- A cross metathesis approach to the synthesis of the C11-C23 fragment of (-)-16-normethyldictyostatin
-
The synthesis of the C11-C23 fragment 2 of (-)-16-normethyldictyostatin has been achieved by cross metathesis between two olefinic fragments 4 and 5 followed by a reduction of the double bond at C16-C17. Both the olefinic fragments are easily synthesized

- Stereoselection at the Steady State in Radical Cyclizations of Acyclic Systems Containing One Radical Acceptor and Two Precursors in a 1,5- Relationship under Pseudo-First-Order Conditions
-
The first example of a successive kinetic resolution of acyclic diastereomeric radical intermediates in a 1,5-relationship under pseudo-first-order conditions is reported. A mechanistic model involves nonselective generation of the radical intermediates followed by different partitioning of these between two different chemical pathways. The "2,5-cis" selectivity in the radical cyclization step arises from transition geometries with the substituents aligned in pseudoequatorial positions.

- Stereocontrol in organic synthesis using silicon-containing compounds. Studies directed towards the synthesis of ebelactone A
-
Several approaches to the synthesis of ebelactone A 2 are described, culminating in the synthesis of the benzenesulfonate of 2-epi-ebelactone A 161. All the approaches were based on three fragments A, B and C, originally defined in general terms in Scheme 1, but eventually used as the aldehyde 72, the allenylsilane 3 and the aldehyde 139, respectively. They were joined, first B with C, and then B+C with A. In the main routes to fragments A and C, the relative stereochemistry was controlled by highly stereoselective enolate methylations 66 → 67, 68 → 69, and 135 → 136, in each case anti to an adjacent silyl group, and by a highly stereoselective hydroboration of an allylsilane 137 → 138, also anti to the silyl group. The hydroxyl groups destined to be on C-3 and C-11 were unmasked by silyl-to-hydroxy conversions 69 → 70 and 138 → 139 with retention of configuration. The stereochemistry created in the coupling of fragment B to C was controlled by the stereospecifically anti SE2′ reaction between the enantiomerically enriched allenylsilane 3 and the aldehyde 139. The double bond geometry was controlled by syn stereospecific silylcupration 148 → 151, and preserved by iododesilylation 151 → 152 of the vinylsilane with retention of configuration, and Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi coupling with the aldehyde 72 gave the whole carbon skeleton 153 of ebelactone A with the correct relative configuration, all of which had been controlled by organosilicon chemistry. In the steps to remove the superfluous allylic hydroxyl, an intermediate allyllithium species 156 abstracted the proton on C-2, and its reprotonation inverted the configuration at that atom. Other routes to the fragments A and C were also explored, both successful and unsuccessful, both silicon-based and conventional, and a number of unexpected side reactions were investigated.

- Total synthesis of 10-deoxymethynolide, the aglycon of the macrolide antibiotic 10-deoxymethymycin
-
A short efficient total synthesis of 10-deoxymethynolide (2c), the aglycon of 10-deoxymethymycin (1c), has been accomplished in 16 steps and 12% overall yield from (S)-3-O-p-toluenesulfonyl-3-hydroxy-2-methylpropanal (15c). The synthesis features an expeditious preparation of (+)-5a, a synthetic equivalent of the Prelog-Djerassi lactonic acid, and the construction of a 12-membered lactone through an intramolecular Nozaki- Hiyama-Kishi coupling reaction.

- TiCl4-Mediated Reactions of the Silyl Ketene Acetals Derived from N-Methylephedrine Esters: An Asymmetric Variant of the Mukaiyama Reaction
-
The TiCl4-mediated reaction between silyl ketene acetals 2 and benzaldehyde was chosen as a model for mechanistic studies.The influence of the silyl ketene acetal double-bond geometry, the C-1/C-2 relative configuration of N-methylephedrine, and different modes of addition and molar ratios of reagents on the stereochemical outcome of the reaction was investigated.On the basis of these results and of literature data, an octahedral, six-coordinate titanium complex was proposed as the transition-structure model.This model helps to rationalize some of the experimental data (e.g., the anti-syn ratios with aldehydes and imines).The TiCl4-mediated additions of the E silyl ketene acetal derived from (1R,2S)-N-methylephedrine propionate 1 (R=Me) to racemic 3-(benzyloxy)-2-methylpropionaldehyde (11) (kinetic resolution), (+)-(S)-11 (mismatched pair), and (-)-(R)-11 (matched pair) were studied.In the matched pair case three contiguous stereocenters were established with complete selectivity.The Mukaiyama-Michael additions of 1 (R = Me) to vinyl ketones were also studied.By this route α-methyl-δ-keto esters were obtained in 72-75 percent ee.

- STEREOSELECTIVE ALDOL CONDENSATIONS VIA ALKENYLOXY DIALKYOXYBORANES: SYNTHETIC APPLICATIONS USING THIOESTERS.

A detailed investigation of the enolization of phenyl thiopropionate with ethylenechloroboronate (ECB) and diisopropylethylamine (DPEA) and the subsequent aldol condensations of these enolates was conducted.Alkenyloxy dialkoxyboranes derived from thioesters were found to be stereoconvergent: both Z and E enolates give syn aldol condensation products.The thioester additions to chiral aldehydes were studied.Internal selectivity (syn) was usually very high, while the relative stereoselectivity ranged from poor to good, depending on the specific aldehyde used.The aldol products were transformed to known compounds for correlation.
