Acid Catalyzed

The acid-catalyzed rearrangement of 1-phenylcycloalkyl hydroperoxides has been investigated using the cyclohexyl, cyclopentyl, and cyclobutyl compounds. Evidence was sought for rearrangement of the cycloalkyl group in competition with migration of the phenyl group during the reaction. Such a rearrangement would result in ring expansion of the cycloalkyl group to give, ultimately, products formed by cycloalkyl ring opening.No evidence for such a reaction was found in the case of 1-phenylcyclohexyl hydroperoxide; only the expected products, phenol and cyclohexanone, were detected. However, rearrangement of 1-phenylcyclopentyl hydroperoxide gave, besides the expected phenol and cyclopentanone, significant amounts of the ring-opened compound 4-hydroxyvalerophenone as its acetate. A second product, 1-phenylcyclopentene, arose by elimination of hydrogen peroxide from the hydroperoxide.1-Phenylcyclobutyl hydroperoxide proved to undergo ring expansion with great facility. Only the ring expanded products, 2-phenyl-2-tetrahydrofuryl hydroperoxide and its corresponding peroxide, could be isolated in the treatment of 1-phenylcyclobutanol with hydrogen peroxide using catalytic amounts of mineral acids. However, in the absence of catalysts, 1-phenylcyclobutyl hydroperoxide was formed in detectable amounts and its presence was demonstrated by decomposition with ferrous sulfate to butyro-phenone and 1,6-dibenzoylhexane.It seems reasonable that ring strain is the factor promoting the ring expansion of 1-phenylcyclobutyl hydroperoxide. In the case of 1-phenylcyclopentyl hydroperoxide, it is suggested that the steric interaction of the ortho hydrogens of the phenyl group with the cyclopentyl ring protons has the effect of slowing the migration of the phenyl group sufficiently that alkyl migration can occur to give the observed ring-opened products.

There has recently been a great deal of interest in the synthesis of natural products that promote neurite outgrowth. Emmanuel A. Theodorakis of the University of California, San Diego described (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2011, 50, 3672) the preparation of one of the most potent (10 nM) of these, (–)-jiadifenolide 3. Fittingly, a key transformation en route to this highly oxygenated seco-prezizaane was the oxidative rearrangement of 1 to 2. The starting point for the synthesis was the commercially available diketone 4. Allylation followed by addition to 5 gave the prochiral triketone 6. Enantioselective aldol condensation following the Tu/Zhang protocol then delivered the bicyclic enone 7. Alkylation to give 8 proceeded with high diastereoselectivity, perhaps controlled by the steric bulk of the silyloxy group. Exposure of the protected ketone to the McMurry reagent PhNTf2 gave the enol triflate 9, which smoothly carbonylated to the lactone 10. Epoxidation with alkaline hydrogen peroxide followed by oxidation gave the carboxylic acid, which spontaneously opened the epoxide, leading to the bis lactone 1. With 1 in hand, the stage was set for the key oxidative rearrangement to 2. It was envisioned that epoxidation would generate the cis-fused 11, which on oxidation would undergo acid-catalyzed elimination to give 12. The newly freed OH would then be in position to engage the lactone carbonyl, leading to 2. In the event, oxidation of the epoxide with the Dess-Martin reagent required sonication for 2 h. The rearranged lactone, even though it was susceptible to further oxidation, was secured in 38% overall yield from 1. After hydrogenation and protection, preparation of the enol triflate 13 from the congested cyclopentanone necessitated the use of the more reactive Comins reagent. Hydrogenation of the trisubstituted alkene from coupling with Me3Al then required 90 atmospheres of H2 overpressure. Hydroxylation of the lactone 14 with the Davis oxaziridine followed by further oxidation to the ketone with the Jones reagent and deprotection then completed the synthesis of (–)-jiadifenolide 3.
