Nonracemically ligated copper hydride can be used to effect tandem S2'/1,2-reductions of racemic Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) acetates to access enantioenriched chiral allylic alcohols with defined olefin geometry. MBH esters, including those with β-substitution, can be transformed to stereodefined enoates by taking advantage of a bulky, oligomeric, in situ generated trialkoxysiloxane leaving group. Finally, an atypical conversion of easily arrived at MBH alcohol derivatives to nonracemic allylic alcohols is disclosed.
非对映选择性键合的铜氢化物可用于对映体 Morita-Baylis-Hillman(MBH)乙酸酯进行串联 S2'/1,2-还原,以获得具有确定烯烃几何形状的手性烯丙基醇。MBH 酯,包括具有β取代基的酯,可以通过利用体积庞大的、齐聚的、原位生成的三烷氧基硅烷离去基团转化为立体定义的烯酸酯。最后,揭示了一种将易于获得的 MBH 醇衍生物转化为非对映体烯丙基醇的非典型转化。
