A series of N-substituted cyclohexyldiaminophenolic ligands for the asymmetric Grignard synthesis of tertiary alcohols is reported. The 2,5-dimethylpyrrole-decorated ligand led to improved enantioselectivities and broadened the scope of the methodology. As an exemplar, we report an unprecedented highly selective one-step synthesis of gossonorol in 93% ee, also constituting the shortest formal syntheses of natural products boivinianin B and yingzhaosu C.

Asymmetric bromolactonization reactions of δ-unsaturated carboxylic acids have been investigated in the presence of 10 chiral squaramide hydrogen-bonding organocatalysts. The best catalyst enabled the cyclization of several 5-arylhex-5-enoic acids into th
Synthesis of (+)- and (-)-gossonorol and cyclisation to boivinianin B

experimental part, p. 2938 - 2944 (2010/08/07)
The first enantioselective synthesis of gossonorol has been achieved in good overall yield and excellent enantioselectivity, demonstrating the utility of a novel approach to enantiopure tertiary benzylic alcohols. Epoxidation of enantiopure gossonorol followed by acid-catalysed cyclisation gave a diastereoisomeric mixture of boivinianin B, typical of the diastereoisomeric mixtures of this compound found in nature. Separation of the diastereoisomers and determination of their enantiopurity revealed that the stereochemical integrity of the benzylic alcohol of gossonorol had been preserved during the epoxidation/cyclisation reaction.
