ABSTRACT
[reaction: see text] A series of novel functionalized achiral and chiral allylboronates have been synthesized via the nucleophilic addition of boronates on allyl acetates derived via vinylalumination or Baylis-Hillman reaction of aldehydes. These reagents, upon allylboration with aldehydes, furnish beta-substituted-alpha-methylene-gamma-butyrolactones stereoselectively.
ABSTRACT
[reaction: see text] Chiral beta-syn-alkoxyhomoallylic alcohols derived from alkoxyallylboration of aldehydes upon oxidation provided the corresponding chiral ketones. Chelation-controlled nucleophilic addition to these ketones occurred in a highly stereoselective manner to afford anti-homoallylic tertiary alcohols. This methodology has been applied for the synthesis of the C(1)-C(11) subunit of C(8)-epi-fostriecin.

A new, general, and practical procedure for the asymmetric synthesis of 4-alkylidenyl glutamic acid derivatives via a catalytic enantioselective tandem conjugate addition-elimination on allylic acetates under chiral phase-transfer conditions is reported. A variety of structural types of allylic acetates have been reacted with the benzophenone imine of glycine tert-butyl ester to give the products in good to excellent yields and enantioselectivities (63-92% yield, 80-97% ee, 8 cases).

A modified hydroalumination protocol for the preparation of [alpha-(ethoxycarbonyl)vinyl]diisobutylaluminum and its beta-methyl or -phenyl analogues was developed. These vinylaluminum reagents react with aldehydes and ketones to provide the corresponding functionalized allyl alcohols in good to excellent yields. Perfluoroalkyl and -aryl carbonyl compounds, alpha-keto esters, alpha-acyl cyanides, and alpha-acetylenic ketones provide the corresponding alpha-hydroxyalkenes in high yields. The allyl alcohol product ratios from the vinylalumination of unsymmetrical alpha-diketones with [alpha-(ethoxycarbonyl)vinyl]diisobutylaluminum and its beta-methyl or -phenyl analogues depend on the steric and electronic environments of the ketones as well as the reagents. The products from the vinylalumination of alpha-bromoaldehydes and -ketones were cyclized with K2CO3 or KF under nonaqueous conditions to provide functionalized vinylepoxides in high yields. Vinylaluminations of keto-protected pyruvaldehyde provided the products, which were converted to alpha-alkylidene-beta-hydroxy-gamma-lactones.
