Abstract

Diastereoselective Baylis-Hillman reaction of sugar-derived α,β-unsaturated δ-lactone with several aromatic aldehydes in presence of DABCO (50 mol%) to afford adducts in moderate to good yields (49-75%) with 30-82% de is being reported for the first time. Quantum chemical calculations based on the stabilities of transition structures and on the stabilities of zwitterionic intermediates rationalized the experimental observations.

General Experimental Procedure. To a stirred solution of lactone (1.5 mmol) in anhyd DMSO (1.5 mL), aldehyde (1 mmol) was added followed by DABCO (0.5 mmol) and the reaction mixture stirred for 36 h at r.t. After completion of the reaction (TLC), the reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc (20 mL), washed sequentially with H2O (1 × 15 mL), brine (2 × 10 mL), concentrated and dried (Na2SO4). The residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel (120 mesh, n-hexane-EtOAc, 6:4) to give the corresponding adduct. Spectral Data for Selected Compounds.
