  • A practical procedure of low valent tin mediated Barbier allylation of aldehydes in wet solvent
    Tetrahedron Letters, 2013
    Co-Authors: Conxin Vilanova, María Sánchez-peris, Steven Roldán, Bhaskar Dhotare, Miguel Carda, Angshuman Chattopadhyay
    Abstract:

    Abstract Use of aluminium as the reducing metal in spontaneous bimetal redox reaction has been elegantly exploited for allylation/Crotylation of aldehydes in wet solvent. Here, low valent tin was prepared in situ by reduction of SnCl 2 ·2H 2 O with aluminium in THF/water. The resulting low valent tin acted as an efficient mediator for allylation and Crotylation of aldehydes ( 3a – q ) producing the corresponding homoallylic alcohols. The efficacy of this procedure was due to its operational simplicity, practical viability, inexpensiveness, good yields of the products and short reaction time.

  • A Novel Asymmetric Synthesis of the Core Octadienoic Acid Unit of Cryptophycins from (R)-2,3-O-Cyclohexylideneglyceraldehyde
    Synthesis, 2011
    Co-Authors: Dibakar Goswami, Anubha Sharma, Angshuman Chattopadhyay, Payel Sur, Subrata Chattopadhyay
    Abstract:

    A facile asymmetric synthesis of the octadienoic acid unit of cryptophycins was developed starting from (R)-2,3-O-cyclo-hexylideneglyceraldehyde. The key steps of the synthesis are the stereocontrolled generation of the required asymmetric centers through (i) a gallium-mediated highly diastereoselective Crotylation of the glyceraldehyde in [bmim][Br], (ii) a stereoselective allylation with allyltributylstannane, and (iii) an enantioselective Grignard addition to an α-oxygenated aldehyde.

  • Crotylation of r 2 3 o cyclohexylideneglyceraldehyde a simple synthesis of trans oak lactone
    Tetrahedron Letters, 2010
    Co-Authors: Angshuman Chattopadhyay, Dibakar Goswami, Bhaskar Dhotare
    Abstract:

    Abstract Crotylations of ( R )-2,3-cyclohexylideneglyceraldehyde ( 1 ) were utilized in a simple synthesis of trans -oak lactone ( I ), a representative example of chiral β,γ-disubstituted-γ-butyrolactones. In this endeavor, Crotylations of 1 in THF mediated with four low valent metals were studied. All these reactions took place efficiently producing 2 in good yields but with varied stereoselectivities. Each reaction produced the corresponding secondary alcohol adduct 2b and 2c predominantly with diastereoisomer 2a only in trace amounts. Among these four reactions, only Sn-mediated addition yielded 2b as the major products. Later, 2c was converted into 2d through oxidation–reduction. Finally, 2c was transformed into trans -oak lactone I in a few steps. Following this route, 2a , 2b , and 2d would produce other stereoisomers of oak lactone.

  • Metal-dependent modulation of diastereoselectivity in the Barbier-type Crotylation of (R)-cyclohexylideneglyceraldehyde
    Tetrahedron: Asymmetry, 2009
    Co-Authors: Dibakar Goswami, Angshuman Chattopadhyay, Subrata Chattopadhyay
    Abstract:

    The diastereoselectivity of the Barbier-type Crotylation of (R)-cyclohexylideneglyceraldehyde could be tuned by changing the metal atom and solvent. The Ga-mediated reaction in [bmim][Br] produced the best diastereoselectivity, furnishing the all-anti product in good yield.
