Neighboring-group participation of an ester enabled stereocontrol in substitution reactions of acyclic acetals. The ester group formed a -fused dioxolenium ion intermediate, which underwent a substitution reaction at the acetal carbon atom to afford the product with high diastereoselectivity. Neighboring-group participation was confirmed by isolating dioxolane products resulting from nucleophilic addition at C-2 of a 1,3-dioxolenium ion intermediate. Using a pivaloate ester as the participating group in combination with strong nucleophiles produced substitution products with diastereoselectivities of ≥90:10.
酯基的邻基参与实现了非环缩醛取代反应的立体控制。酯基形成了一个 - 稠合的二氧戊环翁离子中间体,该中间体在缩醛碳原子上发生取代反应,以高非对映选择性得到产物。通过分离亲核加成在 1,3-二氧戊环翁离子中间体的 C-2 上得到的二氧杂环戊烷产物,证实了邻基参与。使用特戊酸酯作为参与基团与强亲核试剂结合,得到了非对映选择性≥90:10 的取代产物。
