Copper-Catalyzed Stille Cross-Coupling Reaction and Application in the Synthesis of the Spliceostatin Core Structure.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: An efficient palladium-free Stille cross-coupling reaction of allylic bromides and functionalized organostannylfuran using catalytic copper halide has been developed. The coupling reaction was optimized using CuI and low catalyst loading (down to 5 mol %). The reaction was conveniently carried out at ambient temperature in the presence of inorganic base to afford the coupling product in good-to-excellent yields. The utility of this reaction was demonstrated in the synthesis of a furan with sensitive functionalities. A sulfolene moiety was utilized as a masking group for the sensitive diene. Noyori asymmetric reduction, Achmatowicz reaction, and Kishi reduction steps converted sulfolene to a highly substituted tetrahydropyran intermediate used in the synthesis of the highly potent antitumor agents, spliceostatins, and their derivatives.
