Diastereoselective conjugate additions

• Possible to use chiral auxiliary to control 1,4-nucleophilic addition• Chelation of amide and sultam oxygens to Mg restricts rotation and favours cis

conformation• Addition occurs from most sterically accessible side• Chiral auxiliary readily cleaved (& reused) to give enantiomerically pure compound

via diastereoselective reaction

Chiral auxiliary to control two stereocentres

• It possible to utilise 1,4-addition to introduce two stereogenic centres• The first addition (BuMgBr) occurs as before to generate an enolate• The enolate can then be trapped by an appropriate electrophile• Once again the sultam chiral auxiliary controls the face of addition (of Me)

Alternative chiral auxiliaries I

• A second chiral auxiliary is the oxazoline (5-membered ring) of Meyers’• It can be prepared from carboxylic acids (normally in 3 steps) or from condensation

of the amino alcohol and a nitrile• As can be seen excellent enantiomeric excesses can be achieved via a highly

diastereoselective reaction

Sulfoxide-based chiral auxiliary (& total synthesis)

• Sulfoxide is a good chiral auxiliary; not only does it introduce a stereocentre but it activates the alkene by addition of an extra electron-withdrawing group

• Sulfoxide substituent blocks the bottom face & is readily removed• Simple substrate control instals aryl group on opposite face to substituent• (–)-Podorhizon is a member of the anticancer podophyllotoxin family of compounds• This synthesis is by G. H. Posner, T. P. Kogan, S. R. Haines, L. L. Frye, Tetrahedron

Chiral auxiliaries and total synthesis

• L-CCG-I (L-carboxycyclopropylglycine-I) is a conformationally restrained analogue of L-glutamic acid (there are four possible stereoisomers of L-CCG)

• L-Glutamic acid is the most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter in our bodies; it is thought to be involved in cognitive functions like learning and memory in the brain and possibly with umami, one of the five basic human tastes

• This synthesis is by Subhash P. Chavan, Pallavi Sharma, Rasapalli Sivappa, Mohan M. Bhadbhade, Rajesh G. Gonnade and Uttam R. Kalkote, J. Org. Chem. 2003, 68, 6817

Enantioselective catalytic conjugate addition

• Much effort has been expended trying to develop enantioselective catalysts for conjugate addition

• Whilst many are very successful for certain substrates, few are capable of acting on a wide range of compounds

• The system above gives excellent enantioselectivities for cyclohexenone but...no selectivity for cyclopentenone

Organocatalysts II

• A range of reactions can be achieved, including enantioselective Friedel-Crafts• Catalyst ensures that the enone reacts via one conformation• Must use electron rich aromatic substrates

Organocatalysts III

• Possible to introduce two stereogenic centres with good diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity

• An interesting reaction is the Stetter reaction - this is the conjugate addition of an acyl group onto an activated alkene and proceeds via Umpolung chemistry (the reversal of polarity of the carbonyl group)
