Stereoselective synthesis of substituted tetrahydrofurans - Identification and analysis by proton NMR and MNDO, MM2 calculations

Methyl acetoacetate and terminal olefins react in the presence of cobalt(II) acetate and oxygen to give 5-alkyl-2-hydroxy-2-methyl-3-methoxycarbonyl tetrahydrofurans in a highly stereoselective manner. Proton NMR, semiempirical MNDO and empirical MM2 methods are used to identify the particular diastereomer and the energetics of the different isomers are discussed.

COBALT(II) ACETATE PROMOTED ADDITION OF ACETOACETATE TO TERMINAL OLEFINS: A HIGHLY STEREOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF 5-ALKYL-2-HYDROXY-2-METHYL-3-METHOXYCARBONYL TETRAHYDROFURANS

Methylacetoacetate and terminal olefins react in presence of Cobalt(II) acetate and Oxygen to give the title compound(2) in a highly stereoselective manner and the structure of this compound is elucidated by 1H NMR simulation studies.
