Protecting groups, deprotection allyl esters

Another method for deallylation of ally esters is the transfer of the allyl group to reactive nucleophiles. Amines such as morpholine are used[415-417], Potassium salts of higher carboxylic acids are used as an accepter of the allyl group[418]. The method is applied to the protection and deprotection of the acid function in rather unstable /f-lactam 664[419,420]. 

Allyl carbonate esters are also useful hydroxy-protecting groups and are introduced using allyl chloroformate. A number of Pd-based catalysts for allylic deprotection have been developed.209 They are based on a catalytic cycle in which Pd° reacts by oxidative addition and activates the allylic bond to nucleophilic substitution. Various nucleophiles are effective, including dimedone,210 pentane-2,4-dione,211 and amines.212... 

The sulfone moiety was reductively removed and the TBS ether was cleaved chemoselectively in the presence of a TPS ether to afford a primary alcohol (Scheme 13). The alcohol was transformed into the corresponding bromide that served as alkylating agent for the deprotonated ethyl 2-(di-ethylphosphono)propionate. Bromination and phosphonate alkylation were performed in a one-pot procedure [33]. The TPS protecting group was removed and the alcohol was then oxidized to afford the aldehyde 68 [42]. An intramolecular HWE reaction under Masamune-Roush conditions provided a macrocycle as a mixture of double bond isomers [43]. The ElZ isomers were separated after the reduction of the a, -unsaturated ester to the allylic alcohol 84. Deprotection of the tertiary alcohol and protection of the prima-... 

Olefination of the Aldehyde 178 using a stabilized Wittig reagent followed by protecting group chemistry at the lower branch and reduction of the a,p-unsaturated ester afforded the allylic alcohol 179 (Scheme 29). The allylic alcohol 179 was then converted into an allylic chloride and the hydroxyl function at the lower branch was deprotected and subsequently oxidized to provide the corresponding aldehyde 161 [42]. The aldehyde 161 was treated with trimethylsilyl cyanide to afford the cyanohydrin that was transformed into the cyano acetal 180. The decisive intramolecular alkylation was realized by treatment of the cyano acetal 180 with sodium bis(trimethylsi-lyl)amide. Subsequent treatment of the alkylated cyano acetal 182 with acid (to 183) and base afforded the bicyclo[9.3.0]tetradecane 184.
