Abstract
A versatile three-step procedure to annulate a γ-pyrone onto a methylene ketone was developed involving (i) aldol reaction with a dithiolane-protected β-ketoaldehyde, (ii) oxidation of the aldol adduct to a β-diketone, and (iii) treatment of the resulting dithiolane-protected 1,3,5-trione with 2-iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX) and trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (triflic acid; TfOH) in acetonitrile at ambient temperature to give the corresponding γ-pyrone. Cyclization proceeded with IBX alone, but significantly improved yields were obtained with added acid, particularly triflic acid. A dithiolane was more effective than a dithiane or acyclic dithioacetal protecting group. The method was amenable to the preparation of a variety of substituted γ-pyrones simply by altering the initial aldol reactants. Overall yields of 50%–60% were obtained in six examples. The method was applied to prepare a key fragment for the total synthesis of baconipyrones A and C and siphonarin B.
