Since its introduction more than 40 years ago,[1] samarium(II) iodide (SmI2) has proven to be an extremely useful and versatile reductant available to the synthetic chemist.[2] Much of this success relies on the use of certain additives, which change the coordination sphere and redox potential of the reagent,[3] allowing for the selective and efficient reduction of a wide range of functional groups. Among the additives commonly employed, proton donors are of special interest.[4] In particular, the addition of water to SmI2 [often represented as SmI2(H2O)n] has been shown to have a significant impact on its reducing capability,[5] enabling for instance the reduction of carboxylic acid derivatives[6] while avoiding the use of toxic and/or less green additives like HMPA, DMPU, or TPPA.[3b]
[7] A number of investigations have been conducted to understand the special role of water in these transformations that have revealed higher redox potentials[8] and rate enhancements for water relative to other proton sources (e.g., methanol).[9] Recent studies indicate that the mechanism for many of these processes may involve both concerted and asynchronous proton-coupled electron-transfer.[10]
Our group became interested in the use of SmI2 for the reduction of acyloxysulfones as part of a masked-alkene metathesis protocol.[11] More recently we reported that allylic benzoates 1a or 1b can be reduced with SmI2 in the presence of an alcohol additive (R′OH),[12] converging to the corresponding reduced products 2 with high regioselectivity (Scheme [1]). The regioselectivity of this reaction can be rationalized by steric considerations of the organosamarium intermediate, and a pericyclic protonation mechanism involving a samarium-bound alcohol molecule. This method then featured in our synthesis of the biologically active natural product honokiol to simultaneously install both allyl substituents found in the target compound from the bis-allylic benzoate precursor 3.[13]

Applied to trisubstituted alkene-containing substrates, we recognized that the reaction would generate a new stereocenter (*), and became interested in finding ways to develop this reaction as a new strategy for stereoselective synthesis (Scheme [2]).[14] We hypothesized that incorporation of a Lewis basic chelating element (e.g., OP) and stereodirecting group (R) would render SmI2(H2O)n reductions of compounds of type 4 both regio- and diastereoselective. Together, these groups could impart facial selectivity during the intramolecular protonation event from a chelated intermediate. The importance of chelation to our design was supported by the reduction of compound 5 to product 6, which proved to be non-diastereoselective.
Scheme 2 (A) Proposed regio- and diastereoselective allylic benzoate reductions proceeding through a chelated organosamarium intermediate. (B) The importance of chelation for stereoselectivity is supported by the non-diastereoselective reaction of compound 5, which lacks this ability.
For the chelating element we chose to focus on oxygen given the well-established oxophilicity of samarium.[15] This also introduced an obvious synthetic disconnection (i.e., a carbonyl addition) when designing the synthesis of our desired substrates. With these considerations in mind, initial investigations began with the preparation of compound 8 by zirconium-catalyzed carboalumination[16] of phenyacetylene and addition of the resulting vinylalane into Roche ester-derived aldehyde (S)-7
[17] (Scheme [3]). The stereochemistry of the newly formed hydroxyl in 8 for the major isomer is assumed to be (S) arising from chelation control,[18] but was not rigorously determined as this stereocenter proved unimportant for the subsequent eliminations (vide infra). After benzoylation, unfortunately the reduction of 9 in the presence of various additives proceeded with low diastereoselectivity (50:50 to 60:40) and only modest regioselectivity (up to 5:1).
