Stereodivergent Approach to the Avermectins Based on “Super Silyl” Directed Aldol Reactions
نویسندگان
چکیده
A stereodivergent approach to the spiroketal fragment of the avermectins is described. The strategy utilizes a sequence of three aldol reactions directed by the tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl "super silyl" group. Central to this strategy is that each aldol reaction can be controlled to allow access to either diastereomer in high stereoselectivity, thereby affording 16 stereoisomers along the same linear skeleton. The aldol products can be transformed into spiroketals, including an advanced intermediate in the total synthesis of avermectin A1a.

A highly diastereoselective “super silyl” governed aldol reaction: synthesis of α,β-dioxyaldehydes and 1,2,3-triols
A highly diastereoselective approach for the synthesis of protected a,b-dioxyaldehydes derived from (Z)tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl “super silyl” enol ethers is described. A general and highly syn-stereoselective aldol reaction directed by the “super silyl” group catalyzed by triflimide (HNTf2) is developed providing a,bdioxyaldehydes and 1,2,3-triol fragments which can be a useful platform for th...
متن کاملChemoselective silyl transfer in the Mukaiyama aldol reaction promoted by super silyl Lewis acid.
In the silyl Lewis acid-promoted Mukaiyama aldol reaction, the steric and electronic properties of the silyl group on the silyl Lewis acid influence the reaction mechanism and product distribution. When super silyl triflates such as (TMS)3SiOTf and (TES)3SiOTf are used as Lewis acids, the silyl group of the silyl enol ether chemoselectively transfers to the product. The mechanistic details have...
متن کاملThe Mukaiyama aldol reaction: 40 years of continuous development.
A directed cross-aldol reaction of silyl enol ethers with carbonyl compounds, such as aldehydes and ketones, promoted by a Lewis acid, a reaction which is now widely known as the Mukaiyama aldol reaction. It was first reported in 1973, and this year marks the 40th anniversary. The directed cross-aldol reactions mediated by boron enolates and tin(II) enolates also emerged from the Mukaiyama labo...
متن کاملA Tandem Enol Silane Formation-Mukaiyama Aldol Reaction Mediated by TMSOTf
A slight excess of silyl trifluoromethanesulfonate mediates a tandem enol silane formation-Mukaiyama aldol reaction in the presence of Hunig’s base. Preformation of the enol silane is unnecessary for efficient reactions, which proceed in 75-97% yield for the addition of aryl methyl ketones and acetate esters to non-enolizable aldehydes. Mechanistic data suggests that free amine is crucial for f...
