Desymmetrization of C2-Symmetric Bis(Boronic Esters) by Zweifel Olefinations

anti-Configured 1,3-dimethyl deoxypropionate motifs are important sub structures in natural products. Herein, we describe a bidirectional approach for the rapid construction of natural products featuring such motifs by using C2-symmetrical 1,3-bis(boronic esters). As for its application in convergent syntheses it was important to establish a selective mono-Zweifel olefination we describe the scope and limitations by using different 1,3-bis(boronic esters) and nucleophiles. This protocol takes advantage of the combination of the Hoppe–Matteson–Zweifel chemistry, which was elegantly put into practice by Aggarwal et al. In order to show its applicability the total syntheses of two natural products, serricornin and (+)-invictolide, were performed.

Investigation of the Deprotonative Generation and Borylation of Diamine-Ligated α-Lithiated Carbamates and Benzoates by in Situ IR spectroscopy

Diamine-mediated α-deprotonation of O-alkyl carbamates or benzoates with alkyllithium reagents, trapping of the carbanion with organoboron compounds, and 1,2-metalate rearrangement of the resulting boronate complex are the primary steps by which organoboron compounds can be stereoselectively homologated. Although the final step can be easily monitored by 11B NMR spectroscopy, the first two steps, which are typically carried out at cryogenic temperatures, are less well understood owing to the requirement for specialized analytical techniques. Investigation of these steps by in situ IR spectroscopy has provided invaluable data for optimizing the homologation reactions of organoboron compounds. Although the deprotonation of benzoates in noncoordinating solvents is faster than that in ethereal solvents, the deprotonation of carbamates shows the opposite trend, a difference that has its origin in the propensity of carbamates to form inactive parasitic complexes with the diamine-ligated alkyllithium reagent. Borylation of bulky diamine-ligated lithiated species in toluene is extremely slow, owing to the requirement for initial complexation of the oxygen atoms of the diol ligand on boron with the lithium ion prior to boron-lithium exchange. However, ethereal solvent, or very small amounts of THF, facilitate precomplexation through initial displacement of the bulky diamines coordinated to the lithium ion. Comparison of the carbonyl stretching frequencies of boronates derived from pinacol boronic esters with those derived from trialkylboranes suggests that the displaced lithium ion is residing on the pinacol oxygen atoms and the benzoate/carbamate carbonyl group, respectively, explaining, at least in part, the faster 1,2-metalate rearrangements of boronates derived from the trialkylboranes.

Short and highly stereoselective total syntheses of the sesquilignan natural product tatanan A and its C3 epimer are described. An assembly-line synthesis approach, using iterative lithiation–borylation reactions, was applied to install the three contiguo

Dipole-Stabilized Carbanions from Esters: α-Oxo Lithiations of 2,6-Substituted Benzoates of Primary Alcohols

The synthetic utility of dipole-stabilized carbanions from esters is illustrated by the preparations, α-oxo lithiations, electrophilic substitutions, and cleavages of the 2,4,6-triisopropylbenzoates and the 2,6-bis(dimethylamino)-3,5-diisopropylbenzoates of primary alcohols, 2 and 3, respectively.Typical electrophiles used in this methodology include primary alkyl halides, aldehydes, ketones, trimethylsilyl chloride, and tri-n-butyltin chloride.Cleavages of the substituted esters of 2 are accomplished with lithium aluminum hydride while hydrolyses of derivatives of3 can be achieved under acidic conditions.The 2,6-substitutions of 2 and 3 are considered to enforce orthogonality of the carbonyl group and the phenyl ring and thereby to inhibit addition to the carbonyl by the organolithium base used for the metalation by placing the substituents in the trajectory for nucleophilic addition along the LUMO of the carbonyl.The acidic hydrolysis of 3 under conditions where 2 is stable is attributed to protonation of the dimethylamino group which provides subsequent assistance for nucleophilic addition.These metalations provide the key steps in the preparation of secondary α-lithio alcohol synthetic equivalents from primary alcohols.Lithiation of 1'-methylbenzyl 2,4,6-triisopropylbenzoate proceeds α to oxygen as expected, but attempts to prepare analogous unactivated tertiary α-lithio esters were unsuccessful.The lithiation of 2'-methoxyethyl 2,4,6-triisopropylbenzoate is followed by elimination of methoxide and α-oxo metalation of the resulting vinyl ester.Lithiation of allyl 2,4,6-triisopropylbenzoate provides 1-(2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl)-1,2-butanedione by rearrangement.
