3 Claisen Variant to Accommodate VQCs ~Source eaction: Cycloalkenyl Allyl Ether Claisen ' ' ' ' ' ' n = 0, 1 =, ' =, n C n *Very slow; side reactions (deallylation or aromatization) are competitive at required temps. *2 Carbonyl groups produced cannot always be distinguished easily in later chemistry. n ~Modified eaction: Carbomethoxyhydrazone derivative (and anionic version) ' ' n *6 to 31-fold rate increase for the hydrazone derivative, and a further 15 to 145-fold increase for the anionic version. This allows the reaction to be cooled to 66 C. a + vs. K + rates are not significantly different. *Prenyl ( = ) derivatives are slower, but not a huge difference. Complete allylic rearrangement is observed, verifying the [3,3]-sigmatropic nature of the transformation. *For the hydrazone, / 2 is the best solvent system. For the anionic version, heating in aprotic solvents is best. ' ' n ' ' n J. rg. Chem. 1983, 48,

4 Enediyne Cyclization ~A neat reaction, though not very general in its application. TP CpCo(C) 2, m-xylene hν, Δ, 60 % ( % 1) CoCp (air stable) Si 2 61 % 1 (eacts with 2 ) *eaction works with 1-mono; 1,1- or 1,2-di; and 1,1,2-trisubstituted patterns as well. *Proceeds with complete specificity relative to the starting olefin.

Aprotic conditions for Michael rxns only possible in cases where product enolate is more stable than the initial enolate. *Li + coordination may be accelerating cyanoester cases. *Yields generally in 90s, except in cases of remote steric interference. **Give double-michael products with 4 contiguous QCs. ***Unreactive in VQC-forming reactions. C C C C J. rg. Chem. 1986, 51,

6 Synthesis of examethylglutaric Acid ~ Based on QC methodologies with formation of a tertiary carbocation followed by C-C bond formation. This approach generally fails for VQCs because the entropic and steric costs outweigh the energy gained by σ-bond formation. Cl (> 2 equivs) TiCl 4, C 2 Cl 2-75 C, 72% Cl I 4, u 2 CCl 4, C 3 C 2 64% 40% K (aq)/ i-pr (1:1), 91% C C C 2 2, Et 2 87% C C *This approach is successful in this case because the reverse reaction in step 1 is prevented by fixing the 2 fragments in a ring. *The aromatic ring can be readily cleaved and the resulting anhydride opened to form a linear system. J. rg. Chem. 1988, 53,

7 Thio-Claisen earrangement ~Why the thio-claisen? Because they couldn't make the correct -allyl compound. Auxiliary provides selectivity as well. Ph S 1. LDA 2.

Ph eed high temperature to overcome interaction. o / interaction, allowing S for diastereoselectivity observed. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1994, 116,

8 "Desymmetrization" of Cyclic Ketones ~ing cleavage reaction involving an intermolecular aldol and subsequent ketalization and fragmentation. BF 3 Et 2, PhC Ph n n n K 2 C 3 n = (,)-C 6 4 = n = 0, 9% yield, 6% ee n = 1, 15% yield, 34% ee *xn without QCs gives 34% yield and 26% ee for the 5-membered ring case and 30% yield and 49% ee for the 6-membered ring case. *The ees are probably better for the non-qc case because there is better facial bias for the Aldol step. It is difficult to determine by models whether the convex face is still more open when it has VQCs on it. Tetrahedron 2004, 60,

10 Arene-Alkyne Cycloadditions -- Total Synthesis of (+)-Silphinene ~ ta reactivity pattern dictates resultant framework(s). Although a 1:1 mixture of isomers is observed, the total synthesis is only 3 steps, and multi-gram quantities of the natural product can be prepared in a few days. 9 hν 9 Li 9 9 Li, 2 *Mode of reactivity (meta vs. ortho or para) is controlled by the electronics of the arene and olefin. *egioselectivity is "controlled" by the donor alkyl groups on the olefin. *Endo/exo control results from strain (orbitals for endo TS do not easily overlap). *C(9) stereocontrol: (1:1) (+)-Silphinene = aromatic ring (side view) 9 9 Wender, P.A.
