Popis: This thesis describes the synthesis and chemistry of alkyl 2,3-bis(trimethylstannyl)-2-alkenoates ((78) and (83)). It was shown that these compounds could be readily transformed into useful intermediates for the synthesis of functionalized, stereochemically defined tetrasub-stituted alkenes (87) and tricyclic dienes of general structure (322A). The synthesis and chemistry of compounds (277) and (278) is also described. The palladium(O)-catalyzed addition of hexamethylditin to a variety of α,β-acetylenic esters (90), afforded in a stereoselective manner, the corresponding alkyl (Z)-2,3-bis(trimethylstannyl)-2-alkenoates (83). Subsequent thermolysis of these compounds afforded the corresponding alkyl (E)-2, 3-bis(trimethylstannyl)-2-alkenoates (78). It was found that treatment of alkyl (E)- and (Z)-2,3-bis(tri-methylstannyl)-2-alkenoates with methyllithium at low temperature, followed by reaction of the resultant nucleophilic intermediate with a variety of alkylating agents, afforded the trisubstituted vinylstannanes (80). On the other hand, successive treatment of methyl w-halo-2,3-bis-(trimethylstannyl)-2-alkenoates (202) with methyllithium and HMPA provided a facile route to cyclic β-trimethylstannyl α,β-unsaturated esters (203). Compounds (80) were readily converted into vinyl iodides of general structure (219) in which W is a functionalized group derived from the CO₂R moiety. These latter compounds served as useful intermediates for the synthesis of functionalized, stereochemically defined tetrasubstituted alkenes (87). For example, treatment of compounds (219) with 1.1 or 2.2 equiv of n-butyllithium at -78°C afforded the corresponding vinyllithium species (86), which could either be alkylated directly or further transposed into the organocopper(I) reagent (263A) and then alkylated, to afford in each case, the tetrasubstituted alkenes (87). The Pd(0)-catalyzed addition of tri-n-butylstannyltrimethylgermane (276) to a variety of α,β-acetylenic esters (90) afforded the corresponding compounds (277) and (278) in a ratio of approximately 3:1, respectively. Treatment of the (E) isomers (277) with n-butyllithium at -98°C, followed by alkylation of the resultant nucleophilic intermediate afforded the corresponding trisubstituted vinylgermanes (293). One of these latter compounds was readily converted into the iodo bromide (308), which is potentially synthetically equivalent to the d,a synthon (310). When the enolate anion of compounds (203) was successively treated with HMPA and compound (308) the esters (311) were obtained. The Pd(0) catalyzed intramolecular coupling of the vinylstannane-vinyl iodide moieties of (311) provided a facile route to the bicyclic triene esters (312). Similarly, alkylation of the enolate anion of compounds (203) with (325) (which was readily obtained from (203), in which n - 1), followed by the Pd(0)-catalyzed coupling of the resulting alkylated material afforded the tricyclic diene esters (322A).
