Published: August 2011

A highly diastereo- and enantioselective hetero-Diels-Alder (HDA) reaction of a Brassard-type diene with aliphatic aldehydes has been developed. The chiral N,N'-dioxide L2/In(OTf)(3) complex was efficient toward the obtention of the corresponding β-methoxy-γ-methyl α,β-unsaturated δ-lactones in good yields (up to 86%) as well as dr and ee values (up to 97:3 cis/trans and 94% ee). In addition, the product 4a could be easily transformed into the methyl-protected epi-prelactone B by hydrogenation.

A highly efficient N,N'-dioxide-Zn(II) complex catalytic system for the asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction of Brassard-type diene with methyleneindolines was developed. The optically pure spiro[cyclohex[3]ene-1,3'-indoline]-1'-carboxylate-2, 2'-dione derivatives containing three stereocenters were obtained in moderate yields with 98% to >99% ee in a stereospecific manner.

Two efficient new chiral copper (II) Schiff base complexes were developed for the highly enantio- and diastereoselective HDA reaction of Brassard type diene 1b with aldehydes, to afford the corresponding 5-methyl-containing alpha,beta-unsaturated delta-lactone derivatives in moderate yields, high enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee) and excellent diastereoselectivities (up to 99:1 anti/syn). On the basis of the absolute configuration of 4a-4j disclosed by X-ray diffraction and CD analysis, a possible transition-state model for the enantio- and diastereoselective catalytic reaction has been proposed.
