15diimide in 40 ml. of dichloromethane was added dropwise over a 3O-min. period. The resetion mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 hr., followed by removal of the precipitated N,N'dicyclohexylm by filtration. The filtrate was concentmted by dietillation and the residue was dissolved in benzene, and p d through a column ( 1 ' X 1 0 ' ) of Florisil in benzene. The product, yelloworange crystals, m.p. 37-40', weighed 39 g. (100%) and exhibited a carbonyl absorption at 1790 em.-' in the infrared spectrum of a melted film. A d . Calcd. for CIIH&N: C, 70.58; H, 4.85; N, 7.48. Found: C, 70.85; H, 5.02; N, 7.54. N-(o-Chlozsphenyl)iso"ide. To a slurry of 45 g. (0.2 mole) of N-(o-chlorophenyl)"ic acid in 1 1. of dichlore methane, a solution of 41.2 g. (0.2 mole) of N,N'-dicycl+ hexylearbodiimide in 40 ml. of dichloromethane was added dropwise over a Sin. period. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 hr., followed by filtration of the N,N'-dicyclohexylurea and distillation of the solvent under reduced pressure. The residue in benzene was passed through a column of Florid and the eluates were concentrated to yield 40 g. (97%) of yellow cry&&, m.p. 60-66". Recrystdlization of a sample from 1:1 benzenepetroleum ether @.p. 39-54') gave an analytical sample, m.p 65-67'. A d . Calcd. for CloH&tNCl: C, 57.85; H, 2.91; N, 6.75. Found: C, 58.35; H, 2.73; N, 6.58. The infrared spectrum of a liquid f i l m showed strong carbonyl absorption at 1800 an.-' I 8 -h of N-n-lnbtyliaomaleimide to N-n-hiyl-"ide. A solution of 5.0 g. (0.033 mole) of N-n-butylisomaleimide, 6.06 g. (0.06 mole) of triethylamine, and 3.6 g. (0.06 mole) of acetic acid in 100 ml. of benzene was heated a t reflux for 90 min. The solution was cooled, washed with water, dilute d u m hydroxide solution, and again with water. The bemene was removed under reduced pres-sure and the midue was distilled to yield a clear liquid, b.p. 50-55" (0.5 mm.). Vapor phase chromatographic analysis of this material showed it to be a mixture containing 40% N-n-butylisomaleimide, 59.4% N-n-butylmaleimide and 0.6% of an unknown impurity. The recovery Isomerization of N-phen&aom&imide to N -p h e n y l d eimide. A mixture of 5.0 g. (0.029 mole) of N-phenylisomaleimide, 1.0 g. (0.012 mole) of anhydrous d u m acetate and 15 ml. of acetic anhydride was heated on the steam bath for 1 hr. After the mixture had cooled to 2 5 O , it was poured into 100 ml. of water causing long, yellow needles to separate. These were collected and dried, 4.5 g. (90%) m.p. 90-91'. A mixture melting point with an authentic sample of N-phenylmaleimide was undepressed. When d u m acetate was absent in this reaction, the starting material was recovered.
A widely applicable, practical, and scalable strategy for efficient and enantioselective synthesis of β,γ-unsaturated ketones that contain an α-stereogenic center is disclosed. Accordingly, aryl, heteroaryl, alkynyl, alkenyl, allyl, or alkyl ketones that contain an α-stereogenic carbon with an alkyl, an aryl, a benzyloxy, or a siloxy moiety can be generated from readily available starting materials and by the use of commercially available chiral ligands in 52−96% yield and 93:7 to >99:1 enantiomeric ratio. To develop the new method, conditions were identified so that high enantioselectivity would be attained and the resulting αsubstituted NH-ketimines, wherein there is strong CN → B(pin) coordination, would not epimerize before conversion to the derived ketone by hydrolysis. It is demonstrated that the ketone products can be converted to an assortment of homoallylic tertiary alcohols in 70−96% yield and 92:8 to >98:2 drin either diastereomeric formby reactions with alkyl-, aryl-, heteroaryl-, allyl-, vinyl-, alkynyl-, or propargyl-metal reagents. The utility of the approach is highlighted through transformations that furnish other desirable derivatives and a concise synthesis route affording more than a gram of a major fragment of anti-HIV agents rubriflordilactones A and B and a specific stereoisomeric analogue.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
