1,2-migration stereoselective

Diacetoxylation of various conjugated dienes including cyclic dienes has been extensively studied. 1,3-Cyclohexadiene was converted into a mixture of isomeric l,4-diacetoxy-2-cyclohexenes of unknown stereochemistry[303]. The stereoselective Pd-catalyzed 1,4-diacetoxylation of dienes is carried out in AcOH in the presence of LiOAc and /or LiCI and beiizoquinone[304.305]. In the presence of acetate ion and in the absence of chloride ion, /rau.v-diacetox-ylation occurs, whereas addition of a catalytic amount of LiCl changes the stereochemistry to cis addition. The coordination of a chloride ion to Pd makes the cis migration of the acetate from Pd impossible. From 1,3-cyclohexadiene, trans- and ci j-l,4-diacetoxy-2-cyclohexenes (346 and 347) can be prepared stereoselectively. For the 6-substituted 1,3-cycloheptadiene 348, a high diaster-eoselectivity is observed. The stereoselective cij-diacetoxylation of 5-carbo-methoxy-1,3-cyclohexadiene (349) has been applied to the synthesis of dl-shikimic acid (350). 

Norbomyl cations, besides displaying the 1,2 shifts of a CH2 group previously illustrated for the isobomeol —> camphene conversion, are also prone to rapid hydride shifts from the 3 to the 2 position (known as 3,2 shifts). These 3,2 shifts usually take place from the exo side, that is, the 3-exo hydrogen migrates to the 2-exo position. This stereoselectivity is analogous to the behavior we have previously... 

Lipoxygenases catalyse the regio-specific and stereoselective oxygenation of unsaturated fatty acids. The mammalian enzymes have been detected in human platelets, lung, kidney, testes and white blood cells. The leukotrienes, derived from the enzymatic action of the enzyme on arachidonic acid, have effects on neutrophil migration and aggregation, release of lysosomal enzymes, capillary permeability, induction of pain and smooth muscle contraction (Salmon, 1986). 

A deuterium-labeling study of a reaction of this type demonstrated syn stereoselectivity in both the oxypalladation and P-elimination, which indicates that the cyclization occurs by internal migration, rather than by an anti nucleophilic capture.113 This particular system also gives products from double-bond migration that occurs by reversible Pd(II)-D addition-elimination. 

The stereoselectivity of these reactions arises from a base-induced anti elimination after the migration. The elimination is induced by addition of methoxide to the boron, generating an anionic center. 

The stereochemistry of the C(3) hydroxy was established in Step D. The Baeyer-Villiger oxidation proceeds with retention of configuration of the migrating group (see Section 12.5.2), so the correct stereochemistry is established for the C—O bond. The final stereocenter for which configuration must be established is the methyl group at C(6) that was introduced by an enolate alkylation in Step E, but this reaction was not very stereoselective. However, since this center is adjacent to the lactone carbonyl, it can be epimerized through the enolate. The enolate was formed and quenched with acid. The kinetically preferred protonation from the axial direction provides the correct stereochemistry at C(6). 

It has also been shown that dimethylsilyl enolates can be activated by diisopropylamine and water and exhibit a high reactivity toward iV-tosyl imines to give Mannich-type reaction products in the absence of a Fewis acid or a Bronsted acid.51 For example, the reaction of [(1-cyclohexen-l-yl)oxy]dimethylsilane with 4-methyl-A -(phenylmethylene)benzene sulfonamide gave re/-4-methyl-N- (f )-[(15)-(2-oxocyclohexyl)phenyl-methyl] benzenesulfonamide (anti-isomer) in 91% yield stereoselectively (99 1 anti syn) (Eq. 11.30). On the other hand, Fi and co-workers reported a ruthenium-catalyzed tandem olefin migration/aldol and Mannich-type reactions by reacting allyl alcohol and imine in protic solvents.52... 

The theory of stereoselectivity found in intramolecular hydrogen migration in polyenes was disclosed by Woodward and Hoffmann 51>. The HO—LU interaction criterion is very conveniently applied to this problem 64>. The LU of the C—H sigma part participates in interaction with the HO of the polyene n part. The mode of explanation is clear-cut... 

