The first examples of catalyst-controlled stereoselective macrocyclic ring-closing metathesis reactions that generate Z-enoates as well as (E,Z)- or (Z,E)-dienoates are disclosed. Reactions promoted by 3.0-10 mol % of a Mo-based monoaryloxide pyrrolide complex proceed to completion within 2-6 h at room temperature. The desired macrocycles are formed in 79:21 to >98:2 Z/E selectivity; stereoisomerically pure products can be obtained in 43-75% yield after chromatography. Utility is demonstrated by application to a concise formal synthesis of the natural product (+)-aspicilin.
首次公开了通过催化剂控制的立体选择性大环闭环复分解反应生成Z-烯酸酯以及(E,Z)-或(Z,E)-二烯酸酯的实例。由3.0-10 mol%的钼基单芳氧基吡咯化物络合物促进的反应在室温下2-6小时内完成。所需的大环以79:21至>98:2的Z/E选择性形成;经色谱分离后,可获得产率为43-75%的立体异构纯产物。通过应用于天然产物(+)-阿斯匹林的简洁形式合成证明了其实用性。
