How an early or late transition state impacts the stereoselectivity of tetrahydropyran formation by intramolecular oxa-Michael addition

The intramolecular oxa-Michael addition giving tetrahydropyrans has been examined experimentally using both acidic and basic catalysis. With acidic catalysis, the diequatorial product is exclusively obtained in a kinetically controlled reaction in all cases. Under basic conditions at low temperature...

description The intramolecular oxa-Michael addition giving tetrahydropyrans has been examined experimentally using both acidic and basic catalysis. With acidic catalysis, the diequatorial product is exclusively obtained in a kinetically controlled reaction in all cases. Under basic conditions at low temperature, the reaction is again under kinetic control, but formation of the axial-equatorial isomer is generally favoured with an (E)-Michael acceptor, although isomerisation to the diequatorial isomer is observed at higher temperatures. Computationally, it is found that the acid catalysed reaction has a late transition state and the kinetic favouring of the diequatorial isomer has a steric explanation. In contrast, under strongly basic conditions, an early transition state is found. Electrostatic effects are likely to be the main contributor to the stereoselectivity for the (E)-isomer and steric interactions for the (Z)-isomer.
