Heck reactions/mixed transformations

The key intermediate in the total synthesis of furaquinocin was obtained in good yield by a reductive Heck reaction that proceeded with a sterically hindered base pentamethylpiperidine (PMP) <02JA11616>. A new hypothesis for the major skeletal rearrangement (anthraquinone —> xanthone —> coumarin) that occurs in the complex biosynthesis of aflatoxin Bi was proposed. To test this hypothesis, an intermediate 11-hydroxy-O-methylstergmatocystin (HOMST) was synthesized as shown below. The key transformation in this synthesis involved the treatment of an ester-aldehyde with Pr3SiOTf, which smoothly produced a mixed acetal. Direct reduction with DIBAL-H led to the aldehyde. The desired product was eventually obtained via several steps as shown <02JA5294>. [Pg.195]

There are a few efficient methods for the stereoselective synthesis of vinyl halides, and this transformation remains a synthetic challenge. Research by S. Roy showed that the Hunsdiecker reaction can be made metal free and catalytic catalytic Hunsdiecker reaction) and can be used to prepare ( )-vinyl halides from aromatic a,p-unsaturated carboxylic acids. The unsaturated aromatic acids were mixed with catalytic amounts of TBATFA and the A/-halo-succinimide was added in portions over time at ambient temperature. The yields are good to excellent even for activated aromatic rings which do not undergo the classical Hunsdiecker reaction. The fastest halodecarboxylation occurs with NBS, but NCS and NIS are considerably slower. The nature of the applied solvents is absolutely critical, and DCE proved to be the best. This strategy was extended and applied in the form of a one-pot tandem Hunsdiecker reaction-Heck coupling to prepare aryl substituted (2 ,4 )-dienoic acids, esters, and amides. [Pg.219]
