An unusual room temperature β-lactone decarboxylation facilitated a five-step enantioselective formal synthesis of the cyclopentane core of an estrogen receptor β-agonist. A computational study probed the underlying factors facilitating unprecedented, rapid decarboxylation. Aryl substitution promotes faster reaction in the retro-[2+2] as a result of conjugative stabilization with the forming olefin. Additionally, the configuration of the α-ester in these fused β-lactones leads to differential decarboxylation rates.
一种不寻常的室温β-内酯脱羧反应促进了雌激素受体β激动剂环戊烷核心的五步对映选择性形式合成。一项计算研究探究了促进前所未有的快速脱羧反应的潜在因素。芳基取代由于与形成的烯烃的共轭稳定作用,促进了逆-[2+2]反应中更快的反应。此外,这些稠合β-内酯中α-酯的构型导致不同的脱羧速率。
