Chiral synthesis VIA organoboranes. 26. An efficient synthesis of isoprenyl derivatives of borane - Valuable reagents for the isoprenylboration of aldehydes. A convenient route to both enantiomers of ipsenol and ipsdienol in high optical purity

Preparation of B-isoprenyldialkylboranes is achieved by adopting the Brandsma modification of the Schlosser procedure, namely metallation of isoprene with potassium 2,2,5,5-tetramethylpiperidide followed by sequential treatment with 5-methoxydialkylborane and boron trifluoride-etherate. These reagents are used for the convenient isoprenylation of aldehydes. Reaction of isovaleraldehyde and β, β-dimethylacrolein with B2′isoprenyldiisopinocampheylborane provides both ipsenol and ipsdienol, respectively in 65% yields and 96% ee.

B-2'-ISOPRENYLDIISOPINOCAMPHEYLBORANE: AN EFFICIENT REAGENT FOR THE CHIRAL ISOPRENYLATION OF ALDEHYDES. A CONVENIENT ROUTE TO BOTH ENANTIOMERS OF IPSENOL AND IPSDIENOL

B-2'-Isoprenyldiisopinocampheylborane is prepared by metallation of isoprene with potassium 2,2,5,5-tetramethylpiperidide followed by sequential treatment with B-methoxydiisopinocampheylborane and boron trifluoride-etherate.Condensation of this reagent with aldehydes provides isoprenylated chiral alcohols.This methodology is utilized for an efficient one-pot synthesis of both enantiomers of the pheromones of the bark beetle Ips paraconfusus Lanier, ipsenol and ipsdienol in 96percent ee and 65percent isolated yields.

Enantioselective Isoprenylboration Reaction of Aldehydes Catalyzed by a Chiral Phosphoric Acid

The BINOL-derived chiral phosphoric acid (R)-TRIP is utilized as an organocatalyst in the asymmetric isoprenylboration reaction of aldehydes, wherein hydrogen-bond interactions play a key role in the control of enantioselectivity. A wide arrays of enantioenriched dienyl homoallyl alcohols, including two natural products (?)-Ipsdienol and (?)-Ipsenol, have been successfully constituted. The synthetic application to chiral isoprenylated isobenzofuranone, vinyloxirane and cyclohexene derivatives has also been disclosed. (Figure presented.).

Catalytic asymmetric allylic transfer reactions for the Enantioselective synthesis of dienyl and enynyl alcohols

Efficient catalytic asymmetric allylic transfer reactions of achiral aldehydes with 2-ethynyl- and 2-ethenyl-2-propenyl-stannane promoted by BINOL-TiIV complex with synergetic reagent are achieved for the synthesis of homoenynyl- and dienyl alcohols with high levels of enantioselectivity. The range of enantioselectivity is 84-99% ee with good chemical yields. The application of catalytic asymmetric dienylation in a single operation was exemplified by the enantioselective synthesis of naturally occurring (-)-Ipsdienol and (-)-Ipsenol.
