- C- and N-Selective Grignard Addition Reactions of α-Aldimino Esters in the Presence or Absence of Zinc(II) Chloride: Synthetic Applications to Optically Active Azacycles
-
Highly practical synthetic methods were developed for the C- and N-selective Grignard addition reactions of N-4-MeOC6H4-protected α-aldimino esters in the presence or absence of zinc(II) chloride. Diastereoselective C-alkyl addition, tandem C-alkyl addition-N-alkylation, and some transformations to synthetically useful optically active azacycles were demonstrated. (Chemical Equation Presented).

- The origin of stereoselectivity in cycloaddition reactions promoted by stereoisomers of 8-phenylmenthyl glyoxylate oxime
-
A structural study of three synthesized stereoisomeric oximes, (-)-8-phenylmenthyl glyoxylate oxime (8-PMGO), (+)-8-phenylneomenthyl glyoxylate oxime (8-PnMGO), and (-)-8-phenylisoneomenthyl glyoxylate oxime (8-PinMGO), was performed by means of variable temperature 1H NMR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, and ab initio calculations. It was found that in 8-PMGO a conformation where the phenyl and oxime moieties are stacked is significantly favored, whereas in the other stereoisomers this preference was not so evident. The conformational differences found between the isomers were used to rationalize the outcome of the reaction (simultaneous 1,3-cycloaddition and aza-Diels-Alder reaction) between the referred oximes and cyclopentadiene, in which the stereoselectivity was evaluated and found to be nicely reproduced by a simple conformational analysis. The global results indicate that the stereoselectivity of the studied oximes, a bit higher for 8-PMGO, originates from their particular conformational distribution, in which the phenyloxime aromatic interaction plays a decisive role.

- Highly stereoselective cycloadditions of Danishefsky's diene to (-)-8-phenylmenthyl and (+)-8-phenylneomenthyl glyoxylate N-phenylethylimines
-
Enantiopure 4-oxo-pipecolic acid derivatives were obtained by double asymmetric induction aza-Diels-Alder reactions between chiral glyoxylate N-phenylethylimines and Danishefsky's diene mediated by zinc iodide. The key to success was the use of iminoacetates possessing two chiral auxiliaries, N-(S)- or N-(R)-1-phenylethyl and (-)-8-phenylmenthyl or (+)-8-phenylneomenthyl. Adducts were formed in good yields (78-81%), with complete regioselectivity and high diastereoselectivity (87-96%). The absolute configuration of the adducts formed was unequivocally assigned through NMR, specific optical rotation and X-ray data of appropriated derivatives. These cycloadducts can serve as precursors for bioactive piperidinic azasugars and pipecolic acid derivatives.

- Highly diastereoselective synthesis of 2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene derivatives: Bronsted acid catalyzed aza-Diels-Alder reaction between cyclopentadiene and imino-acetates with two chiral auxiliaries
-
The cycloaddition between protonated glyoxylate imines possessing two chiral auxiliaries, N-(S)- or N-(R)-1-phenylethyl and (-)-8-phenylmenthyl or (+)-8-phenylneomenthyl, and cyclopentadiene is described. The absolute configuration of all adducts formed was unequivocally assigned through NMR, specific optical rotation, and X-ray data of appropriated derivatives. Experimental results confirm the highly exo-selectivity for these aza-Diels-Alder reactions, single adducts being obtained from combinations of (8PM)-(R-PEA) and (8PNM)-(S-PEA).

- Highly diastereoselective Friedel-Crafts reaction of furans with 8-phenylmenthyl glyoxylate
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) The Friedel-Crafts reaction of (1R)-8-phenylmenthyl glyoxylate with variously substituted furans was found to be efficiently promoted by SnCl4 or magnesium salts with high diastereoselectivities. MgBr2 performs especially well under simple, undemanding conditions, giving both high yields and high diastereoselectivities (>90%). The reaction afforded chiral substituted furan-2-yl-hydroxyacetic acid esters, compounds of potentially high synthetic interest.

