21.119 The following synthetic step was utilized as part of a synthesis of the polycyclic natural product haouamine B.15 This step represents both an electrophilic aromatic substitution and a Michael addition. In this reaction, the function of the first reagent (triflic anhydride) is to activate the Michael acceptor that is present in the starting compound (rendering it even more electrophilic), so that it can undergo an intramolecular Michael reaction. Draw a mechanism for this reaction and explain the observed stereochemistry of the newly formed chiral center. OMe MeO MeO F3C-S-O-S-CF3 Pyridine MeO OMe H OMe ZIR O=S=0 CF3

Amino acids can be prepared by the reaction of alkyl halides with diethyl acetamidomalonate, followed by heating the initial alkylation product with aqueous HCl. The reaction to form alanine involves the following steps: Reaction of diethyl acetamidomalonate with sodium ethoxide to form enolate anion 1; The enolate anion acts as a nucleophile in an SN2 reaction with alkyl iodide 2 to form alkylated intermediate 2; Heating in the presence of aqueous acid hydrolyzes both the ester and the amide bonds, and induces decarboxylation to form alanine. Draw the structure of enolate anion 1.
II. Alcohols in synthesis A. What are the strategies for the synthesis of alcohols by nucleophilic substitution reactions using halide leaving groups with hydroxide as a nucleophile? How do you predict possible by-products that could arise from this strategy? How do you use the less acetate nucleophile followed by treatment with NaOH to avoid by-products?
Which of the following compounds (A or M) would be the better choice for a nucleophilic substitution reactionusing Compound T as the starting material and DMSO as the solvent? Would the resulting reaction be SN1 or SN2?
The Dess–Martin reaction reacts an alcohol with the Dess–Martin periodinane. The first step displaces one of the acetate groups on the periodinane with the alcohol. A base then deprotonates one of the alpha protons, forming a new carbonyl bond, iodinane and acetic acid. The oxidation stops at this stage to give the aldehyde. Both Swern and Dess–Martin conditions will also convert a secondary alcohol to a ketone. Now apply what has just been discussed. Draw the major organic product.
