The title compound, C27H30O6, was prepared by monodihydroxylation of the bis-olefin (E,E)-tert-butyl 2-acetyl-2-cinnamyl-5-phenylpent-4-enoate using standard Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation conditions, followed by treatment with 1,1'-carbonyl diimidazole. In the crystal structure, the phenyl rings form an intramolecular edge-to-face C-H
contact with an interplanar angle of 56.4° and a H
centroid distance of 3.03 Å.
The synthetic procedure is summarized in Fig. 2. By a method analogous to that reported by Sharpless and co-workers (Kolb et al., 1994), tert-butyl ester 1 (3.0 g, 10.9 mmol; 5:1 mixture of 1 and 2) was dissolved in t-BuOH (100 ml) to give a clear solution. Water (100 ml) was added and the mixture was cooled to 278 K. A freshly made mixture of K2OsO4.2H2O (1 mol %), K3Fe(CN)6 (3 equiv.), K2CO3 (3 equiv.), MeSO2NH2 (1 equiv.) and hydroquinidine 1,4-phthalazinediyl diether (denoted (DHQD)2PHAL, 2 mol %) was added to the cooled solution in one portion and it was stirred vigorously for 24 h. Sodium sulfite (ca 10 equiv.) was added and the reaction allowed to warm to room temperature with vigorous stirring. The slurry was transferred to a separatory funnel with water (200 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3 × 100 ml). The combined organic extracts were washed with aqueous sulfate buffer (100 ml), saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (100 ml), dried (Na2SO4), filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in dichloromethane (100 ml) and 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole (1.5 equiv.) was added to the stirred solution at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred until completion to give a complex mixture of products. Water (100 ml) was added and the mixture transferred to a separatory funnel with brine (100 ml) and extracted with dichloromethane (3 × 100 ml). The combined organic phases were dried (Na2SO4), filtered and the solvent removed in vacuo to give the crude product that was purified through a combination of crystallizations and column chromatography to give 4 (338 mg, 14%) as a clear gum (1:1 mixture of diastereoisomers) and the title compound (denoted 6 in Fig. 2, 112 mg, 14%) as colourless plates (a single diastereoisomer). m.p. (EtOAc, pentane) = 449–450 K.
H atoms were placed geometrically and allowed to ride during refinement with C—H = 0.95–1.00 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5Ueq(C). A combination of relatively thin plates and large unit-cell volume gave rise to relatively weak diffraction. The resulting structure is therefore of low precision. Although the molecular geometry was reasonable when unconstrained, the phenyl rings were constrained to be regular hexagons in an effort to improve the data-to-parameter ratio. One restraint was necessary: the C16=C17 bond was restrained to 1.35 (1) Å. In the absence of significant anomalous scattering effects, 770 Friedel pairs were merged as equivalent data. The absolute structure is based on the known stereochemical outcome of the asymmetric dihydroxylation.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Recently, we published a method for the synthesis of dihydrofurans containing a diphenylphosphinoyl group by intramolecular ring opening of cyclic carbonates (Fox et al., 2006). We are currently seeking to extend this methodology with other anion-stabilizing groups. In particular, we are interested in replacing the diphenylphosphinoyl group with a carboxylic ester. When we exposed (E,E)-tert-butyl 2-acetyl-2-cinnamyl-5-phenylpent-4-enoate to the standard Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation conditions (Kolb et al., 1994), followed by treatment with 1,1'-carbonyl diimidazole we obtained a significant amount (20%) of the title compound where only one olefin had been dihydroxylated.
