Abstract:Cyclobutanone eignen sich besonders gut für enantioselektive Desymmetrisierungen, da ihre inhärente Ringspannung eine Vielzahl ungewöhnlicher Reaktionen ermöglicht. Aktuelle Methoden umfassen α‐Funktionalisierungen, Umlagerungen und C‐C‐Aktivierungen, die Cyclobutanone direkt in eine Fülle chiraler Verbindungen mit oftmals biologischer Relevanz umwandeln. Dieser Kurzaufsatz soll einen Überblick über den aktuellen Stand der Methoden geben, die in nur einem einzigen Schritt komplexe Moleküle aus prochiralen Cycl… Show more
We report a novel process for the preparation of 2-substituted cyclobutanones. Such a method relies on the cross-coupling reaction of bromocyclobutenyl diethyl phosphate with either boronic acids or organozinc reagents. Dephosphorylation of the prepared 2-substituted cyclobutenyl phosphates affords 2substituted cyclobutanones. We observed that the course of the dephosphorylation reaction depends on the properties of the substituents found on the cyclobutene nucleus. The presence of groups capable of stabilizing the negative charge is necessary for ring opening of cyclobutanones. The scope of the reported process for the preparation of 2-substituted cyclobutanones has also been extended to the preparation of cyclobutenyl sulfides.

“…Desymmetrization reactions are highly attractive manners for the rapid synthesis of optical compounds . Inspired by these works, we have designed novel substrates for the construction of the desired hydrogenated benzofuranone skeletons via a desymmetrization pathway.…”
Chiral magnesium catalyzed intramolecular vinylogous Michael reaction of novel cyclohexadienones via a desymmetrization process is reported. (R)-BINOL derived ligand and an achiral amide were employed in the current in situ generated magnesium catalyst, giving the corresponding hydrogenated benzofuranone skeletons in good to excellent enantioselectivities with high yields. This simple and efficient strategy could be utilized for the synthesis of aromatized α,β-unsaturated ester and Br-substituted hydrogenated benzofuranone in good yields under mild conditions.

Die asymmetrische Synthese von γ‐Lactamen wird über die Cyclobutanon‐Ringerweiterung unter Verwendung von (1S,2R)‐1‐Amino‐2‐Indanol zur chiralen Induktion erreicht. Die mechanistische Analyse der entscheidenden N,O‐Ketal‐Umlagerung zeigt ein Curtin‐Hammett‐Szenario, das eine späte Stereoinduktion (bis zu 88:12 dr) ermöglicht und durch spektroskopische, kristallographische und rechnerische Untersuchungen bestätigt wird. In Kombination mit einem einfachen Entschützungsverfahren ermöglicht diese operativ einfache Sequenz die Synthese enantiomerenreiner γ‐Lactame, einschließlich solcher, die quartäre Stereozentren mit ausschließlich Kohlenstoffatomen tragen. Darüber hinaus demonstriert die formale Synthese der Wirkstoffe Baclofen, Brivaracetam und Pregabalin den präparativen Nutzen und unterstreicht die allgemeine Anwendbarkeit der vorgestellten Methode.
