Enantioselective Synthesis of Epi-Emetine Analogues: Control of the Facial Selectivity in a Three-Component Domino Knoevenagel-Hetero-Diels-Alder Reaction*
نویسندگان
چکیده
The domino Knoevenagel-hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of the aldehyde rac-8, Meldrum’s acid 2 and enol ether 3 leads to the cycloadduct rac-17 as the main product which in a second domino process was transformed into the benzoisoquinolizidine rac-18 by solvolysis, hydrogenolysis, condensation and hydrogenation; rac-18 was used as a substrate for the synthesis of the two diastereomeric epiemetine analogues 9 and 10 with > 96% ee (9) and 80% ee (10), respectively, by condensation with the phenylethylamine 23, Bischler-Napieralski reaction and “enantioselective” hydrogenation using the chiral catalyst (R,R)-26.

ABSTRACT Knoevenagel condensation of barbituric acids with aromatic aldehydes containing one or two formyl groups was carried out. 5-Arylidenebarbituric acids underwent smooth hetero-Diels-Alder (HDA) reactions with enol ethers to afford cis and trans diastereoisomers of pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4-diones and 5,5'-(1,4-phenylene)bis[2H-pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(3H)-dione] derivatives in excel...
متن کاملRecent Advances in Inverse-Electron-Demand Hetero-Diels–Alder Reactions of 1-Oxa-1,3-Butadienes
This review is an endeavor to highlight the progress in the inverse-electron-demand hetero-Diels-Alder reactions of 1-oxa-1,3-butadienes in recent years. The huge number of examples of 1-oxadienes cycloadditions found in the literature clearly demonstrates the incessant importance of this transformation in pyran ring synthesis. This type of reaction is today one of the most important methods fo...
متن کاملDirect organocatalytic asymmetric heterodomino reactions: the Knoevenagel/Diels-Alder/epimerization sequence for the highly diastereoselective synthesis of symmetrical and nonsymmetrical synthons of benzoannelated centropolyquinanes.
Amino acids and amines have been used to catalyze three component hetero-domino Knoevenagel/Diels-Alder/epimerization reactions of readily available various precursor enones (1a-l), aldehydes (2a-p), and 1,3-indandione (3). The reaction provided excellent yields of highly substituted, symmetrical and nonsymmetrical spiro[cyclohexane-1,2'-indan]-1',3',4-triones (5) in a highly diastereoselective...

Various novel pyrano [2,3-d]pyrimidines 5 and furopyrano [2,3-d]pyrimidines 7 were synthesized in 80-99% yields via a multicomponent domino Knoevenagel/hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of 1,3-dimethyl barbituric acid with an aromatic aldehyde and ethyl vinyl ether/2,3-dihydrofuran in presence of 1 mol% of indium(III) chloride. The reaction also proceeds in aqueous media without using any catalyst, b...

Chiral diamine-derived hydrogen-bond donors were evaluated for their ability to effect stereocontrol in an intramolecular hetero-Diels-Alder (HDA) reaction hypothesized in the biosynthesis of brevianamides A and B. Collectively, these results provide proof of principle that small-molecule hydrogen-bond catalysis, if even based on a hypothetical biosynthesis construct, holds significant potentia...
