Contiguous stereogenic quaternary carbons: a daunting challenge in natural products synthesis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
One element of structure that invariably increases the difficulty of a chemical synthesis is the presence in the target molecule of contiguous all-carbon quaternary stereocenters. This Perspective will examine the most useful transformations and strategies devised recently for directly assembling this structural unit.

Stereoselective Synthesis of Quaternary Carbons via the Dianionic Ireland–Claisen Rearrangement
A dianionic Ireland-Claisen rearrangement of chiral, nonracemic α-methyl-β-hydroxy allylic esters has been developed that proceeds with high diastereoselectivity and provides products containing three contiguous stereogenic carbons, including a quaternary center. The potential utility of the rearrangement for complex molecule synthesis is also demonstrated.
متن کاملFormal total syntheses of classic natural product target molecules via palladium-catalyzed enantioselective alkylation
Pd-catalyzed enantioselective alkylation in conjunction with further synthetic elaboration enables the formal total syntheses of a number of "classic" natural product target molecules. This publication highlights recent methods for setting quaternary and tetrasubstituted tertiary carbon stereocenters to address the synthetic hurdles encountered over many decades across multiple compound classes...
متن کاملDiastereoselective synthesis of vicinal tertiary and N-substituted quaternary stereogenic centers by catalytic hydroalkylation of dienes
An efficient and diastereoselective (CDC)–Rh-catalyzed hydroalkylation of dienes with 1,3-oxazol-5(4H)ones is reported. Aryl and alkyl substituted dienes are converted to a,a-substituted oxazolones (24 examples) by the formation of N-substituted quaternary carbon stereogenic centers in good yields (up to 96%) and with high diastereoselectivity (>20 : 1 dr). The reaction is tolerant of a range o...

متن کاملStereocontrolled synthesis of carbocyclic compounds with a quaternary carbon atom based on SN2' alkylation of γ,δ-epoxy-α,β-unsaturated ketones.
We developed a new method for stereoselective construction of an all-carbon quaternary stereogenic center on a carbocyclic ring based on regio- and stereoselective S(N)2' alkylation reactions of γ,δ-epoxy-α,β-unsaturated cyclic ketones. Treatment of the ketones, which were readily prepared in enantiomerically pure form by means of aldol condensations between 3-ethoxy-2-cycloalkenones and α,β-ep...
