Chiral benzyllithium compounds: High configurative stability of (R)- and (S)-1-lithioindan-1-yl N,N-diisopropylcarbamate and unexpected stereochemical course of the substitution reactions

The title compound, 6, was generated by stereospecific deprotonation of the optically active carbamate 5 with sec-butyllithium/TMEDA and proved to be configuratively completely stable in ethereal solution at -78 °C. Compared with open-chain analogs, the trend for stereoretentive substitution is enhanced. Even the reaction with trialkyltin chlorides leads to partial racemization due to competing front face attack. Semiempirical calculations point to an increased degree of pyramidalization and to a higher barrier for planarization in the cyclic benzyllithium compound, both of which disfavor the rear face attack.

A new reaction setup for kinetic enzymatic resolution was established and is demonstrated for the case of the hydrolase-catalysed conversion of methyl 2,3-dihydro-1H-indene1-carboxylate (1) in conjunction with a base-catalysed racemisation. The system allows controlled racemisation, resulting in efficient dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of the title compound. Short reaction times and high enantio-selectivities were obtained with CAL-B and TBD (1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4,4.0]dec-5-ene). Compound (R)-1 (ee 95%) served as a starting material in a domino reaction that led to the biaryl indanyl ketone (R)-8, a lead compound for novel inhibitors of peptidyl-prolyl-cis/irans- isomerases, in 94 % ee.

On the Absolute Configuration of (+)-Indane-1-carboxylic Acid

The (R)-configuration, attributed to (+)-indane-carboxylic acid ((+)-1) by Fredga, is unequivocally confirmed (Scheme 1).Configurational doubts, raised by an erroneous ORD. curve of (-)-1-methylindane ((-)-4) published by Brewster and Buta, are unfounded (cf. the following paper of Brewster and the corrections in ).This was further verified by preparing deuteriated 1-methylindanes starting with (-)-(R)-3-phenylbutyric acid ((-)-(R)-5) as well as with (+)-(R)-1 or (-)-(S)-1 (Scheme 2).The ORD. curves of the optically active 4 thus obtained were (disregarding deuterium isotope effects) identical or antipodal, respectively (cf.Fig.1,2, and 7a-e).Optically active methyl indane-1-carboxylates ((-)-(R)-14 or (+)-(S)--14) show a strong solvent dependence of their ORD. and CD. spectra with a sign inversion occuring in going from isooctane to methanol or benzene.The observed changes can be explained by a change in the population of comformations where the ester carbonyl group is eclipsed either with the C(1),C(2)- or C(1),H-bond, with the n,?*-transition having a slightly different energy and the ester group an essentially enantiomeric environment with respect to its orientation relative to the benzene moiety.
