This study focused on the selective dihydrogen reduction of tosylmethyl-substituted tricyclic enones using lithium aluminum hydride (LAH) as a catalyst to synthesize α-methylenecyclopentene compounds. The study revealed that the reduction process first involves SN2' displacement of the allyl tosyl group, followed by 1,2-reduction of the resulting exocyclic enone to form α-methylenecyclopentenols. These products can be further converted to α-methylenecyclopentenols and α-methylenecyclopentenones by flash vacuum pyrolysis technology to achieve the desired cyclization reversal. The study concluded that the unique behavior of tricyclic sulfones during LAH reduction is attributed to the electron-withdrawing properties and leaving ability of the allyl tosyl group, while the reduction products (especially alcohols) can serve as excellent precursors for the stereospecific synthesis of functionalized α-methylenecyclopentenols and α-methylenecyclopentenones, which are potentially valuable in the synthesis of natural products. Key chemicals used in the process include tosylmethyl-substituted tricyclic enones, lithium aluminum hydride, and various solvents and reagents for the reduction, cyclization, and purification steps.
