Abstract

Enantiomerically pure TpMo(CO)2(η 3-pyranyl) complexes have proven to be excellent enantiomeric organometallic scaffolds for the symmetric construction of structurally diverse oxygen-containing heterocyclic systems. Chiral, non-racemic η 3-(2,3,4)-2-methyl-5-oxopyranyl molybdenum scaffold was prepared with high enantiopurity. An improved method was developed for the synthesis of chiral, non-racemic η 3-(2,3,4)-5-oxopyranyl molybdenum scaffold.

Neutral TpMo(CO)2(η 3-pyranyl) scaffolds bearing an internal alkoxide can undergo a novel intramolecular '1,5-Michael-like' reaction. Through a one-pot '1,5-Michael-demetalation' sequence, the 6,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1] oct-3-en-2-one frame work can be rapidly accessed in good to excellent yields with high enantiopurity. An enantiocontrolled total synthesis of (+)-(1R,2S,5S,7R)-2-hydroxy-exo-brevicomin was completed utilizing the intramolecular '1,5-Michael-demetalation' cascade.

Solid sodium methoxide participates in an unprecedented intermolecular '1,5-Michael-like' reaction with neutral TpMo(CO)2(5-oxo-η 3-pyranyl) complexes with complete regio- and stereocontrol. The resulting dimethoxy complexes lead to the formation of various 2,2,6-trisubstituted and 2,6-trans disubstituted pyranyl molybdenum complexes. The synthetic potential of this methodology was demonstrated by the synthesis of (2S,6R)-2,6-dially-2-ethyl-2H-pyranone and (2R,6S)-2-ethyl-6-phenyl-pyranone.
