Novel synthesis of a highly functionalized cyclopropane derivative
Keyword(s):
A model study was carried out to explore the feasibility of synthesizing fused tricyclic ring structures containing a C7C8 double bond juncture (steroid numbering) by employing an SN2' cyclization of a silyl enol ether to displace an allylic acetate as the key step. Instead of the anticipated product, highly functionalized cyclopropanes were obtained. These novel cyclopropane structures are the result of the concomitant 1,2-migration of a dithiane thioether moiety and the eventual displacement of the acetate group, followed by the cyclization of the silyl enol ether.Key words: tricycles, SN2' cyclization, inductive effect, cyclopropane.
