Diels-Alder adduct, resolution

All sixteen of the racemic carba-sugars predicted are known, as well as fifteen of the enantiomers. The most accessible starting-material for the synthesis of racemic carba-sugars is the Diels-Alder adduct of furan and acrylic acid, namely, e i o7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2-carboxylicacid (29). Furthermore, adduct 29 is readily resolved into the antipodes, (—)-29 and (+)-29, by use of optically active a-methylbenzylamine as the resolution agent. The antipodes were used for the synthesis of enantiomeric carba-sugars by reactions analogous to those adopted in the preparation of the racemates.

The preparation of 35 started from the chiral, non-racemic Diels-Alder adduct 36a, obtainable by treatment of butadiene with dimenthyl fumarate, followed by hydrolysis or by resolution of rac-36a with quinine as a resolving agent. Subsequent reduction afforded 36b. From there, the further route via 36c, 37a, and 37b led to 35 (Scheme 13). 

Another example of an enzymatic one-pot multiple Diels-Alder reaction is illustrated in Table 4.20 [83]. Racemic furfuryl alcohols 130 in the presence of ethoxy vinyl methyl fumarate 131 and enzyme TOYOBO-LIP undergo enzymatic acylation followed by kinetic enzymatic resolution to give the acyl derivatives 132 which then affords the adducts 133 and 134 by intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction 3-methyl-furfuryl alcohol 130 (R = Me) in acetone gives the best results. 

A complex naturally occurring amino acid 5-hydroxypiperazic acid (5HyPip) 100 was prepared by a multistep procedure that included Diels-Alder addition of 2,4-pentadienoic acid to phthalazinedione 83a as a first step (Scheme 24). Adduct 97 was esterified and oxidized with mercuric acetate to 98, which on hydrogenation over rhodium on alumina and subsequent hydrolysis provided a mixture of enantiomers from which the required enantiomer 99 was obtained by resolution with quinine. Its hydrazinolysis provided 100 [71JCS(C)514 77H119],... 

The chiral furan 120, prepared from 119, underwent a Diels-Alder reaction with racemic 110b (4equiv.) at -100 °C. Kinetic resolution of the allenic diester efficiently occurred to afford the oxabicydic enamine adduct 121 stereoselectively [100], The adduct was transformed to (+)-cydophellitol. 

Hydrolase-catalyzed domino reactions incorporating a resolution and a subsequent cycloaddition reaction have been described [95-97]. This constitutes an attractive approach to complex synthetic intermediates. For example, the l-(3-methyl-2-furyl)]propanol roc-93 reacts with ethoxyvinyl methyl fumarate (94) catalyzed by Lipase LIP (from Pseudomonas aeruginosa) to furnish a dienophilic fumarate ester, which spontaneously undergoes an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction with the furan moiety furnishing exclusively the syn-adduct, the oxabicy-clohexene 95 in excellent along with the remaining alcohol S-96 (Scheme 4.31) [95]. A similar approach has been used for a procedure that includes a series of domino reactions that includes dynamic kinetic resolution of the 3-vinylcyclohex-... 

As the Diels-Alder cyclic adduct 33 has been recognized as the most accessible starting compound for the synthesis of racemic pseudo-sugars, a resolution of 33 has been attempted to prepare enantiomeric pseudo-sugars, starting from an optically active antipode of 33. It has been revealed that 33 was readily separated into the enantiomers by using optically active a-methylbenzylamines as resolution reagents. 

An approach to lactone [12] similar in concept to that just described, but not requiring a resolution, involved asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction of (benzyloxymethyl)cyclopentadiene [21] with the chiral ester of acrylic add and 8-phenylmenthoI (22), The adduct [22] was obtained in undetermined but apparently quite high e.e. Oxidation of the ester enolate of [22], followed by lithium aluminum hydride reduction, gave diol [23] as an... 

The Diels-Alder reaction between furan and maleic anhydride is reversible and gives the more stable exo-adduct 100 (also commercially available). This compound contains the bicyclic ring system of ifetroban but is achiral and the key problem is to disrupt symmetry of the adduct 100 in a controlled way. The original synthesis used to make the drug17 converted the adduct 100 into the menthyl acetal 101 as a single enantiomer in four steps and then into the carboxylic acid 102 in another six steps. This strategy amounts to a resolution as each menthol adduct could be isolated by crystallisation of a diastereoisomeric mixture in only about 30% yield.
