Preparation of Cyclic .ALPHA.-Hydroxy Ketones from .DELTA.- and .EPSILON.-Keto Acids Induced by the Generation of a Novel Acyl Anion Equivalent from the Carboxyl Group.
An improved method for the transformation of keto acids into cyclic α-hydroxy ketones, induced by the electrochemical generation of a novel acyl anion equivalent from the carboxy group, has been developed. Both five- and six-membered rings were constructed by constant-current electrolysis of δ- and ε-keto acids in the presence of Bu3P using an undivided cell equipped with a graphite anode and a Pt cathode. Attempts to prepare four- and seven-membered ring carbocycles were unsuccessful. The electrochemical reaction was found to be highly stereoselective when cyclization took place onto cyclopentanone and substituted cyclohexanone rings. Stereochemical aspects of the formation of bicyclic products, especially those having a bicyclo[4.3.0]skeleton, are discussed.
Intramolecularacylation with lactones in polyphosphoric acid has been extended to γ- and δ-lactones with angular methyls. It is further shown that hydroxy acids can conveniently replace the corresponding lactones in such reactions. The reaction has also been applied to simple esters.

and 4) with cis,cis-, cis,trans- and trans,trans-configuration are described. The structure of the lactone side product (±)-5 was elucidated by NMR spectroscopy. Resolution of the trans,trans-diol (±)-4 was accomplished via the diastereomeric (1S,4R)-camphanoates (−)-6 and (+)-7 to give (−)-4 and (+)-4. Oxidation of (−)-4 by the method of Swern yielded the optically active dione (−)-1. An X-ray crystal

A highly diastereoselective, nucleophile-promoted bis-cyclization process, employing readily available and tractable keto acid substrates, is described. This methodology provides concise access to bicyclic- and tricyclic-beta-lactones bearing tertiary carbinol centers and quaternary carbons, greatly extending the scope of previous routes to bicyclic-beta-lactones from aldehyde acid substrates. The utility of the method was demonstrated by application to an enantioselective synthesis of (+)-dihydroplakevulin A. This and related processes may be revealing a subtle interplay between [2+2] cycloaddition and nucleophile-catalyzed aldol lactonization (NCAL) reaction manifolds.
