7.2.1 Formación de 1,3-dioles
7.2.1.2 Método de Falck
En 2007 Falck y col. describieron un método organocatalítico y enantioselectivo para preparar
sin-dioles 1,2- y 1,3- utilizando cetonas α,β-insaturadas.195 En este protocolo tiene lugar una adición de oxi-Michael u oxa-Michael de un ácido hemiéster borónico, formado in situ por el ácido borónico y la δ-hidroxi-α,β-enona, catalizada por una amina terciaria. La versión enantioselectiva de esta reacción utiliza catalizadores bifuncionales quirales del tipo tiourea/amina terciaria. En este caso, la tiourea se coordina con el carbonilo y el nitrógeno de la amina terciaria al boro, facilitando así la adición conjugada. Finalmente, la oxidación del boronato cíclico (1,3-dioxa-2-borinano) con H2O2 permite aislar el diol deseado en buenos rendimientos y excelentes diastereoselectividades.

Esquema 7.5. Adición conjugada. Método de Falck
Decidimos probar esta reacción en nuestro modelo del Fragmento Norte 7.5, tanto con una tiourea quiral como con la tiourea aquiral de Schreiner, ya que esperábamos que en la molécula final el hidroxilo en C16 actuara como grupo director en la adición, formándose el diol sin en
C18.
A pesar de conseguir el producto deseado, el rendimiento no fue muy alto en las primeras pruebas, obteniendo mayoritariamente el aducto 7.6.
Se decidió entonces realizar la reacción en dos etapas, aislando el boronato cíclico (el borinano
7.6) con buen rendimiento y estudiando la eliminación del ácido borónico mediante un método
más suave. El método de oxidación puede que no sea óptimo para aplicarlo a la síntesis total de la Anfidinolida B2 en una etapa tan avanzada, ya que la molécula tiene otros grupos funcionales
que pueden reaccionar bajo estas condiciones.
Por ello que se optó por la transesterificación del éster borónico con dioles y aminoalcoholes para formar una especie termodinámicamente más estable y liberar así nuestra molécula. La estabilidad relativa de un gran número de fenilboronatos ya fue estudiada por Brown y col.,

107 concluyendo que los cis-1,2-ciclopentanodioles forman fenilboronatos más estables que los boronatos cíclicos de seis miembros, como es nuestro caso.196
Esquema 7.6. Orden de estabilidad termodinámica de boronatos
Este estudio se realizó con 3 equivalentes de los dioles y aminoalcoholes que se observan en el
Esquema 7.7 en CDCl3.
Esquema 7.7. Dioles y aminoalcoholes
Todas las reacciones fueron monitorizadas por RMN de 1H cada 5-10 minutos hasta que llegaron al equilibrio, lo que ocurrió siempre antes de los 20 minutos. En el Esquema 7.8 se pueden apreciar los equilibrios en cada uno de los casos.
108
Como ya habían descrito Brown y col.,196 el diol cíclico (cis) resultó el termodinámicamente más estable, seguido del 1,3-propanodiol. No obstante, no se observó transboronación con el pinacol, a pesar de haberse descrito que sus boronatos son más estables que los boronatos formados con el 1,3-propanodiol.196
Cabe destacar que cuando se utilizó la tiourea de Schreiner se obtuvo una mezcla de diastereómeros en proporción 1:1, mientras que con la tiourea derivada de la cinchona únicamente se observó un diastereómero.
En la misma línea, Helena Mora en su Máster estudió esta reacción con el modelo 7.8 y comprobó que, al contrario de los resultados mostrados por Falck, el ácido fenilborónico (ácido bencenoborónico) daba mejores rendimientos que el ácido 3,4,5-trimetoxifenilborónico (ácido 3,4,5-trimetoxibencenoborónico). Aunque la adición del hemiéster borónico al doble enlace conjugado puede ser más rápida con este último, la formación del hemiéster puede ser más lenta, por lo que al tratarse de un hidroxilo terciario la primera etapa quizás tenga lugar con muy bajo rendimiento. Además, observamos que la tiourea no era necesaria para que la reacción tuviera lugar.

