CH '“3‘\\H CH 1 N The reactions of cross-conjugated dienolate anions derived from substituted cyclohexenones with methyl acrylate and vinyl ketones form bicyclo[2.2.ZJoctan-Z—ones by a sequential Michael mechanism; however, the reaction of vinyl ketones must be conducted under amine-free conditions.

One of the better known Eastern perfumes is Patchouli. According to Genders,l "Its odour is the most powerful of all scents derived from the botanical kingdom, and in its unadulterated form smells extremely unpleasantly of goats." The oil of Patchouli has an odor that is "sweet, powerful 2 One sesquiterpene isolated and persistent of old wood." from Patchouli oil obtained from the Seyschelles Islands is Seyschellene Sl).3 Another sesquiterpene isolated from Patchouli oil is Patchouli alcohol 9;).4 '\“\H ['5 \\\\\ H H C82 .13 3..

In the approach devised by Piers,5 Wieland-Miescher ketone £2) was transformed into the tosylate‘g’in sixteen steps (eq. 1). Treatment of the tosylate g'with sodium hydride afforded norseyschellanone’g, this being the key step in the formation of the tricyclic skeleton of seyschel- lene. Norseyschellanone 92) was treated first with methyl- lithium and next with a solution of pyridine and thionyl chloride to yield seyschellene’l. It is important to note that as a result of Pier's synthesis, a synthesis of nor- seyschellanone constitutes a synthesis of seyschellene. O 16 STEPS ' NaI-I -> (l) C82 1 Seyschellene av (100% from’a 2’ Norseyschellanone Another synthesis of seyschellene, devised by Prater,6 employs the Diels-Alder reaction (eq. 2). Alkylation of the phenolate l'with cis and trans-S-bromo-B—methyl-l,3—penta- diene yielded ketone‘g. This mixture of ketones was heated in benzene to form the tricyclic ketoneslg and £3. Hydro- genation of‘g’and 10 afforded ketones 11 and 12. Ketone 11 N IV IV ~ was then treated with methyllithium to afford the alcohol 13. It should be noted that the tricyclic compounds 10, 11 N N N and 13 do not have the carbon skeleton of seyschellene. In a very interesting rearrangement reaction, the alcohol 13,was heated with sodium acetate in acetic acid to yield seyschellene (’1'). Prater suggests that this reaction proceeds via a wagner Meerwein rearrangement.