Scheme 3 Synthesis of substrate 9 and initial screening of its reduction with SmI2(H2O)n in the presence of various additives
Scheme 4 SmI2 reduction of compound 12 and determination of absolute stereochemistry by ozonolysis of 13
Gratifyingly after PMB-removal, reduction of the corresponding free hydroxyl compound 12 proceeded with both enhanced regio- and diastereoselectivity (d.r.), presumably as a result of greater chelation to samarium,[19] although secondary coordination sphere effects (e.g., hydrogen-bond networks) cannot be ruled out at this time (Scheme [4], Table [1]).[8]
[10a] The impact of different additives on the outcome of the reaction with 12 were investigated as outlined in Table [1]. Interestingly, the highest (and nearly identical) diastereoselectivities were obtained using either anhydrous conditions (DMPU; entry 1) followed by quenching (aq NH4Cl) or in the presence of water (entry 5),[20] suggestive against an internal protonation by the hydroxyl group per se (performing the reaction in D2O resulted in >90% deuterium incorporation by 1H NMR at C5). Both reactions produced compound 13 as a 3:1 mixture of diastereomers and exclusively as the trans-isomer, however, regioselectivity for the DMPU reaction was much lower (2:1 vs 15:1 for H2O). Colder conditions (i.e., 0 °C, entry 6) also led to an erosion of regioselectivity. The reaction proved non-stereospecific to the stereochemistry of the OBz stereocenter, with identical results obtained when 12 was used as a 50:50 (entry 7) or 70:30 (entry 5, ref. Scheme [3]) mixture of diastereomers.[21] This is attractive from a synthetic standpoint, allowing us to prepare and use substrates epimeric at this position without any impact on the subsequent reductions. The amount of water used also had little effect on the d.r. of the reactions [e.g., 76:24 for 70 equiv (entry 8) vs 75:25 for 1400 equiv (entry 6)], consistent with other studies showing that even high concentrations of water do not lead to complete saturation of Sm(II).[3b] Regioselectivity, however, tended to be higher at fewer equivalents of H2O, perhaps as a result of a competing intermolecular protonation at the higher equivalents (ref. Scheme [1]). Yields also increased with decreased H2O [with the exception of 1 equiv (66% yield)], where side-products that we have tentatively assigned as radical dimers were observed.[22] The absolute configuration of the newly formed stereocenter was determined by ozonolysis of 13 and comparison of the optical activity of the resulting aldehyde 15 to that previously reported.[23] This analysis revealed that the sample was enriched in the (S)-(+)-enantiomer, indicating that the major diastereomer of 13 had the (2R,5R)-configuration. Our working model to explain the stereochemical outcome of this reaction is based on the ring-conformation energetics of a fused 5,6-bicyclic organosamarium transition state structure Sm-I,[24] involving hydroxyl chelation of samarium[25] followed by intramolecular protonation by a coordinated water molecule.

In thinking about other suitable and available aldehyde starting materials from which we could prepare additional substrates to further investigate this transformation, we were drawn to lactate-derived aldehyde 16
[26] (Scheme [5]). Using similar chemistry to that employed in the synthesis of 12, we prepared compounds 19 and 20 and investigated their reduction with SmI2(H2O)n. Treatment of 19 or 20 to our optimized conditions from experiments with 12 (e.g., 15 equiv H2O relative to SmI2, r.t.) gave the desired products 21 or 22 with complete regioselectivity and high diastereoselectivity [84:16; higher than for compound 12 (75:25)], however, in low yield due to a competing elimination and formation of the corresponding diene (presumably β-elimination of the hydroxyl group after benzoate cleavage). Increasing the equivalents of water to either 100 or 200 equivalents suppressed this elimination to some extent (presumably by increasing the rate of protonation), allowing for the isolation of 21 in 60% yield. The highest d.r. (90:10) was obtained for the n-butyl substrate 20 using 50 equivalents of water, giving compound 22 in 50% isolated yield. The absolute configuration of the newly formed stereocenter was determined by ozonolysis of the product which produced primarily (S)-(+)-aldehyde 15 by polarimetry.[23] A possible model to explain this selectivity based on that previously proposed for the one-carbon homologated samarium intermediate is shown in Scheme [5], with the organosamarium transition state structure Sm-II existing in this case as an η3-complex.[27]
Scheme 5 Synthesis and elimination of lactate-derived compounds 21 and 22
Scheme 6 Comparison of chelation size effects on SmI2(H2O)n allylic benzoate reductions. The reaction of 30 (B) gave lower diastereoselectivity than compound 25 (A), presumably due to formation of a less conformationally rigid 7-membered organosamarium chelate Sm-IV.
Comparing results for lactate substrate 19 and Roche ester-derived compound 12 demonstrates that the location of the hydroxyl group (i.e., linker length) can impact both the yield and selectivity for this reaction. To further investigate this effect, we synthesized and examined the SmI2(H2O)n reductions of compounds 25 and 30, which contain hydroxyl groups three and four carbons away (as opposed to one and two carbons for compounds 19 and 12, respectively) from the allylic benzoate position (Scheme [6]). The reduction of 25 proceeded with comparable diastereoselectivity (78:22) to compound 12, giving 26 via a mechanism presumably involving the 6-membered chelate Sm-III. The methyl group in Sm-III assumes a preferred equatorial conformation, controlling the facial selectivity of the protonation event and explaining the stereochemistry observed in the final product. It was anticipated that the reaction of compound 30 would give lower selectivity as the 7-membered organosamarium ring chelate Sm-IV would be less stable and/or less conformationally rigid than 5- and 6-membered chelate substrates.[28] Indeed, the reaction of 30 with SmI2(H2O)n gave 31 with not only a lower diastereomeric ratio (63:37), but was accompanied by large amounts of what we have assigned as radical dimers.[22] This result indicates that favorable chelation not only improves d.r., but also controls the product selectivity in these reactions.