Tabla 7.1. Estudios de la reacción de formación del boronato cíclico (Máster de Helena Mora)
Mediante el análisis de los espectros de 1H y 13C, H. Mora estimó una relación diastereomérica aproximada de 80:20 en el nuevo centro creado (ambos como mezcla racémica). Por espectros de NOESY determinó que el diastereómero mayoritario corresponde al diol sin. Estos resultados, aunque sean preliminares y aplicados a modelos sencillos, parecen confirmar que la transformación puede ser aplicada a la síntesis de la Anfidinolida B2.

General Experimental MethodsAll reactions were conducted in oven-dried glassware under an inert atmosphere of nitrogen with anhydrous solvents. The solvents and reagents were purified and dried according to standard procedures. Specific rotations were determined at 20°C on a Perkin-Elmer 241 MC polarimeter. IR spectra were recorded on either a Perkin-Elmer 681 or a Nicolet 510 FT spectrometer and only the more representative frequencies (cm–1) are reported. 1H NMR (400 MHz) and 13C NMR (100.6 MHz) spectra were recorded on a Varian Mercury-400 spectrometer. Chemical shifts (δ) are quoted in ppm and referenced to internal TMS (δ 0.00) for 1H NMR and CDCl
3 (δ 77.16) for 13C NMR; coupling constants (J) are quoted in Hz; data are reported as follows: s, singlet; d, doublet; t, triplet; q, quartet; m, multiplet; br, broad; where appropriate, 2D techniques were also used to assist in structure elucidation. High resolution mass spectra (HRMS) were obtained from the Unitat d’Espectrometria de Masses, Serveis Científico-Tècnics de la Universitat de Barcelona. Flash chromatography was performed on Merck silica gel 60 (0.040–0.063 mm). Analytical thin-layer chromatography was carried out on Merck Kieselgel 60 F254 plates.

After stirring for 4 h at room temperature, the reaction was cooled to 0 °C and quenched by addition of a solution of iodine (51.0 g, 200 mmol) in THF (200 mL). Stirring was continued overnight at room temperature and then a saturated aqueous solution of Na2S2O3 (100 mL) and HCl 2 M (20 mL) were added to the reaction flask and the layers were separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with EtOAc (3 x 30 mL) and the combined organic phases were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The reddish residue was purified by flash column chromatography (hexanes/EtOAc, 7:3) to afford 1.7 (9.5 g, 72% yield).

To an oven-dried 500 mL round-bottom flask charged with a magnetic stir bar and flushed with argon, was added trimethyl borate (10.4 g, 100 mmol) in Et2O (100 mL) and cooled to −78 °C. A solution of allylmagnesium bromide (1.0 M in Et2O, 14.5 g, 100 mmol) was added dropwise from an addition funnel over 30 min. The reaction was stirred for 2 h at −78 °C and allowed to warm to room temperature. The reaction was cooled to 0 °C, and 3 M HCl (120 mL) was added slowly through an addition funnel. The mixture was stirred until all solids were solved, the organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with Et2O (3 x 50 mL). The organic layers were combined and dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to 200 mL in a dry 500 mL round-bottom flask. To the resultant solution 1,3-propanediol (7.2 mL, 100 mmol) and flame-dried 4-Å molecular sieves (20 g) were added. The suspension was allowed to stir at room temperature for 16 h. The reaction mixture was filtered through a sintered glass funnel and the molecular sieves were washed with Et2O (2 x 75 mL). The solvent was removed with a rotary evaporator without allowing the water bath to exceed 25 °C. The crude product was then solved in pentane (150 mL) to give a cloudy suspension and filtered through a pad of Celite®. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the resulting clear liquid was dissolved in pentane:Et2O 2:1 (100 mL) and loaded on a short, pre-equilibrated silica gel column and flushed with an additional 200 mL of solvent. The solution is concentrated in an oven-dried 500 mL round bottom flask, charged with a magnetic bar, placed in an ice bath and concentrated to constant weight under high vacuum with stirring, to yield B-allyl-1,3,2 dioxaborinane (11.4 g, 90% yield) as a colorless liquid.
