  • Title: Stereospecific cross-coupling reactions of aryl-substituted tetrahydrofurans, tetrahydropyrans, and lactones.
    Author: Tollefson EJ, Dawson DD, Osborne CA, Jarvo ER.
    Journal: J Am Chem Soc; 2014 Oct 22; 136(42):14951-8. PubMed ID: 25308512.
    Abstract:
    The stereospecific ring-opening of O-heterocycles to provide acyclic alcohols and carboxylic acids with controlled formation of a new C-C bond is reported. These reactions provide new methods for synthesis of acyclic polyketide analogs with complex stereochemical arrays. Stereoselective synthesis of the cyclic template is utilized to control relative configuration; subsequent stereospecific nickel-catalyzed ring-opening affords the acyclic product. Aryl-substituted tetrahydrofurans and tetrahydropyrans undergo nickel-catalyzed Kumada-type coupling with a range of Grignard reagents to furnish acyclic alcohols with high diastereoselectivity. Enantioenriched lactones undergo Negishi-type cross-coupling with dimethylzinc to afford enantioenriched carboxylic acids. Application in a two-step enantioselective synthesis of an anti-dyslipidemia agent is demonstrated.
