Enantioselective alkylative double ring-opening of epoxides derived from cyclic allylic ethers: synthesis of enantioenriched unsaturated diols.

A screen of external chiral ligands has led to enantioselective organolithium-induced alkylative double ring-opening of 3,4-epoxytetrahydrofuran 1 with n-BuLi to give 3-methyleneheptane-1,2-diol 3 in 75% yield and 55% ee in the presence of bisoxazoline 10, and in up to 60% ee in the presence of (-)-sparteine 2. Extending the alkylative double ring-opening reaction to epoxides derived from oxabicyclo[n.2.1]alkenes (n = 2.3) results in the formation of cycloalkenediols, which, when carried out in the presence of (-)-sparteine 2 affords products in up to 85% ee.

Nitrosation with Sodium Hexanitrocobaltate(III).

Na(3)Co(NO(2))(6) has been investigated as a new reagent for the nitrosation of various substrates containing an amino functionality. Reactions took place in an aqueous solution of the reagent. The pH of the reaction mixture remained in the range 4.3-5. Thus, hydrazides were transformed to the corresponding acyl azides, and the reactions with arenesulfonyl hydrazines afforded arenesulfonyl azides. Treatment of aromatic amines with Na(3)Co(NO(2))(6) gave 1,3-diaryltriazenes in excellent yields; coupling of the initially formed diazo compound to the electron rich aromatic ring was also observed. Nitrosation of aliphatic amines was not possible due to complex formation with the reagent.
