New Domino Reactions with Sultones
Publication History
Publication Date:

Abstract
Hydroxyl-containing α,β-unsaturated δ-sultones undergo a diastereoselective conjugate reduction by Red-Al. This transformation can be extended to a domino elimination/1,4-hydride addition of a tricyclic sultone substrate that is readily available via intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction. Bicyclic γ-keto δ-sultones are converted into diastereomerically pure oxabicyclic ketones in a domino desulfurization/oxy-Michael addition using DBU.
Key words
sultones - conjugate additions - reductions - desulfurizations - domino reactions

MeLi is superior to BuLi for elimination of 5a to yield 6a.³
11The ratio of the diastereomers 7a/8a varied to some extent from run to run, while 7b was usually obtained as a single isomer.
