Pyranyl Heterocycles from Inverse Electron Demand Hetero [4+2] Cyclo­addition Reactions of Chiral Allenamides as a New Chiral Template for Constructing C-Glycoside Substrates

Abstract

A useful sequence involving stereoselective functionalization of the two olefins in pyranyl heterocycles derived from inverse electron demand hetero [4+2] cycloadditions of chiral allenamides is described here. This sequence constitutes stereo­selectively dihydroxylation or hydroboration-oxidation of the steri­cally accessible C5 exocyclic olefin followed by hydroboration-oxidation of the endocyclic olefin at C2/C3. The ultimate success in the removal of the C6 chiral auxiliary completes the demonstration of the concept of employing these unique hetero cycloadducts as chiral templates for constructing highly functionalized pyrans or C-glycosides.

9BBN Hydroboration-Oxidation of 5. To a solution of 29.0 mg of pyran 5 (0.071 mmol) in 3 mL of anhyd THF at r.t. was added 0.48 mL of 9BBN (2.5 equiv, 0.5 M solution in THF, 0.18 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at r.t. for 1 h, and was quenched with excess of 30% aq H₂O₂ and 15% aq NaOH via drop wise addition. After which, the reaction mixture was refluxed for 3 h. The solution was then cooled to r.t. and extracted with Et₂O (2 × 10 mL) and EtOAc (10 mL). The combined extracts were dried over Na₂SO₄, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. Silica gel flash chromatography (60% EtOAc in hexanes) of the crude led to the desired alcohol 6 (22.2 mg, 73% yield).

When substituents at C5 and C6 are trans in these pyranyl heterocycles such as 21, we observed strong NOE between protons at C2 and C3 presumably because these two protons are not necessarily locked in di-axial relationship unlike those in pyrans where C5 and C6 substituents are cis.
