Abstract

Thia-Claisen rearrangements of S-allylic ketene N,S-­acetals were carried out using substrates with an external allylic stereogenic centre. High levels of diastereoselectivity were observed only when a bromine substituent was introduced onto the double bond.

Key words

sulfur - bromine - diastereoselectivity - pericyclic reactions - rearrangements

A mixture of thioamide 15 (116 mg, 0.61 mmol), bromide 14b (200 mg, 0.67 mmol), MeCN (1 mL) and 4 Å molecular sieves (250 mg) was stirred under an argon atmosphere for 4 d. Further MeCN (2 mL) was added and the mixture warmed to 35 ˚C. Et3N (94 µL, 0.67 mmol) was added and the resulting solution was stirred at 35 ˚C for 7 h. The mixture was cooled to r.t., diluted with CH2Cl2 (30 mL) and washed with 2% citric acid (2 × 50 mL). The combined aqueous washings were extracted with CH2Cl2 (50 mL), and the combined organic layers were dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo to give the crude product (190 mg, 76%). Flash chromatography (SiO2; EtOAc-PE, 1:19) afforded 18b (130 mg, 52%) as a pale yellow oil; Rf 0.43 (EtOAc-PE, 15:85); [α]D ²0 +31.5 (c = 1.08, CHCl3).

An alternative explanation is that both products arise from transition states in which the methine C-H bond of the acetonide eclipses the double bond, but the selectivity for reaction anti to the allylic C-O bond is imperfect. Such an explanation, however, does not account for the difference between the brominated and nonbrominated substrates.
