✦ Synopsis
Sumary : A new route for (Z)-u.B-disubstituted acrylate is described which is made up of 1) stereoselective reduction of ketones 3 and 2) conversion of the resulting syn-2 into (Z)-1. Developement of a stereoselective method for the synthesis of (Z)-a,B-disubstituted acrylate 1 has attracted considerable attention, since the Wittig type reaction proceeding through stabilized ylides prefer to afford the more stable (E)-isomer. Recently, it was reported that the long-desired (Z)-isomer could be synthesized effectively by the Horner-Emmons reaction provided phosphonoester reagent was properly designed.l However. in view of the importance of these moieties in natural product synthesis. it seemed worthwhile to explore another practical approach.
We now report that (Z)-1 could be synthesized effectively by the
