Abstract: | The novel lactonizations of methyl 4-aryl-5-tosyloxypentanoate 1 and 4-aryl-5-tosyloxyhexanoate 3 concomitant with a phenyl rearrangement are reported. The lactonizations were promoted by silica gel or heating in various solvents. By examining the effects of substituents of the aromatic ring on the reactivity, it was found that the reaction proceeded via a phenonium ion. This finding was supported by the stereochemical results for the lactonization of optical active 1. Silica gel-promoted lactonization of 1 gave only gamma-lactone 2, whereas that of 3 afforded gamma-lactone 4 and delta-lactone 5. These lactonizations proved to be kinetically controlled. On the other hand, when 3c was heated in CH(3)NO(2) at 70 degrees C, the highly selective formation of 4c was observed. Further detailed experiments confirmed that the thermal lactonization in CH(3)NO(2) was thermodynamically controlled. |
