摘要
The substituted tetrahydrofuran core is a structural motif in many biologically active and natural compounds. However, the scarcity of enantioselective methods developed towards its synthesis makes this field challenging and attractive to explore. Herein, the first Br & oslash;nsted-base catalyzed enantioselective (3+2) annulation of donor-acceptor cyclopropanes with aldehydes and ketones affording enantioenriched 2,3,5-substituted tetrahydrofurans is reported. The reaction concept is based on activation of racemic beta-cyclopropyl ketones by a chiral bifunctional Br & oslash;nsted base which catalyzes the (3+2) annulation for a range of aldehydes and ketones. For aldehydes, the annulation furnished tetrahydrofurans in excellent yield, good diastereoselectivity and with excellent enantioselectivity up to >99 % ee. Surprisingly, aromatic aldehydes afforded the cis-2,5-substituted tetrahydrofurans as the major diastereoisomer, while for aliphatic aldehydes the trans-cycloadduct was favored. The reaction also proceeds well for ketones affording spiro tetrahydrofurans in excellent yields and enantioselectivities (up to 99 % ee). Hammett studies have been conducted to elucidate the influence of the electronic nature of benzaldehydes on the stereoselectivity. Based on the diastereochemical outcome for the aldehydes, two reaction paths for aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes are proposed. Finally, two diastereoselective synthetic transformations have been conducted to demonstrate the synthetic potential of the obtained products.