In six steps, 2,3-dimethy1-2- cyclohexenone was converted into the N-oxide 13; Pyrolysis of the N-oxide 13 afforded a number (unreported) of products, one of which was the ketone lg. The yield of l§ was not reported; thus, it is unknown whether or not this was the major product. Hydrogenation of the ketone 13 gave norsey- schellanone (5). O 6 STEPS (3) —* -> —> CH '0'. . ...I' .- -V'Oll ‘ 79"! v.'- a. x .1 The seyschellene synthesis effected by Mirrington8 (eq. 4), is based on the following strategy. First, a suit- ably functionalized bicyclo[2.2.2]octane was synthesized. Next, the six membered ring in the tricyclic carbon skeleton of seyschellene was annealed to form norseyschellone. The Diels-Alder reaction of 1,3—dimethyl—1,3—cyclohexadiene with methyl vinyl ketone affords the ketone 19,9 which was con- verted into the tosylate 11 in seven steps. Cyclization of the tosylate 23 was accomplished by treatment with trityl potassium to yield norseyschellanone £2). One major dis- advantage of Mirrington's synthesis is the difficulty associated with the stereoselective construction of the non- rigid 4-carbon side chain in 13. Because of this difficulty, it was necessary at one stage in the synthetic sequence to separate a pair of epimeric compounds.5 (4) 17 (ZaTaO or Br) CH 16 ~ 0 3 CH V ' 3 ' w” “.3 ¢3CK 4",' 4-——- .._J Z 0 i— 6 J 5 09K Every successful synthetic strategy has as its founda- tion at least one specific transformation of a versatile intermediate. In this study, the availability of the cross» conjugated enolate anion 1§,and its reactions prompted con- sideration of the total synthesis of seyschellene (eq. 5). Treatment of a cyclic a,8 unsaturated ketone (13) with a lithium amide yields the cross conjugated enolate anion lg (to be discussed later). This enolate can be alkylated to give a' aklyl a,B unsaturated ketones 1&3)'10 A most unusual reaction is observed when a cross conjugated enolate anion is treated with methyl acrylate. A bicyclo[2.2.2]octanone £;}) is formed in very high yield.11 The formation of a suitable bicyclo[2.2.2]octanone would be a very useful intermediate in a synthetic pathway which follows a strategy similar to the approach used by Mirrington. This dissertation describes experiments which explore this type of synthetic pathway to the total synthesis of seyschel- lene. o P 0 Li '7 LDA (S) THF 0° R R ' R B R 19 LR “J N 18 N a) R = H b) R = CH3 0 R2 18 “2" a ‘ R R R 20 ~ ozcn3 R R 1) We CH3R 2) 32° 0 o LDA (5) R THF, 0° R 19 N a) R = H b) R = CH 2 R x 18 , I R L11 W0 CH3R 2) H2 R R B b J 18 N 0 R2 R R R 20 ~ ozca3 R o 1 l- 3.! .0...\ (I. l " I RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The addition of methyl acrylate to the cross conjugated dienolate anion derived from iSOphorone gave keto ester 21 (eq. 5). There are two probable mechanisms by which this 1; reaction might proceed. One consists of a sequence of two Michael reactions (eq. 6) and the other involves a Diels- ~a Alder cycloaddition (eq. 7) in which the dienolate anion serves as the diene reactant. In view of the very high yields observed under exceptionally mild conditions with substrates of varying steric hindrance (to be discussed later), the sequential Michael mechanism was favored by Ross Lee in his initial investigation of this reaction.11 In a study of the Michael reaction conducted by House et al.,12 the reaction of an enolate anion with B-chloro- methyl acrylate (eq. 8) gave unsaturated adduct via an addition-elimination mechanism. The same strategy was used here to study the mechanism of reaction eq. 5. Thus, addi- tion of cis-B—chloro-methyl acrylate at -23° to the cross- conjugated dienolate anion derived from isophorone afforded the keto-ester 33 and starting material (eq. 9). A similar 13 result was noted by Boeckman (eq. 10). These results clearly point to a double Michael reaction sequence, since 10 the bicyclo[2.2.2]octanone product (g3) expected from the Dials-Alder pathway should have been sufficiently stable to be isolated or otherwise observed.

Li H08 0- l I 7.7:! / The synthesis of pure divinyl ketone turned out to be a difficult task. Oxidation of divinyl carbinol with manganese dioxide afforded divinyl ketone ("'508) and start- ing material (eq. 16). Attempts to purify divinyl ketone by spinning band column distillation failed to completely remove divinyl carbinol and a similar result was noted by Reed.14 It was, of course, unacceptable to use contaminated diVinyl ketone as a Michael acceptor, since the alcholic imPurity would serve as a proton source which would destroy or isomerize the cross-conjugated dienolate anion. 15 Another approach to prepare divinyl ketone is the aluminum chloride catalyzed reaction of ethylene with B-chloro-acetyl chloride to yield 1,5-dichloro-3-pentanone (eq. 17), followed by bis-dehydrochlorination. Attempts to dehydrochlorinate 1,5-dichloro-3-pentanone using sodium carbonate by the procedure of Jones and Taylor failed.15 However, formation of divinyl ketone from 1,5-dichloro-3- pentanone was accomplished by using the method of dehydro- chlorination developed by DeJongh and Wynberg.16 Thus, reaction of 1,5-dichloro-3-pentanone with ethyl dicyclo- hexyl amine at 100°C under vacuum yielded divinyl ketone which could be further purified by vacuum distillation (eq. 17).

