The Synthesis of Thermodynamically Disfavored Disubstituted Cyclohexanes
Online published: 2022-05-20
Thermodynamically disfavored disubstituted cyclohexanes are synthesized with excellent kinetic stereocontrol from readily available substituted methylenecyclohexanes based on chain-walking catalysis. Control experiments and theoretical calculations suggest that the initial introduction of bulky boron ester substitution away from the ring is crucial to the high diastereoselectivity. This finding opens a new adventure to the application of chain walking catalysis in organic synthesis and provides a ready access to thermodynamically disfavored but biologically important disubstituted cyclohexanes and the derivatives.
