Diastereoselective Ring-Closing Metathesis: Synthesis of P-Stereogenic Phosphinates from Prochiral Phosphinic Acid Derivatives

摘要

The preparation of phosphorus-containing trienes featuring two diastereotopic vinyl moieties followed by a diastereoselective ring-closing metathesis is described.This methodology allowed for the synthesis of novel highly functionalized P-stereogenic heterocycles featuring both an exo- and an endocyclic double bond.An investigation into the factors influencing the diastereochemical outcome of the ring-closing metathesis is also presented,revealing that the geometry of the double bonds conjugated to phosphorus is important and that 1,3-stereoinduction is superior to 1,4-stereoinduction for these reactions.