This disappointing result was matched by the reaction of methyl vinyl ketone with the same dienolate anion, which yielded mostly starting material and ~10% of the corresponding double Michael adduct (33, eq. 18). Thus, under reaction conditions that gave a successful double Michael reaction with methyl acrylate, methyl vinyl ketone was surprisingly unreactive.

Since the conjugated double bond of a vinyl ketone is more polar than the corre- 17 sponding bond of a vinyl ester, vinyl ketones should in fact be more reactive in Michael reactions. In order to 17 reconcile these facts, it must be recognized that two nucleo- philes are present in the reaction mixture: the dienolate anion and a 2° amine (eq. 19). If the amine reacts with the vinyl ketone by a 1,4 addition (eq. 20), the resulting adduct might initiate vinyl ketone polymerization, and in any event would hinder the desired reaction. 0 P OLi W THF, -78° , + (>_)2NH (19) (>- ) 2NLi R NH O a W (20) _.... b This argument suggests that removal of the amine after formation of the dienolate anion would facilitate subsequent double Michael reaction using vinyl ketones as Michael acceptors. To test this premise, isophorone was treated with lithium diisopropyl amide (LDA). The resulting amine and solvent were removed by vacuum distillation from the reac- tion vessel. The remaining crystalline dienolate anion was 18 redissolved in THF under an argon atmosphere and then cooled to -78°. Addition of methyl vinyl ketone to this amine-free dienolate anion solution led to the desired bicyclo[2.2.2]octanedione 23 (eq. 21) in 75% yield. Surprisingly, reaction of the amine-free conjugate base derived from 2,3-dimethyl-cyclohexenone with methyl vinyl ketone or ethyl vinyl ketone did not proceed to a bicyclo[2.2.2]octane product. Only the mono Michael product 39 was obtained under mild conditions, and more vigorous treatment (longer reaction time at a higher temperature)gave the decalone 21 (eq. 22). This same decalone was also obtained by stirring dione 29 in a THF solution of‘FOK for 2 days at room temperature (eq. 22).

THF, 48 h 0 0 29 N The effect of methyl groups on the course of the Sequential Michael reactions of cyclohexenone dienolate anions with methyl vinyl ketone is indeed striking. It is also puzzling that this effect does not appear when the Michael acceptor is methyl acrylate. In order to explore this feature more fully a series of comparative cyclizations were conducted in which methyl groups were positioned at different sites on the cyclohexenone ring. For this purpose, 23 3-methylcyclohexenone was prepared in two steps from cyclo- hexan-l,3-dione (eq. 28) and 2-methy1cyclohexenone was obtained in three steps from the same starting material (eq. 28).19 o OEt O (28) TSOH,¢H i EtOH,A . 2) H300 ’ 0 o o c1131 0 O N aZH'HZOJ . 3501mm! 1) LAH .

The reaction of the amine-free cross-conjugated dienolate anions of these methylcyclohexenones with methyl vinyl ketone also afforded the expected bicyclo[2.2.2]octane diOnes (eq. 29 and 30).

(31) O 44 N Since ester enolate bases are less stable and more reactive than ketone enolate anions (esters are over 10,000 times weaker as Bronsted acids than are ketoneszo), there is a thermodynamic driving force favoring cyclization (ga,+ 5g) of the intermediate formed from acrylate ester addition (z = OCH3 in equation 31). Vinyl ketone reactions, on the other hand, proceed through a series of ketone enolate anions among which this driving force is missing. In the absence of strong steric hindrance, the cyclization should Still be favored because of the increase in bond energy ‘that normally accompanys the conversion of w-bonds to (Fibonds, Indeed, this is observed for all cases in which at least one of the R substituents (R:L or R2) is a hydrogen atom.
