Divergent stereocontrol of acid catalyzed intramolecular aldol reactions of 2,3,7-triketoesters: synthesis of highly functionalized cyclopentanones.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The intramolecular acid catalyzed aldol cyclization of 2,3,7-triketoesters formed from ?-keto-?-diazo-?-ketoesters provides highly functionalized cyclopentanones with good diastereoselectivity in high overall yields via kinetically controlled and stereodivergent catalytic processes. Lewis acid catalysis gives high selectivity for the 1,2-anti tetrasubstituted cyclopentanones, whereas Brønsted acid catalysis produces the corresponding 1,2-syn diastereomer.
