Total Syntheses of (−)-Herbertenediol, (−)-Mastigophorene A, and (−)-Mastigophorene B. Combined Utility of Chiral Bicyclic Lactams and Chiral Aryl Oxazolines
1999
A nonracemic bicyclic lactam has been used to construct a chiral cyclopentane containing vicinal quaternary carbon centers in optically pure form, which is common to all of the title compounds. An oxazoline-mediated asymmetric Ullmann coupling was then utilized to establish chirality about the biaryl axis of mastigophorenes A and B. Through the course of this synthesis, it was clearly demonstrated that smaller chiral auxiliaries lead to higher levels of atroposelection, a previously unknown phenomenon of the asymmetric Ullmann coupling.
