摘要
An intramolecular dehydrogenative homo-and hetero-coupling of phenols has been successfully developed for quick preparation of enantiopure axial diphenols under mild Cu(Ⅱ)-mediated conditions,using((4 S,5 S)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-4,5-diyl)dimethanol as the chiral auxiliary.The commercially available(R)-α-met hylbenzy la mine was identified as the best amine ligand for Cu(Ⅱ) in the reactions.A variety of homo/hetero bis-dihydroxylbenzoate substrates were examined,affording the corresponding axially chiral diphenols with satis factory to excellent diastereomeric ratios,and a representative scalable preparation was also attempted.A formal synthesis of natural product(+)-deoxyschizandrin has been achieved in this work using one axially chiral diphenol as the synthetic intermediate.