Within the 5- and 6-membered chelate series we also set out to evaluate the impact of stereodirecting group location. To that end, several additional substrates 38a–c were prepared (Scheme [7]). Combined with compounds 12 and 25, we obtained data for SmI2(H2O)n reductions for all permutations of compounds proceeding through 5- or 6-membered chelates containing an α, β, or γ methyl stereodirecting group (Table [2]). From these results certain trends emerged. For instance, comparing results for compounds 12 and 38a (Table [2], entries 2 and 4) indicates that shifting the stereocenter away from the allylic benzoate position results in a slight loss of diastereoselectivity (75:25 for 12 vs 70:30 for 38a) with essentially no change in regioselectivity. This could potentially be explained by the difference between the primary alcohol in 12 and a secondary alcohol in 38a, with a more sterically hindered alcohol resulting in a loss of samarium chelation and therefore a less conformationally restricted transition state. However, a similar shift of the methyl group in the 6-membered chelate system (entries 3 and 5) resulted in a significant loss of diastereoselectivity (78:22 for 25 vs 57:43 for 38b). This result cannot be explained by a change in the strength of the chelating group as both 25 and 38b contain primary alcohols. Rather, it seems that having the stereodirecting group closest to the allylic benzoate position (and thus the resulting carbon-bound samarium) is optimal for maximizing the diastereoselectivity of this reaction. Further evidence is provided from the reduction of compound 38c (entry 6), with the stereodirecting methyl group now further remote, and the reaction giving low (and essentially identical to compound 38b) diastereoselectivity.

a All reactions were preformed using 105 equiv of H2O and 7 equiv of SmI2 in degassed THF at r.t. under N2.
b Determined by 1H NMR and GC-FID analysis.
c Identical results were obtained when the reaction was performed under argon.
Ozonolysis of the product mixtures obtained from the reductions of compounds 25 and 38a produced oppositely enantioenriched mixtures of aldehyde 15. From 25 we obtained primarily S-(+)-15 whereas 38a gave primarily the R-(–)-enantiomer.[23] Both results are consistent with the formation of chelated organosamarium transition state structures Sm-III and Sm-IV, with the methyl group (Me) assuming a preferred equatorial position (Scheme [8]).
Scheme 8 Determination of absolute stereochemistry for the major diastereomers produced from the reactions of compounds 25 and 38a and models Sm-III and Sm-IV to explain the outcome
We also prepared a series of compounds 50a–e in order to examine the effect of stereodirecting group identity in these reactions (Scheme [9], Table [3]). It was hypothesized that larger groups might impart better diastereoselectivities based on, for instance, larger energy differences between axial and equatorial conformations. With the exception of substrates containing a hydroxyl (50e, entry 6) or phenyl (50c, entry 4) stereodirecting group where elimination was an issue, all other substrates gave the desired products in good yield and diastereoselectivity. Increasing the size of the stereodirecting group appears to play a modest role in the diastereoselectivity of the reaction. For instance, a change in stereocenter identity from methyl (12, entry 1) to isopropyl (50a, entry 2) resulted in an increase in diastereoselectivity from 75:25 to 83:17; however, incorporation of an even larger tert-butyl group (50b, entry 3) showed no further increase but rather a small drop in diastereoselectivity (80:20). Reduction of the substrate 50c containing a phenyl stereocenter (entry 4) gave the product with a d.r. similar to that of a methyl stereodirecting group (73:27 vs 75:25) but with a lower isolated yield (25%) due to competing elimination to form the fully conjugated diene. The use of a benzyl (Bn) stereocenter (50d, entry 5) resulted in a d.r. similar to that obtained for an i-Pr group (81:19). Regioselectivity for all reactions was high (from 93:7 to 100:0) suggestive of a dominant intramolecular protonation pathway.

a All reductions were performed at r.t. using 7 equiv of SmI2 and 105 equiv of H2O.
b Determined by 1H NMR analysis.
c Isolated yield.
Based on the results in Tables 2 and 3, we sought to design an optimized substrate for maximizing diastereoselectivity in our SmI2(H2O)n allylic benzoate reductions. For instance, comparing results for compounds 12 and 25 (Table [2], entries 2 and 3) indicates a slightly higher d.r. from a 6-membered ring chelated organosamarium intermediate over a 5-membered ring chelate. Additionally, we also observed an enhancement in d.r. by incorporation of i-Pr or Bn-stereodirecting groups (Table [3], entries 2 and 5). Combining these effects we thought it might therefore lead to even further enhanced d.r. while still maintaining high yield and regioselectivity. In order to test this hypothesis, we synthesized the 6-membered chelate Bn-stereocenter containing substrate 56 (Scheme [10]). The synthesis began by alkylation of oxazolidinone 52
[29] with benzyl bromide giving 53 in 62% yield as a single diastereomer after chromatography on silica gel. DIBAL-H reduction of 53 gave aldehyde 54 to which was then added the lithium anion generated from vinyl iodide 27
[30] by lithium–halogen exchange. This reaction produced secondary alcohol 55 as a 62:38 mixture of diastereomers in 93% yield. Benzoylation followed by deprotection of the TBS ether using HF·pyr then gave the final allylic benzoate ‘optimized substrate’ 56 in 81% over the two steps.
