Samarium iodide reacts with methyl (Z)-3-dimethyl(4-methylphenyl)silylprop-2-enoate 5b to give dimethyl (3RS,4SR)-3,4-bis[dimethyl(4-methylphenyl)silyl]hexane-1,6-dioate 8b with high stereoselectivity. This meso diester can be converted into (3RS,4SR)-3,4-bis[dimethyl(4-methylphenyl)silyl]pentan-5-olide 16 by Dieckmann cyclisation, demethoxycarbonylation and Baeyer-Villiger reaction. Silyl-to-hydroxy conversion and relactonisation gave (±)-deoxyribonolactone, and anti-selective enolate hydroxylation followed by silyl-to-hydroxy conversion gave (±)-arabonolactone. An attempt to synthesise sugars with the relative configuration (3RS,4RS) was thwarted by an unprecedented retention of configuration at the migration origin in the cationic rearrangement of (3RS,4SR)-3,4-bis[dimethyl(4-methylphenyl)silyl]-5-hydroxypentanoic acid 28 to (3RS,4SR)-3,5-bis[dimethyl(4-methylphenyl)silyl]pentan-1,4-olide 30.
Stereoselective Samarium(II)-induced Coupling of β-Silylacrylic Esters: a Synthesis of (+/-)-2-Deoxyribonolactone
Fleming, Ian,Ghosh, Sunil K.
, p. 1775 - 1777 (2007/10/02)
Samarium iodide converts the β-silylacrylate 1c with high stereoselectivity into the racemic diester 2c, from which (+/-)deoxyribonolactone 11 can be prepared.
