The first examples of catalytic cross-metathesis (CM) reactions that furnish Z-(pinacolato)allylboron and Z-(pinacolato)alkenylboron compounds are disclosed. Products are generated with high Z selectivity by the use of a W-based monoaryloxide pyrrolide (MAP) complex (up to 91% yield and >98:2 Z:E). The more sterically demanding Z-alkenylboron species are obtained in the presence of Mo-based MAP complexes in up to 93% yield and 97% Z selectivity. Z-selective CM with 1,3-dienes and aryl olefins are reported for the first time. The utility of the approach, in combination with catalytic cross coupling, is demonstrated by a concise and stereoselective synthesis of anticancer agent combretastatin A-4.
首次披露了催化交叉复分解(CM)反应的实例,这些反应提供了 Z-(频哪醇)烯丙基硼和 Z-(频哪醇)烯基硼化合物。通过使用基于 W 的单芳氧基吡咯烷(MAP)配合物(高达 91%的产率和> 98:2 Z:E),可以高 Z 选择性地生成产物。在存在基于 Mo 的 MAP 配合物的情况下,更具空间位阻的 Z-烯基硼物种以高达 93%的产率和 97%的 Z 选择性获得。首次报道了 Z-选择性的 CM 与 1,3-二烯和芳基烯烃的反应。该方法与催化交叉偶联的结合,通过抗癌剂 combretastatin A-4 的简洁和立体选择性合成得到了证明。
