Asymmetric reduction of 2,2-dimethyl-6-(2-oxoalkyl/oxoaryl)-1,3-dioxin-4-ones and application to the synthesis of (+)-yashabushitriol

The asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of a series of 2,2-dimethyl-6-(2-oxoalkyl)-1,3-dioxin-4-ones and 2,2-dimethyl-6-(2-oxoaryl)-1,3-dioxin-4-ones was achieved in high enantiomeric excess using a Ru(II) catalyst. The aryl substrates were most compatible with the methodology and this process facilitated a total synthesis of enantiomerically pure (+)-yashabushitriol.     

Reaction of 6-aryl-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxin-4-ones with cyanoamino compounds

Aroylketenes have been generated by thermolysis of 6-aryl-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxin-4-ones. They take part in a 1,4-cycloaddition reaction at the CN bond of N-aryl or N,N-dialkyl-N-cyanoamines and of N'-phenyl-N-cyanoguanidine to form the corresponding 2-N-aryl-amino, 2-N,N-dialkylamino, and 2-N-phenylguanidino-6-aryl-1,3-oxazin-4-ones. p-Aminobenzonitrile and cyanoacetamide are acylated by aroylketenes to form the p-cyanophenylamide of p-toluylacetic acid and the cyano-acetamide of benzoylacetic acid.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1265–1268, September, 1989.

We have used thermolysis of 6-aryl-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxin-4-ones in the presence of N-cyanoaniline, pyridinium cyano(ethoxycarbonyl)methylide, and 4-hydroxybenzonitrile to obtain the corresponding 6-aryl-2-phenylamino-1,3-oxazin-4-ones, pyridinium ethoxycarbonyl(4-oxo-6-aryl-4H-1,3-oxazin-2-yl)methylides, and p-cyanophenyl esters of 3-aryl-3-oxopropanoic acids. We present the results of a preliminary investigation of the biological activity of these compounds. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 764–768, May, 2006.

A Darzens condensation of α-chloroacetamide with aromatic aldehydes furnished a series of 3-aryl-2,3-epoxypropionamides, which were further converted to 5-[bromo(aryl)methyl]-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-oxazolidin-2-ones.

Alkyl carbamates and S-alkyl thiocarbamates react with substituted malonyl dichlorides in boiling benzene to give the corresponding 2,5-substituted 4-hydroxy-6H-1,3-oxazin-6-ones. The reaction of S-methyl thiocarbamate with unsubstituted malonyl dichloride in boiling diethyl ether or benzene leads to formation of S-methyl (3-methylsulfanylaminocarbonyl-3-oxopropionyl)thiocarbamate and is not accompanied by cyclization, whereas in boiling toluene 4-hydroxy-2-methylsulfanyl-6H-1,3-oxazin-6-one is obtained.__________Translated from Zhurnal Obshchei Khimii, Vol. 75, No. 3, 2005, pp. 468–472.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Lalaev, Yakovlev, Zakhs.     

Reactions of Chiral 2-(tert-Butyl)-2H,4H-1,3-dioxin-4-ones Bearing Functional Groups in the 6-Position and Diastereoselective Catalytic Hydrogenation to cis-2,6-Disubstituted 1,3-Dioxan-4-ones

(R)-5-Bromo-6-(bromomethyl)-2-(tert-butyl)-2H,4H-1,3-dioxin-4-one ( 2 ) derived from (R)-3-hydroxybutanoic acid is used for substitutions and chain elongations at the side-chain C-atom in the 6-position of the heterocycle (→ 3–6 , 10–13 ). Subsequent simultaneous reductive debromination and double-bond hydrogenation (Pd/C,H₂)occurs with essentially complete diastereoselectivity (>98% ds), with H transfer from the face opposite to the t-Bu group (→ 15–20 , Table 1). Hydrolytic cleavages of the dioxanones then lead to enantiomerically pure β-hydroxy-acid derivatives (overall self-reproduction of the stereogenic center of 3-hydroxybutanoic acid or alkylation in the 4-position of this acid with preservation of configuration).
