Diastereoselective Aldol Reaction of Zincated 3-Chloro-3-methyl-1-azaallylic Anions as Key Step in the Synthesis of 1,2,3,4-Tetrasubstituted 3-Chloroazetidines
摘要:
Zincated 3-chloro-3-methyl-1-azaallylic anions undergo a stereoselective aldol addition across aromatic aldehydes and subsequent mesylation to produce syn alpha-chloro-beta-mesyloxyketimines, which were isolated in 80-84% yield and high diastereomeric excess (dr > 97/3) after purification via flash chromatography. The syn alpha-chloro-beta-mesyloxyketimines were further stereoselectively reduced to give stereochemically defined 3-aminopropyl mesylates, which were cyclized to 1,2,3,4-tetrasubstituted 3-chloroazetidines containing three contiguous stereogenic centers. DFT calculations on the key aldol addition revealed the presence of a highly ordered bimetallic six-membered twist-boat-like transition state structure with a tetra-coordinated metal cyclic structure. DFT calculations revealed that chelation of both zinc and lithium cations in the transition state structure leads to the experimentally observed high syn diastereoselectivity of aldol reactions.

Long live the Z isomer! The solvation and isomerization properties of lithiated 3‐chloro‐1‐azaallylic anions in tetrahydrofuran are revealed. Extensive and convincing evidence is obtained from state‐of‐the‐art first‐principle molecular dynamics and metadynamics simulations in an explicit periodic solvent model, together with detailed NMRexperiments.
