[reaction: see text] Enantiopure epoxyvinyl sulfones function as templates for the diastereoselective construction of the three stereotetrads of aplyronine A. Lawton S(N)2' addition of 3,5-dimethylpyrazole followed by its displacement in an alcohol-directed Lawton S(N)2' reaction establishes the required product stereochemistry with high selectivity.

Enantiopure cycloheptadienyl sulfones 6 and 7 are diastereoselectively epoxidized to yield epoxyvinyl sulfones 8, 9, 14, and 16 in high yields and diastereomeric ratios. Syn and anti methylation of epoxides 8, 9, 14, and 16 enables access to all eight possible diastereomeric stereotetrads, seven of which are commonly found in polypropionate natural products. Anti methylations of the above epoxides are possible by either the reaction of methyl organometallics promoted by copper(I), or via reaction with trimethylaluminum to yield stereotetrads 11, 12, 22, and 24.

Syntheses of highly substituted enantiopure C6 and C7 enones(1).

Contribution from the Department of Chemistry, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana 47907, USA.

Enantiopure epoxyvinyl sulfones SS-9a, SS-9b, produced from Jacobsen epoxidation of 2-phenylsulfonyl 1,3-cyclohexa- and cycloheptadiene, are used as a template for the construction of substituted cycloalkenones and as chiral synthetic equivalents of enones a and b. The addition of carbon nucleophiles to SS-9a, SS-9b is high yielding and stereospecific. Enantiopure alpha,beta- and gamma-substituted cycloalkenones are easily constructed using a variety of methods.
