, p. 3195 - 3197 (2008/02/10)
A novel entry to the synthesis of diazoacetates is disclosed. A variety of diazoacetates were synthesized from the corresponding bromoacetates by treatment with N,N′-ditosylhydrazine in moderate to high yields. Ease of operation with the stable crystalline reagent as well as a short reaction time offer a useful alternative to the conventional methods.

The ability to convert a suitably disposed azide group into the corresponding diazo compound has been demonstrated.

Intramolecular insertion into unactivated prochiral C-H bonds of 3-aryl-1-propyl diazoacetates catalyzed by dirhodium(II) tetrakis[methyl 1-(3-phenyl propanoyl)imidazolidin-2-one-4(R or S)-carboxylate], Rh2(4R-MPPIM)4 or Rh2(4S-MPPIM)4, occurs in 91-96% ee and with virtually complete regiocontrol for the formation of β-benzyl-γ-butyrolactones. This methodology has been applied to the total synthesis of dibenzylbutyrolactone lignans (-)- and (+)-enterolactone, (-)- and (+)-hinokinin, and (+)-arctigenin from substituted cinnamic acids in 19-27% overall yields. Aryltetralin lignan (+)-isodeoxypodophyllotoxin was prepared from the reactant 3,4-(methylenedioxy)cinnamic acid in 36% yield overall, and the lactone precursor to (+)-isolauricerisinol was formed in 96.5% ee and 23% yield overall. Applications of the chiral Rh2(MPPIM)4 catalysts to fully aliphatic systems resulting in the formation of β-substituted-γ-butyrolactones with high regiocontrol and with 93-96% ee have demonstrated the generality of this methodology. A model that provides accurate predictions of β-substituted-γ-butyrolactone absolute configurations in these asymmetric metal carbene transformations is described.
