• Prostaglandins are technically hormones with very strong physiological effects
• Prostaglandins have been utilised to prevent and treat peptic ulcers, as a
vasodilator, to treat pulmmonary hypertension and induce childbirth / abortion
• This is a synthesis of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) by M. Suzuki, A. Yanagisawa & R.

• Possible to use chiral auxiliary to control 1,4-nucleophilic addition
• Chelation of amide and sultam oxygens to Mg restricts rotation and favours cis
conformation
• Addition occurs from most sterically accessible side
• Chiral auxiliary readily cleaved (& reused) to give enantiomerically pure compound
via diastereoselective reaction

• It possible to utilise 1,4-addition to introduce two stereogenic centres
• The first addition (BuMgBr) occurs as before to generate an enolate
• The enolate can then be trapped by an appropriate electrophile
• Once again the sultam chiral auxiliary controls the face of addition (of Me)

• A second chiral auxiliary is the oxazoline (5-membered ring) of Meyers’
• It can be prepared from carboxylic acids (normally in 3 steps) or from condensation
•
of the amino alcohol and a nitrile
As can be seen excellent enantiomeric excesses can be achieved via a highly
diastereoselective reaction

• Radicals once thought to be too reactive to allow diastereoselective reactions
• Clearly not true - oxazolidinone auxiliary
• Rare-earth Lewis acids give superior results
• Use of Et3B & O2 as radical initiator allows the use of low temperatures

• Sulfoxide is a good chiral auxiliary; not only does it introduce a stereocentre but it
•
•
•
•
activates the alkene by addition of an extra electron-withdrawing group
Sulfoxide substituent blocks the bottom face & is readily removed
Simple substrate control instals aryl group on opposite face to substituent
(–)-Podorhizon is a member of the anticancer podophyllotoxin family of compounds

• L-CCG-I (L-carboxycyclopropylglycine-I) is a conformationally restrained analogue of
•
L-glutamic acid (there are four possible stereoisomers of L-CCG)
L-Glutamic acid is the most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter in our bodies; it is
thought to be involved in cognitive functions like learning and memory in the brain
and possibly with umami, one of the five basic human tastes

conjugate addition
Whilst many are very successful for certain substrates, few are capable of acting on
a wide range of compounds
The system above gives excellent enantioselectivities for cyclohexenone but...
no selectivity for cyclopentenone

•
had been developed, the enantioselective catalytic variant rapidly followed
Effectively, this is a chiral Lewis acid catalysed reaction
