2- PhenyI-2-butene

Not much is currently known concerning diastereoselective addition of metal enolates to ketones 48,108), but selectivities are expected to be lower. In case of titanium enolates, several examples have been studied 77). The reaction shown in Equation 67 involves an ester-enolate21 and proceeds strictly in a 1,2 manner with 90% diastereoselectivity. The observation is significant because similar reactions with aldehydes are essentially stereo-random77). Also, the lithium analog of 203 affords a 1 1 mixture of diastereomers. Diastereoface-selectivity in Equation 67 is not an exception, because 203 adds to acetophenone and pinacolone to afford 85 15 and >76 24 diastereomer mixtures, respectively 77). Although stereochemical assignments have not been made in all cases, the acetophenone adduct was converted stereospecifically into the p-lactone which was decarboxylated to yield an 85 15 mixture of Z- and E-2-phenyi-2-butene 77). 

The tosylate of (2J, 35)-3-phenyI-2-butanoI undergoes E2 elimination on treatment with sodium ethoxide to yield (Z)-2-phenyI-2-butene. Explain, using Newman projections.

Disubstituted furans (130) can be obtained by treatment of j8-alkoxy- and j8-arylthio-a,j8-unsaturated ketones, for example 3-methoxy-l-phenyI-2-buten-l-one (128) or 3-ethylthio-l-phenyl-2-buten-l-one (129), with dimethylsulfonium methylide (79JHC815, 69TL679). The possible reaction pathway (Scheme 27) shows the initially formed epoxides as rearranging by ring opening at the tertiary epoxide carbon atom.
