StereocontrolinC-Cbondformingnucleophilicaddition1-3 of simple or functionalized organometallics to R-and/or-alkoxy1 or other heterosubstituted2 carbonyl substrates has drawn considerable attraction during the last few decades. The resulting homochiral alcohols are generally exploited as building blocks for the synthesis of optically pure compounds via a chiron approach. 4 Consequently, there has been an increasing demand to perform such organometalations in aqueous medium3 with a view to establishing their practical viability. Simultaneously, efforts are directed in understanding and controlling the stereoselectivity1-3 for the organometalations of acyclic carbonyls, as a possibility exists in attaining stereochemical flexibility for such additions by changing the metal, solvent, stereochemistry of the nucleophiles, etc. Although a highly stereoselective organometalation of a carbonyl is always desirable from a synthetic viewpoint, a poor or moderately selective addition may prove advantageous if all the resulting diastereo alcohols are isolable in pure form from the reaction mixture without being derivatized, as this may not always be compatible with subsequent reactions protocol. During our ongoing program on the synthesis of bioactive compounds, we have developed a practical synthesis5a of 1 of D-mannitol origin. We found 1 to be a good substrate for Zn-mediated (E)-crotylation5b in the presence of water under Luche’s condition6 to produce 2, 3, and 4. Each of these crotylation products has three contiguous stereocenters, two of which are generated during organometalation. It is worth mentioning that crotylmetalation is a valuable alternative to conventional aldol condensation. However, the presence of a methyl group at C-3 blocks that branching for further elaboration. Hence with a view to introducing a hydroxymethyl group, the simplest functionalized C-branching at C-3 in the place of the methyl group, 1 was treated with bromide 7 (1 equiv) and excess (2.5 equiv) of Zn dust following a procedure similar to one done previously by us5b and was found to be totally reacted within 1.5 h. Compound 7 was prepared from commercially available (Z)-buten-1, 4-diol (5) by sequential monobenzylation and bromination with an appreciable overall yield. This also provides us an opportunity to compare the stereoselection between Znmediated Barbier type (E)-and (Z)-allylmetalation of a chirally R-oxygenated aldehyde such as 1 under Luche’s condition. 6 To our knowledge, this constitutes the first report of this type of study. The reaction between 1 and 7 has been effected with high regioselectivity in which CC bond formation has exclusively taken place at the γ-position. This time the formation of all of the four possible isomers 8-11 of the product alcohol was evident from TLC (Scheme 1). However, column chromatography of the residue afforded total isolation of 10 and 11 and partial isolation of 9 that was formed. Some of the initial fractions were found to contain a mixture of 8 and 9. On the basis of column chromatographic isolation, the formation of 8/9, 10, and 11 has been estimated to be in the ratio of 18.2: 33.5: 48.3. Because of the formation of a negligible amount of 8 and its Rf close to that of 9, its isolation by column chromatography has not been attempted seriously. The 1H NMR spectra of 9, 10, and 11 available in pure form show distinguishable patterns of signals in the region of δ 3.5-4.2 due to H-4, H-5, H-6, and-CH2OBn. The stereochemistries of 9 and 10 could be identified by analyzing the signals in the aforementioned region of their 1H NMR spectra, which appear to be very much comparable with those of the reported ones7 for the …
