4.3. Procedure for Lewis acid mediated cyclization of 1
with column chromatography (silica gel; n-hexane/ethyl
acetate, 10/1) gave the corresponding aldehyde (3.7 g,
87%). To a toluene (90 ml) solution of aldehyde obtained
above (6.0 g, 30 mmol) at room temperature was added
methyl (triphenylphosphpranyliden)acetate (11.7 g, 35
mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred for 24 h at
room temperature. Filtration, concentration under re-
duced pressure, purification with column chromatogra-
phy (silica gel; n-hexane/ethyl acetate, 10/1) gave 6 (7.2
g, 93%). 6 dissolved in CH2Cl2 (65 ml), and 1.01 M CH2Cl2
solution of i-Bu2AlH (DIBAL, 61 ml, 62 mmol) was
added dropwise at −78°C in 20 min. The mixture was
stirred for 1.5 h, and water (35 ml) was added slowly. The
mixture was stirred overnight at r.t., dried with anhydrous
MgSO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The
residue was dissolved in pyridine (20 ml), and Ac2O (10
ml) was added and the mixture was stirred for 6 h at r.t.
Water was added to the mixture, extracted with ether,
washed with 1 N HCl, water, and brine, dried with
anhydrous MgSO4, concentrated under reduced pressure.
The residue was dissolved in a mixture of THF (60 ml)
and H2O (20 ml), AcOH (20 ml) was added and the
mixture was stirred overnight at r.t. Concentration under
reduced pressure, and purification with column chro-
matography (silica gel; n-hexane/ethyl acetate, 1/1) gave
7 (4.1 g, 93%). To an ether solution of 7 (5.3 g, 34 mmol)
were added PPh3 (15.4 g, 59 mmol), CBr4 (24.6 g, 74
mmol), and the reaction mixture was stirred for 24 h at
room temperature. Filtration, concentration under re-
duced pressure, and purification with column chromatog-
raphy (silica gel; n-hexane/ethyl acetate, 8/1) gave 8 (6.1
g, 88%). To a suspension of NaH (340 mg, 8.5 mmol, 60%
in mineral oil) in DMF (8 ml) at 0°C under argon was
added 3-methyl-2,4-pentanedione (1.0 ml, 8.6 mmol), and
the mixture was stirred for 30 min. A DMF (5 ml) solution
of 8 (1.4 g, 6.5 mmol) and NaI (240 mg, 1.6 mmol) were
added and the resulting mixture was stirred for 6 h at
70–75°C. Addition of water at 0°C, extraction with ether,
washing with water and brine, drying with anhydrous
MgSO4, and concentration under reduced pressure, and
purification with column chromatography (silica gel;
n-hexane/ethyl acetate, 3/1) gave 9 (1.3 g, 77%). To a THF
(50 ml) solution of bis(tributyltin) (10.5 g, 18 mmol) was
added a 1.63 M n-hexane solution of n-BuLi (11.0 ml,
18 mmol) at 0°C, and the mixture was stirred for 20 min.
A 1.0 M n-hexane solution of Et2AlCl (18 ml, 18 mmol)
was added at −78°C and the mixture was stirred for 1
h. Pd(PPh3)4 (700 mg, 0.65 mmol) was added and the
mixture was stirred for 30 min. A THF solution of 9 (3.3
g, 13 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred for
26 h at r.t. Addition of aqueous NH3, filtration extraction
with ether, washing with water and brine, drying with
anhydrous MgSO4, and concentration under reduced
pressure, and purification with column chromatography
(silica gel; n-hexane/ethyl acetate, 8/1) gave 1 (2.4 g, 53%).
The reaction mediated by TiCl4 is representative. To
a stirred solution of 1 (48.5 mg, 0.1 mmol) in 1 ml of
dry CH2Cl2 under argon at −78°C was added TiCl4
(1.0 M solution in CH2Cl2, 0.1 ml, 0.1 mmol), and the
mixture was stirred for 1 h. The reaction was quenched
with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution, extracted
with ether, washed with brine, and dried over MgSO4.
The solvents were removed in vacuo, and the residue
was purified by silica gel column chromatography (n-
hexane/ethyl acetate=8/1). The diastereomer ratio was
1
determined by H-NMR; a 92:8 mixture of 2 and 3 was
obtained in 87% (17.1 mg).
4.4. Procedure for transition metal catalyzed
cyclization of 1
The reaction catalyzed by (h3-C3H5PdCl)2 in CH3CN
is representative. To a stirred solution of allyltributyltin
(50 mg, 0.15 mmol) and 1 (48.5 mg, 0.1 mmol) in 1 ml
of dry CH3CN under argon at r.t. was added (h3-
C3H5PdCl)2 (2 mg, 0.01 mmol), and the mixture was
stirred for 5.5 h at 50°C. The reaction was quenched
through short column (silica gel). Yield and ratios were
determined by 1H-NMR (p-xylene was used as an internal
standard). 32% yield, 2:3=6:94.
