Abstract
Unsaturated hydroperoxides were synthesized from dienes using a regioselective cobalt-catalyzed hydroperoxidation reaction. Subsequent intramolecular oxa-Michael reactions in the presence of triethylammonium hydrochloride (HNEt3Cl) and catalytic Et3N formed 1,2-dioxanes, in several cases with high diastereoselectivity. These 1,2-dioxanes could be transformed to their respective carboxylic acids, without affecting the integrity of the peroxide linkage, to form compounds with structures that resemble biologically active natural products.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
