Abstract

The first part of this work describes the preparation of a new HWE olefination reagent to prepare diazoketones α, β-unsaturated with Z geometry and its application in the synthesis of functionalized piperidine cores. After the optimization of the HWE reaction using benzaldehyde as a standard it was possible to prepare the desired Z isomer in 92% (Z:E 9:1). The key reaction for formation of the piperidine cores, N-H metal-catalyzed insertion performed to give a yield of up to 70%. The versatility of the methodology was demonstrated by an application to the synthesis of the natural product (±)-3,4,5-triidroxypiperidine and studies in the synthesis of (-)-1-deoxy-altronojirimicine. The chemistry of α, β-unsaturated diazoketones was also employed in the synthesis of another natural product, the alkaloid (±)-preussine. The employed route showed high stereoselectivity in the key-reaction (Stevens Rearrangement) as well as in the subsequent reduction of the formed ketone with a reducing agent (L-Selectride) giving an overall yield of 40%. We also tried to extend the methodology to prepare trisubstituted α, β-unsaturated diazoketones from the reaction with the olefination reagent and ketones. However, after several attempts no fruitful results were abtained. (AU)
