Enantioselective Intermolecular [2+2] Photocycloaddition Reaction of Cyclic Enones and Its Application in a Synthesis of (-)-Grandisol.


ABSTRACT: The intermolecular [2+2] photocycloaddition of typical cyclic ?,?-unsaturated enones, such as 2-cyclohexenone, with olefins was performed in moderate to good yields (42-82%) and with high enantioselectivity (82%-96% ee). An unusual substitution pattern at the chiral oxazaborolidine-AlBr3 Lewis acid complex that promotes the reaction was found to be crucial for the success of the reaction. The method was applied to the enantioselective synthesis of the monoterpene (-)-grandisol, which could be accomplished in six steps and with an overall yield of 13% starting from 3-methyl-2-cyclohexenone.

The intermolecular [2+2] photocycloaddition of typical cyclic α,β-unsaturated enones, such as 2-cyclohexenone, with olefins was performed in moderate to good yields (42-82%) and with high enantioselectivity (82%-96% ee). An unusual substitution pattern at the chiral oxazaborolidine-AlBr<sub>3</sub> Lewis acid complex that promotes the reaction was found to be crucial for the success of the reaction. The method was applied to the enantioselective synthesis of the monoterpene (-)-grandisol, which  ...[more]
