Peroxy-Carbenium Mediated Asymmetric Synthesis of 1,2-Dioxanes and 1,2-Dioxolanes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The endoperoxide scaffold is found in numerous natural products and synthetic substances with pharmaceutical interest. The principal challenge to their synthetic access remains the preparation of chiral compounds, due to the weakness of the peroxide bond, which limits the scope of available or applicable methods. Here, we demonstrate how peroxycarbenium species can be trapped by silylated nucleophiles with high enantioselectivities, and diastereoselectivities when applicable, using a chiral imidophosphorimidate (IDPi) as catalyst. The scope of the methodology is broad, encompassing a large varie-ty of enoxysilanes, and yielding 1,2-dioxanes or 1,2-dioxolanes. Peroxides can be converted into chiral alcohols or trans-epoxides, and the methodology was applied in a key step of the total synthesis of ethyl plakortide Z, which demonstrated enhanced selectivity. Kinetic studies demonstrated that tert-butyldimethylsilylated nucleophiles are more potent than trime-thylsilylated ones. Furthermore, it was observed that the reaction necessitates an induction period, indicating the formation of a silylium species that behaves as the true catalyst.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
