To a solution of 0.4 g (2.1 mmol) of diketone (2) in 4 ml of glacial acetic acid was added 0.23 g of Zn-powder. After the beginning of heating-up the mixture was stirred at 298 K for 0.5 h and 20% aqueous NaOH was added dropwise until solid formed. The solid was dissolved by addition of 1 ml 0.1 N HCl, the mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2 (5*20 ml), the combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated under reduced pressure to yield 0.26 g of compound (3) as a pale yellow crystalline solid, (compound 3) mp 359–361 K.

To a solution of 200 mg (1.3 mmol) of diketone (3) in 15 ml of MeOH 340 mg (8.9 mmol) of NaBH4 was added portionwise for 3 h, during which time the reaction temperature was kept between 293–303 K. The mixture was stirred at 298 K for 2 h, then 0.4 g of crystalline NH4Cl was added followed by 0.5 ml of 1 N HCl. The solvents were evaporated under reduced pressure, the residue was flashed by EtOAc/Me2CO (1:1) through a silica gel column to give 0.2 g of a yellow oil. The 1H and 13C NMR spectra showed that the oil contained several isomers so it was purified by

Compound (4) (95 mg, 0.61 mmol) was dissolved in 5 ml of py and 3 ml of Ac2O was added. The mixture was stirred for 24 h at room temperature and then concentrated under reduced pressure (1 mm Hg) to give a thick brown oil. Diacetate (I) was separated by flash
on silica gel (CH2Cl2) as colorless crystals, yield 134 mg (92%), mp 428–430 K, Rf = 0.4 (CH2Cl2). Crystals suitable for were obtained by slow evaporation of solvents from a dichloromethane-hexane solution.The positions of the H atoms were determined from Fourier difference maps; H atoms attached to carbons were then placed in calculated positions and allowed to ride on their parent atoms [C—H = 0.93–0.98 Å. Uiso(H) = xUeq(parent atom), where x = 1.2.] Hydrogen (H8, H81) atoms at C8 are refined freely.

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. |

Compounds containing the 8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane framework are important precursors in the field of biologically active compounds. They have shown broad utility as chiral building blocks for synthesis of polyketides (Coste & Gerber-Lemaire, 2005; Meilert et al., 2003; Schwenter & Vogel, 2001; Gerber-Lemaire & Vogel, 2003), C-linked disaccharides (Gerber & Vogel, 1999; Gerber & Vogel, 2001), calystegines (Re et al., 2009; Pascual et al., 2004; Derwick, 1998) and other natural products. Calystegines and other tropane alkaloids show remarkable inhibitory activities against several glycosidase enzymes, in comparison with other alkaloidal glycosidase inhibitors (Asano et al., 2000; Drager, 2004). They are used medicinally, e.g., as anticholinergics, competing with acetylcholine for the muscarinic receptor site of the parasympathetic nervous system (Derwick, 1998). De novo syntheses of a full set of hybrid d- and l-C-glycosides and thymine polyoxin C starting with the unsaturated 8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane framework have been reported (Hoffmann et al., 2001; Gethin & Simpkins, 1997). Moreover, recent research showed that several 8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1] octane derivatives possess moderate anti-HIV activity (Montana et al., 2009). In studies of novel biologically active homoinositol compounds, including selective glycosidase inhibitors, we have investigated a new synthetic approach to 8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane derivatives based on the reaction of tetrachlorocyclopropene with furan (Law et al., 1968) for the preparation of (1R,2R,3r,4S,5S)-3-methyl-8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-6-ene- 2,4-diol (4). Several structural results in this field have been previously reported (Tafeenko et al., 2009; Batson et al., 2004; Kreiselmeier et al., 2006; Hoffmann et al. 2001).
Determination of the relative stereochemistry of compound (4) (Fig. 2) by NMR methods was ambiguous so recourse was made to X-ray crystallography for which purpose the crystalline diacetate (I) was synthesized.
Molecule (I) has crystallographically-imposed mirror symmetry with the mirror plane, m, passing through atoms C3, C8, the endocyclic oxygen O8 and the midpoint of the double bond C6/C6i (i: x,1.5 - y, z). The 6-membered ring of the molecule adopts a chair conformation, with atoms O8 and C3 displaced out of plane defined by the atoms C2/C2i/C1/C1i (plane 1) by 0.856 (2) and -0.525 (2) Å, respectively. The carbon atom of the methyl-group and atoms C6,C6i (double bond) are displaced out of plane 1 by -2.028 (2) Å and -1.326 (2) Å respectively. The molecules (I) are linked by means of weak C—H···O hydrogen bonds to form chains running along a axis.
