- METHODS OF PREPARING a,?-UNSATURATED OR a-HALO KETONES AND ALDEHYDES
-
Copper(II) bromide mediated oxidation of acylated enol and use of the reaction in the synthesis of α,β-unsaturated or α-bromo ketones or aldehydes are disclosed. The method provides an efficient and practical process for manufacturing dehydrohedione (DHH) and many other versatile α,β-unsaturated or α-bromo ketones or aldehydes in large scales to avoid using precious metal compounds.

- α,β-Unsaturated ketones via copper(II) bromide mediated oxidation
-
A protocol for effecting a rapid Saegusa-type oxidation of enol acetates is reported. This new method relies on the in situ elimination of an α-bromo intermediate to generate α,β-unsaturated ketones using copper(II) bromide. The methodology developed was applied to a range of substrates including a cyclohexanone, which could be directly converted to the corresponding phenol derivative. A catalytic system in which a non-masked ketone was successfully oxidised using substoichiometric CuBr2 was also developed as a proof of principle.

A method is provided for making an enantiomerically pure of the formula: in which R and R′ represent C1?C10 alkyl, C2?C10 alkenyl or C3?C10 cycloalkyl and the wedges signify (S)- or (R)-stereochemistry, the substituents in compound (II) being trans. Conjugate addition is carried out between an organometallic nucleophile that provides a group R as defined above and (R)-4-acetoxycyclopent-2-en-1-one, (S)-4-acetoxycyclopent-2-en-1-one or a similar compound in which acetoxy is replaced by another leaving group to give, e.g. in the case of the acetoxy compound, a trans 3,4-disubstituted addition product of formula III or IV; The acetyl group is eliminated from the addition product to give an (R)- or (S)-4-alkyl or 4-alkenyl cyclopent-2-en-1-one the compound of formula is then to be hydrogenated to give a cyclopentanone of formula (I) or conjugate addition of a second organometallic nucleophile that provides a group R′ as defined above to the compound of the above formula may be carried out to give a trans 3,4-disubstituted addition product of formula (II). One of the above compounds may be converted e.g. via an intermediate (XV)-(XVIII) (in which the substituents R and R′ and the wedges have the meanings indicated above) to a gabapentin analogue of one of the formulae shown below: in which the substituents R and R′ and the wedges also have the meanings indicated above.

- Strictly regiocontrolled α-monosubstitution of cyclic carbonyl compounds with alkynyl and alkyl groups via Pd-catalyzed coupling of cyclic α-iodoenones with organozincs
-
The conditions for the Pd-catalyzed cross coupling of cyclic α-iodoenones, such as 2-iodo-2-cyclohexenone, with alkynylzincs have been optimized. The use of tris(o-furyl)phosphine (TFP) as a ligand and DMF as a solvent has led to the formation of α-alkynylenones in excellent yields. This optimized procedure has been applied to the synthesis of (±)-harveynone and (±)-tricholomenyn A in high yields. Investigation of related α-alkylation reactions using alkylzincs has revealed the following. Methylzinc and primary alkylzinc derivatives readily undergo Pd-catalyzed cross coupling with α-iodoenones. Although (s-Bu)2Zn also undergoes Pd-catalyzed cross coupling, only the n-Bu-substituted products were obtained, α-Benzylation and α-homobenzylation can proceed satisfactorily, whereas allylzinc and propargylzinc derivatives undergo only addition to the carbonyl group. Although some promising results have been obtained in α-homoallylation and α-homopropargylation, these reactions need to be further improved. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

- Total synthesis with a chirogenic opening move demonstrated on steroids with estrane or 18a-homoestrane skeleton
-
A concept of first choice for the synthesis of the title compounds had been proposed by Dane in the late 1930s. It was soon turned down, because the opening move - a chirogenic Diels-Alder reaction - did not work. With Lewis acids as mediators, however, a successful start has been achieved now. With Ti complexes of chelating ligands (Seebach's TADDOLs (= α,α,α',α'-tetraaryl-1,3-dioxolane-4,5-dimethanols)), enantioselective formation of the desired adducts does occur. Efficient total syntheses of 2 and 3a have been accomplished.
