Remote Asymmetric Induction in Free-Radical Cycloaddition Leading to Trans-Cyclohexano-Fused 12-Membered Crown Thioethers

Abstract

Homolytic cycloaddition of dithiol 1, derived from trans-1,2-cyclohexanediol, to alkynes induced by Pr3BO2 occurs with 1,6-asymmetric induction to afford predominantly (1S∗, 6R∗, 12S∗)-trans-cyclohexano-fused 12-membered crown thialactones 4a-c. No pronounced diasteroselectivity was found in the corresponding reactions of dithiol 2, derived from cis-1,2-cyclohexanediol.
