Formation of macrocyclic lactones in the Paternò–Büchi dimerization reaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Furan-2-ylmethyl 2-oxoacetates 1a,b, in which the furan ring and the carbonyl moiety were embedded intramolecularly, were synthesized from commercially available furan-2-ylmethanol and their photochemical reaction (hν > 290 nm) was investigated. Twelve-membered macrocyclic lactones 2a,b with C(i) symmetry including two oxetane-rings, which are the Paternò-Büchi dimerization products, were isolated in ca. 20% yield. The intramolecular cyclization products, such as 3-alkoxyoxetane and 2,7-dioxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene derivatives, were not detected in the photolysate.

Hydroxy-group effect on the regioselectivity in a photochemical oxetane formation reaction (the Paternò-Büchi Reaction) of geraniol derivatives.
The Paternò-Büchi (PB) reaction of geraniol derivatives 1, which contain allylic alcohol functionality and unfunctionalized double bonds, with benzophenone was investigated to see the effect of the hydroxyl group on the regioselectivity of the oxetane formation, i.e., 2/3. At low concentration of geraniol (1a), oxetanes 2a and 3a were formed in a ratio of 2a/3a = ca. 50/50. The oxetane 2a is de...
متن کاملOxetane synthesis through the Paternò-Büchi reaction.
The Paternò-Büchi reaction is a photochemical reaction between a carbonyl compound and an alkene to give the corresponding oxetane. In this review the mechanism of the reaction is discussed. On this basis the described use in the reaction with electron rich alkenes (enolethers, enol esters, enol silyl ethers, enanines, heterocyclic compounds has been reported. The stereochemical behavior of the...

The regioselectivity and the photochemical efficiency were investigated in the Paternò-Büchi reaction of 1,3-dimethylthymine (DMT) and 1,3-dimethyluracil (DMU) with benzophenone (1b) and some 4,4'-disubstituted derivatives (dimethoxy (1a), difluoro (1c), dichloro (1d), dibromo (1e) and dicyano benzophenone (1f)) that gives rise to two regioisomeric oxetanes, 2 and 3. The regioselectivity (the r...
متن کاملTracking a Paternò-Büchi reaction in real time using transient electronic and vibrational spectroscopies.
A detailed mechanistic investigation of the early stages of the Paternò-Büchi reaction following 267 nm excitation of benzaldehyde in cyclohexene has been completed using ultrafast, broadband transient UV-visible and IR absorption spectroscopies. Absorption due to electronically excited triplet state benzaldehyde decays on a 80 ps time scale via reaction with cyclohexene. The growth and subsequ...
متن کاملEnantioselective syntheses of 3,4,5-trisubstituted c-lactones: formal synthesis of ( )-blastmycinolactol
A kinetic resolution process of Rh-catalyzed intramolecular Alder-ene reaction is described along with the studies of the substrate scope and stereochemistry of this remarkably efficient process. 3,4,5-Trisubstituted c-lactones were synthesized in high enantioselectivity (>99% ee) and efficiency. The formal asymmetric syntheses of ( )-blastmycinolactol and (+)-blastmycinone, degradation product...
