The boron-mediated ketone-ketone aldol reaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
The first examples of the directed, boron-mediated aldol reaction between different ketones are presented. Transformation of a variety of ketones to their corresponding boron enolates with Chx2BCl/Et3N, followed by reaction with acceptor ketones in diethyl ether, and oxidation of the resultant boron aldolate (H2O2, MeOH/pH 7 buffer), provided the aldol addition products. The reaction was most facile when cyclic ketones were used, with the highest yields obtained for the reaction of boron enolates with cyclohexanone as the acceptor. ———

1,5-asymmetric induction in boron-mediated beta-alkoxy methyl ketone aldol addition reactions.
This article presents studies that illustrate beta-alkoxy methyl ketone-derived boron enolates undergo diastereoselective aldol addition to afford the 1,5-anti diol relationship. The stereochemical outcome of this reaction is documented to be general for a variety of beta-alkoxy methyl ketone analogues and aldehyde partners. The double stereodifferentiating reactions of these enolates with chir...
متن کاملTotal Synthesis of Aplyronine C
A highly stereocontrolled total synthesis of the cytotoxic marine macrolide aplyronine C is described. The route exploits aldol methodology to install the requisite stereochemistry and features a crucial boron-mediated aldol coupling of an N-vinylformamide-bearing methyl ketone with a macrocyclic aldehyde to introduce the full side chain. The synthesis of two novel C21-C34 side chain analogs is...
متن کاملOrganic Synthesis: Aldol Condensation Reaction
In an "aldol addition" reaction an enol or enolate of an aldehyde or ketone reacts with a second aldehyde or ketone forming a new carbon-carbon bond. This makes the aldol reaction an important reaction for organic synthesis. Originally, the aldol reaction used ethanal (see below) and therefore the product contained both an aldehyde and an alcohol functional group; thus it became known as the al...

متن کاملTotal synthesis of auripyrone A using a tandem non-aldol aldol/Paterson aldol process as a key step.
Extensive NMR investigation of the compounds revealed a complex spiroketal core capped at one end by a tetrasubstituted g-pyrone, residing in an anomerically favored configuration wherein all but the substituents are positioned equatorially except for the C10 methyl and the C11 acyloxy groups. Auripyrones A (1) and B (2) showed cytotoxicity against HeLa S3 cells with IC50 values of 260 and 480 ...
