Abstract: | Oxidative cleavage of internal double bonds in polycyclic systems can give access to compounds containing medium- to large-sized rings. In this example, the nine- and ten-membered ring containing compounds that resulted from the mCPBA-mediated (mCPBA=meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid) oxidative cleavage reaction were shown to exhibit atropisomerism. The reaction of the polycyclic system with catalytic amounts of ruthenium tetraoxide followed by diol cleavage achieved the same synthetic goal. Use of the Nishiyama-Beller ruthenium-based catalysts enabled the synthesis of optically-enriched samples, providing the first example of an atropselective oxidative cleavage reaction. |
