B. Muller et al., ABNORMAL 8-MEMBERED RING FORMATION THROUGH S(N)2' INTRAMOLECULAR NOZAKI KISHI REACTION IN A SYNTHETIC APPROACH TO A TAXANE PRECURSOR/, Tetrahedron letters, 39(3-4), 1998, pp. 279-282
Two different reactions were experimented for the construction of the
eight-membered B-ring of taxane skeleton through the formation of the
C9-C10 bond A SmI2 promoted radical reaction on seco-alkynyl aldehydes
11cis or 11trans failed. A Nozaki/Kishi reaction carried out on the s
eco-iodovinyl aldehyde 12trans led, through an unprecedented intramole
cular S(N)2' reaction, to the ''abnormally'' cyclised product 14, the
structure of which has been confirmed by X-ray crystallography. (C) 19
