Stereochemistry of the iodocarbonatation of cis- and trans-3-methyl-4-pentene-1,2-diols: the unusual formation of several anti iodo carbonates
摘要:
A study on the stereoselective preparation of a series of 3-methyl-4,5-epoxy alcohols as an entry to polypropionates was undertaken. Initially, the opening of cis and trans TIPS-protected 2,3-epoxy butanols by propynyldiethylalane showed an excellent regioselectivity favoring the monoprotected 1,2-diol products. The resulting propargylic alcohols were stereoselectively reduced to the cis and trans 1-[(triisopropylsilyl)oxy]-3-methyl-4-hexen-2-ols. Iodocarbonatation of these four isomeric homoallylic alcohols was carried out and the stereochemistry of the intermediate iodo carbonates established. Interestingly, a complete anti selectivity (>20:1 anti:syn) was observed when both the syn 3-methyl and cis double-bond geometry were present (3b, 10, and 20). The anti relative configuration for all of the iodo carbonates was established by NMR, and that of 5b was confirmed by X-ray crystallography. This study demonstrated that the relative stereochemistry of the hydroxyl and C(3) methyl groups in combination with the cis or trans geometry of the alkene exerts a significant effect on the stereochemical outcome of the iodocarbonatation reaction. Methanolysis of the iodo carbonates produced the desired 3-methyl-4,5-epoxy alcohols. The application of this chemistry to the reiterative synthesis of polypropionates was carried out with epoxy alcohol 4a (anti isomer), producing a new homologated epoxy alcohol, 22, with six contiguous stereocenters in a highly stereoselective manner.

An efficient nonaldol convergent synthesis of the C14–C25 polyketide fragment of bafilomycin A1 was completed in 16% overall yield and 8 steps in its longest linear sequence. This synthesis highlights the formation of the key fragments using a three-step sequence of epoxide cleavage, alkyne reduction, and epoxidation developed in our laboratory; starting from suitably protected enantiomeric epoxides

The VO(acac)(2) catalyzed epoxidation of hindered homoallylic alcohols was conducted under microwave irradiation in an open vessel using toluene as solvent. The reaction time for the epoxidation of a series of cis- and trans-2-methyl-3-alkenols was dramatically reduced from 6 to 10 days to less than 3 h when compared to conventional heating. The cis alkenols exhibited very high diastereoselectivity. The more elaborated polypropionate precursors 12, 14 and 16 were epoxidized in good yield and excellent diastereoselectivities using the microwave-assisted epoxidation technique described here, which is safe and suitable for multi-gram scales.
