Question 1 In 1990, Evans et al. published the total synthesis of the polyether antibiotic ionomycin. The following transformation led to the synthesis of an important chiral building block. 1 1. Bu 2 BTf, Et 3, -78 C 2. Bn 2 3 58% dr = 95:5 3. 2 2, int: Tf = trifluoromethanesulfonate a) Predict the major product with the correct absolute configuration. b) Explain the stereochemical outcome of the process using appropriate three-dimensional models, and briefly discuss your proposal.
Question 2 In the same synthesis, the following transformation between amide 4 and iodide 5 was used to prepare a different chiral building block. 1. 2 equiv. LDA, TF, -78 C 2. I 4 5 6 84% dr = 98:2 a) Predict the major diastereomer witht the correct absolute configuration. b) Explain the stereochemical outcome of the process using appropriate three-dimensional models, and briefly discuss your proposal. c) Suggest a reason why Evans and coworkers might have used a different auxiliary instead of the standard oxazolidinone-derived Evans -auxiliary, to perform this reaction.
Question 3 In 1984, eathcock et al. performed extensive studies on the diasterofacial selectivity in Lewis-acid mediated reactions between allylsilanes and chiral enones. Allylation of trans-enone 7 using allyltrimethylsilane 8 gave product 9 in 82% yield as a 8:1 mixture of diastereomers favoring the cisisomer. + Si 3 1.2 equiv. TiCl 4 C 2 Cl 2, -78 C 90 min 7 8 9 83% dr = 7:1 a) Provide a detailed mechanism of this transformation taking into consideration all relevant components of the reaction mixture. b) Explain the stereochemical outcome of the transformation with appropriate three-dimensional models. Briefly discuss your proposal. When cis-enone 10 is used in the reaction, the selectivity is reversed, and the trans-isomer 11 is predominantly formed. + Si 3 1.2 equiv. TiCl 4 C 2 Cl 2, -78 C 90 min 10 8 11 70% dr = 10:1 c) The change from the trans-enone 7 to the cis-enone 10 results in the trans-isomer 11 being the major product. What might be the reason for this? int: You do not have to provide a detailed model that gives a rationale for the observed selectivity.
Question 4 In 1999, MacMillan et al. developed the following Lewis-acid catalyzed reaction between the tertiary allylic amine 12 and the acid chloride 13. 5 mol% TiCl 4, i Pr 2 Et + Cl C 2 Cl 2, 23 C 12 13 14 92% dr > 99:1 a) Provide a detailed mechanism of this transformation taking into consideration all relevant components of the reaction mixture. int: The acid chloride first reacts with the added base to form a reactive intermediate which then reacts further. b) Explain the stereochemical outcome of the process using appropriate three-dimensional models. Briefly discuss your proposal.
Question 5 In 2006, Kerr et al. published the first enantioselective synthesis of (+)-phyllantidine. In the course of the synthesis, it was necessary to perform the following selective hydroxylation of intermediate 15. PMB PMB PMB 15 C 2 PMB KMDS, TF, -78 C Ts Davis oxaziridine PMB C 2 16a (major) PMB C 2 16b (minor) 80% 16a : 16b = 3 : 1 a) Provide a detailed mechanism of this transformation taking into consideration all relevant components of the reaction mixture. int: KMDS = potassium hexamethyldisilazide PMB = para-methoxybenzyl The hydroxylation proceeds with a diastereoselectivity of 3:1 in favor of product 16a. b) Explain this stereochemical outcome with the help of a detailed conformational analysis of the intermediate, and briefly discuss your proposal.
