Baeyer catalytic asymmetric

Table 5. Direct catalytic asymmetric aldol reactions promoted by heteropolyme-tallic asymmetric catalyst and following Baeyer-Villiger oxidations.

An important feature of this reaction is that in contrast to most other catalytic asymmetric Mannich reactions, a-unbranched aldehydes are efficient electrophiles in the proline-catalyzed reaction. In addition, with hydroxy acetone as a donor, the corresponding syn-l, 2-aminoalcohols are furnished with high chemo-, regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivities. The produced ketones 14 can be further converted to 4-substituted 2-oxazolidinones 17 and /i-aminoalcohol derivatives 18 in a straightforward manner via Baeyer-Villiger oxidation (Scheme 9.4) [5]. 

Several of the aldol products obtained were readily converted to their corresponding esters by Baeyer-Villiger oxidation. These results also are summarized in Table 16. Ester 66 was further transformed into key epothilone A intermediate 69 and also a key synthetic intermediate 70 for bryostatin 7. What is the mechanism of these direct catalytic asymmetric aldol reactions using LLB-II It is apparent that self-assembly of LLB and KOH occms, because of the formation of a variety of aldol products in high ee and yields. In addition, the NMR and LDI-TOF(-i-)MS spectra of LLB KOH show the occurrence of rapid exchange between Li and K. We have already found that LPB[LaK3tris(binaphthoxide)] itself is not a useful catalyst for aldol reactions, and that the complexes LPB KOH or LPB LiOH give rise to much less satisfactory results. 

In the late 20th century, chemists witnessed remarkable advancements in catalytic asymmetric synthesis. Significant efforts were devoted to the development of efficient oxidation catalysts, and a range of enantioselective metallong history of the Baeyer-Villiger (BV) oxidation, the enantioselective version of the process was not studied until recently.

Asymmetric Baeyer-Villiger oxidation reaction In 1994, Bolm et al used chiral Cu and Ni complexes (7.23) in catalytic amount with different oxidation systems. 

To investigate their possible occurrence in plants, we have developed convenient methods for the synthesis of 24-epiteasterone (71) and 24-epityphasterol (75) as well as their corresponding B-homo lactones 43 and 42, respectively (Scheme 9). For the synthesis of compound 71 the (24f )-3p-hydroxy-6-ketone 68 was used. Asymmetric catalytic dihydroxylation of the A22 double bond of 68 gave the (22/ ,23/f)-diol 71 as the main product, besides traces of its (22S,23S)-epimer. Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of 71 with CF3CO3H led to a 1 0.6 mixture of 2-deoxy-3,24-diepi brassinolide (43) and its 5a-oxa-6-oxo isomer 72, which were separated by preparative HPLC. 

In view of the biological importance of the 6-lactone moiety, extensive efforts have been devoted for the development of various methods for the synthesis of saturated 8-lactones. Ammig the various methods, the more classical methods include lactonization of the 8-hydroxy acid derivatives, Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of cyclopentanones, and oxidation of lactols. Besides, more challenging and attractive methods such as oxidative lactonization, radical cyclization, and carbonylatimi have also been used efficiently for the synthesis of 8-lactones. The past two decades have witnessed remarkable growth in the development of catalytic and asymmetric methods for the synthesis of 6-lactones in optically pure form. In the next decade, new and more exciting advances in the development of efficient and catalytic enantioselective methods and their application in the synthesis of complex 8-lactone natural products can be expected. 

After experimentation it was found that Baeyer-Villiger oxidation could be suppressed and the amount of catalyst could be reduced to 20 mol% if the reaction was carried out between pH 10 and 11 (Scheme 1.13) [33,34], Yields were increased (65-95%) and the catalytic system resulted in slightly higher ees (91-97% ee). The synthetic utility of this system has been widely explored with the successful asymmetric epoxidation of various hydroxyalkenes (90-94% ee) [35], enol ethers and enol esters (80-91% ee) [36], enynes (90-97% ee) [37], vinylsilanes (84-94% ee) [38], cis-aUcenes (84-97% ee)[39, 40], terminal alkenes (30-94% ee) [41], and mono-epoxidation of conjugated dienes (90-97% ee) [42],...
