羟醛反应。类似地,α-溴硫酯与脂肪醛的 Reformatsky 反应在温和条件下以良好的产率得到 β-羟基硫酯。
