Synthesis of Spirovetivane Sesquiterpenes from Santonin. Synthesis of (+)-Anhydro-?-rotunol and All Diastereomers of 6,11-Spirovetivadiene.

2005

The synthesis of the spirovetivane sesquiterpenes (+)-anhydro-beta-rotunol and all the diastereomers of 6,11-spirovetivadiene in enantiomerically pure form has been achieved starting from santonin. The key step is the silicon-guided acid-promoted rearrangement of a 1-trimethylsilyl-4,5-epoxyeudesmane prepared from santonin in several steps involving lactone reductive opening, conjugate addition of TMSLi-CuCN, deoxygenation of a carbonyl group, and epoxidation. Rearrangement of the epoxide gave a spiro[4,5]decanediol which was used as a synthetic intermediate. From this compound, (+)-anhydro-beta-rotunol was prepared after elimination of the primary hydroxyl group in the side chain, followed…

Isolation of enantiomerically pure organometallic palladium compounds: synthesis of the triangles prepared from enantiopure [cis-Pd2(C6H4PPh2)2(NCCH3…

Reaction of the racemic [Pd(C(6)H(4)PPh(2))Br](4) () with the silver salt of 1R-(1alpha,2beta,3alpha)]-3-methyl-2-(nitromethyl)-5-oxocyclopentaneacetate, (R)-AgO(2)CR*, results in the formation of a mixture of diastereoisomers (RRR)- and (SRR)- of the formula Pd(2)(C(6)H(4)PPh(2))(2)(O(2)CR*)(2) that were separated by standard chromatographic methods. Each diastereoisomer was readily converted into the tetrametallic stereoisomers (SS)- and (RR)-, of the formula [Pd(C(6)H(4)PPh(2))Br](4) that were isolated and characterized by X-ray crystallography. The R enantiomer of the solvated cationic species [cis-Pd(2)(C(6)H(4)PPh(2))(2)(NCCH(3))(4)](2+), obtained from (RR)-, was reacted with ammonium…

Chiral Lanthanocene Derivatives Containing Two Linked Amido−Cyclopentadienyl Ligands:  Heterobimetallic Structure and Lactone Polymerization Activity

1997

Reaction of 2 equiv of dilithium amido−cyclopentadienide Li2(C5R4SiMe2NCH2CH2X) (C5R4 = C5Me4, C5H3tBu; X = OMe, NMe2) with anhydrous LnCl3 (Ln = Y, Lu) gave C2-symmetric complexes of the type Li[Ln(η5:η1-C5R4SiMe2NCH2CH2X)2] containing a heterobimetallic core. The molecular structure of Li[Y(η5:η1-C5Me4SiMe2NCH2CH2OMe)2] was determined by single-crystal X-ray structural analysis, which showed it to exhibit both a pseudotetrahedral yttrium as well as a tetrahedral lithium center. In accordance with a formal 20-electron configuration at the rare earth metal center Ln, the amido-nitrogen atoms are shown to be pyramidalized. In the case of Li[Y(η5:η1-C5H3tBuSiMe2NCH2CH2X)2], mixtures of the tw…

Capping α-Cyclodextrin with Cyclotriveratrylene by Triple Disulfide-Bridge Formation

2013

Disulfide-bond formation is an expeditious coupling reaction to make macropolycyclic symmetrical receptors. It is used here for the preparation of unsymmetrical cavitands based on α-cyclodextrin (α-CDX) and cyclotriveratrylene (CTV) analogues. Accordingly, diastereomeric hemicryptophanes 2a and 2b were obtained in 11 % isolated yield by the iodine oxidation of a 1:1 mixture of racemic cyclotrithiophenolene (3) and the C3-symmetric trithiol derivative of permethylated α-cyclodextrin (PM α-CDX) 4. Remarkably, the target hemicryptophanes were obtained in a 5:3 diastereomeric ratio. The reaction produced mainly (34 %) a singly disulfide-bridged PM α-CDX dimer 7, however no traces of triply disu…

Immobilized Chiral ortho-Metalated Dirhodium(II) Compounds as Catalysts in the Asymmetric Cyclopropanation of Styrene with Ethyl Diazoacetate

