Oxidizing Morita–Baylis–Hillman adducts towards vicinal tricarbonyl compounds

Abstract: We disclose herein a simple and direct method to synthesize vicinal tricarbonyl compounds (VTC) from Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) adducts. The method is based on two sequential oxidation steps which provide VTC in moderate to good yields. This is the first report of the synthesis of vicinal tricarbonyl compounds from MBH adducts.

“…We started our investigation by preparing substrate 1 a through the oxidation of a Morita–Baylis–Hillman (MBH) adduct by employing Dess–Martin periodinane (DMP). This methodology was based on previous reports in the literature employing hypervalent iodine reagents and allowed access to the desired compound in excellent yield (99 %) and without the need for purification by column chromatography . This dicarbonyl substrate was then reacted with potassium trichloroacetate in the presence of DMSO (Scheme ), which selectively lead to the 1,1‐dichlorocyclopropyl adduct (product 2 a ).…”

“…The hydroxyl groups in 2a-2g and 2j were oxidized using IBX [46], and then the conjugated double bond was reduced using the borane dimethyl sulfide complex (Scheme 5; Table 2). Boranes have already been used in combination with silanes as reducing agents for some particular type of double bonds [47][48][49][50][51]; however, the only example where the borane dimethyl sulfide complex was used to reduce electronically poor double bonds was reported some years ago for cyclic vinylphosphine oxides or dihydrophosphole oxides [52][53][54].…”

“…Only in the case of quinolones 4.8 and 4.19 with COCH 3 and SO 2 Ph groups, respectively, at C‐3, the yields were 50%. Benzylic oxidation of Baylis–Hillman adducts with IBX to 1,3‐dicarbonyl compounds is known, and use of such intermediates for aza‐Michael–S N Ar steps could be an alternative approach to improve the yields of 4.8 and 4.19 34. To have an aldehyde group at the C‐3 position, the THQ intermediate (e.g., 3.1 ) can be first reduced using NaBH 4 and then subjected to oxidation using IBX.…”
