γ-Allenyl Allyl Benzothiazole Sulfonyl Anions Undergo cis-Selective (Sylvestre) Julia Olefinations

Abstract

γ-Allenyl allyl benzothiazolyl sulfones 8 and ent-8 provided allenyl trienes and polyenes with cis-selectivities ranging from 71:29 to 100:0 upon condensation (NaHMDS, THF, -78 °C to 25 ºC) with a variety of unsaturated aldehydes.

Julia olefination - stereoselectivity - allenes - polyenes

Determined by 2D HMQC-TOCSY. Although the geometry of 1,ω-bis(tributylstannyl)-1,3,5,7,9-decapentaene (16) reported by our group was in error (ref.⁹), the structures of the final carotenoids β,β-carotene and (3R,3′R)-zeaxanthin obtained by Stille coupling of 16 with the corresponding trienyliodides are correct. Isomerization takes place at the carotenoid stage by the action of palladium, since reagent 16 is stable to the Stille coupling reaction conditions.
