- Chemoselective Oxidation of Equatorial Alcohols with N-Ligated λ3-Iodanes
-
The site-selective and chemoselective functionalization of alcohols in complex polyols remains a formidable synthetic challenge. Whereas significant advancements have been made in selective derivatization at the oxygen center, chemoselective oxidation to the corresponding carbonyls is less developed. In cyclic systems, whereas the selective oxidation of axial alcohols is well known, a complementary equatorial selective process has not yet been reported. Herein we report the utility of nitrogen-ligated (bis)cationic λ3-iodanes (N-HVIs) for alcohol oxidation and their unprecedented levels of selectivity for the oxidation of equatorial over axial alcohols. The conditions are mild, and the simple pyridine-ligated reagent (Py-HVI) is readily synthesized from commercial PhI(OAc)2 and can be either isolated or generated in situ. Conformational selectivity is demonstrated in both flexible 1,2-substituted cyclohexanols and rigid polyol scaffolds, providing chemists with a novel tool for chemoselective oxidation.

- Regiodivergent Remote Arylation of Cycloalkanols to Dysideanone′s Fused Carbotetracycles and Its Bridged Isomers
-
Regiodivergent γ and γ′ arylations across an all-carbon quaternary center of cycloalkanols to access enantioenriched fused and bridged carbotetracycles are reported. The conformation of the carbocation guided either sequential stereospecific β-C-Me/γ-C?H-shifts or β-C-Me/γ′-C?H-shifts, providing fused carbotetracyclic analogs of dysideanone or bridged tetracycles, respectively. The reaction is highly stereoselective in building three contiguous stereocenters, where one, two, or three could be all-carbon quaternary centers. Interestingly, mechanistic studies revealed a crucial role of a methyl substituent in controlling regioselectivity.

Reduction of 9-methyl-trans-decalin-1,8-dione (1) with baker's yeast affords (8S,9R,10R)-8-hydroxy-9-methyl-trans-1-decalone (8) as the major product in 47percent yield.Its (8S,9S,10S)-isomer (9, 14percent yield) and (1S,8S)-9-methyl-trans-1,8-diol (10, 7percent yield) are obtained as minor products.Baker's yeast cannot reduce 9-methyl-cis-decalin-1,8-dione (2).

We record here a full account of the first total synthesis of (-)-paspaline (1), the simplest member of a rapidly growing class of architecturally complex diterpene indole alkaloids, many of which possess potent tremorgenic activity.In terms of sequential annulation, the strategy involves the following operations: DE -> CDE -> CDEF -> ABCDEF.Proceeding in 23 steps from Wieland-Miescher ketone, the synthesis afforded (-)-paspaline (1) in high enantiomeric purity.

- α-ALKYLATION AND α-ALKYLIDENATION OF CARBONYL COMPOUNDS BY O-SILYLATED ENOLATE PHENYLTHIOALKYLATION
-
For many reactions next to a carbonyl group, the use of O-silylated enolate chemistry offers improvements in yield and selectivity over the corresponding reactions of Group I metal enolates.In the case of α-alkylation of carbonyl compounds, Lewis acid (TiCl4 or ZnBr2) promoted phenylthioalkylation of O-silylated enolates 3 by α-chlorosulphides 4 (R3=H, Me, Prn, Pri, Bui, and Me3Si), followed by reductive sulphur removal by Raney nickel, 5->6, is found to be a reliable method for this synthetically important C-C bond forming step.An alternative sulphur elimination pathway via the sulphoxide, 5->7, allows the regio- and stereocontrolled α-alkylidenation of carbonyl compounds.The phenylthioalkylation reaction is applicable to ketones, aldehydes, esters, and lactones.

- Proton Catalyzed Water Elimination from 1-Decalon and 8α-Methyl-1-Decalon in the Gas Phase. Loss of the Stereochemical Integrity of the cis/trans Ring Juncture for (+) Ions
-
Water loss from protonated gaseous 1-decalon and 8α-methyl-1-decalon under the condition of chemical ionisation mass spectrometry proceeds via at least three distinct pathways, all of which commences with a -hydrogen or -methyl migration, thus giving rise to the formation of the central intermediate 10.H2O loss from 10 proceeds either directly, involving a hydrogen from the position (C-4a) (Scheme 3; pathway 10 --> 15 --> 16), or from the rearranged ions 17 and/or 20.The fact that cis- and trans-8a-methyl-1-decalones and their deuterated isotopomers behave essentially identical is explained by loss of the stereochemical integrity of the ring conjunction.The mechanistic features of this unusual process (Scheme 2) have been explored by semi-empirical MINDO/3 calculations for the model system 23 (Scheme 4).The calculations reveal that there are two competing pathways for CH3 migration, one involving a sequence of -shifts (23 --> 24 --> 25 --> 26 --> 27), the other - being energetically less favoured - corresponds to a direct -methyl migration (Scheme 6; 23 --> 33 --> 27), in which the methyl group migrates with retention of configuration.This process is symmetry forbidden.For the corresponding symmetry allowed -methyl migration with inversion of configuration of the migrating group no pathway could be detected computationally.Both the experimental and theoretical investigations allow one to draw a detailed picture of H2O loss from protonated cyclic ketones in the gas phase. - The syntheses of the labelled substrates are described in detail. - Key words: Protonated Ketones, Wagner-Meerwein Rearrangement, Quantum Mechanical Calculations, Potential Energy Surface Calculations

-
The topological isomerism between octalinones in which the enone group has two distinct locations does not lead to any difference on the stereochemistry of the hydrocyanation of these substrates; the cyano group is axial in the kinetically controlled products.On the contrary, the stereoselectivity is strikingly reversed when the enone group is substituted by a methyl β to the carbonyl, leading to the introduction of the cyano group in an equatorial configuration in the kinetically controlled products.
