Directed Diastereoselectivity in the Asymmetric Claisen/Metathesis Reaction Sequence
摘要:
The Claisen/metathesis sequence is a versatile synthetic tool for the synthesis of quaternary hydroxy and amino acid carbocycles. By correctly choosing both the configuration of the allylic alcohol and the double bond geometry, specific access to any one of four possible stereoisomers is possible in good yield and excellent diastereoselectivity. The enantiomerically pure allylic alcohols are easily obtained by addition of terminal alkynes to aldehydes. Controlled reduction of the triple bond then gives the desired double bond geometry.
Highly enantioselective sequential Claisen–Ireland/metathesis: synthesis of cycloalkenes bearing two contiguous highly functionalized asymmetric centres
摘要:
A sequence of two reactions, consisting of a highly stereoselective silylated ketene acetal Claisen-Ireland rearrangement followed by a ring closing metathesis, gave a stereocontrolled access to various carbocycles. (C) 2005 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
