Synthesis hetero Diels-Alder cycloaddition

The hetero-Diels-Alder reaction has also utilized dienophiles in which both reactive centers are heteroatoms. Kibayashi reported that the intramolecular hetero-Diels-Alder cycloaddition of chiral acylnitroso compounds, generated in situ from periodate oxidation of the precursor hydroxamic acid, showed a marked enhancement of the trans-selectivity in an aqueous medium compared with the selectivity in nonaqueous conditions (Eq. 12.55).125 The reaction was readily applied to the total synthesis of (—)-pumiliotoxin C (Figure 12.5).126... 

Another example is the synthesis of carpanone (23), which takes place by a two-step dimerisation of two identical moieties (22). the second step proceeding via a hetero-Diels-Alder cycloaddition [19] (Scheme 4.5). 

Oxamborolidenes. There are noteworthy advances in the design, synthesis, and study of amino acid-derived oxazaborolidene complexes as catalysts for the Mukaiyama aldol addition. Corey has documented the use of complex 1 prepared from A-tosyl (S)-tryptophan in enantioselective Mukaiyama aldol addition reactions [5]. The addition of aryl or alkyl methyl ketones 2a-b proceeded with aromatic as well as aliphatic aldehydes, giving adducts in 56-100% yields and up to 93% ee (Scheme 8B2.1, Table 8B2.1). The use of 1-trimethylsilyloxycyclopentene 3 as well as dienolsilane 4 has been examined. Thus, for example, the cyclopentanone adduct with benzaldehyde 5 (R = Ph) was isolated as a 94 6 mixture of diastereomers favoring the syn diastereomer, which was formed with 92% ee, Dienolate adducts 6 were isolated with up to 82% ee it is important that these were shown to afford the corresponding dihydropyrones upon treatment with trifuoroacetic acid. Thus this process not only allows access to aldol addition adducts, but also the products of hetero Diels-Alder cycloaddition reactions.
