Highly enantioselective Diels-Alder reactions of alpha-halo-alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones with Lewis acid-activated chiral oxazaborolidine 1 are described. The reaction with alpha-fluoroenones provided the corresponding cyclohexane derivatives having a fluorinated quaternary stereogenic center with up to 99% de and 94% ee. The reaction with alpha-bromo cyclic enones provided the corresponding bromo bicyclic adducts with up to 99% de and 95% ee. A brominated cis-fused bicyclic adduct derived from 2-bromocyclopenten-1-one and Dane's diene was converted to the trans-fused bicyclic system via reductive alkylation with the bulky aluminum reagent aluminum tris(2,6-diphenylphenoxide) (ATPH). With this process, formal syntheses of (+)-estrone and norgestrel have been demonstrated.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007659 Ketones Organic compounds containing a carbonyl group Ketone
D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D002244 Carbon A nonmetallic element with atomic symbol C, atomic number 6, and atomic weight [12.0096; 12.0116]. It may occur as several different allotropes including DIAMOND; CHARCOAL; and GRAPHITE; and as SOOT from incompletely burned fuel. Carbon-12,Vitreous Carbon,Carbon 12,Carbon, Vitreous
D002384 Catalysis The facilitation of a chemical reaction by material (catalyst) that is not consumed by the reaction. Catalyses
D003510 Cyclohexanes Six-carbon alicyclic hydrocarbons.
D000478 Alkylation The covalent bonding of an alkyl group to an organic compound. It can occur by a simple addition reaction or by substitution of another functional group. Alkylations
D013237 Stereoisomerism The phenomenon whereby compounds whose molecules have the same number and kind of atoms and the same atomic arrangement, but differ in their spatial relationships. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 5th ed) Molecular Stereochemistry,Stereoisomers,Stereochemistry, Molecular,Stereoisomer
D013256 Steroids A group of polycyclic compounds closely related biochemically to TERPENES. They include cholesterol, numerous hormones, precursors of certain vitamins, bile acids, alcohols (STEROLS), and certain natural drugs and poisons. Steroids have a common nucleus, a fused, reduced 17-carbon atom ring system, cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene. Most steroids also have two methyl groups and an aliphatic side-chain attached to the nucleus. (From Hawley's Condensed Chemical Dictionary, 11th ed) Steroid,Catatoxic Steroids,Steroids, Catatoxic
D013379 Substrate Specificity A characteristic feature of enzyme activity in relation to the kind of substrate on which the enzyme or catalytic molecule reacts. Specificities, Substrate,Specificity, Substrate,Substrate Specificities
D054879 Halogenation Covalent attachment of HALOGENS to other compounds. Bromination,Chlorination,Fluorination,Iodination,Iodation
