Consecutive Stille-coupling–hydrosilylation–Diels–Alder reaction of 17-iodo-5α-androst-16-ene

Journal of Molecular Catalysis A: Chemical, 2001

Homogeneous catalytic hydrosilylation of pregn-16-en-20-yne (produced from 17-iodo-5␣-androst-16-ene by Stillecoupling) with triethylsilane is investigated in the presence of various Pt, Pd and Rh complexes. The stereoselective Diels-Alder reaction of one of the main products (21-triethylsilyl-pregna-16,20-diene, 3b) led to a new pentacyclic steroidal derivative. The other steroidal diene (20-triethylsilyl-pregna-16,20-diene, 3a) undergoes cycloaddition only in the presence of a hydrosilylation catalyst, giving the same cyclization product. The catalytic isomerization of 3a and 3b as precondition for cycloaddition was supposed.

Synthesis of oxa-bridged derivatives from Diels–Alder bis-adducts of butadiene and 1,2,3,4-tetrahalo-5,5-dimethoxycyclopentadiene

Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2010

Bis-adducts of 1,2,3,4-tetrahalo-5,5-dimethoxycyclopentadiene and 1,3-butadiene, generated in situ from 3-sulfolene, have been synthesized in excellent yield. Ruthenium catalyzed oxidation of the bis-adducts followed by a one-pot transformation of the resulting α-diketone furnished oxa-bridged compounds. Unambiguous stereochemical assignments of both diastereomeric series are reported.

Direct Enantioselective Synthesis of Bicyclic Diels–Alder Products

Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis, 2007

The direct amine-catalyzed enantioselective Diels-Alder reaction between a,b-unsaturated cyclic ketones and nitroolefins is presented. A simple diamine catalyzes the asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction with high stereoselectivity and furnishes the corresponding Diels-Alder adducts in good to high yields with > 25:1 dr and up to 86 % ee. The study demonstrates a convenient entry to functionalized bi-cyclic molecules contaning four stereocenters that are formed with excellent diastreoselectivity and good to high enantioselectivity.

Molecular Lego. 1. Substrate-Directed Synthesis via Stereoregular Diels-Alder Oligomerizations

Journal of the …, 1992

The diastereoselective synthesis and structural characterization of a wide range of wholly-synthetic cyclic and acyclic polyacene derivatives has been achieved. These novel compounds are notable for (i) their rigidity, (ii) their highly-ordered structures, and (iii) the high stereochemical precision which governs their formation. A key feature in the success of the synthetic methodology described is the development of a repetitive Diels-Alder reaction sequence in which three distinct levels of diastereoselectivity are expressed during each cycloaddition involving bisdiene and bisdienophilic building blocks, i.e., each cycloaddition occurs with treble diastereoselectivity. Both the bisdienes and bisdienophiles are based upon the (7-oxa)bicyclo[2.2.l]heptane ring system in which the stereoelectronic characteristics, that are inherent within this rigid bicyclic framework, are used to dictate their subsequent modes of reaction. Importantly, the bisdienes 7 and 18 exhibit different rates of monoand bisaddition of dienophiles to their two exocyclic s-cis-butadiene units. Therefore, a rational, stepwise oligomerization procedure for the synthesis of [12]cyclacene derivatives has been employed in which sequential use is made of thermally-promoted and high pressure-promoted cycloadditions to assemble the desired molecular structures. The exceptionally high solubilities exhibited by many of these adducts in organic solvents have (i) assisted in their isolation and purification by chromatography, (ii) aided their structural characterization by spectroscopic techniques, and (iii) enhanced their potential for further synthetic elaboration. Extending the size of the bisdiene building block from 7 to 26 has allowed the synthesis of a family of undecacene derivatives which are capable of forming [ 14lcyclacene derivatives. The treble diastereoselectivity that is observed in each cycloaddition between the bisdiene and bisdienophilic building blocks is identified as a kinetically-controlled transition state phenomenon. Bond formation proceeds with the maximum staggering of the bonds under construction with respect to the vicinal bonds located at the bridgehead positions on the bisdienophiles and, subsequently, with the minimization of torsional strain within the rigid bicyclic framework of the dienophile in the transition state. The potential importance of these molecular beltlike compounds as precursors to a wide range of novel hydrocarbon molecules-such as the cyclacenes, the collarenes, and the beltenes-is illustrated by the synthetic progression from the [ 12lcyclacene derivative we have dubbed kohnkene 13 to [ 12lcollarene 55. Finally, it is suggested that, by extending the role played in the design processes of molecular structures to include informationsuch as stereoelectronic factors and pyramidalization-that is inherently present within certain structural types, both the controlled creation of chirality and the rapid assembly of highly-ordered three-dimensional molecular structures may be preprogramed.
