A novel bis-Lactonisation of naphtho- and phenanthro-1,2-dioxines with malonate nucleophiles. Synthesis (5) : 668-672. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | Malonate nucleophiles add in a conjugate fashion to substituted naphtho- and phenanthro-1,2-dioxines to furnish functionalised bis-lactones in high yield and with high de. The basicity of the malonate nucleophile is sufficiently mild to rearrange the 1,2-dioxines to yield the transient cis-δhydroxy enone species with no further Kornblum-DeLaMare rearrangement. The cis-δhydroxy enones readily undergo conjugate addition by malonate nucleophiles in a highly diastereoselective fashion. An intramolecular domino cyclisation then ensues yielding the observed bis-lactones. The relative configuration of the bis-lactone series was established by 1- and 2-D 1H, 13C NMR techniques and further confirmed by single crystal X-ray analysis. | Source Title: | Synthesis | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/92973 | ISSN: | 00397881 |
