Synthesis and Applications of Silyl 2-Methylprop-2-ene-1-sulfinates in Preparative Silylation and GC-Derivatization Reactions of Polyols and Carbohydrates

Pierre Vogel, Dean Markovic, Maris Turks, Sylvain Claude Laclef

Trimethylsilyl, triethylsilyl, tert-butyldimethylsilyl, and triisopropylsilyl 2-methylprop-2-ene-1-sulfinates were prepared through (CuOTf)(2)C6H6-catalyzed sila-ene reactions of the corresponding methallylsilanes with SO2 at 50 degrees C. Sterically hinde ...

Concise Synthesis of Complicated Polypropionates through One-Pot Dissymmetrical Two-Directional Chain Elongation

Pierre Vogel, Maris Turks, Freddy Fonquerne, Claudia Jana Exner

Herein, a major breakthrough in a sulfur dioxide-mediated oxyallylation cascade reaction is reported that allows the preparation of complex long-chain polyketide fragments with more than ten stereogenic centers through a carefully designed desymmetrization ...

Total Asymmetric Syntheses of beta-Hydroxy-delta-lactones via Umpolung with Sulfur Dioxide

Pierre Vogel, Maris Turks, Sylvain Claude Laclef, Claudia Jana Exner, Florent Poli

Cyclic stereotriads and stereotetrads of the beta-hydroxy-delta-lactone type, e.g. prelactones B and E, common in polyketides and polypropionates, are prepared via SO2-induced oxyallylations of enoxysilanes with (1E,3Z)-1-(1-phenylethoxy)penta-1,3-dien-3-y ...

Synthesis of Optically Active 5-Alkoxy-6-methylcyclohex-2-en-1-ones and 4-Alkoxy-5-methylcyclopent-1-enyl Benzoate

Pierre Vogel, Maris Turks

The reaction of (-)-(1E,3Z)-2-methyl-1-((1S)-1-phenylethoxy)penta-1,3-dien-3-ol benzoate with allyltrimethylsilane in SO,- and in the presence of a catalytic amount of Tf2NTMS gives a silyl sulfinate intermediate that furnishes (-)-(6Z,1'S,4S,5S)-5-methyl- ...

Umpolung with Sulfur Dioxide: Carbon-Carbon Cross-Coupling of Electron-Rich 1,3-Dienes and Alkenes; Application to the Enantioselective Synthesis of Long-Chain Polyketide Fragments

Pierre Vogel, Maris Turks, Claudia Jana Exner

At low temperature and in the presence of an acid catalyst, sulfur dioxide undergoes hetero-Diels-Alder additions with 1-oxy-1,3-dienes, giving unstable sultines, which are ionized into zwitterionic species and react as 1-oxyallylic cation intermediates (U ...

Use of sultines in the asymmetric synthesis of polypropionate antibiotics

Pierre Vogel, Laure Bouchez, Xiaogen Huang, Maris Turks, Cotinica Craita, Freddy Fonquerne, Christopher Flowers

At low temperature and in the presence of an acid catalyst, SO2 adds to 1,3-dienes equilibrating with the corresponding 3,6-dihydro-1,2-oxathiin-2-oxides (sultines). These compounds are unstable above -60 degrees C and equilibrate with the more stable 2,5- ...

The bora-ene reaction of sulfur dioxide and prop-2-ene-1-boronic esters. New route to sulfoxides

Pierre Vogel, Adrien Keith Lawrence, Maris Turks

A new one-pot synthesis of sulfoxides is presented. It involves the bora-ene reaction of sulfur dioxide and prop-2-ene-1-boronic esters, giving mixed anhydrides of sulfinic and boric acids. The latter react chemoselectively at the sulfur center with Grigna ...

Expeditious asymmetric synthesis of a stereoheptad corresponding to the C(19)-C(27)-ansa chain of rifamycins: Formal total synthesis of Rifamycin S

Pierre Vogel, Xiaogen Huang, Maris Turks

In the presence of sulfur dioxide and an acid promoter, (-)-(1E,3Z)-2-methyl-1-((1S)-1-phenyleth- oxy)penta-1,3-dien-3-yl isobutyrate reacts with (Z)-3-(trimethylsilyloxy)-pent-2-ene giving a silyl sulfinate intermediate that undergoes, in the presence of ...

Umpolung of 1-alkoxy-3-acyloxy-1,3-dienes with sulfur dioxide and its application in polypropionate synthesis

Maris Turks

Under appropriate conditions sulfur dioxide reacts with 1,3-dienes in the hetero-Diels-Alder fashion. In the case of 1-alkoxy-1,3-dienes the 6-alkoxy-3,6-dihydro-1,2-oxatiin-2-oxides (sultines) so-obtained can be ionized in the presence of Lewis or protic ...
