Asymmetric Reduction Of Prochiral Cycloalkenones. The Influence Of Exocyclic Alkene Geometry
Cheminform(2000)
Abstract
The asymmetric reduction of a series of prochiral enones of general structure 1 using the Corey oxazaborolidine 2, leading to enantiomerically enriched allylic cycloalkanols 3 is described. The influence of alkene geometry on both the sense (R vs. S) and efficiency (% ee) of the asymmetric reduction process has been probed for two systems, (E)- and (Z)-4 and (E)- and (Z)-7, based on cyclohexanone and cyclopentanone respectively. The absolute stereochemistry of the cyclopentyl derivative (E)-8 has been established by X-ray crystallographic analysis of carbamate 10. The ability to assign an absolute configuration to allylic alcohols 3, based on the NMR methods described earlier by Riguera, has been evaluated.
