An Unusual Domino Claisen−Conia Reaction Producing 3,5-Dispirodihydrofuran-2,4-diones

Abstract: Allyl tetronates 3 can be selectively converted either (in acetonitrile) into Claisen‐rearranged 3‐allyltetronic acids 5 or (in toluene) into novel Claisen−Conia‐rearranged 3‐(spirocyclopropyl)dihydrofuran‐2,4‐diones 6, featuring up to three new stereogenic centres. The mechanism and the stereochemistry of this process is discussed and an X‐ray crystal structure of one of the two diastereoisomers of (±)−6c is presented.

“…A tandem Claisen-Conia rearrangement was developed for the synthesis of dispirolactones by heating 5-spirotetronates in toluene in a sealed tube (Scheme 146). 169 The first step in the synthesis consisted of a Claisen rearrangement to produce the corresponding 3-allyltetronic acids, which suffered a fast Conia oxaene reaction leading to the 3-spirocyclopropyl ring closing, whose stereoselectivity could be understood in terms of the orbital interactions between the enol HOMO and the alkene LUMO.…”

“…1 35 or the sponge-produced cytotoxic melophlins. 36 In the case of allyl esters, further pericyclic reactions may follow the cyclization step, depending on the temperature and solvent polarity. 37 For example, one-pot reaction of methallyl (S)-lactate (4) and 3 in toluene under microwave irradiation (sealed vial, 180°C, 10 min) afforded the 3-(but-2-enyl)-5-methyltetronic acid 5 in 65% yield.…”