Scheme 10 Synthesis of an optimized substrate 56 based on results from Tables 2 and 3
Surprisingly upon reduction of 56 with SmI2(H2O)n, the expected product 57 was obtained in only 32% yield with a d.r. of 74:26 and as a 69:31 mixture of regioisomers (r.r., Scheme [11]). The low yield was due in part to a significant level of side-product formation (e.g., radical dimers), which were observed in the 1H NMR spectrum of the crude reaction mixture. Other studies have shown that larger ions such as samarium prefer smaller ring systems.[31] This may explain the higher diastereo- and regioselectivity obtained with the lactate derived substrate 20 (90:10) as it had the smallest ring chelate size (nominal 4-membered[32]). Additionally as the stereodirecting group becomes larger, steric strain may be introduced into the rigid chelated organosamarium Sm-V. Formation of the 6-membered chelate Sm-V from reduction of 56 may therefore not be as favorable, leading to a greater percentage of side-products and lower diastereo- and regioselectivity. Nonetheless, sufficient amounts of 57 were obtained to determine its absolute configuration. Ozonolysis of 57 followed by reduction with NaBH4 gave (S)-(–)-58
[33] indicating the absolute stereochemistry of the major diastereomer of 57 is (3S,6R). This is consistent with a mechanism involving the 6-6 bicyclic organosamarium transition state structure Sm-V, with the benzyl stereodirecting group occupying a preferred equatorial position, followed by intramolecular proton delivery from a samarium bound water.
Scheme 11 Results from the SmI2(H2O)n reduction of an ‘optimized’ substrate 56. The d.r. and regioselectivity (r.r.) obtained suggest that the trends observed in Tables 2 and 3 may not be additive.
In summary, samarium-mediated allylic benzoate reductions can occur diastereoselectively when adjacent to a trisubstituted alkene and flanked by a stereodirecting and chelating group. The reaction can achieve high yields, regioselectivity, and diastereoselectivity (up to 90:10). Stereodirecting- and chelating group location appear to have the most significant impact on yield and selectivity in these reactions. Diastereoselectivity tends to increase with shorter chain lengths between the allylic benzoate and the chelating group (e.g., 63:37 d.r. when separated by four carbons vs 90:10 when separated by two). However, the highest diastereoselectivity obtained (90:10) by having a chelating hydroxyl immediately adjacent α to the allylic benzoate, was accompanied by competing β-elimination leading to lower yields. Increasing the size of the stereodirecting group also increased diastereoselectivity, although to a lesser extent (e.g., 75:25 for methyl vs 80:20 for tert-butyl). Combining the results from experiments investigating stereodirecting and chelating group location along with stereodirecting group identity effects, which led to the design and synthesis of an ‘optimized substrate’ containing an α-benzyl stereodirecting group and a hydroxyl group that would generate a 6-membered ring chelate organosamarium intermediate. Reduction of this compound with SmI2(H2O), however, proceeded with low yield (32%) of the desired product and modest diastereoselectivity (74:26). The low yield was the result of moderate regioselectivity (69:31) and the formation of side-products that we assume may include radical dimerization processes. Formation of larger-ring-chelated organosamarium intermediates containing sterically demanding groups might therefore not be favorable. Models have been proposed to account for these results based on ring-conformation considerations of a chelated organosamarium intermediate and a mechanism involving intramolecular protonation by a samarium-bound water.

To a round-bottomed flask open to air containing 13, 21, 26, or 39a in DCM (0.1 M relative to substrate) at –78 °C, O3 was bubbled into the solution until the reaction mixture turned to an electric blue color. The reaction was left at this temperature without stirring for 5 min and then N2 was bubbled though the reaction until the solution became colorless. The reaction was quenched with Me2S (5 equiv), warmed to r.t., and stirred for 1 h. The reaction mixture was washed with brine (15 mL) and extracted with DCM (3 × 15mL). The combined organic extracts were dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo. Aldehyde 15 was then isolated by flash chromatography on silica gel; Rf