Chien already postulated that C,-symmetric ansa-bridged complexes exist in two isomeric states, which interconvert during the course of the polymerization reaction [14, 15, 21, 22], Different stereoselectivities for monomer coordination and insertion are found for the two coordination sites of the asymmetric metallocene catalysts (Fig. 6,1 and IV). The migration of the polymer chain to the monomer, coordinated at the isoselective site f I—>11), followed by a consecutive chain back-skip (at higher temperatures) to the sterically less hindered side (II >111) leads to isotactic [mmmm] sequences [11],... 

Scheme 16.2 illustrates the catalytic mechanism proposed by Muetterties and coworkers [13]. Salient features of this mechanism are the coordination of benzene in the -fashion, to give a transient Col I( 4-C, iH, i)(PR3)2 complex, and the intramolecular hydride transfer to form the allylic intermediate Co(//3-Ctl l7) (PR3)2. Hydrogen addition would give an 4-1,3-cyclohexadiene complex that ultimately releases cyclohexane via H2 addition/hydride migration steps. Complete cis stereoselectivity of hydrogen addition was demonstrated by replacing H2 with D2. 

The allene moiety of the products 70b, 72 and 75 is in each case chiral and, furthermore, an additional chiral center is created in 72a,b and 75b,e-g, thereby leading to the possible formation of diastereomers. However, the concerted nature of such sigmatropic processes should result in suprafacial migrations and formation of the racemate of only one diastereomer in each case, as shown for 74 — 75 in Scheme 7.10. High stereoselectivity can really be found for the reaction of (fc)-71a and 74b,e,f, but not for other examples of type 71 and for 74g, which lead to mixtures of diastereomers. 

The reaction of 1,2-propadienyl p-tolyl sulfoxide with tert-butylamine gave a (Z)-enamine, indicating that the C=C bond migrated from the /3,y-position to the apposition [95]. The stereoselectivity may be explained by the intramolecular hydrogen bonding in (Z)-184. 

The /3-trimethyltin-substituted alkenylborane 36 was prepared in situ by treatment of triethylborane with 1-lithio-l-hexyne to form the lithium 1-alkynyltriethyl-borate 35 followed by trimethyltin chloride (Scheme 20.9) [37]. The trimethyltin chloride-induced migration of an ethyl group from boron to the adjacent acetylenic carbon is stereoselective with the boron and the tin substituents in 36 cis to each... 

In acyclic systems the 1,4-relative stereoselectivity was controlled by the stereochemistry of the diene. Thus, oxidation of (E,E)- and (E,Z)-2,4-hexadienes to their corresponding diacetates affords dl (>88% dl) and mesa (>95% me so) 2,5-diacetoxy-3-hexene, respectively. A mechanism involving a t vans-accto xy pal I adation of the conjugated diene to give an intermediate (rr-allyljpalladium complex, followed by either a cis or trans attack by acetate on the allyl group, has been suggested. The cis attack is explained by a cis migration from a (cr-allyl)palladium intermediate. The diacetoxylation reaction was applied to the preparation of a key intermediate for the synthesis of d/-shikimic acid, 3,...

The separation mechanism is based on stereoselective ion-pair formation of oppositely charged cationic selector and anionic solutes, which leads to a difference of net migration velocities of the both enantiomers in the electric field. Thus, the basic cinchona alkaloid derivative is added as chiral counterion to the BGE. Under the chosen acidic conditions of the BGE, the positively charged counterion associates with the acidic chiral analytes usually with 1 1 stoichiometry to form electrically neutral ion-pairs, which do not show self-electrophoretic mobility but... 

In acceptor-substituted carbene complexes with hydrogen at Cp fast hydride migration to the carbene will usually occur [1094,1095]. The resulting olefins are often formed with high stereoselectivity. 1,2-Hydride migration will also occur in P-hydroxy carbene complexes, ketones being formed in high yields (Table 4.2). Intramolecular 1,5-C-H insertion can sometimes compete efficiently with 1,2-insertion [1096].
