Asymmetric Synthesis of (αR)-Polyfluoroalkylated Prolinols Based on the Perfluoroalkyl-Induced Highly Stereoselective Reduction of Perfluoroalkyl N-Boc-pyrrolidyl Ketones

Abstract: Reduction of the obtained chiral (S)- tert-butyl 2-(perfluoroalkanoyl)pyrrolidine-1-carboxylate with sodium borohydride or lithium aluminum hydride proceeded smoothly to give the corresponding (S)- tert-butyl 2-((R)-perfluoro-1-hydroxyalkyl)pyrrolidine-1-carboxylate in yields of 73-97% with excellent diastereoselectivities (up to >98% de), compared with the reduction of nonfluorinated (S)-tert-butyl 2-pentanoylpyrrolidine-1-carboxylate.

“…The aza-nucleophile could be the benzyl amine (intermolecular reaction) or the benzyl amide resulting from the transamidation of the Weinreb amide (intramolecular reaction) . According to the stereochemical outcome of the reaction, regardless of the nucleophile, the addition to the trifluoromethyl ketone would happen via the Felkin-Anh transition state TS-2 , , as shown in Figure . Cyclization toward hemiaminals 4a – c is made possible thanks to the syn stereochemical relationship of the acetonide-protected diol.…”

“…Perfluorobutyl pyrrolidines 26 and 27 were synthetized in 4 steps from the pyrrolidino‐ester 11 (Scheme ). At first, the pyrrolidino‐ester 11 was treated with perfluoro butyllithium (perfluorobutyl iodide, MeLi · LiBr, THF, –78 °C) to form a perfluorobutyl ketone intermediate, which is subsequently reduced with NaBH 4 to form the two diastereomeric perfluorobutyl alcohols 25 and 25′ . After cleavage of the carbamate by hydrogenolysis and N ‐benzylation, the two diastereomers, N ‐benzyl perfluorobutyl pyrrolidines 26 and 27 , were obtained in 62 % and 68 % yield respectively (Scheme ).…”
