Asymmetric synthesis of both enantiomers of disparlure

, p. 23 - 28 (2012)
Starting from propargyl alcohol (12), and on the basis of Zhou's modified Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation, the sex pheromone of the Gypsy moth, disparlure (+)-8 and its enantiomer (-)-8 have been synthesized, each in six steps, with overall yields of 29% for (+)-8 and 27% for (-)-8 (ee>98%). The use of the sequential coupling tactic renders the method flexible, which is applicable to the synthesis of other cis-epoxy pheromones. Copyright
Chiral Bifunctional Phosphine Ligand Enables Gold-Catalyzed Asymmetric Isomerization and Cyclization of Propargyl Sulfonamide into Chiral 3-Pyrroline

This work details an asymmetric gold-ligand cooperative catalysis that transforms readily accessible chiral/achiral propargylic sulfonamides into chiral 3-pyrrolines. A bifunctional biphenyl-2-ylphosphine ligand featuring a chiral tetrahydroisoquinoline fragment is essential for the observed metal-ligand cooperation and the asymmetric induction. 2,5-cis-3-Pyrrolines are formed with excellent diastereoselectivities in a matched scenario. The mismatched scenario by using the ligand enantiomer delivers 2,5-trans-3-pyrrolines with >5/1 diastereoselectivity. The synthetic utilities of this chemistry are demonstrated.

A general and practical method for copper-catalyzed cross-coupling of allyl phosphates with stable perfluoroalkylzinc reagents has been developed. The reaction proceeds under mild reaction conditions with high efficiency, good functional group tolerance, and high regio- A nd stereoselectivities and provides general, straightforward, and useful access to allyl-perfluoroalkyl compounds. Preliminary mechanistic studies reveal that the allyl copper intermediate may be involved in the catalytic cycle.

In our previous study, unusual odd-numbered dienoic acids with a terminal olefin were found as minor components in ovaries of the Japanese limpet Cellana toreuma, and the synthetic interests have been focused onto their structural confirmation and the inspection into their potential biological activity. Here, we describe an efficient and stereoselective total synthesis of two new unusual dienoic acids, 19:2?7,18 and 21:2?7,20, through a common pathway involving the strategic combination of alkyne-zipper reaction and Lindlar hydrogenation for the construction of their unique carbon chains. In our synthetic study, 2-propyn-1-ol was at first subjected to alkylation and alkyne-zipper reaction to form the two fragments, and the subsequent carbon chain elongation was achieved by the usual coupling reaction to obtain the C-19 and C-21 products bearing an internal acetylenic group. Then, the internal acetylenic group of these products was subjected to Lindlar hydrogenation to form a Z-alkenyl moiety, and the subsequent deprotection of the products was carried out under an acidic condition without isomerization of the internal Z-alkenyl group. Total synthesis of target fatty acids, 19:2?7,18 and 21:2?7,20, was finally accomplished by two-step oxidation of the resulting alcohols into carboxylic acids in a highly chemoselective manner, and the structures of these unusual natural fatty acids were finally elucidated by identifying the GC–MS spectra of the methyl esters of authentic and synthetic fatty acids.
