Enantioselective, Lewis Base-Catalyzed Sulfenocyclization of Polyenes

Abstract: A sulfenium-ion-initiated, catalytic, enantio-selective polyene cyclization is described. Homogeranylar-enes and ortho-geranylphenols undergo polycyclization in good yield, diastereoselectivity, and enantioselectivity. The stereodetermining step is the generation of an enantio-merically enriched thiiranium ion from a terminal alkene and a sulfenylating agent in the presence of a chiral Lewis basic catalyst. The use of hexafluoroisopropyl alcohol as the solvent is crucial to obtain good yields. The thioether mo… Show more

“…The sulfenium ion can be considered as the sulfur analogue of carbenium [30] or nitrenium ions [30][31] and are generally prepared by activation of S-arylthiophthalimides. [12,32] However, we have shown here that no prefunctionalization of the substrates or any template approach were necessary for this cross dehydrogenative CÀS coupling reaction of arenes and thiols, and the sulfenium ions could be generated in situ by oxidation of thiols. Unprecedentedly, we report here the generation of sulfenium ion using hypervalent iodine(III) reagents.…”

“…[4] For many years, synthesis of CÀS bonds [5] were usually based on the transition metal catalyzed cross couplings [6] of aryl halides with thiophenols. [11] However, among metal free methods, [12] most of the coupling reactions are reported via prefunctionalization of the substrates. [8] Similarly, Ni, Co, Pd, or Cu metal catalyzed coupling reactions of aryl halides or template assisted synthesis are described in Figure 1a and Figure 1b, respectively.…”

“…are generallyu sed routinely. [36] In ethanol solvent, sulfenium ions were generated in situ using molecular iodine as catalysta nd DMAP-water as ap romoter of the reaction (vide infra). [35] Due to the SÀH···p interaction, hydrogens of thiols prefer to form as table complex with the p-electrons of arenes (Scheme1a).…”

“…This method also provides access to aw ide variety of enantioenriched carboand heterocycles,i ncluding complex polycyclic natural products. [16] Given our interest in developing ag eneral and enantioselective process for the construction of substituted isochromans (and their tetrahydropyran parents), we envisioned the sulfenium-ion-initiated cascade acetalization in Scheme 1B. In this case,atetrahydropyran ring is generated by the opening of athiiranium ion with asuitably disposed aldehyde oxygen atom, [17] and the resulting oxocarbenium ion is then captured by as econd nucleophile in an intermolecular fashion.…”
