[2,3]-Sigmatropic Rearrangements of 3-Sulfinyl Dihydropyrans: Application to the Syntheses of the Cores of ent-Dysiherbaine and Deoxymalayamicin A

摘要

The [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of a variety of configurationally stable diastereomeric allylic sulfinyl dihydropyrans, produced by base-promoted cyclization of sulfinyl dienols, has been studied. In some cases, the efficient transformation of these substrates into dihydropyranols required an in-depth study of reaction conditions, with the preferred protocol relying on the use of DABCO in warm toluene. This methodology has been applied to the syntheses of the cores of ent-dysiherbaine and deoxymalayamicin A by means of efficient tethered aminohydroxylations.
