Neighboring Carbonyl Group Assisted Oxyacetoxylation of Propargylic Carboxylates with Retention of Chirality under Metal Free Condition

A metal-free oxyacetoxylation method of primary, secondary and tertiary propargylic carboxylates with retention of chirality was presented. The reaction proceeds through the intramolecular nucleophilic attack of the neighboring carbonyl group on an alkynyliodonium intermediate. The process is general with broad substrate scope and is amenable for application to a variety of propargyl carboxylates including those obtained from natural products. Insight into the mechanistic pathway by isotopic labelling (using H2O18 and D2O) and controlled experiments confirmed. (Figure presented.).

Heterogeneous Acid-Catalyzed Racemization of Tertiary Alcohols

Tertiary alcohols are important structural motifs in natural products and building blocks in organic synthesis but only few methods are known for their enantioselective preparation. Chiral resolution is one of these approaches that leaves one enantiomer (50 % of the material) unaffected. An attractive method to increase the efficiency of those resolutions is to racemize the unaffected enantiomer. In the present work, we have developed a practical racemization protocol for tertiary alcohols. Five different acidic resin materials were tested. The Dowex 50WX8 was the resin of choice since it was capable of racemizing tertiary alcohols without any byproduct formation. Suitable solvents and a biphasic system were investigated, and the optimized system was capable of racemizing differently substituted tertiary alcohols.

Gold-catalyzed regioselective hydration of propargyl acetates assisted by a neighboring carbonyl group: Access to α-acyloxy methyl ketones and synthesis of (±)-actinopolymorphol B

A general atom-economical approach for the synthesis of α-acyloxy methyl ketone is demonstrated through regioselective hydration of a wide range of propargyl acetates. Readily available catalyst comprising of 1% Ph 3PAuCl and 1% AgSbF6 in dioxane-H2O efficiently hydrolyzes the terminal alkynes of the propargyl acetate in the absence of acid promoters at ambient temperature within a short time. Effective regioselective hydration is facilitated by the neighboring carbonyl group as demonstrated through 18O-labeling study. Compatibility of functional moieties and tolerance to various acid-labile protecting groups are observed. The catalytic condition is also suitable to perform hydration of TMS-substituted propargyl acetates, even though it requires prolonged reaction time for completion. Stereointegrity of the propargylic acetate is preserved during the hydration. The robustness of the system is successfully demonstrated through gram scale preparation of the product in nearly quantitative yield. The common α-acyloxy methyl ketone is transformed to 1,2-diol and 1,2-amino alcohol derivatives. Synthesis of actinopolymorphol B is achieved for the first time involving hydration of the propargyl acetate as the key step.

Transition metal-catalyzed pentannulation of propargyl acetates via styrylcarbene intermediates

The indene formation from phenyl-substituted sec- and tert-propargyl esters (terminal alkynes) was achieved by platinum or ruthenium catalysis via E-vinylcarbenoid intermediate. Considering the competitive reactions of pentannulation versus cyclopropanati
