ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1021/jo0200421 | Abstract: | Addition of highly stabilized ester nucleophiles to 1,2-dioxines affords good to high yields of γ-lactones with high diastereoselectivity. Heterolytic or homolytic cleavage of the 1,2-dioxines under appropriate conditions generates the key reactive cis γ-hydroxy enones, which ultimately afford the observed γ-lactones. Diastereoselectivity is installed as a result of anti 1,4-addition by the ester enolate to the cis enones followed by intramolecular cyclization. The reaction is tolerant of a range of substitution patterns on the 1,2-dioxine while a broad range of esters are also accommodated. In addition to the synthesis of racemic γ-lactones, highly enantioenriched γ-lactones can also be synthesized when chiral cobalt(II) catalysts are employed for the initial homolytic ring-opening of the 1,2-dioxine. | Source Title: | Journal of Organic Chemistry | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/92896 | ISSN: | 00223263 | DOI: | 10.1021/jo0200421 |
