RESUMO
The solution structures of mixed aggregates derived from lithium alkoxides and lithium acetylides were investigated as part of a program to develop practical syntheses of quinazolinone-based nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. Low-temperature (6)Li, (13)C, and (15)N NMR spectroscopies reveal that mixtures of lithium cyclopropylacetylide (RCCLi), a (+)-carene-derived amino alkoxide (ROLi), and lithium hexamethyldisilazide (LiHMDS) in THF/pentane afford a (RCCLi)(3)(ROLi) mixed tetramer, a C(2)-symmetric and asymmetric (RCCLi)(2)(ROLi)(2) mixed tetramer, and a C(3)-symmetric (RCCLi)(ROLi)(3) mixed tetramer. Analogous mixtures of RCCLi/ROLi in Et(2)O and Me(2)NEt also provide 3:1, 2:2, and 1:3 mixed tetramers. The stereochemistry of aggregation is highly sensitive to the medium. The C(2)-symmetric (RCCLi)(2)(ROLi)(2) mixed tetramer is formed in Et(2)O, whereas the asymmetric isomer is formed in Me(2)NEt. LiHMDS in THF is shown to be an efficient proton scavenger without forming LiHMDS-RCCLi or LiHMDS-ROLi mixed aggregates. LiHMDS-RCCLi mixtures form mixed aggregates in Me(2)NEt.

The beta-amino alcohol 4 beta-morpholinocaran-3 alpha-ol is prepared by addition of morpholine to alpha-3,4-epoxycarane utilizing anhydrous magnesium bromide as Lewis acid promoter. The enantiopure amino alcohol is uniquely effective as a chiral moderator for the addition of lithium cyclopropylacetylide to an unprotected N-acylketimine. This reaction provides an efficient route to the second generation NNRTI drug candidate DPC 963.

Enantioselective catalysts produce organic compounds in enantiomerically enriched form. They are highly efficient tools for the synthesis of biologically active materials, such as pharmaceuticals and crop-protection chemicals, in which enantiomeric purity can be critical. The design of chiral ligands is the key to developing new enantioselective catalysts. Three unusual families of ligands have been used to develop practical technology for enantioselective hydrocyanation of olefins, ring-opening of epoxides, and hydrogenation of various compounds.
