Abstract

Stereoselective addition of aldehydes 4 to metallated 1-(1-cycloalkenyl)methyl N,N-diisopropylcarbamates 1 gave cyclic homoaldol adducts 6. By applying the (-)-sparteine method, enantiomerically enriched products were obtained. These were oxidatively cyclized to diastereomerically pure γ-lactones 8 via the γ-lactol ethers 7. After deprotonation of γ-lactones 8 with lithium hexamethyldisilazide, a further substitution was achieved. By trapping the lactone enolates 11 with β-naphthylmethyl bromide, single dia­stereomers of γ-lactones 12 were produced.

Key words

asymmetric synthesis - 1-alkenyl carbamates - homoaldol addition - (-)-sparteine - bicyclic lactones

In related cases, we recently observed an oxidative dimer of 1. We suspect that a one-electron transfer from titanium to the allylic anion is the cause. The use of ClTi(NEt2)3 as exchange reagent is recommended.3d
