Write a chemical equation to show an example of (do not write mechanisms just the reactions): a. A cross-claisen reaction that works well under conditions of reversible enolate formation: CEt C 3 CEt a, cat. Et CEt b. An Evans aldol reaction that occurs between stereochemically matched reactants: C + u u n c. A nucleophilic addition to a chiral aldehyde that occurs in accord with the Felkin-Ahn reactivity model: C + TMS Et 2 F 3 d. A nucleophilic addition to a chiral aldehyde that occurs in accord with the Cram-Felkin reactivity model: TMS C + Et 2 F 3

Chem 330 final exam p. 4 of 10 4. (30 pts.) riefly rationalize the stereochemical outcome of the following reactions and write clear diagrams to illustrate your arguments: a. The major product of the Mukaiyama aldol reaction of A with is compound C if F 3 is used as the promoter, but compound D if TiCl 4 is used instead: F 3 C TMS TiCl4 + C A D Product C forms in accord with the Felkin-Anh model from the aldehyde-f 3 complex i : F 3 i F 3 TMS Re-face attack (Felkin- Anh) F 3 TMS C Product D forms in accord with the Felkin-Anh chelated model from the aldehyde-ticl 4 complex ii : TiCl 4 ii 2 Cl 4 Ti 2 TMS Si-face attack (chelated Felkin- Anh) 2 Cl 4 Ti TMS D b. In the presence of F 3, the Danishefsky diene undergoes a Diels-Alder-like reaction with aldehyde E, acting now as a dienophile, to give F as the major product: TMS C F 3 E F the regiochemical the diene attacks ( ) course of the reaction (+) ( ) the C= group in is in accod with (+) accord with the atomic polarization: R (+) Cram-Felkin TMS ( ) reactivity model: TMS F 3 the reaction occurs with exo topology due to the lack of secondary orbital interactions: TMS SI's!!! So: TMS exo-topology (less steric compression) prevails TMS TMS Si-face attack (Cram- Felkin) F