- The use of (-)-8-phenylisoneomenthol and (-)-8-phenylmenthol in the enantioselective synthesis of 3-functionalized 2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane derivatives via aza-Diels-Alder reaction
-
The asymmetric aza-Diels-Alder reaction of the (1R)-8-phenylmenthyl or (1R)-8-phenylisoneomenthyl glyoxylate-derived N-benzylimine with cyclopentadiene resulted in the enantioselective synthesis of the corresponding pure [(1S,3-exo)-2-benzyl-2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene]-3-carboxylates (80 or 69% yield, respectively). Reduction of these cycloadducts with LiAlH4 afforded pure (-)-[(1S,3-exo)-2-benzyl-2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-3-yl]methanol. Furthermore, a reaction sequence based on Barbier-Wieland degradation of both (1S,3-exo)-adducts afforded pure (+)-(1R)-2-benzoyl-2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-3-one. In the course of the two transformation sequences referred, the chiral auxiliaries were recovered in a virtually quantitative way.

- Synthesis and X-ray crystal structure of (-)-calicheamicinone
-
Diels-Alder reaction between ketene acetal 3 and the β-nitroacrylate ester 12 of (-)-8-phenylmenthol gave optically pure ketone 17. This substance was modified in such a way as to remove the chiral auxiliary and afford the epimeric silyl ethers 20M and 20m. Following procedures worked out using racemic materials, both 20M and 20m were converted into optically pure (-)- calicheamicinone (1). This is a crystalline substance, and an X-ray structure determination was carried out.

- Highly Enantioselective Synthesis of Pipecolic Acid Derivatives via an Asymmetric Aza-Diels-Alder Reaction
-
Very high asymmetric induction is observed in the aza-Diels-Alder reaction between dienes and the imine (R)-PhMeCH-N=CHCO2PhMen* (where PhMen* = 8-phenylmenthyl), which bears matched auxiliaries on nitrogen and on the ester; reactions in trifluoroethanol, in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid (1 equiv.), give substituted pipecolic acid derivatives in ca 50percent isolated yield, with only a single regio- and diastereo-isomer of the cycloadduct detectable in all cases (d.e. > 95percent).

New isolation of (1R,2S,5R)-(-)-2-(1-methyl-1-phenylethyl)-5-methylcyclohexan-1-ol ((-)-8-phenylmenthol, Ia), prepared from (R)-(+)-pulegone, is described.The method consists in the preparation of phenylcarbamate of Ia and its transesterification with ethanol.Further two diastereoisomers of (-)-8-phenylmenthol were isolated: the (1S,2R,5R)-isomer IIa and the (1R,2R,5R)-isomer IIIa.Compounds Ia, IIa and IIIa were converted into their respective glyoxylates Ic, IIc and IIIc.

- STUDIES ON THE REACTION OF α-IMINO ESTERS WITH ORGANOMETALLIC COMPOUNDS
-
Benzylzinc reagent reacted with α-amino ester ( 2 ) at the α-carbon exclusively, though other organometallic reagents such as Mg, Al, Cu, Ti, and B derivatives reacted at the nitrogen atom.Use of the (S)-amine as a chiral auxiliary of 2 created the R chirality at the imino carbon.Very high chiral induction was realized in the reaction of prenylzinc reagent with α-imino 8-(-)phenylmenthyl ester ( 10 ).The reaction of 2 with heteroatom substituted allylic organometallic compounds ( 15 ) gave the corresponding α-heteroatom substituted amino acid derivatives ( 16 ).Here again, the allylic zinc reagent gave the adduct in higher yield than the corresponding Ti, Al, and B reagents.

We recently communicated (J.K.Whitesell, A.Bhattacharya, D.A.Aguilar and K.Henke, J.Chem.Soc.Chem.Commun. 989 (1982)) a highly efficient and effective method for the control of absolute stereochemistry through asymmetric induction in the ene reaction the chiral glyoxylate 1 with alkenes.We now have accumulated sufficient information on this process in terms of both its mechanistic details as well as its scope and applicability to a variety of situations that warrants a more complete presentation of these reactions.

Two new syntheses of verrucarinic acid ((2S,3R)-2,5-dihydroxy-3-methylpentanoic acid) and its derivatives, suitably protected for the further conversion to macrocyclic trichothecenes, are described.The first one makes use of a diastereoselective alkylation of a (-)-(S)-malic acid ester and the regioselective reduction of one carboxyl function to a methyl group.The second approach involves a stereoselective addition of an allylsilane to a chiral glyoxylate.
