Mixed Dialkylaluminum Chlorides and Mixed Trimethylorganoaluminates in Chemoselective 1,4 Addition Reactions to Alkylidene Malonic Acid Diethyl Ester

Mixed alkyl-methyl- and aryl-methylorganoaluminum chlorides 6 were formed by reaction of methylaluminum dichloride with organolithium or Grignard compounds and used for chemoselective 1,4 addition of higher alkyl, aryl, alkenyl and alkinyl groups to alkylidine malonic esters 1 and 2. As an alternative, mixed trimethylorganoaluminates 7 can also be applied for these Michael addition reactions. For conjugate addition of alkenyl groups to alkylidene malonates 1 and 2, alkenyl diisopropylalanes 10 obtained from alkynes and diisopropylaluminum hydride proved the most efficient reagents. Using these novel mixed organoaluminum compounds, β-branched malonic (carboxylic) acid derivatives 3c, 8, 9 an…

Stereoselective Conjugate Addition of Mixed Organoaluminum Reagents to ?,?-Unsaturated N-Acyloxazolidinones Derived from Carbohydrates.

The stereoselective synthesis of β-branched carboxylic acid derivatives was accomplished by conjugate addition of mixed organoaluminum reagents to chiral α,β-unsaturated N-acyloxazolidinones. Mixed organoaluminum reagentswere generated in situ by transmetalation of Grignard or organolithium compounds with methylaluminum dichloride. Efficient stereocontrol was achieved using different bicyclic glycosamine-derived oxazolidinones, yielding alternatively (R)- or (S)-configured β-branched carboxylic acid derivatives.
