Synthetic efforts have led to the development of silicon Lewis acid promoted [3+2] cycloadditions of acylhydrazones with methallyl ethers along with the development of a new silane reagent. MS-153 was synthesized in three steps from the acetylaldehyde derived hydrazone in 70% overall yield and in ≥98% ee. A rapid and highly stereoselective synthesis of manzacidin C was achieved from an isopropyl glyoxylate derived N-acyl hydrazone in six steps, 94% ee, >15:1 dr, and 26% overall yield. An unexpected stereochemical switch was observed in the key silver triflate mediated cycloaddition leading to the hypothesis of a chiral hexacoordinate silicon transition state. This new avenue of reactivity led to the development of an enantioselective Friedel-Crafts cycloadditions of 2-pyridylbenzoylhydrazones. Absolute stereochemical proof of the substrates led to an adjustment in our stereochemical model of hexacoordinate silicon intermediates involving 2-pyridine as the Lewis basic binder. | Keywords/Search Tags: | MS-153, Silicon, Lewis, Manzacidin | | Related items |
