摘要
A three-step ring expansion procedure has been developed to convert methyl alpha,alpha-dialkyl-1-cyclopenteneacetates to highly functionalized cyclohexaneacetic esters. The procedure involves (1) ozonolytic double bond cleavage, (2) chemoselective Wittig olefination of the aldehyde carbonyl of the resulting keto aldehyde, and (3) tandem dealkoxycarbonylation-Michael addition to close the ring. The transformation proceeds best when the a-carbon of the starting acetate is quaternary, and thus, the method is unique in yielding hindered 2,2-dialkyl-3-oxocyclohexaneacetic esters. The reaction sequence is easily performed, and overall yields of 40-50% are readily achieved. The synthetic and mechanistic details of this process as well as optimization studies are presented. An analogous five-membered cyclization process was also investigated. Tandem dealkoxycarbonylation-Michael addition of 1-ethyl methyl (E)-7,7-dimethyl-6-oxo-2-octenedioate was found to afford a 24% isolated yield of ethyl 2,2-dimethyl-3-oxocyclopentaneacetate by a disfavored 5-[enolendo]-exo-trig process.
