Epoxy allylic ether cyclization

While allyl and glycidyl ethers are converted into a mixture of oxetane and oxepine products with xec-butyllithium, Mordini and co-workers reported that allyl, benzyl, and propargyl epoxy ethers can be regioselectively converted into 2-vinyl, 2-phenyl, or 2-aIkynyl-3-(hydroxyalkyl) oxetanes upon treatment with either Schlosser s base or other mixed metal bases. Some of the best results were obtained with the LDA/potassium ferf-butoxide mixture (LIDAKOR, ref 194). While rearrangement of propargylic or benzylic epoxide ethers formed exclusively the four-membered oxetanes, rearrangements of allyl oxiranyl ethers show a selectivity for cyclization to the seven-membered ring. Trialkylsilyl-substituted epoxide allyl ethers also show a preference for the oxepine, and mixtures are obtained as the size of the silyl substituents is increased (Scheme 17). [Pg.235]

A cascade reaction for the construction of spirobenzo[/t]chromanone and spiropyranone derivatives was achieved by a platinum-catalysed tandem cyclization/[l,2]-alkyl migra-tion/allyl shift of epoxy alkynyl allyl ethers followed an aromatic cyclization reaction (Scheme 142). ... [Pg.517]

The epoxy alcohol 47 is a squalene oxide analog that has been used to examine substrate specificity in enzymatic cyclizations by baker s yeast [85], The epoxy alcohol 48 provided an optically active intermediate used in the synthesis of 3,6-epoxyauraptene and marmine [86], and epoxy alcohol 49 served as an intermediate in the synthesis of the antibiotic virantmycin [87], In the synthesis of the three stilbene oxides 50, 51, and 52, the presence of an o-chloro group in the 2-phenyl ring resulted in a lower enantiomeric purity (70% ee) when compared with the analogs without this chlorine substituent [88a]. The very efficient (80% yield, 96% ee) formation of 52a by asymmetric epoxidation of the allylic alcohol precursor offers a synthetic entry to optically active 11 -deoxyanthracyclinones [88b], whereas epoxy alcohol 52b is one of several examples of asymmetric epoxidation used in the synthesis of brevitoxin precursors [88c]. Diastereomeric epoxy alcohols 54 and 55 are obtained in combined 90% yield (>95% ee each) from epoxidation of the racemic alcohol 53 [89], Diastereomeric epoxy alcohols, 57 and 58, also are obtained with high enantiomeric purity in the epoxidation of 56 [44]. The epoxy alcohol obtained from substrate 59 undergoes further intramolecular cyclization with stereospecific formation of the cyclic ether 60 [90]. [Pg.253]