2007

Immobilization of ortho-metalated dirhodium(II) compounds has been achieved by a carboxylate interchange reaction between (M)-Rh2(l-protos)2[(p-XC6H3)P(p-XC6H4)2]2 diastereoisomers and carboxyethylpolystyrene polymer (PS-C6H4(CH2)2CO2H). The immobilized chiral catalysts have been tested in the standard reaction of asymmetric cyclopropanation of styrene with ethyl diazoacetate, giving higher yields than homogeneous chiral trifluoroacetate derivatives, but their diastereo- and enantioselectivities were lower. Some of the immobilized catalysts have proved to be very robust. The catalytic behavior of (M)-Rh2(O2C(CH2)2C6H5)2[(p-XC6H3)P(p-XC6H5)2]2 compounds has been studied as a model for the im…

Stereoselective Total Synthesis of the Diastereomeric Tricyclic Alkaloids Tetraponerine-7 and Tetraponerine-8 Using O-Pivalo­ylated d-Arabinopyranosy…

2015

Based on a diastereoselective domino Mannich–Michael reaction cascade of 2- N -[( S )-3-{(benzyloxycarbonyl)[4-( tert -butyldiphenylsiloxy)butyl]amino}octylidene]-2,3,4-tri- O -pivaloyl-α- d -arabinopyranosylamine with the Danishefsky diene, the major component of the neurotoxic venom of the New Guinean ant Tetraponera punctulata , tetraponerine-8, and its diastereomer tetraponerine-7 were synthesized in pure form. While the Mannich reaction of the arabinosyl imine of the required ( S )-configured β-aminoaldehyde gave the 2-substituted piperidinone precursor of tetraponerine-8 with excellent diastereoselectivity, the analogous Mannich reaction of the ( R )-configured β-aminoaldehyde afforde…

Asymmetrische Hetero-Diels-Alder-Reaktionen in wäßriger Lösung unter Verwendung von Aminosäureestern als chiralen Auxiliaren

1989

(R)- und (S)-Aminosaure-methylester-hydrochloride bilden mit Formaldehyd in THF/Wasser-Gemischen Iminium-Ionen, die als elektronenarme Dienophile mit Cyclopentadien, 1,3-Cyclohexadien und Alkyl-substituierten Butadienen bereits bei 0°C Hetero-Diels-Alder-Reaktionen eingehen. Die Cycloaddukte werden mit hohen Ausbeuten im Multigrammasstab und mit Diastereomerenverhaltnissen (bis zu 93:7) gebildet, die mit anderen chiralen Aminen bisher nicht erreicht werden konnten. Mit Hilfe von NOE-Experimenten werden die absoluten Konfigurationen der Hauptdiastereomeren zugeordnet. Aus den Phenylglycin- und den Serin-Derivaten konnen die chiralen Hilfsgruppen mittels hydrogenolytischer Methoden bzw. unter…

Synthesis of Optically Active N-(4-Hydroxynon-2-enyl)pyrrolidines: Key Building Blocks in the Total Synthesis of Streptomyces coelicolor Butanolide 5…

2021

AbstractStarting from 5-methylhexanal and (S)-configured N-propargylprolinol ethers, coupling delivered N-(4-hydroxynon-2-ynyl)prolinol derivatives as mixtures of C4 diastereomers. Resolution of the epimers succeeded after introduction of an (R)-mandelic ester derivative and subsequent HPLC separation. Alternatively, suitable oxidation gave the corresponding alkynyl ketone. Midland reagent controlled diastereoselective reduction afforded a defined configured propargyl alcohol with high selectivity. LiAlH4 reduction and Mosher analyses of the allyl alcohols enabled structure elucidation. The suitably protected products are used as key intermediates in enantioselective Streptomyces γ-butyrola…

Tandem asymmetric Michael reaction-intramolecular Michael addition. An easy entry to chiral fluorinated 1,4-dihydropyridines.

2010

A novel one-pot tandem asymmetric Hantzsch-type process has been employed to generate fluorinated 1,4-dihydropyridines (1,4-DHPs) as single diastereoisomers. It involves the condensation of (R)-(+)-allyl p-tolyl sulfoxide, fluorinated nitriles, and alkyl propiolates, giving access to a new family of enantiomerically pure fluorine-containing 1,4-DHPs.
